(+) Yeah! (+)

Oh I guess I need to figure out my order, all I know is it involves Garland, Chaos, and the Dunkmaster.

In fact, here are my priorities this year!

Y
R
P (in position)
Terra (probably who I'm backing next year, she needs to survive boots)
Eiko
Matoya

Leblanc into the garbage can, huh

Sephiroth - He was in something big last year, I forget what he does. Will this be the year he gets past his old nemesis, Cissnei?

....yes, he really should. It might be my 4th (and ideally final) year but first year he's top priority. Lightning was a redemption run, this is the penance run.

Plus once we're out of boots I'm no longer holding so probably going to be more terrible eliminations in the low 70s and 60s than usual! Ideally Cissnei even makes it out of boots.

I've still only racked up a singular person to watch FFCCTCBTM :(

but still thx martin

we need more for belle

Does it count if I watched TCB in a speedrun marathon, since it doesn't have skippable cutscenes or dialogue?

Zigzagoon posted...

Ah yes, the response of "This is my decision and I'm not willing to talk about it"

That one?

Well I didn't like that one so I wanted more :)

Be less shady next time. Also maybe pick something that isnt just a picture. Idk maybe bring this up prior to the last 12 hours of noms. Lots of options.

1. A bunch of us just noticed the contest at that time, we don't frequent b8 as much anymore.
2. Stamp isn't just a picture as described in many arguments in the other topic.
3. Look to 1.

Yes, and "a bunch of you" happened to all show up within a five-minute span.
---

Honestly I think they all play D+D together so that doesnt necessarily shock me if Ermine noticed it

---

wow, I just noticed something all these characters in this contest have in common. They all actually appear in the game, rather than just a depiction of them. go figure!

"Oh hey Final Fantasy Contest nominations are going"
"Oh really, I didn't even see. I might support Stamp then, I liked him a lot in the remake"
"Yeah, Stamp was pretty cool, etc etc"

Not word for word obviously but that's literally the gist of it. And then other people vote for him too because they were made aware of the contest.

If that's rallying, then I guess fuck me for saying that I like Stamp to anyone. Not my fault other people in voice want to join in and support him. And what's more, if that's rallying, like I said earlier, what people are already doing is much more in offense of that, and that gets away scot-free.

I didn't know that it was in the rules that the character needed to physically appear on screen to be viable. I guess I must have missed that one! Oopsie Daisy!

Huh the FF wiki actually has a page for unseen characters

https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Unseen_characters

Could we nominate Cid Fabool VIII or the goddess Etro?
---

We can nom Satan

*looks up speedruns*

... how the heck are they almost the same length as my movie which fastforwards gameplay!

I also use a NG+ playthrough with best equipment!

@HanOfTheNekos if you were going to try and frame me for rallying, you shouldn't have done it at 5 AM JST! Rookie mistake

---

Oh youre still in Japan? How is that treating you?

Thats definitely doctored, who uses Sepia?

---

ban han for using sepia

Very good! I wish they would cancel or postpone the Olympics though

Han, you couldn't post a screenshot before my timestamps updated, huh?

---

Hey, you rallied me and I wanted to see if Lefty actually cared about people breaking the rules.

Turns out, he doesn't care about rallying, even when proof is provided. He just didn't want to allow us to have our character that we like in.

---

I agree, Snow should be punished by not making the contest.

At least you care about the rules!

If Sepia isn't okay then what about Cotton Candy?

Cool, I know its probably tough especially if you have family outside Japan with whats going on. Traveling is gonna be awful for the future.

Anyway I just use Blue Default, I dont like GFaqs dark mode at all.

Purple on black ya go my ravens

Okay that actually makes me nauseous to look at

---

ban Han for slander imo

---

I'd rather ban GMUN for that monstrosity.

---

ban everyone except for me
---

Ban everyone except for people who have an account that has zoid in the name
---

ban everyone without FF in their username

FFD and I will come to a consensus on the winner
(it'll be Cissnei)

only allow saves with that mess styling on

It had literally never come up before so it was not a defined rule.

But now it has come up and the contest runner gave a ruling that they do need to actually appear as more than a picture. So that's a new rule.

Might well be one that gets debated and changed for next contest but that's the rule for now.

---

I do think Han's Snow nom should have been thrown out though.

Would that have kept him out?

He didn't make it in either way, I'm pretty sure.

He also appears in a song~

Sucking was enough to keep snow out

Appearing as a picture and in a song is more than half the characters in the contest do!

Hey this argument doesnt work for quite a few characters who make it in every year

0 is not half of 100

Well I don't know about all of you, but I'm actually pretty excited this contest is back up again (I know, I know, I should be horrified!). All the misery of the lategame last year is a distant memory, and I'm happy to have some fun saving some characters.

Also I know way more characters now (at a quick count I know 78/100), so there's more love to spread around! I'll try to get a couple of specific people and turtles through boots, but after that I'll probably be happy with any number of outcomes. (Cue Kitchen and Dark Nation getting to the final and me eating my words)

Anyway thoughts on the nominations

Balthier - yay hes back
Burmecian Soldier Dan [N] - good thesis character
Chaos [N] - it gives us the chance to save chaos, or boot chaos
Cindy Aurum - I dunno why she made it back honestly.
Doomtrain - back to take the souls of the savers, can pay it forward on this run
Ghido [N] - Probably gonna give Stiltzskin a good fight for top newcomer but well see
Guy [N] - he talks to beavers or squirrels, I cant remember which but thats a cool superpower
Hope Estheim - well they cant all be winners
Ignis Scientia - Actually really good but hell finish 92nd since hes from XV
Ktjn [N] - this is ktjn
Laguna Loire - Great choice
Matoya [N] - 3 years in the making, lets see what happens
Mira [N] - Poor GMUNs losing Layle.
Noctis Lucis Caelum - Not Paul Phoenix 0/10
Rinoa Heartilly - A superstrong run is gonna happen, cant wait for 43rd.
Rude - Bald people need more representation, good choice (also isnt he new)
Seifer Almasy - I cant wait for the 77th place, chickenwusses
Selphie Tilmitt - A good finalist opponent for Ramza
Sephiroth - He was in something big last year, I forget what he does. Will this be the year he gets past his old nemesis, Cissnei?
Shiva [N] - FFXs coolest summon, but its a summon so its cursed.
Stiltzkin [N] - Hyped to bring it out! Im gonna have a lot of fun with this run, thanks everybody
Strago Magus [N] - I feel like we only nommed him because hes the only VI apart from Gogo not in but Roba likes him so maybe hell sneak up to 87th
Tataru Taru [N] - A XIV character I dont really know so probably cool
Terra Branford - Would have been funny if she didnt make it, I dont hate her as much as others but eh, the orphans gotta make a living
Umaro - Yeti boy, Stifled has weird taste but I actually appreciate his odd noms
Wakka - Story Wakka sucks but Gameplay Wakka rules, weird split
Warrior of Light [N] - Ill just pretend its fighter and a good pick
Yuna - Possible finalist, possible disappointment, but we will find out

Also this is a great post and deserves more attention, I lol'd.
