Considering GFaqs has a < 5% Asian demographic, I don't understand why you're so uppity that we use the names we know.

And after spending 45 minutes (which is 45 minutes too many tbqh) on l-faqs, of the Zidane 10s I didn't recognize, I couldn't tie any of them to mnk except Slanted_Silver (who seemed to vote in that series beforehand anyway) and AntonSaysWhat (which is almost certainly mnk or someone he knows, just from browsing around).

And Silver has more incommon posts on B8 with Frisby than mnk, who actually did save Zidane this round.

there hasn't really been much rallying this contest honestly

just a lot of the people brought in last time actually staying around instead of vanishing like most rallied voters do


I hate to speak for them, but I would be very surprised if you could get anyone like FFD or Nex or Lopen to really believe that. Especially because those first two are trying to carry characters legitimately, and have been successful. It seems pretty obvious to me, I can't imagine they are oblivious to it. Although I do respect your decetive work highly, and think you usually know the truth about what is really going on.

when I wake up

which means the longer I spend on this the later it probably is tbqh

Because it's not OFFICIAL.

And I'm salty that everyone was calling that guy out a few months back for posting their names in romaji, which is the most legitimate form of all the FF characters' name.


"oh"

You're on of those.

North American name is the 'go-to' OFFICIAL name which pisses me off

can you please stop being dumb, if you have the ability to do so.

canadian: replace 'game' in gamefaqs with an L word that means someone who reads but doesn't post.

Sides, other minorities of this board should be able to vote using the names they're more comfortable with. Nevermind that you seem to hate the official Japanese names, but you should at least accept Nuages des Tenebres as a legitimate vote

going to tell you this right now, if you make this a crusade and starting making each save in a different language out of spite I will oppress and make an english save only rule

This isn't some white imperialist conspiracy. This isn't a crusade against other languages. This is the majority of the board knowing and using the names as listed in the first post (...of the other topic <_<) and easily recognizing them as such. If you aren't familiar with the english names after 80 days of this contest, I don't know what to tell you.

But you obviously know the english names. You've been saving just fine so far.

This is a legitimate question: Ti-da is so different from Tidus how? The first three letters are the same. If I had to guess any FF character after seeing Ti-da, I would go straight to Tidus.

If you're really confused despite typing English so well and with characters grouped by game (Aaron/A-ron->Auron is not a big jump in the least when you have the list narrowed down to major FF-- or more, FFX, characteers) I don't know what to tell you. I think you just want to make a statement and/or make poor attempts at drama more than this is an actual problem for you.

isn't it also less confusing given the characters are sorted by game? I mean, even if tidus confused you, it's not like you're going to mix it up with wakka or lulu or auron

If someone is calling you a 'weeaboo' they're probably worth ignoring. Just save in Japanese, if someone asks you to clarify do it, and if they give you a hard time about it just explain that to them and move on. Most people who save in this contest are reasonable people!

Well, it's only for this contest. You don't have to learn and memorize English names, just ones you don't know and want to save. If this were a Japanese site, with Japanese users, I would expect the same.

This, exactly.

I wouldn't be posting my saves in English, French, or German on a Japanese site.

This is why the whole thing is so stupid. But whatever.
