Board 8 > Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XXII: Day 67 [smfffc]

(+) Yeah! (+)

on one hand I'm sad because layle vids are top notch

on the other hand, you weren't even all-in on him so it was bound to happen

---

really you guys picked agnes over layle to keep going as a sacrificial lamb

disappoint

---

---

I felt bad about it but it was a rough group of elims left and Agnes keeps surviving somehow.

---

the irony is I actually think if somewhat given a serious push Agnes could do better than Edea

---

I picked agnes because she's awesome.

I never want to save, but I'm in the bind of if I don't she definitely goes out and until today the eliminations instead of her have been amazing.

---

I finished watching the movie and I can't help but feel that's somehow connected to this...

But also the last two characters left alive being the two I already saved. Not great!

Sorry GMUN :(

well at least one person has watched the movie

that's a goal!

(plus, like I mentioned before I didn't at all expect a New Personal Best this year! still a nice way to enter stats with an always increasing trend line~)

---

damn I'm really sad I couldn't use the scene I prepared for an Agnes out

---

Can.... can we somehow shoehorn the greatest blackmail letter of all time into the final Laylevid, or keep that in pocket for next year

(that was my 2nd favourite scene tbh)

(favourite scene Blaze/Jegran, when the epic music kicks in, oh man)

who flew too close to the sun this time

---

I think I can only end Layle on a scene kinda close-by to your fav scene

---

Sorry @BetrayedTangy never saw the round. So glad it didnt end up costing Kain.

I'll be sure to save Kain first next time if you want to skip a Barret save to even it.

---

It's alright dude, I'm not that worried about it. I might miss a round at some point or something so I'm sure we'll even out regardless.

---

I want to watch FFCCTCBTM so badly

but I also want to play it on stream unspoiled

choices...

I think this will be the most interesting stats to look at, if only to see what a single focus could lead to

Cool. Thanks for understanding

34. Layle

CXIX - 42/100
CXX - 37/100
CXXI - 36/100
CXXII - 34/100

overall STATS: 63.75% / up 1.08% - 23rd/126 (debut)
newSTATS: 63.75% / up 1.08% - 24th/105 (debut)
---

Respectable debut for a character mostly carried by one user

Here's the list of characters that have done better than Layle every year since he came out, for what it's worth

Lightning
Squall
Barret
Cecil
Yuffie
Seymour
Ramza

so a pretty small list!

---

The Significant Seven

---

all the others are pretty expected, but I didn't realize Barret was doing so well lately
---

The one offs (correct me if I'm wrong here)
Kefka (Would have gotten it if not for the hard boot on XVIII most likely)
Minwu
Vanille
Tidus
Rikku
Vivi
Cid Highwind
Edea
Agnes
Vincent
Gilgamesh
Red Mage
Garnet

He's very quietly done well, but it's just that he has two mains (canadian and maniac) that trade for him and then gets some additional support once characters that are similar in personality start to fall

---

phew at least I don't have to keep spending so much time each day on these

https://i.imgur.com/5aecIHg.mp4

... yes Layle gets his face plastered over himself this time since it's his ded vid

also aww yeah realizing Amidatelion is voiced by Cammy / Winry / Xenoblade Elma / Yakumo Tsukamoto.... actually I really wanna rewatch School Rumble

*cough*

I mean, go watch FFCC:TCB-TM today to celebrate Layle's STATS debut in the Top 25~

---

Man, I feel bad about killing him. At least there's no pressure on you to make the videos now (though you could still post some tbh), and he went out on a high.

It's the burden of a sniper.

You try to act all cool, joke around, but you just can't handle the pressure...

Your save... the elimination... you'll go down in history. You'd change the history of XXII... of SMFFFC! It's all too much...

(but for real, you made the right save. Though my early "Top 5 Kain" prediction is now up to two near-elims, hrm...)

btw I forgot when talking about the game, how some minigames aren't so great I pointed out a particular one half-way that sucks on replays although mainly on attempting the time attack Gold

I forgot that is not in fact the worst one, the actual worst minigame is complete trash straight from the first time you play it, like you don't even really do much, there's a limit to your actions and then it's basically a matter of waiting and watch things play out slowly, going around in circles until it's done

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdekUfv_X68

I won't post the actual minigame since it's spoilery as fuck but this song plays throughout and it absolutely drives you completely insane

so if anyone is wants to play the game rather than watch the movie (some have hinted desires to play over watch which I'm all in favour) I'm just giving you a heads up if you hear this music you won't be happy (I guess advice... take your time throwing things, and you do have to keep pulling down the pulley as it keeps resetting after a while so if you don't pull it back down you'll basically be waiting forever)

... not that I really think anyone's actually gonna get around to playing it especially now that Layle's gonna slip back to irrelevance for a year

---

I feel like you keep trying to talk people out of playing the game, GMUN.

lol that quote works so well, it would only be better if somebody tries to snipe Edea Lee and fails. Kain wouldn't have been in danger if the trade was fulfilled but it def looks like Cecil will outlast him as the final IV character, but I've learned that I know nothing about this and anyone can fall at any time.

---

noooooo

Martin just had me going through the OST and that track came up and all the horror came back to me. I'm happy for anyone willing to play the game but I gotta keep expectations in check ya gotta be tolerant to some misses and that part really is the biggest by far.

---

I see. Though Final Fantasy is no stranger to terrible minigames, I guess motion controls would only make them worse.

Captain and I can typically get him through the 4 saves part no problem and usually to 6 saves before it gets rough. Problem is he doesnt pick up much support as things go on so he has a ceiling.

That's why every year people start talking about how strong he is and how far he will make it based on having two people maining him and then they are always wrong when his support doesnt keep growing.

my first year, contest XII, it was down to 3 left. Tifa, Zidane and Beatrix. the next save is "Trix." i see a capital T, i see an i, i see four letters. of course i thought the save was for Tifa. there's no time to think when sniping, i save Zidane.

Tifa's gone. Zidane goes on to win the contest, a contest where Ashe, Tidus, Laguna and Seph all made the top 8. i like Zidane and all, but it would have been amazing if one of those others won. now, Rydia was third, so most likely what i did was save it from being won by her, but you never know...

---

But if Rydia wins there that also opens up an entire other contest!

---

and there he is, Mr Trix himself! yeah i thought about that, and funnily enough, Zidane got third in the contest Rydia won, so they probably just swap places <_<

---

All I can say is thank God Zidane won before Tidus did. >_>

Well that makes me feel a little better about saving the wrong Cid that one time, but damn... that is a rough one.

Poor Tifa... when will she see her time in the sun again!
(other than that one time)
(also I wish I was around in XIX, damn)
(or did a better job helping you with her in XX or XXI)
(Really she is just so great in the remake, that's what it took!!)

the year Kefka was hard-booted, Leon and I had a Tifa-Squall-Laguna alliance. that was XIX i guess? we kept all 3 alive way longer than we should have been able to tbqh. actually i think ecksgem was prioritizing those 3 as well that year, but that was still probably only about half the saves needed by the end.

There's no round today moonroof. It's the customary day 68 break.
---

@Steiner @steinershocker

Day 68 is today and there is the link to vote

is that a ban

---

Its not. He thought today was not a voting day, a break.

Thanks moonroof. It's really weird that lefty would skip the customary day 68 break, which he has done pretty much every year. Luckily you spotted the topic so quickly!
