| Topic | Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XXI: Final Results and Discussion |
| pjbasis 10/21/20 2:09:51 PM #259: | WOW Kinda hard to muster up the same excitement I had when I realized Squall was gonna win (Top 3), but LETS FUCKING GO MAN. I don't know why I felt particularly desperate for the win this year, but it just felt possible like it never felt before. Even the last time Squall got 4th, Steiner's win was already telegraphed and usually there was either some other dominating force, or Squall's support predictably petered out. Not that it couldn't have gone awry multiple times. There were multiple points where Squall was near the very bottom of the characters saved, and it was getting through that round that brought on the support necessary to keep going. It was crazy, but that drama made it terribly exciting too! th3l3fty posted... CXIV - 2/102 [lost to Zack, 308-270] Man I'm almost gonna miss chasing the title! Look at those stats! Marvelous. It's sad to think Squall won't see another top 10 for a good while, and likely never be in contention for a win again...! But I guess that's also fine? But who cares, because today, we are champions. @SockoressKnight Special shout out to my main man, second in command. As the only trader of Squall for like the entire half of the contest, it was a great boon when you jumped on board. Two people can take a character to top 20, and since we didn't pick up anyone until it was absolutely necessary, you were absolutely crucial. @Janus5k The one we needed to push for Top 10! Kain could not have gone out at a better time! If Kuja weren't already a champion he would probably be the next project for me. Alas! @swordz9 Gunbladers unite! I mean I never got to vote for Lightning myself because it would be too INAUTHENTIC of me, but I look forward to playing FFXIII someday and maybe hopefully liking her a lot! @Bane_Of_Despair I finally got you to go Squall! Finally! You and swordz represented that extra oomph Squall needed to get to Top 5 that never happened because of your annoyingly strong other preferences (Lightning, Vivi, *grumble*). But hey it finally happened woohoo! @andylt Dude love the enthusiasm, keep doing you, sorry if I came off too strong with the Tidus hate. I was stressed @DoomTheGyarados CHRIIIIIIIIIS. You tantalizingly considered Squall for support for years and then got to hop on the final 5 for a win. Lucky! In some strange way though knowing you were on roster was like some guarantee of victory. @GenesisSaga@v_charon You guys are married and such will be treated as a single individual. But this is mostly to Gen because I don't remember charon's involvement in CXIV. Righting wrongs indeed! Sometimes I wonder what kind of weird butterfly effect direction my life would have taken if Squall had won right then and there. Would I have continued to participate? Would Squall have been hardbooted next contest? It felt extra proper to see all these different "factions" come together again after 9 years! Even getting Leon to vote!? Couldn't have asked for a better way to end this. @ecksgem One of my most steadfast allies in this entire run. Though not a trader, savers like you are necessary in the first half to keep Squall afloat when I miss rounds or am late to stuff. Along with other people on this list and casual like blackdragon, and comm, and sometimes guys like xuxon, and like dante saved squall before for free but I'm not handing out bounty thank yous here! let's get quistis a deeper run sometime! uhhhh I think that's it for now --- ...
