Anyone who attempts to recruit me the day I lose my main legitimately will never receive my help ever again.

Nah its not a serious attempt at recruiting, do whatever you want.

I dont necessarily agree with the reasoning but getting 7th is a good feat so good job

So if my brain is working properly today, these are the top 6:

Galuf Halm Baldesion - Horrible game. Mediocre character

Kefka Palazzo - Fantastic game. Fantastic character. Stupid lookingbut his personality is just precious.

Aerith Gainsborough - A tad boring, but fantastic game and passable enough.

Freya Crescent - Awesome character from B8s most overrated FF.

Yuna - Good gamedecent enough character. Most of her appeal to me comes from stuff that the mods will punish and bully me for saying.

Agrias Oaks - Awesome game and awesome character.

I also notice that a ton of females went far. You devils you

Anyway, I wont hate any winner herebut if Kefka has never won yet that is just blasphemy.

In any event, this was really more of experiment for our group to just see how far we could get a character with zero value in the contest. It bodes well for when we throw our supposed behind someone else's main next year.

In any event, the only character left that I like at all is Kefka, but it's just not enough to stick around. So I guess I'll see you all next year! Maybe I'll finally get around to actually doing a ranking topic.

I really don't find this an interesting experiment - if a character has six mains (well okay five since she was Han's secondary after Stamp) then barring extreme incompetence of course they're going to go deep and their "value" otherwise is irrelevant.

The experiment was to see if six people who all work during round times and have generally busy schedules could manage to stretch this out as far as possible.

Fun is subjective. If it weren't, then you wouldn't bother saving in this because there is only one objective winner, which is of course the first SMFFFC's winner, Cecil.

And it got you all kinda invested in the contest and save mys in general, so in that case the goal is a success IMO. (I also didnt really think it was full spite, War saved Cecil for example)

I want to apologize for my first post, btw. I wanted to make it sound funny but looking back it definitely doesnt come across in that way.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as "no fun" - certainly I wouldn't do these if I didn't enjoy them and I mean I backed a funny-sounding robot boss for a couple years. Just did not care for this run for a few reasons, but ultimately that doesn't matter too much

OK it's the last statsless day of the contest (!). Time to look at finals!

Here's the finals success rate of every character who has been in one:

100%
Cecil
Lulu
Celes
Reno
Edgar
Balthier
Zell
Gilgamesh
Marche
Zack
Tidus
Steiner
Fang

66.6~%
Vivi

50%
Auron
Rydia
Squall
Cloud

33.3~%
Zidane
Kuja
Lightning

0%
Tifa
Terra
Sabin
Yuffie
Ashe
Kefka
Locke
Laguna
Cid P
Edward
Delita

Can Kefka jump up the rankings?

And here's the success rate of each game in a final:

100%
FF10- 3/3 (Auron lost to Lulu)
FF5- 1/1
FFTA- 1/1

50%
FF9- 5/10
FF7- 3/6
FF8- 2/4
FF13- 2/4
FF12- 1/2

40%
FF4- 2/5

33.3~%
FF6- 2/6

0%
FFT- 0/1

What can we conclude from this? Clearly, Agrias has zero shot and Galuf is a LOCK to win if he gets to the finals. Really though, I think it's interesting to look at. IX has both more wins and more losses than anyone else, IV and VI have done pretty poorly, and X has only been in 3 finals somehow but never lost! Of course, Yuna could lose to Aeris this year.

I will admit, the experiment worked for me to be interested slightly. Now, I haven't beaten any games left and played very few, hell, just to outright say it:
I didn't get to Krile in FF5 (idr where I stopped, I was probably shortly before that point) which of course doesn't matter for not knowing Galuf, but I remember jack all about Galuf tbqh.
I... well honestly have gotten to everything with Kefka except for his final dialogue before his final fight, but he will never be the most entertaining character in the game for me and frankly his dialogue is so memorable that remembering what he's gonna do every given scene makes it harder on the replay to get through his scenes.
Then there's Yuna, where probably few people remember my playthrough topic where I got absolutely bodied at a difficulty spike in the game, so yeah.

So who do I support? Well honestly, since I never saved my actual favorite character because I'm still spiteful about his finals loss, I may just join his supporter on someone who... well technically doesn't need the support but whatever. Granted, I'm probably going to get one save at most for the next 4 rounds so don't expect me in the flower field that much.

Someone else can confirm this, but...

Ktjn STATS

What did Ktjn manage this contest? Let's take a brief look.

Ktjn's performance here is the 4th highest-ranking for FFXII in SMFFFC history, putting her behind Champion Balthier, 2nd place Ashe, and 6th place Basch. However, Basch's 6th happened in a smaller SMFFFC, making Ktjn's 7th here the Bronze FFXII by percentage!

As has been said before, Ktjn has taken the reigns of top Viera from former holder Fran. This was my personal goal for her this year, so again a thank you for everyone who helped her accomplish this.

Ktjn's 7th place is the best finish for any FFXII entrant since Ashe finished runner-up all the way back in SMFFFC XII. It's been a long wait for XII to have a strong run, and Ktjn did it with a style all her own.

And lastly...play Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. It's a ton of fun, regardless of if you meet the lost and lonely Ktjn or not. It might still be on sale, even!
