Nom: New Bodhum (FFXIII-2)

since I remember hyping it up at the outset...

uhhhh I think i have 2 noms left

oh geez

So how many more minutes are we running? 7 or 67?

azuarc posted...

FYI, we are starting to lose 3/3's.

Might as well add one more to the mix

Nominate: Servants of the Mountain (FFX)
(though it'll always be "People of the North Pole" to me)

thank Suprak.... I gotta say I'm a fan of Corneo Colosseum too, it's a bit more subdued a song but it's great. I still have the "1 hour loop" version of it on my phone, lol

ok. guess I'll get my songs to 3 noms and see if they can be forged in the crucible of the tiebreaker process (or collectively all miss if 4 becomes the cutoff lol)

Auto-trading 1 more time for Divine Love (LR: FFXIII)

Corneo Colosseum (FFVIIR)

Are you still trading for Corneo Colosseum? I would nom it for Ghoul (FFVIIR) if so.

....I think we might need a refresh/reconfirmation on what the tiebreaker rules are with the next update & what's missing the cut at the moment.

np hb I figured as much, it was late!

(Also I was thinking I was getting an extra hour so I stayed up later than I should have... blaming andy for this, lol)

Prismelody: Those Who Fight (World of FF)

Yeah I can do that, for Servants of the Mountain (FFX)

listening to God in Fire, I had forgotten this was a fav song of mine at one time. Memories came flooding back of the song playing on repeat in the Regalia, and then playing on repeat outside of the game too...

nothing against Cantata Mortis which is pretty good in its own regard, but two completely different songs, completely different styles being smooshed together in one... not great!

Beyond the Darkness (FFX)
Zanarkand Ruins (FFX-2)

NFUN posted...

1 trade for Beyond the Darkness
1 trade for Zanarkand Ruins (X-2)

will work with any song except 1000 Words or Real Emotion

Let's go 2 for 2 on our trades then, please? Divine Love (LR: FFXIII) & Ghoul (FFVIIR) and I'll get those two

For the new page, I am still auto-trading one time for the following two songs:
-Divine Love (LR: FFXIII)
-Ghoul (FFVIIR)

coup time? where's Dante?

andylt posted...

maybe a bunch of players hated going through this sequence so they made it easier or more standard or something

It's me, I'm a bunch of players.

Chapter 13 is horrible, I could see the appeal for people who like survival games but that's never been my thing. It was just so jarring, and tedious.

Good once the gang's back together and you get your weapons back, at least.

alright guess I'm doing the thing I told myself I wouldn't and introducing new songs... late.

Ghoul (FFVIIR) (double)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVuBd56uFE0

Divine Love (LR: FFXIII)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EIxRgKDdsI

And I am also auto-trading one time for each of
-Divine Love (LR: FFXIII)
-Ghoul (FFVIIR)

Putting together playlist of favs 1 and 2 noms to see who makes the cut.... already seeing some 0s debating whether it's worth pushing (eg Divine Love from LR) or let go. Will save that for tomorrow I guess.

I hope it ends with like, 87 songs tied at 3 noms and only 86 places so we have a one day tiebreaker Save My round to determine which one doesn't make the cut, lol.

Somnus (FFXV)

BlackDra90n posted...

Additionally, looking to trade for Somnus (FFXV).

Keeping it in the same-game family: would trade for Bros on the Road (FFXV)?

20-7

Nom:
Dove Cameron

bot where's TWISKA

GuessMyUserName posted...

somebody saw the uncensored sprites list

Nah it was FF8 Siren but gotta put her in FF6 for the debut (like Shiva for FF3 this year)

...no comment on the other one

ok I've posted my SMFFFC XXX nominees, now time to focus on the remaining song nominees.

Just putting the playlist of favs at 1 or 2 noms currently is going to be tough in itself... let alone abandoning any at 0 noms, can't go down that route.

Ideally we'll hit top of new page around when we hit the 24 hour/no more drops mark...

Unless Yunalesca is hardbooted against in SMFFFC XXIX we'll be fine

Alrighty, I've done a cursory analysis (even looking at the FF14 character wiki page!) and here's my highly cultured list of 25 nominees for entry to SMFFFC in 7 years. It assumes everyone who's already qualified for contest XXIV is still in the contest by then.

Maria (FF2)
Rosa (FF4)
Barbarricia (FF4)
Siren (FF6)
Scarlet (FF7)
Nayo (FF7R: INTERmission)
Lani (FF9)
Ruby (FF9)
Lion (FF11)
Fran (FF12)
Elza (FF12)
Lebreau (FF13)
Serah (FF13)
Jihl Nabaat (FF13)
Chocolina (FF13-2)
Lyse Hext (FF14)
Minfilia Warde (FF14)
Qhota Nbolo (FF14)
Cindy Aurum (FF15)
Aranea Highwind (FF15)
Belle (FFCC:TCB)
Bel Dat (FFCC:MLAADL)
Materia (Dissidia NT)
Meia (Mobius)
Lisa Pacifist (Final Fantasy: Unlimited on PC)

Missing the cut:

Melusine (FF5)
Alluring Rider (FF6) (also probably ineligible)
Elena (FF7)
Rosso the Crimson (DoC: FF7)
Julia Heartilly (FF8)
Ultimecia (FF8)
Yunalesca (FFX)
Dona (FFX)
Gentiana (FF15)

I welcome any challenges to my incredibly objective analysis.

...Yeah Nayo is probably the most replaceable but still!!

I didn't vote in the Hades one and I'm struggling here too. Wonderful games but this is Story ratings, not Overall ratings...

7

(probably overly-generous but damn)

(literally a 9 or 9.5/10 game)

Braska incoming

lmfao rikku

I literally loled at this

Seething Rikku disrespect from the Omnia devs

LiquidOshawott posted...

pitch me on some of these 1 nom tracks

Apocalypsis Noctis is an 11 on the 1-10 epic scale (and andy won't want to pressure anyone to nominate one of his songs since he's running this - so I will!)

Collapsed Expressway at 6, High Five at 0... hmm....

Re: tiebreaker, maybe there's some kind of "play-in" round(s), but maybe also some kind of consolidation tiebreaker opportunity for song variations? Like if 3 noms is looking like the auto-entry line and 2 noms are tiebreaker territory, and we have some songs that are 1-1 (or 1-1-1 across 3 different versions) for noms, that could be an opportunity to consolidate and at least get one version of that song in, or to a tiebreaker stage rather than all of them missing the cut?

Though that does make things more complicated but if "version control" is an issue by the end it's an opportunity to get things narrowed...

Anyways, planning to listen to a shit-ton of tracks on Saturday while working so that'll help make my final decisions but might as well make a few I'm sure of in the meantime:

Nova Chrysalia (LR: FFXIII)
Plains of Eternity (FFXIII-2)
The Price of Freedom (Crisis Core: FFVII)
The Airbuster (FFVIIR)
Bros on the Road (FFXV)

> peeing from butt
> liquid explosives

Leon bullied me into submission

the Hotstopper's revenge

A backup candidate would've had an interview already though.

If the "personalized" aspect is just your name, email and job you applied for then it's just a more advanced template response... with a more personal touch, is all?

More companies are trying to leave better impressions in the recruitment process imo, so this is one way to do that, even if you dont get the job (or an interview) you still feel good about them.

FFDragon posted...

How has the stamp song not gotten nommed yet?

Doesnt seem that way, but also your price of freedom nom hasn't made it either...

I think it's just "The Price of Freedom (Crisis Core)", as being the best version... if you nom it I'll also piggyback on that. It's a top 15 track for sure.

You can still post them lefty! I'll give you cover by posting my 25 nominee list for Year of (SMFFFC) XXX... when my vacation is over later this week. It's gonna have Belle and Bel Dat!

...open to any XIV character recos that should be included tbh

Andy: great start to your FF song contest btw, so many youtube vids are embedded that it's crashing the music app on my phone... not sure how they're connected (ram usage?) but I'm impressed! I remember wanting to run Best 7R Song but my plans never get off the ground but like you said, think this contest will cover the best from that game! (And XIV)

Split bracket by game imo

Also might nom some later in week when I'm back home but selection is looking pretty robust as is, geez!

Also I like the nom for Neo-Bodhum from Eddv (and maybe others?), there was a time in my life when that & Plains of Eternity were my go-to tracks that I listened to frequently... great songs but that ended up being a pretty bad time in my life so I cant listen to them without thinking of it, lol. But I will listen again for this contest!

Adding Barbariccia to the "Year of (SMFFFC) XXX" nomination list

....assuming we make it another 7 years

I remember wind waifu (windfu?) and Rubicante, yeah...

Blaziken posted...

Thinking Edge and Kain are the worst from FF4 is...rough.

Considering how Roba feels about Eiko I hesitate to ask where Palom and Porom are ranked...

Blogfaqs: currently on a train for my annual post-SMFFFC visiting my parents, internet keeps going down.... may be time to try for a nap

FFDragon posted...

Why Elena when we already have the superior chick in a suit?

I'm just assuming she's hard booted when I'm not participating tbh... maybe you and Koala can keep her afloat.

Of course my being here didn't help Elena either so who knows!

Elena
Redemption
Run

Also cant help but notice Yuffie is the preferred FF7 character for users who dont support that game generally, hmmm...

Yeah andy, 1 character! Who I was rooting for but never even saved outside of trades (though I was always ready to), not a whole "year" for a game that just won!

Bane is right, Year of VIvi locked in. Is the VI Ramza or a 2nd Locke finals loss... tbd!

Blogfaqs is great Roba... not being able to focus knowing a random disruption could occur, I get that feeling. Hopefully you can pick it up again once the construction wraps up.

Year of FFVI who's in

https://i.imgur.com/jYdTuIa.jpg

....ok maybe if 10 moogles are part of that 'year'!!!

lol, I was waiting for that

Great scene

I voted Celes without even thinking it through

....GMUN's influence on me, no doubt

Play FF7 ffs

Oh I forgot to ask you about Tactics and how that playthrough went, I know there were issues in the early going... did you stop entirely or is it an occasional endeavour (where IV is the main game at the moment)

Eiko is also ineligible, damn

except.... we shouldn't joke about that, reminds me of a meme I made

Ok listen to my iron-clad logic here, looking at the last 6 finals and what games the finalists are from:

9 vs. 6
7 vs. 8
13 vs. 4
13 vs. 4
8 vs. T
6 vs. 7

4, 6, 7, 8 and 13 each show up twice so cross each other out; that means 9 and T need to get into the finals again

Vivi > Ramza 100% guaranteed, locked-in, take it to the bank

....poor Ramza

Cyan redemption run I thought?

Really just get the 10 moogles in, that would be a win in itself!
