A lot of "lets get FF7's trophy taken away finally" went into that last topic. OWA still made Runner up, but it was pretty far behind Dancing Mad. Honestly...well deserved. Dancing Mad, and especially The Black Mages version is God-tier. My only sadness was seeing everyone disregard the remaining songs because of whatever rivalry was created between these two major songs, myself included.

The Extreme is underrated.

There are only win poses I believe in 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, Crisis Core, and 13 series. I guess 14 counts if you inlcude that little "yes" after beating a dungeon boss. I doubt that will be nominated though.

I only have two nominations:

FF8 - Squall.

FF12 - Fran with Bow. Not that Fran is great with bows (ironic, I know), but the whole "arrow in mouth" thing is pretty cool.

Lulu / FFX, because ZOMGTITTIES combined with "holy shit, my back hurts"

Cloud, I guess, with the sword twirling and whatnot...

Cloud (FF VII) - sorry, but effortlessly helicoptering a bigass sword the way he does deserves its due praise, no matter how implausible or how much of a 'normie' choice it may be.

Rikku (FF X)

After the beginning, I've only used Crossbows with her, though I should try Katanas (Time Battlemage / Bushi).

Time Battlemage is fun.

EDIT: I didn't know that FF14 had those victory poses. Awesome!

Cloud or Tifa will win this one. Just depends on the power of boobs.

Here are my votes:

Cloud - FF7
Cid - FF4
Edge - FF4

Clouds is just classic. Cids is a giant grin. And Edge... Ive never known what the hell Edge is actually doing. But I dig it.

My only sadness was seeing everyone disregard the remaining songs because of whatever rivalry was created between these two major songs, myself included.

I dont think people voted for those songs in an effort to make it a FF6 vs FF7 thing. They simply are by far the two most popular final boss themes. A 17-minute masterpiece vs the theme of arguably the most popular FF villain, which has appeared in spinoff games like Kingdom Hearts.

Yes. They 100% count. I love that video and did not know I could do that.

Might see the daggers one here in a few just to check it out (playing ninja)

What brought this question up? I didnt even see Zack mentioned previously in this topic. But as far as Zack goes... I dont really like or dislike him. Hes just sorta there. Crisis Core was fun, but I didnt come way from it with any new respect for Zack after playing it.

You see, that was honestly my favorite part of the entire game. His Dying moments. Shit put me in tears and made me respect him far more than the original zack which we had very literal personal attachment to in FF7.

Spinning and doing jumping jacks in ff6

Generic sprite jumping jacks from classic games definitely deserves to be on the list.

The Vaan sword one was pretty good. I've only just seen it on this topic, because I guess I never had him with swords.

Also, we need to do best/worst character design. Because there's a lot of weird stuff out there, from too many belts and the designer clearly needing to go to horny jail and everything in between.
