I think the Amano art hurt the VI cast. But Celes being so low even within that crew is really odd.

I'll be honest, it just seems like a ton of recency bias and mascot factor, which is to be expected. The weirdest thing is the FF9 stans appear to have shown up for the middle ranks which you love to see!
XV also really getting the shaft because the characters were not the problem with that game! --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Galuf also looks like an Amano art victim now that I look at which one they chose for him
 Not a good one! Meanwhile Faris has probably one of the best Amano arts here, and Bartz got his Dissidia design. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Actually yeah, people were definitely horny. Tifa at #1 overall, Fran as the top FF12 character, Lulu at #13, and Rinoa at #21 are all a little sus.
Also: 23rd- Lightning 41st- Fang 54th- Vanille 60th- Serah 62nd- Sazh 66th- Snow 82nd- Noel 86th- Hope Not that FF13 has particularly good male characters, but that's pretty funny. Fang at #41? --- It's Reyn Time. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Not sure why you're calling out Rinoa. She doesn't exactly have a sexy design. If that applies to any FFVIII character, it's Quistis. Rinoa is not as hated as some B8ers would have you believe. She does well in these types of contests everywhere but here.
