While everyone is still here, I have a question. I won't be available all day Saturday, so the final needs to start on Friday... which means one of two things.

1. No more days off; break before the finals.
OR
2. One more day off; top 3 leads immediately into the finals.

Please make your preferences known!

Better dead than red.

Someone sell me on one of the last four characters, I want to keep saving but I barely have an opinion on any of them and I like this idea more than picking a number out of red mage's hat.
---

Koala, do you have another option for our trade?

1

I want a pre finals break for the sake of comics if Edward is still alive

Lightning because Swordz has been very, very good to Red Mage in the top 10, allowing me to overtax my save burden instead of following up with Lightning.

Aww, well the Deadly Alliance lasted longer than I ever couldve dreamed. I knew the odds of both making the finals were super low.

my preference is that I have no preference

thank you this has been my ted talk

Option 3, non-stop rounds until it's over.

Red Mage

In case of lawyering. Yes, I realize what it might mean. Let the chips fall as they may.

Otherwise? Good work, Team Edward. We continue.

Edward will literally never reach these heights again and is tantalizingly close to the 102nd to 2nd run he dreamed of

Lightning redemption project.

She wasn't my character last year, or near the top of my favourites, but I believe in justice. She would have and should have won last year but was eliminated due to a lawyering, a really bad lawyering. The unfairness of what went down really stuck with me; her winning this year would correct that grievous wrong.

Nobody "deserves" to win but this is about as close of a case of "deserves" as I can think of, and I still hope she can do it.

Depending how you feel about her I figure there's three buckets:

-If you like Lightning: great, welcome aboard

-If you're neutral or indifferent to Lightning: a save for Lightning is a save for justice, and redeeming what happened last year (for the character, and for swordz, her loyal backer who's had to put up with so much and who has also been in an alliance with Red Mage up to this point)

-If you hate Lightning: if she wins, swordz will abandon her to main Squall (implied in a previous post). There really isn't anyone else who'll pick up the mantle for her, so poor performances should be a regular occurrence. Your current displeasure at her win will be outweighed by a bounty of schadenfreude in future years... it would be worth it.

Edward: high quality comics
Auron: high quality stylish red outfit

you can't go wrong either way

Auron wears the most red out of any character left. Simple choice right? Also he's the most stylish.

Oh hey you fixed the rapey part good work
---

New record for Red Mage, which is always neat.

Always disappointing, even though I know I shouldn't be.

It's been a wild ride Red Mage, good luck in your future journeys.


---

everybody who made the top 10 is actually pretty alright so you should save your favorite final fantasy character remaining imo

Did Red Mage just beat Black Mage's peak?

I don't have STATS memorized like I used to
---

@Grimlyn lets move that trade to hour 1 and pray we get to do it the next day too.

Kefka's boss theme is so well crafted that it perfectly matches his character at the point. The first two acts mirror both his ruthlessness and impish nature. While the third shows his majestic ascension into godhood, but despite his holy appearance he's nothing more than a sadistic clown underneath. Shown through some outstanding organ music and his own theme darkly playing underneath it.

Some of it is kinda too on-the-nose

But the second half is straight fire
