Board 8 > Your First Thought 38: Weakest Final Fantasy character not in a contest yet

(+) Yeah! (+)

this might be one of the most open-ended ones i've ever done, i'd be shocked if there was a common consensus

start dropping suggestions for future topics, put them in spoilers though so we don't get people thinking too early, this is supposed to be kneejerk reactions.

these topics do not close when they are done so if you want to go argue over the results feel free to bump old topics and increase my brand recognition: https://bit.ly/YFTB8

The answer is probably someone from, like, Before Crisis or something.

---

If we're talking actual important characters and not random NPCs, just pick anyone from FFII.

Strago

Porom

That one person from the Spirits Within.
---

Ceodore Harvey

Mog

he'd almost certainly get joke votes so that's probably wrong

---

Nanaa Mihgo from FF11

Oh hey here might be the answer

Nora "Moms are tough" Estheim

A random piece of furniture from FFXI

Tellah

Queen Brahne

a chocobo

They gotta be weak but at the same time strong enough to actually BE in the contest

Whos from VI, VII, VIII, and X that hasn't made it

---

Who was that random character that Shonen_Bat got into SMFFFC last year? I pick them.

Lots of characters from VI and VIII. I'd wager Amarant would give most of them a run for their money.

Or maybe Penelo

We've had a chocobo in

I also thought of Mog

If this is the argument then the ten most likely in would be

Yuffie
Edgar
Red XIII
Cait Sith
Mog
Bahamut
Delita maybe (if rivalry doesnt count)
...Rufus?
...Wakka?
...Zell!?

Yeah I kinda reach for straws after the first six.

actually Steiner probably gets in before half this list

Tellah

*shrug*

I think I traded a bunch for Matoya that time, she didn't get in though =(

---

Although come to think of it with a decent sized board 8 rally you could literally get any character in.

We've seen it happen multiple times, so yeah.

---

Uhhh mine was just "the FF Crystal Chronicles dudes" who I think could sneak in if the remake came out during noms period so...

Lilty, I guess?

weakest is just impossibly low

Kimahri

Probably not the THE weakest, but he should be pretty low unless GameFAQs decides to have a "cool beastman factor".

---

I briefly read this as the opposite and thought Yuffie - welp.

---

Gogo

---

Guy from FF2. My mind went to permanent playable characters, otherwise obviously you could find some complete nobody NPCs who would do even worse.

---

my first thought was Kaim Argonar or whatever which is wrong on two levels

then I thought of Marche

Boko didn't do that badly. Mog would do better than Boko, for sure.

---

Cactuar was my first thought, but I am sure that is not true.

---

Palom

---

what (to the entire premise of this topic, not the post above mine)

Y'shtola

---

Hippaul

---

FuSoYa

---

Firion

---

Tyro

---

Cait Sith

Undoubtedly wrong but eh.

vaigali

what a fun variety of responses

i have no idea what i will put as the bolded answer

All of them
