Board 8 > Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XIX: Day 2 [smfffc]

(+) Yeah! (+)

I mean, if there weren't any brutal hard boots I'd consider this contest a disappointment
---

still not as bad as Beatrix

I was too focused on making sure Bahamut was safe though to worry about others (even though my save ended up not mattering lol)
---

So much Maechen hate

D:
---

Poor Jecht abandoned for trash

i feel like the fans of #JobberSquad should all band together

---

I actually played through FFX for the first time since last contest, so it's an annoying elimination
---

I like Baralai and Maechen more than most, probably, but Jecht's a top 15-20 FF character for me, so this was a rough boot.

But yeah, I have more characters I want to keep alive than I can possibly support, so there wasn't much I could've done!

Well... none of you complaining about Jecht's death saved him, so blame your own priorities, not niche things others happen to like or support. After what I did to help Char with Baralai last year I'm not gonna see him hard booted.

To me this would be different if they were in different games. Like if you like some random minor character like Xezat or something, I'm not saying if it comes down to Xezat and Jecht that you should go with Jecht.

FFX has this weird disproportionate amount of jobber squad fluff that no other game has.
---

Just saying... every year he's like this at not one of you decided to pick him up.

/shrug
---

i didnt even get a third hour of saves

sux
---

I didn't pick him up but I'm not some nut who loves FFX so much that I try to get 50 random characters from it with a combined total of 17 minutes of screentime in the game either.
---

Which is weird, because all I remember from FFX are the main crew, the daddies, and Seymour

I had the darndest time trying to remember the second and third stringers of the game
---

yeah but you're a nut who nominated minw--ho??????? so i mean
---

Phew, go GMUN.

Baralai isn't actually in FFX though tbh imo
---

He isn't?

Who's he then?
---

I mean, I like Jecht but I like Zell and Ignis more so I saved them over him
---

oh shit heres mzero with the PR

calm down the masses jimmy
---

He's the leader of New Yevon in FFX-2.

I know this pain.

I thought that was Gippal

*looks it up*

Ohh, wrong faction
---

Minwu's a cool dude if you like FF2.

It's actually funny because this was brought up last time

It's like, "yeah, I bet more people like Isaaru than Leon"

And it's like yeah, maybe. But if you ask FF2 fans to name characters they like and then FF10 fans to name characters they like, a lot more FF2 fans name Leon than FF10 fans name Isaaru. FF10 having 20x the fans here shouldn't matter all that much since they'll never get to him realistically unless he's their pet nomination-- think Leon (or Minwu) is still the stronger character overall.

after this round my power ranking

red mage > gaius > minwHOOO?? > ?????

stay tuned for more exciting jobber action

well we can always get Nooj in here next year

Richard is my favorite from FF2 I think. The Original Dragoon

All you do is cry.

The same people crying are the ones who probably think Ariana and CEO are hilarious.

Jecht dead. Wow. Really glad Isaaru, Maechen and Baralai were priorities.

This but with unironically

Ariana is not a joke entrant

CEO is and a damn good one

Wouldn't it be the other way around?

They're nomming characters who push the limits of what you can nom, why would they cry about jobbers advancing

Uhhh... uhhh

Well I thought it was okay I guess.

He's also a cool dude in Record Keeper

Then again so is Isaaru, kinda

YOUR AEONS AGAINST MINE who can tire of that for 12 events in a row
---

I invite anyone who is upset about FFX jobbers outliving major characters to toss a save to the main man Tidus in order to ensure that he doesn't meet this same fate :)
---

If anything Isaaru's a much bigger joke character than Ariana, with that in mind. The FFRK meme status is real
---

Yeah but Isaaru rarely appears in FFX events now. So meme is dead.

yeah Minwu was a bro. He gave you a magic canoe and stuff

Isaaru is a jerk who fights you after you saved him from Home
---

It's time.
---

Need to think about what Save 4 should be

Leaning Ignis or Agrias due to their struggles
---

Minwu also has a ****ing kickass card in Möbius

Too bad it's rare as all ****
---

Jecht's STATS weren't really good to begin with from what I remember, so this finish might not even hurt him too much. It'll just make it even harder for him to climb if and when he comes back.

he was in an event pretty recently... i think the one around the last set of celebration banners, with bosses from a bunch of different games? but yeah it had been quite a long time between that and the time before.

Jecht has struggled to perform well consistently in this contest. It took him a few years to get out of the bottom third, and even his two best performances are surrounded by mid-40s finishes. As such, his STATS hover near the middle. With this finish, Jecht drops from 52.82% to 48.20%. Unfortunately, there's a pretty big logjam around the 50% mark, so he drops 9 spots from 41st to 50th, just below fellow crazy dad, Dr. Cid.

This hard boot hurts him more in the New Era (post-Raytan) STATS because he hadn't had a bottom half finish in the previous five contests, and he got to reap the benefit of his top 10 and top 15 finishes as well. He takes a big tumble here from 70.17% to 58.81%, falling from 22nd to 35th, just ahead of Rinoa.

why do you always feel the need to bring my name up

i even defended you like twenty posts ago
---

It's not a knock on you personally dude, it's a comparison. Lopen never calls out Dante for saving things is the point.
---

Hey ariana has some cool songs

I like the remixed version of her song for FFBE
