Former champions are the devil and I've never played VII, XIV, or T. Realistically if we get past the first five I would stop saving altogether except to prevent a repeat champion in the finals.

*Dont know them, but theyre still probably better than last place

Fine, a full list of personal favorites (placeholders for Emet and Edea based on word of mouth and mild descriptions), not saving priorities so dont snipe out Delita Martin

Delita
Cecil
Aeris
Squall
Barret
Kefka
Yuffie
Tidus
Emet
Celes
Dagger
Tifa
Seymour
Red XIII
Edea

I May change mind during the finals

Delita Hyral
Tidus
Barret Wallace
Kefka Palazzo
Tifa Lockhart
Emet-Selch???
Seymour
Celes Chere
Aerith Gainsborough
Edea
Red XIII
Yuffie
Cecil
Squall
Garnet

Emet-Selch isn't locked in there at all, but if the first five go out and he's still in, that's when I start looking at a bunch of Shadow Bringers stuff to see if he is cool (I suspect he is very cool.)

since i'm trawling my imgur for my Opera Omnia Squall caps, here's WoFF credits dances for characters that are still in

While I do like Aerith, if Garnet gets eliminated I won't make her my next priority
All 10s are from games I didn't play and I don't like Squall

i forget... why i did this

---

Well on second thought the only one that could bump is Squall, but thats cause I play a tiny bit of Triple Triad VIII every night before bed.

---

Still looking for H1 trade for Red XIII

Cecil won so long ago that literally even lefty wasn't even participating.

---

Is there even anyone who has been participating since the first contest?

---

Cecil is one of those guys that never goes away. Hes never been in the bottom half and almost always finishes like top 20 or so. Last thing we need is him repeating and still never going away imo

Hey Cecil got hard booted in GMUN's bot run contests once

That sure was a sight

---

that was the very first contest!

36. Cecil Harvey
37. Wakka
38. Tidus
39. Tellah
40. Yang Fang Leiden

he came back in the last contest to run (VI) and came 46th of 65, so he's been in a grand total of 2 bot contests

---

It was at that point that I thought the contest deserved a Amarant vs Edward final

---

and yet we got a Ramza win instead

---

We also got a Gilgamesh win that ended up a Laguna win

---

4 just did particularly dreadful in the bot contest -- over all 6 contest averages...

1. Final Fantasy VI: 68.92%
2. Final Fantasy VIII: 59.99%
3. Final Fantasy VII: 50.63%
4. Final Fantasy IX: 49.20%
5. Final Fantasy Tactics: 48.33%
6. Final Fantasy X: 46.13%
7. Final Fantasy V: 37.85%
8. Final Fantasy IV: 34.02%

*edit* I guess to be more equivalent, SMFFFC-1 I through VI is the more accurate comparison

1. Final Fantasy IX: 61.70%
2. Final Fantasy VI: 57.19%
3. Final Fantasy IV: 54.57%
4. Final Fantasy VIII: 51.13%
5. Final Fantasy VII: 48.87%
6. Final Fantasy X: 44.61%
7. Final Fantasy Tactics: 44.20%
8. Final Fantasy V: 37.70%

still, full SMFFFC through XXI

1. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: 63.75%
2. Final Fantasy IX: 60.91%
3. Bravely Default: Flying Fairy: 55.68%
4. Final Fantasy Record Keeper: 53.67%
5. Final Fantasy VII: 52.22%
6. Final Fantasy VI: 51.99%
7. Final Fantasy X: 51.83%
8. Final Fantasy XIII: 50.73%
9. Final Fantasy VIII: 49.79%

26. Final Fantasy XI: 27.61%
27. Vagrant Story: 19.50%
28. Final Fantasy Adventure: 9.00%

Layle is the strongest series huh

---

Squall being #2 so on so many lists means....something...


---

it means he's #1 newSTATS for a reason!

---

Aw yeahhhhh

---

this is the point where normally Squall would be #2 left for me but things have gone so well he's down to #6 this contest. he's like, 11th or 12th in the entire field for me.

---

---

I step away for a couple of hours and everything's blowing up. The power of peer pressure, huh...

Well thanks everybody (and those who PMed me too) and I just realized I have no way of knowing who hasn't posted/PMed yet but is actually following the directions, thank you too (if there's any of you out there)

Grimlyn posted...

i forget... why i did this

That's great, but more importantly: you posted an .mp4 that autoplays in Gamefaqs without needing to be clicked through....!

Did we ever figure out why some mp4s could embed and play normally like that and others had to be clicked through to watch in imgur?? I would love to figure out why as I have a few that are probably getting posted in the near future and the two I already tried doing didn't autoplay... not sure if it's because I crappily made them in the Windows Photos app or what, but in any case, that's not great!

as far as I can tell it's utterly random when it decides to work! I think gfycat might work better with mp4s though, that was just an old link so i just reposted and it worked...!

---

pffft gfycat, all the glory is in a successful embed!

Do you remember if the final Laylevid worked or not? I feel like it did but if it didn't then I don't think I've seen a successful embed since the off-day "wanted" poster one didn't work...

Yes, Poor Ramza.... he doesn't deserve to have her mother choose him over her.

Lulabelle seems to believe that Ramza is just as heartless as Amber, who has slept with everyone and treats everyone as beneath her.

Oh boy...

I almost fainted when she started making her plans for the palace and told Devon that she was not afraid to take over.

Even after seeing all she went through with Elisia, I wasn't expecting this.

Devon may be a little surprised at her reaction.

Lulabelle's luck seems to be better than that

---

only one way to find out

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

this was the final layle vid (wanted poster was the previous upload btw >__>)

---

Ramza even gets forgotten in his own prompt.

---

every year I see these lists and wonder why people think Cecil is a finals threat

1. Tidus

!!!

(I have followed the directions Martin!)

---

every year I see these lists and wonder why people think Cecil is a finals threat or why we don't take him seriously. We don't. he's been shit for most of his career. he's a good player in patches but doesn't do enough for a top team to look at him as a player. Just because a team wins doesn't make a player top level.

---

Ramza even gets forgotten in his own prompt. Who is Ramza? Is he really a paladin like his tag indicates? He seems rather too warm to be a paladin and makes it clear he was not a well man to start with, without naming a specific illness.

However, like the Godblaze, he has a strong connection to the Void and this would easily be the most conspicuous link in his philosophy.

Could the Void be the body of his deity?

Another confusing detail is that the runes in the Ultima Thule seem to read, He who binds himself to me will kill the hero.

---

okay moment of truth

I've taken the same video that wouldn't embed last time and uploaded it on 3 separate occasions

Will any embed and play properly... let's see

Edit: damn it. Either it's random and I failed 3 times or it's really some on the file-side that imgur doesn't like for whatever reason...

maybe it takes a while for imgur to treat them right, so posting the older versions might work
