Yeah, the only thing that's really changed is the order in which FFX characters get eliminated now. FFX almost always gets at least one character booted because they have so many characters in this thing to begin with. It's hard to get all of them through boots.

although FFVI and FFVII alone make up a quarter of this contest and they're all still alive so whatever

They're also the two most popular FF games on Board 8 for what that's worth, followed by IX. Coincidence? I think not.

I feel confident on this board at least X could possibly beat 6, 7 or 9 as most popular/liked FF game. Like it would be pretty close I think

What, you mean overall on the board? It's FFVI-FFX. Even in this contest, FFIV only has four characters this year. Even with all these boots, VIII still has more.

Nope. In polls held exclusively on this board VI always wins unless it feels like being magnanimous and letting VII take the gold (kind of like Link with Cloud that one time). IX and X are the next tier down.

With all these FF8 deaths surely next year is Raijin's time to shine right to hard boots ya know

I would only consider Raijin if Seifer survives the hard AND soft boot rounds, and if Fujin was in the running to return.

COMPLETION!

I don't save exclusively FFVIII. I've been saving Tifa this year, too, and I usually have one non-VIII character that I push every year. I mostly try to mitigate the damage done during boots (not very successfully this year) because it sucks seeing a cast you really like get booted and barred from returning for a year. I mostly prioritize Squall once boots are done, and I guess I'll exclusively prioritize him this year because I don't really have a partner helping me with Tifa.

Although the situation would probably be even worse if I weren't trying to help VIII.

Finally, I was about to say this too. I like VI definitely more than XIII and I'd save Fang over the likes of Gau, Relm, Setzer or Edgar in a heartbeat.

over several years of saving in SMFFFC, simply "my own preference of character" becomes ... stale? idk. so much like i may not support the same character every year in the name of playing the game differently, this year i decided to play a game of supporting VII. Lead by Cloud and Sephiroth, but running all the way down.

it's going well but boy is VIII suffering for it

and I greatly appreciate it because it's saved me from the trouble of her being there at the end with the litany of FFVIII characters

but we haven't made any sort of deal so we're not exactly "partners"

And Squall will always be priority #1 for me. Even if he were to win, I'd still want him to win every year. Beyond that, I'm flexible because I like a lot of FF characters and there's a lot of them I'd like to see do well.

I could get behind backing Rinoa if needed. Squall I'm afraid not since I don't think I'm ready for yet another top 10 finish in a row for him. I doubt I'd do even for characters I genuinely back, like Rydia or Lulu, unless I tried to reach a certain milestone

Well, the milestone this year is that he'd be tied for the second longest top ten streak ever, so I'm not taking any long-term deal that doesn't benefit Squall, so yeah.
