This poll is now closed.
128 characters, 128 rounds (including a round to find third place).

Just to get this out of the way, there is EVERY possibility that any game involved in the poll will have spoilers posted in the replies. I'm going to ask that if you have to discuss a spoiler about a Final Fantasy game, mark it appropriately, using the spoiler box and calling out which game you're discussing. This applies no matter how old the game is, especially with the Pixel Remasters releasing and giving even more people an opportunity to play 1-6 for the first time.

Simple rules: Vote for the character you like the best and want to win. The winning character moves on to the next bracket, while the loser is exiled to the party bench, never to be used in combat again.

Round one-hundred-and-eighteen! Yuffie vs. Cid!
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/9/5/AABrRdAAEvH7.jpg

To fill out the roster, I included the full playable cast from 1-15 (excluding the MMOs), including 10-2 and 13-2. A few of the more prominent guest characters (that aren't also villains) made it in there. I also added the full (non-generic) playable cast from Tactics and Tactics Advance, and then filled in the rest of the bracket using main protagonists from various non-main-series titles such as Type-0, Stranger of Paradise, and The After Years. Seeding was based on the most recent popularity poll and any character that's on the bracket but wasn't listed received lower seeds based on chronological order of their original game's release.

Rounds last 24 hours, give or take, because when you're an adult things happen and you're not always around reliably to post the next round of a Final Fantasy tournament on a dying blue websight. If I know I'm going to be REALLY late posting the next round, I'll try to close the voting at 24 hours but leave the topic open for discussion until I'm able to post the next one. In the event of a tie, voting is extended until I check the topic again and see the tie has broken. If the tie refuses to break, we'll decide it with a never-controversial Lightning Round of votes. (no relation to the character)

Tough one, but Yuffie since she usually ends up on the team.

Impressionable young gamers like myself loved him because he was an edgy, cantankerous asshole who swore a lot. Apart from that, one of my favorite bits of the game is when he becomes party leader simply by virtue of being the guy that built the airship (no joke, that's the extent of Barret's rationale for nominating him), and he suddenly starts giving a shit about things.

This is another perk of him being party leader: his odd running posture paired with the shape of his chibi model makes it seem like he has an insane beer gut, lol.

He represents the "forgotten generation" of Japan in that he is a character who got left behind due to things entirely out of his control. You can see this in games like Yakuza 0 -> 1 where the glory days prior to America (and to an extent, Mitsubishi) screwed over the economy and caused a generation to be basically skipped over. In this way with FFVII's heavy anti-capitalist narrative and theming he is arguably the character who is most in tune with the game as a whole.

Great theme music

Party leader when Cloud and Tifa unavailable.

Yeah, I wouldn't say I'd personally pick either of them for top 8, but I'm glad to see Cid's winning this round. Yuffie's been the Queen of Unearned Victories in this tournament... she really had no business beating Wakka or Sazh, both of which are much better characters with actual great development as people over the course of their respective games.

Yuffie is cute, but is so "optional" that she feels like she has more character in Kingdom Hearts than her own game.

So Cid. Grumpy airship mechanics are fun. Just avoid them like the plague when you have just gotten back after deciding to fly the airship at above nominal power for 30 minutes straight while dodging between natural stone plateu-pillars without any concern for how much work they are going to need to do on the damn thing now thanks to you.
