Award Chocobo: Award Cactuar is on the beat, and he didn't have to do much questioning to get a story out of this little snippet we've been sent! Good job, Cactuar!

Yeah poor Cloud, accepting that award has gotta be kind of a downer.

</div></div>

Edward: And now, for the most significant award of the event, which rewards the greatest music of our worlds with boundless prestige~! It is the one...the only...Best Song!

Golbez: ... Now do you people understand why I bombed the stuffing out of his country?

Edward: The candidates:

The FFVI Opera House orchestra being playing Aerith's Theme.

Edward: *wipes away a tear* Such a poignant, moving theme! How could anyone fail to be inspired?

Golbez: Easy: By not being a wanker.

The orchestra change a page and Answers is played.

Golbez: Actually, this song isn't half bad. Brooding and melancholy, just the way I like it.

Edward: You would approve of any song that raises the suicide rate by a statistically significant margin wherever it is played.

The music then shifts to Battle on the Big Bridge.

Edward: A powerful, stirring anthem! With every note, it raises spirits and martial wrath! The perfect theme to play while shooting down the Red Wings!

Golbez: Yeah, that really worked out well for you, didn't it?

A piano solo kicks in for Eyes on Me.

Golbez: Complete rubbish. This is the kind of song that weak-willed fool Kain would like.

Edward: *sighing* Oh, Anna...

Suddenly, Liberi Fatali catches everyone's attention.

Edward: An upbeat, powerful theme. The Latin chanting gives it a certain...I don't know what...

Golbez: Incomprehensibility?

Melodies of Life is sung.

Golbez: If this song gets any more cloying I swear I will literally puke.

Edward: It is so...rich, so poignant...LIFE IS WONDERFUL!

Golbez: *vomits all over Edward*

The song One Winged Angel bursts into life.

Golbez: Bells, sparks, Italy, eat a bell, Batman pees

Edward: Sephiroth!

The orchestra switch over to Rose of May.

Golbez: Let me guess, Edward: Poignant, moving, and beautiful?

Edward: No, even I think this song sucks.

The sounds of Suteki Da Ne flow through the Opera House.

Edward: This sounds like a song I'd write: fraught with emotion, and well placed changes of tempo. I only wonder what the words mean?

Golbez: It's a recipe for General Tso's Chicken.

Terra'a Theme meets the ears of all in attendance.

Edward: OK, big reveal time: I actually did write this song, but my version was better. Why did Uematsu change it to piano instead of harp?

Golbez: Because the 16th century is over?

The orchestra finish off with You're Not Alone.

Golbez: This one is actually quite good. It's got enough energy to bomb a country to.

Edward: What, you mean there's actually a song you don't hate?

Golbez: I'll have to think on that. Come on, let's just announce this thing. And the winner is...

[Award Tonberry]

Sephiroth's moment with Aeris wasn't very impressive. I could've done that with my kitchen knife! *doink*!

I didn't vote for that song Faris, :monster:

[Pike]

Not gonna lie, even if that song is 2edgy4u it's still pretty great.

[LadyJuxtaposition]

Is it me, or is Cloud changing outfits quite often?

Well, ever since those "cross-dressing" days, Cloud is now fashionable! :D

[Psychotic]

I might do an article on OWA if you guys love it so much! My personal favourite version is the KH one, but the AC one isn't half bad either.

[Goldenboko]

Not gonna lie, I voted for One Winged Angel :monster:

Whatever - Squall Leonheart (click to hear Squall sing!) (http://vocaroo.com/i/s1WdxgeWbET5)

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll drink Cid's booze if I want

I'm free to call whatever I
Whatever I see fit
Shiva or Ifrit it's alright

Always seems to me
Life's real tough when you're working for SeeD
Come on now Selphie
Let's summon Doomtrain
And cause some pain
Buy a flail for yourself
It don't cost much

Free to cast whatever feels
Whatever feels nice
Poison or Ice it's alright

You're free to be wherever you
Wherever you please
With Irvine Kinneas if you want

It always seems to me
That I hate the Triple Triad Club Queen
How long's it gonna be
Before this god damn fool
Drops the random rule
Get a grip on yourself
Frustrating, much?

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll flirt with Xu if I want

Scar on my face
Adventures in space
End up in Jail
Watch Zell's hot dog fail
But you know what's fun?
A sword that's a gun!
Yeah I know it's a sword gun!
Oh I know it's a sword gun!

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll help PuPu if I want

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want

Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Yeah I know it's alright

Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Yeah I know it's alright

[DrAssenov]

Well damn, good job with the song! *listens to it twice*

[Formalhaut]

Please let this be the Golden Saucer...

[LadyJuxtaposition]

Again. Not Cid Highwind?!?!

I thought Cid was going to win too, but it seems that Barret is more angry since he swears more than the pilot. Also, he's gets angry when he fights with his hand-gun.

Laguna: Hey everyone! Reporting to you are the world travelers! Laguna and Stiltzkin! My journalism adventures have let me seen quite the sights!

Stilzkin: Indeed! Now we're on to Macalania.

Laguna: Finally a location that isn't a city!

Stiltzkin: I have the perfect picture for this!


http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060511134046/finalfantasy/images/d/de/Macalania.jpg

Yess!!! *fist pump* Ivalice rocks!

I voted for Spira personally :shobon: The way they built up a world - organisations, sport, religion, etc - was quite fantastic.

[Award Chocobo]

Award Chocobo: If you think this show is just about the people, you're wrong! In fact, just to prove the point, here's a couple of Shadow Creepers that were making their way down the red carpet earlier on...

</div></div>

Rydia: Teehee! Rydia here! I'm going to introduce all my friends from the Summon world to all of you before one of them is given a fantastic award. :jess: I'm so excited to this because I got to meet so many of these fine summons while in the summon world! Let me tell you, most of them are pretty nice monsters really! Assuming you can get over hideous apparences, which was pretty easy for me to do after traveling with Dark Knight Cecil! Time to introduce my buddies!


Alexander
http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-alexander.jpg
I may have not gotten to meet Alexander in my world, but holy poo does he look like a badass! A summon that is an entire Castle? Just... wow! Zemus would've been in for a surprise if I summoned that on him! I've heard that in some worlds, Alexander is even more powerful than Bahamut. That's crazy. His powerful signature move is Divine Judgement!


Anima
http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-anima.jpg
I sense much sadness from this one :whimper:. However, holy crap the scene in the Blitzball arena from Final Fantasy X? All those monsters just *poof* gone! Who didn't want this fearsome lady on their team? I bet most people start a pure use Anima strategy as soon as they got her! You know I'm almost questioning if my game's summons where underpowered after these two! Her signature move in the one game she was in was "Oblivion".


Bahamut
http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-bahamut.png
:love::love::love: Bahamut! Although Bahamut did not stay with us in the land of summons I'd hear about him all the time from Leviathan! He's super cool and has been in all the games since the first! Because he's the best and you all should've voted for him. :mad2: Sorry, suppose to be impartial! His awesome-tastic signature move is Mega-Flare!


Carbuncle
http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-carbuncle.gif
OH MY GOD. IT IS SO CUTE. I LOVE IT'S CHOICE OF COLORS. IT'S SO FLUFFY I COULD DIE. :love: HIS SIGNATURE MOVE IS FLUFFY. I MEAN. UH. RUBY LIGHT.


Doomtrain
http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-doomtrain.jpg
I'm going off the rails on a doom train! :sing: Although a bit weird looking, I've heard this guy was one of the most useful summons of all of Final Fantasy VIII!


Ifrit
http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-ifrit.png
I've had some experience summoning Ifrit! He's fire still kind of scares me... But he definitely is strong and intimidating! I can understand how he got some nominations! His signature move is Hellfire!


Odin
http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-odin.gif
Odin! He has a habit of testing a Summoner before joining him or her! He's definitely no push over. The power to instantly kill your foes though? Pretty darn cool if I do say so myself! His signature move is Zantetsuken!


Shiva
http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-shiva.jpg
Shiva is a sexy mama! Her signature move is Diamond Dust! Women gotta have their diamonds! :) She was recently declared summon of the month (http://home.eyesonff.com/general-final-fantasy/147217-summon-month-december-shiva.html) - we'll see if that gave her an edge going into the voting!

And now it's time to find out who won! The winner is...

</div></div>

Mog (XIII-2): Hi everyone, Mog here! I have been tasked with presenting the speech for Best Creature, which is a very important category indeed, kupo!

If there were no creatures to challenge our heroes, then there would be no game. Well there would be, but it would be boring. Take the time out of your day to thank a creature today, kupo!

Our contenders are as follows:

http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-behemoth.png

Behemoth! Looks like he has a case of the Mondays, kupo! Don't worry, I'm good friends with this one. We go out drinking sometimes. He does a great karaoke rendition of Dancing Queen. He just woke up on the wrong side of the bed for this picture, kupo!

http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-cactuar.png

Cactuar! You'd think he would get tired of doing that pose. You would think, but he doesn't, because he's stuck that way, kupo! No wonder he is cranky all the time. He does like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, however. We're pretty good buddies, kupo!

http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-chocobo.png

Chocobo! Who would have thought that a giant chicken would be so popular, kupo! Chocobo is a great guy. He will kick your kupo nuts in a game of Dance Dance Revolution, too. Don't tell him I said that... he's modest and it will really ruffle his feathers, kupo!

http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-malboro.png

Malboro! We're not even going to go into what this guy's favorite pasttime is. You wouldn't guess that he's actually a very sweet and sensitive fellow, though! I know he's really got his heart set on this award, so hopefully you can all pull through for him, kupo!

http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-moomba.jpg

Moomba! Me and this guy go a long ways back, kupo! You know, this guy has a surprisingly good sense of fashion. He likes giving fashion tips to the other creatures, which is impressive, seeing as most of them don't wear anything to begin with, kupo!

http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ffciddies/-tonberry.jpg

Tonberry! This fellow likes to pretend that he is the strong, silent type. But don't let that fool you, girls! He cried at the end of You've Got Mail. I try not to bring this up too often because I know he doesn't like it. Oh, and don't worry about the knife. He's watched Iron Chef one too many times, kupo!

Well, there you have it. All of these guys would be tickled pink to win this category, kupo! Of course, we all know that the best creature isn't up here, so let's see who you all picked for second best! The winner is...

[LadyJuxtaposition]

Not gonna lie, I voted for One Winged Angel :monster:

Same here! :D

[LadyJuxtaposition]

I might do an article on OWA if you guys love it so much! My personal favourite version is the KH one, but the AC one isn't half bad either.

Yes, do please do an article on it. I would love to hear your opinion. PS: Don't forget the ACC verison of the song! :D

Whatever - Squall Leonheart (click to hear Squall sing!) (http://vocaroo.com/i/s1WdxgeWbET5)

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll drink Cid's booze if I want

I'm free to call whatever I
Whatever I see fit
Shiva or Ifrit it's alright

Always seems to me
Life's real tough when you're working for SeeD
Come on now Selphie
Let's summon Doomtrain
And cause some pain
Buy a flail for yourself
It don't cost much

Free to cast whatever feels
Whatever feels nice
Poison or Ice it's alright

You're free to be wherever you
Wherever you please
With Irvine Kinneas if you want

It always seems to me
That I hate the Triple Triad Club Queen
How long's it gonna be
Before this god damn fool
Drops the random rule
Get a grip on yourself
Frustrating, much?

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll flirt with Xu if I want

Scar on my face
Adventures in space
End up in Jail
Watch Zell's hot dog fail
But you know what's fun?
A sword that's a gun!
Yeah I know it's a sword gun!
Oh I know it's a sword gun!

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll help PuPu if I want

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want

Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Yeah I know it's alright

Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Yeah I know it's alright



Somehow, I always knew Squall had a thing for music. Great performance Squall! :D

<div style="padding-top:345px; background:transparent url(images/ffciddies/-wbalthierfran.png) no-repeat 50% 10px; text-align:left;" />
</div></div>

Balthier: Welcome audience, and Balthier and Fran here will be presenting the Best NPC award. Now, the public who I meet are either attempting to lynch me and steal the cache of Galabados, which happens as often as Fran collapses through mist exhaustion...

Fran gives cold stare to Balthier.

Balthier: or they are worshipping me down at my feet. It is hardly surprising, the leading man often attracts all sections of the audience. But this award isn’t about me, unfortunately. It is about the props that make up the play.

Fran: What Balthier is trying to say is that the NPCs that make up each game are special and are crucial to us all. And I am not just saying that because I am effectively an NPC for virtually all of the game...

Balthier: Whatever you say Fran. Anyway, let us begin by discussing what is perhaps the most consistent of all of the NPCs we have here tonight. Gilgamesh has appeared since FFV and has been Bartz’s favourite ever since. Why is this? Let me cast you back to my own encounter with Gilgamesh. He appears on the bridge with the grace of Basch’s running stride and the rest of the battle creates a most humorous atmosphere. Couple that with his little sidekick here and you have the making of a NPC legend. Everyone needs a sidekick, right Fran?

Fran gives cold stare to Balthier.

Fran: Ultros is another candidate worth consideration. While I cannot fathom why anyone would want to cast a vote for this misogynist, Ultros does match Gilgamesh’s ability for haphazard cut scenes. The mist is perpetually pink around him. A clear sign of madness. Thankfully, Bugenhagen is a worthy candidate. His knowledge of Gaia rivals my ability to seemingly know everything about Ivalice. Bugenhagen resides in Cosmo Canyon, a mystical place that is secretive, much like the Eryut Villa--

Balthier is caught seducing Rinoa Heartilly in audience seating area.

Fran: Tsk! Balthier!

Balthier: Oh, Fran, you know the leading man is nothing without a leading lady right? Of course, you wouldn’t qualify. I need a strong heroine to better suit my sky pirating needs...

Fran, seething, storms off.

Balthier: As they say, if you can’t take the heat, get off the stage. Am I saying this right? Anyway, where was I? Ah, yes - Mukki is a weird fellow. I first met him in the Honeybee Inn; for business, I assure you. He is a great candidate because of the fine masculine looks he gives to the game, as I do to my own...

Wolf whistles from female audiences and ...Hope Estheim?

Balthier: Thank you, ladies. Moving on, the moogle is one NPC that is friendly in a non-sexual sense. While I admire my friend Mukki and the many adventures we experienced together, the moogle has always been the epitome of cute and for this very reason I hired Nono as my mechanic. While it is said Fran can handle a spanner, Nono has the smooth touch that only moogles know how. They have appeared in various forms throughout the series, and I look forward to them each time. They are the foil to my leading man, as they say.

Balthier squints hard

Balthier: Wait.. am I reading this right? Stay Away From the Summoner Lady? Why isn’t You're a Bad Man Girl on this list also? I expected better from you, Spira. Moving on to our last candidate, Cid Fabool IX is a strange case. He begins human, then a oglop, then a frog. I realise that Terra is multicultural, this world has more races than Ivalice, and we have an entire game based around those races. Again, I am astounded. This dashing sky pirate is at a loss to explain why he has been chosen to host this award... anyway...

In a hidden place in the ceiling, Irvine prepares a bullet...

Irvine, whispering: If I kill him, I shall obtain the cache of Galabados and the strahl all for myself...

Balthier: And so the winner of this blasted award goes t-

Fran: Watch out Balthier!

Fran rushes in, pushing Balthier aside and dodging the bullet. Irvine scurries back to his designated seat as quickly as possible, failing in his mission (again).

Balthier: Fran, my dear... you saved my life... I should never have doubted you as being some low-rate playable character. I am a changed leading man.

Fran: The mist grows hot. Let us finish, quickly, the audience is getting rowdy with the frequent interruptions...

Balthier & Fran: The award for Best NPC goes to....

Rinoa Heartilly: During the run of our adventures, we have faced some astounding villains, some scary, some sexy and some just plain creepy. I was even possessed by a monstrous villain, an evil sorceress set out to destroy time, and tear holes through the fabrics of reality itself. And that wasn’t the greatest experience of my life.

With that in mind, we can reflect on what facing these villains taught us, it taught us to stand up and fight for what we believed in. To fight for our world and our people, to fight for ourselves and to fight to protect those we love. It taught us to fight for love.

Through fighting these villains, we battled our own inner demons along the way and learnt things we never knew, and did things we never believed we could do.

Emperor Mateus attempted to reach World Domination, and would do whatever it took, including using demonic forces to succeed in his attempts.

Kefka Palazzo was the maniacal clown that gave us all nightmares with his Magitek destruction!

Kuja was the Genome intent of harnessing all of the power of the mighty Eidolons to wreak his revenge on those that created him.

Rufus Shinra and the Shinra Corp were the force behind destroying Gaia and it’s lifestream, terrorists and corporate evil at it’s finest.

Sephiroth, a villain with some serious strength and evilness. He killed Aeris in the Temple of the Ancients, and showed us all what true evil looked like with those mako filled eyes.

Seymour Guado had greed, and wished to become Sin, destroyer of Spira. He wanted power and tormented the young heroine, Yuna, to try and attain it!

Sin, created by Yu Yevon it was a destroyer and curse on the world of Spira until it was finally destroyed by Yuna and her Guardians at last, freeing Spira.

All of our villains are worthy of the title, they are all misunderstood, and perhaps had things been different, they’d have been the heroes.

And afterall, there is no story without the two halves; good and evil. There is no battle, and there is no path.

So, without further ado, I’d like to announce the winner...

And the winner of “Best Villain” is...

[Formalhaut]

HAS to be Kefka.

</div></div>

Sazh Katzroy: Well, hey everyone. Looks like me and my little pal are here to announce the winner of a Highwind Award!

Dahj Katzroy: Why is it called a Highwind Award, Dad?

Sazh: Well, it's name after Cid Highwind, the guy who made this entire show happen.

Dahj: But why not call it a Ciddie?

Sazh: Oh, well, that's quite simple. This award isn't for a normal person like you and me - these awards are for the Gods.

Dahj: Do Gods need awards, Dad?

Sazh: Well... Well, nah, not really. They'll always go on doing their thing. But that doesn't mean that you can't give them a little praise every now and then, you know what I mean?

Dahj: Yeah, I guess so. Who wins!?

Sazh: *chuckles* Well, we'll get to that. We have to announce who's up for this award, first!

Dahj: Oh!

Sazh: Alright. Let's see if you can read the names.

Dahj: *looks at names* These names are really weird. Why do Gods have such weird names? They should be given sensible names like Cloud or Squall.

Sazh: I guess so, kiddo. Here, let me help you - the first nominee is Hiroyuki Ito. You can just call him Ito, it's nice and easy to remember!

Dahj: What does he do?

Sazh: Oh, Ito, he's one of the big daddy Gods. He tells the other Gods what they need to do, he tells them how he wants it done, and he designs entire lives and worlds.

Dahj: *shock* He designs lives!?

Sazh: Yeah!

Dahj: *awe* Wow!

Sazh: And next up is Masayoshi Soken. Now, Soken is a god of music. You know how when you walk around, there's almost always music playing? Almost like it fits your mood at the time?

Dahj: *nods* Yeah.

Sazh: Well, that's Soken's doing. He plays music for the entire world, all day long, all night long.

Dahj: What about when it's quiet? Sometimes it's quiet. Is he going to the toilet or something?

Sazh: Uh... Oh, look, it's Naoki Yoshida next! He's nicknamed Yoshi-P. He's a pretty new God, I have to say, just like Soken. But he's making a big impact. Yoshi-P finds worlds that are in trouble, and he makes them better. He basically does similar things to Ito, but he is known for doing it for already existing worlds. Sort of like a repair man!

Dahj: He should visit the World of Ruin, I think they need him.

Sazh: Ha! *laughs* Yeah, I guess so.

Dahj: *excited* Who else? Who else!?

Sazh: Ah, Nomura! Tetsuya Nomura. Now, Nomura, he does similar things to Ito - he tells the other Gods how things should be done. You know what, he's also been known for making people, too. You remember meeting Cloud and Red XIII earlier? I think you liked them. Well, Nomura created a lot of people in their world.

Dahj: Cool... I like Red XIII. He looked awesome. Monura did a good job on him.

Sazh: It's Nomura, son.

Dahj: Nomura...

Sazh: Yeah! That's it. Oh, hey, next up is Yoichi Wada. Well, he's the top dog at the moment. Wada's responsible for all the Gods. He's basically president of them! The big, big daddy!

Dahj: Sort of like you?

Sazh: You're a great kid, you know that?

Dahj: Mmmhmm. Hurry up, though, Dad... Everyone's watching us, it's kind of weird.

Sazh: Alright, alright, let's see... Ah, Yoshinori Kitase. Now, Kitase is the God of Gran Pulse and Cocoon, where we're from.

Dahj: Kitase is Maker!?

Sazh: Uhm... Yeah, you know what, maybe Kitase is Maker. I suppose that makese sense. We'll go with that for now.

Dahj: Just one more to go, Dad!

Sazh: Okay, let's see - oh, Amano! Amano is pretty old. I think he's been around since the beginning of time. Now, if you look around you, chances are you'll see a lot of his work. He creates people, he puts colour into the world. If you ever start looking around and thinking about how beautiful things are, you can thank Amano. He's pretty good at what he does!

Dahj: Yeah!

Sazh: Oh, hey, no more Gods left to tell you about for now...

Dahj: Aww. *pouts*

Sazh: Don't you worry, Dahj. There will be more of them talked about soon enough in the next award, which is for the old Gods who have retired.

Dahj: Yay! I love you, Dad, you're the best.

Sazh: I love you too, kiddo. Okay, now, let's see if you can remember how to read those names. I want you to say ""And the winner is"" and then read out the name you find in this envelope. Got it?

Dahj: Got it!

Sazh: On you go, then.

Dahj: And the winner is...

[Award Cactuar]

Those awful thieves! :argh: How dare they steal our Ciddies!

Hmm... I wonder what's in the chest we brought back! Any ideas...?

[The Man]

It's probably going to be Amano or Nomura.

[Futan]

It's probably going to be Amano or Nomura.

My guess is Amano~

[Formalhaut]

I loved the Sazh and Dajh speech! My favourite so far.

[The Man]

Honestly, though, Ito and Kitase have arguably done more to shape most of the games most people here love than anyone else on that list, so one of them arguably deserves it. But directors aren't nearly as visible as character designers, I guess.

Amano actually isn't even employed by SE actually. :x Just looked it up. Just does commissions for them. Fascinating, isn't it~?

This is almost certainly going to be Uematsu, and it probably won't even be close.

[Award Chocobo]

Josef: Haha! Hiya everyone! Josef here!

Minwu: Along with I, the White Wizard Minwu!

Ricard: And Ricard Highwind the Dragoon!

Scott: Scott, prince of Kashuan at your service!

Minwu: Together, we make up the second history of World II! Destined to defeat the last form of the Emperor!

Josef: Yeah, the horrifyingly dead party.

Scott: We are here to present the Highwind Award for most loved Former Square-Enix Staff!

Ricard: Yeah, our precious creators who decided what horrible ways we'd die.

Minwu: Quiet you, the fate chosen by the gods is a destiny we must accept.

Josef: Gods? They've retired!

Scott: Shush! That is quite enough out of you! And some of them still do things for us every now and then. First up for the award is Hironobu Sakaguchi.

Minwu: Hironobu Sakaguchi is the creator of all creators, he who brought the first Final Fantasy world into place, and brought together all the old Gods.

Josef: So none of us would've died without him being around.

Scott: Fool! We wouldn't have been created without him either.

Minwu: Next is Masato Kato, he set in stone the destiny of worlds like Gaia VII and Chrono Trigger World.

Ricard: I guess he isn't responsible for the creation of any of our misfortunes. I'll introduce the next, the great Nobuo Uematsu!

Minwu: Nobuo is responsible for the music of so many of the worlds! Most of them in fact!

Josef: He made the awesome world map music that always plays when I walk around? I guess I don't have anything wrong with that guy.

Scott: As the god of music I'd hope not! The next nominee is Ted Woolsey! He created languages and allowed them to be spoken between those of different language

Josef: The god of speech?

Ricard: Responsible for our horrible speech impediments?

Minwu: Enough of your disrespects! After that comes Tetsuya Takahashi! He who once designed and coloured our worlds.

Scott: That couldn't have been a very difficult job back in our era? I don't think I was made particularly unique.

Minwu: Scott!

Scott: Oh, sorry Minwu, I don't know what came over me!

Minwu: Lastly was Yasunori Mitsuda!Josef: No no! We forgot Yasumi Matsuno, he oversaw the first told histories of Ivalice!

Audience applauds.

Ricard: The crowd likes him and he's never caused problems in our world!

Minwu: Quiet you! Let us finish now with Yasunori Mitsuda. He created all non-musical sounds in World V!

Josef: I don't have any funny remarks for that.

Crickets chirp.

Ricard: And the winner for Most Loved Former God--

Scott: You mean best of the old folks ho--

Josef: AND THE WINNER IS!

Tetsuya Nomura? Really? Ewwwwwwwww.

Oh my god. If I was sick I would've drank this whole time. It would've been glorious.

[The Man]

Glad to see Uematsu won. I'm not sure I'd even have gotten into the series if not for its music.

Mitsuda's really great, too, but these are after all the Final Fantasy Ciddies, not the Square Enix Ciddies.

[Formalhaut]

Yes. Uematsu should be given a golden throne.

Her skills in battle is well known throughout the land as she is known as the "best swordsman in the continent", "the cold-blooded woman who silences even the crying infant", and "Beatrix who felled 100 men".

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/FarisSamurai4.gif: Beatrix, unfortunately, is never a permanent party member in Final Fantasy IX but her traits are what make her shine above the rest.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/Lenna-Knight2.gif: Celes Chere from the World of Balance/Ruin. How does she wear such heavy armor all the time?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/FarisKnight.gif: Takes a strong woman to do so. Celes is a powerful and proud woman. She is a genetically enhanced Magitek Knight so she is also able to cast spells.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/Lenna-Knight2.gif: She and Beatrix share similar qualities. Both are female generals, have some tough decisions to make in regards to where their loyalties lie, and are strong independent ladies. Makes me wonder who will come out on top.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/FarisMysticKnight4.gif: Lightning from Cocoon. Don't let her pink hair fool you, it doesn't mirror her personality at all.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/LennaMysticKnight2.gif: Not one bit. Lightning's qualities resemble those of a knight. She is protective, independent, and determined to follow through on her missions.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/FarisMysticKnight4.gif: Lightning is one of the two female main protagonists in the main Final Fantasy line. She is also the only one to be the lead in three games, which is well deserved.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/Lenna-Summoner2.gif: The lovely summoner without a horn Rydia from World IV.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/FarisSummoner4.gif: In my opinion, Rydia is one of the ladies who we see grow the most. She places her trust in the hands of men she witnessed destroy her home town, overcomes her fear of fire, literally ages about 10 years, and told Edward to stop being a sissy.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/Lenna-Summoner2.gif: Wise and beautiful, Rydia is an impressive young lady.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/FarisBlackMage4.gif: Another green haired lady... Terra Branford from World of Balance/Ruin

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/LennaBlackMage2.gif: Although FFVI wasn't meant to have a main character, the use of her as an icon and necessity to the plot has made her the first female main protagonist in the series.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/FarisBlackMage4.gif: Terra starts out without having and recollection of her origin which often leaves her confused of how to handle situations and emotions. Her drive to continue moving forward is what molded her into the assertive powerhouse that she is.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/LennaMonk2.gif: The lovely Tifa Lockhart from Gaia VII

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/FarisMonk1.gif: Although she is widely known for her assets, Tifa will likely pound your face into a cement if you even think of trying something!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/LennaMonk2.gif: Faris, that is not lady-like! Tifa has a very maternal and empathetic demeanor with deceptive physical strength. Her loyalty and determination to avenge her home town, friends, and family makes Tifa the incredible woman that she is.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/FarisRanger4.gif: Arr, I've just about had enough o' dress up! Our last nominee is lass Yuna from Spira

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/LennaRanger2.gif: ...Yuna is a sweet, loyal and honest lady. She is determined to follow in her father's footsteps and sacrifice herself to save the world from Sin.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/FarisRanger4.gif: Aye, aye. She's a fine brave beauty who be well deservin' o' this award. Now if ye don't mind, I'm goin' aft t' me ship and I never be lettin' you pick me outfit again. Aarrrr

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Ashley-pie/EoFF/Faris-Walk.gif

butthurt in 3... 2... 1...

[Formalhaut]

My first thought was surprise. But then, thinking about it, she's a worthy winner.

[The Man]

Well, that's a surprise. I haven't played FFXII so I can't say if this is actually a bad choice, but still, Terra > * :<

[The Man]

That's an understatement. For what it's worth, not a single person who posted predictions got that one right.

[Formalhaut]

I do see how unexpected it was, but come on. She overtook Vaan as main character and made a political drama somewhat interesting!

[Formalhaut]

Award Chocobo has unintentionally insulted all of the nominations. :p

[Award Chocobo]

Snow: Hey there everybody! Its your hero here, Snow! I’m also accompanied by my sister, Light!

Lightning: Its Lightning. Can we just get this over with?

Snow: Come on Sis, don’t be a party pooper! In fact, why don’t you try heading this speech? Come on, give it a try!

Lightning: No.

Snow: Take it.

Lightning: No.

Snow: Come on Lightning, take it.

Lightning: I’m about to show you how Lightning strikes if you don’t get that out of my face, Snow Villiers.

Snow: Real heroes never back down from danger!

Lightning: You’re the perfect one to give the speech, you know that?

Snow: Yeah, so?

Lightning: So give the damn speech!

Snow: We’re not gonna get anywhere if you don’t-

Lightning: Just give me the microphone...

Snow: Haha, thats the spirit! Here ya go sis!

Lightning: Hmph... arguing with you is like trying to fight a Sentinel...

Snow: Ladies and Gentlemen, Lightning Farron!

Lightning: Tonight we are here to present an award. The Best Hero award in particular. Now, I’m no hero, but-

Snow: Don’t lie to the audience! Everyone, Lightning is a Finalist in the Best Heroine category! She risked her life to save Cocoon, everyone! Lightning is a true hero! You could all learn something from her!

Lightning: I- uhh...

Snow: Look at that everyone! She’s blushing! I guess even the big, bad soldier has a vulnerable spot for flattery! Guess I sure did stagger her, am I right?

Lightning: Snow... Take this damn microphone. I need a minute.

Snow: Haha, I would too if MY face was burning that red!

Lightning: S-shut up!

Snow: Now... In case someone missed it, I’m Snow Villiers. I’m sure if I wasn’t giving this speech, I’d be the top nominee for the award, am I right? Anyways, what is a hero? I’d be willing to bet no one could give me a good answer. Well, to be honest, I don’t think I could give a good answer either. Someone who fights for good? Someone who protects the weak? Someone who fights against evil? All these things could signify a hero. Needless to say, heroes come in all shapes and forms. Sometimes they might even surprise you. I mean, Lightning is as mean as a snake, but a hero nonetheless.

Lightning: Watch it.

Snow: Kidding, kidding! As I said before, defining hero is a difficult task. I won’t try to do it, but instead, I’ll let you decide what a hero is. I can only think of a few things all heroes might have in common, and this is just a might.

Lightning: Oh no...

Snow: Real heroes never back down! Real heroes don’t need plans! They don’t ever lose a fight, they always win! The hero never dies! And most importantly, the hero always saves the day!

Lightning: Still the same old Snow...

Snow: Now, how about we read the winner of this award together sis?

Lightning: Yeah, lets finish this.

Snow: Ohh, but first we have to pick who we want to win!

Lightning: What?

Snow: Predictions, if you will! Come on, look at the list of nominees we’ve got, pick one!

Lightning: No, Snow. Lets just-

Snow: Come on, just pick! You don’t even hafta know who they are. Just pick the one that looks coolest or something!

Lightning: Ugh, you’re such a child. Fine. I pick... the one with the spiky hair.

Snow: Kinda resembles you, doesn’t he Light?

Lightning: What? Where did you get that?

Snow: I dunno, a bit of a heroes hunch.

Lightning: Hmph. Whatever. And your pick?

Snow: This guy, he definitely looks like a hero.

Lightning: Funny, his hair is a bit spiky too.

Snow: Yeah, he even has the same sword as your pick. Huh... look at the the similarities between those two.

Lightning: Yeah, I’ll give you that. They do look identical, to some extent.

Snow: Weird. Well, lets read the winner, shall we?

Lightning: Finally. So, who is it?

Snow: The Winner of the Best Hero award goes to...

[The Man]

I can't even remember who I voted for in this category :<

[LadyJuxtaposition]

Those awful thieves! :argh: How dare they steal our Ciddies!

Hmm... I wonder what's in the chest we brought back! Any ideas...?

Probably the best awards for the Square Enix co. employees. :)I don't know but I really want to open it! :excited:

ME TOO! Now, I'm anxious! :D

[LadyJuxtaposition]

This is almost certainly going to be Uematsu, and it probably won't even be close.

I have the same feeling.

That's a really good choice. I'm happy with it.

[Psychotic]

Cecil and Ashe, two characters from very different ends of the FF timelime. :)

[Agent Proto]

The person I voted for won. :D I think I predicted cloud though.

[Formalhaut]

I was really worried someone would go for Cloud or some other emotional wreck. Cecil is a true hero!

[Citizen Bleys]

Go Cecil! Another wise decision.

[LadyJuxtaposition]

Award Chocobo: Some characters seem to have been drinking for the full ten hours I've been doing this now. Wark! Here's hoping we don't get any trouble, as someone doesn't look very pleased in this picture!

Damn it, where's the Japanese when you need them? Just cook him and eat him. Apparently, it's very tasty.

[Ultros]

<Locke> Hey squidball! Don't you ever learn?They always said I was a slow learner...but I eat FAST!!

Cloud & Squall are beaten up.

Maybe Ultros is just doing this because Mr. Typhon has been viciously killed by Serah and Noel in the coliseum.

Mog: *jumps on a chocobo* CHARGE!!!

Mog runs over Steiner on the way to the curtains, trips over on the stairs, Mog flies through the curtains and then flies straight back again.

Heidegger: GYA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA-- AH!

Mog hits Heidegger right in the face.

Lightning: Back off, everyone. I'll handle this. This can be my sequel, as you all call it.

Snow: No, I'm going with you! Time to prove this Hero will never back down - and never be beaten!

Snow and Lightning are thoroughly beaten.

Garnet: Well, go on then.

Zidane: What, on my own!?

Garnet: You don't need me, apparently.

Zidane: *sigh* I'm sorry, I was stupid on the red carpet. I got excited with all the attention. I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you, I promise.

Garnet: What about Ultros?

Zidane: I'll take care of him later. Right now, I've gotta take care of you!

Garnet & Zidane skip off in a sickeningly cute way to eat a sundae or something, I guess.

Tidus: BLITZBALL! BLITZBALL! EVERYONE! HIT HIM WITH BLITZBALLS!

Freya: Time for me to do the world a favour!

Freya knocks Tidus out.

N'ghaaaaa! Look at all these chumps trying to take out Uncle Ulty! This hardly passes as sport at all!

[The Man]

Damn, it's looking like we're pretty screwed :<

[Ultros]

lol. Just found it on the Youtube link to Ultros music. XDAh, damn. I wish I had the graphic skills to do a trollface Ultros of my own, but whatever I came up with would be an unholy abomination that would disgrace His great name :<Oh, all right, Uncle Ulty REALLY wants you to paint his portrait!

Watch out Terra!

Mog: *jumps on a chocobo* CHARGE!!!

Mog runs over Steiner on the way to the curtains, trips over on the stairs, Mog flies through the curtains and then flies straight back again.

Heidegger: GYA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA-- AH!

Mog hits Heidegger right in the face.

Lightning: Back off, everyone. I'll handle this. This can be my sequel, as you all call it.

Snow: No, I'm going with you! Time to prove this Hero will never back down - and never be beaten!

Snow and Lightning are thoroughly beaten.

Garnet: Well, go on then.

Zidane: What, on my own!?

Garnet: You don't need me, apparently.

Zidane: *sigh* I'm sorry, I was stupid on the red carpet. I got excited with all the attention. I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you, I promise.

Garnet: What about Ultros?

Zidane: I'll take care of him later. Right now, I've gotta take care of you!

Garnet & Zidane skip off in a sickeningly cute way to eat a sundae or something, I guess.

Tidus: BLITZBALL! BLITZBALL! EVERYONE! HIT HIM WITH BLITZBALLS!

Freya: Time for me to do the world a favour!

Freya knocks Tidus out.

Freya: Well, that's my work done.

Shadow sips a drink at the bar... mysteriously.

Okay, I got an idea: All Final Fantasy characters should all at once, charge at Ultros and summoned their Limit Breaks or strongest attacks or powerful monsters or whatever their skills they have upon that octopus! :D

Damn, it's looking like we're pretty screwed :<

Yes. Also, how in the hell did he fit in that tiny chest anyway? He got in there somehow and it can be done again!

[Formalhaut]

So whoa whoa whoa. Ultros, the games squishy punching bag from VI and XIII-2 is now somehow defeating us? Ultros must have snuck in a hero drink from Fayth Scar.

[Award Chocobo]

Quina eats food at the buffet.

Cloud: Urgh... what hit me... oh, Ultros! Is he still here? He is!? Okay, Quina, come on! Together, we can save the Opera House! Let's do this for the Final Fantasy Multiverse!

Quina: Eating food.

Cloud: But... I'm influential!

Quina: I DO WHAT I WANT. YOU HAVE PROBLEM???

Cloud just gives up.

[Ultros]

Quickly done:

38445How can this be?... I...I'm nothing more than a stupid octopus!

It must be a TARDIS. Bigger on the inside.

Looks more like a Primeval Brew from Abyssea

Barret: God damn mother%"^£$ octopus! I HATE sealife! Eat lead!

Barret shoots at pretty much everything but the gigantic figure of Ultros.

Barret: !$^!&^! GOD DAMN !$^$£&^"$£&£" !"£%" piece of £^$%"£ how the hell can I have a !£"%"$ gun on my arm that fires that many bullets in one &%$% £$&{}@ attack and "£%$%^$£&^ MISS!?!?!?!

Selphie: C'mon, Mr. Wallace! This is all going to be okay! We'll get through this no matter what! ...Don't suppose you have a bazooka handy, huh?

Kefka: AHAHAHAHA, YES!!! USE A BAZOOKA!!!

Aeris: Probably not the best idea, we have to consider all the poor Ciddies Committee members Ultros is holding in his arms. We should save everyone!

Zack is too busy telling Guy his story to realise what is going on.

[Citizen Bleys]

Can anyone save us?

Ramuh can, belike.

[Ultros]

Barret: God damn mother%"^£$ octopus! I HATE sealife! Eat lead!Mwa-ha-ha! Look at the angry little man and his tin-pot arm! He couldn't shoot the breeze!

[Ultros]

Can anyone save us?

Ramuh can, belike.F'waaaaaaaaaa! Don't make Uncle Ulty laugh! That old crone can't get his staff up these days!
