Voted Hildi, then noticed that Gilgamesh is all FFs.

FF14 Gilgamesh would be runner-up to Hildi.

Tough call between Gilgamesh and Ultros, but I gotta stay loyal to my GOAT game and go with Uncle Ulty. He's just so damn silly and out-of-place; his presence is given absolutely zero explanation, and he has no motivation to keep hounding the party other than he's hungry, spiteful, and / or struggling with debt. He reminds me of a more innocent time when I would just accept such a deliberately goofy character as he was instead of nitpicking him to death.

I guess various Cids don't count for this because he had his own topic. Golbez is playable but I guess he's fine.

Greg is always cool though.

Is General Leo considered an NPC? He gets my vote.

But since he isn't listed, Gilgamesh.

"Playable" in the "pick actions and do stuff" sense? I don't recall that.

I had no idea he was playable. Golbez is officially banned from this list.

Okay hold up. Is Golbez ever controllable at all? If hes in a battle like Sephiroth, but you cannot control him, he's fair game. But if you can control him in any sense, he's out.

Golbez isn't controllable at all or even a party member in FFIV and literally no one cares about TAY so I think we can ignore everything that happened there.

Technically not I guess since his battles are scripted at the end.

In TAY, yeah he is controllable and usable

If TAY discredited Golbez, wouldn't Dissidia discredit Gilgamesh?

I personally have not been including Dissidia in the game list up to this point as it's a very different spinoff game that doesn't fall into the categories set thus far. That being said, Gilgamesh is fair game.

However seeing as TAY is still a somewhat mainland sequel title, Golbez I think should be out.

Although, it doesn't look like Golbez is going to win anyway, so it's fairly irrelevant, and he hasn't acquired many votes

I mean if we're being pedantic, Y'shtola is the playable character in a mandatory segment in FFXIV for a battle which means people couldn't even nominate her, so that's a rabbit hole we really shouldn't be going down.
