Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ciddies - Winner's Ceremony!

[LadyJuxtaposition]

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!?!?!?!



I knew eventually Barret would get mad.

[Citizen Bleys]

Dude, Ramuh's a guy. Crones are girls.

[Faris]

Ultros, you should be ashamed of yourself. What would your mother think?!

[Award Chocobo]

Vincent: Hey, Cid, perhaps now is a good time to show you my knitting utensils. I have some really good ones over he--

Cid: Will everyone please just SHUT UP, SIT DOWN, AND LET ME DRINK MY GOD DAMN TEA.

Auron says things in a cool voice, but it has no impact on Ultros.

Garnet: *runs back in* Hey, Ultros! I got you a flower!

Garnet runs up in a cute way, drops off a flower, and runs back out again, leaving everyone kind of confused.

Vivi: Doesn't look like Ultros wants the flower. :( Poor Garnet. I will pick it up and give it back to her, and perhaps do something.

Something cute. I guess. I don't know.

Tifa and Balthier are too busy making a mockery of the Most Likely To Get Together result to be of use at the moment.

Aeris dies. Again.

[Agent Proto]

Ultros, you should be ashamed of yourself. What would your mother think?!

[Award Chocobo]

Conductor of Opera House Orchestra: Alright, boys, let's play a good battle song to get these heroes in the mood! Audio Visual, can you hear me? Help us set the mood!

They begin playing One Winged Angel, while images of battles taking place in Midgar and Ivalice start showing up on screens around the building.

[Award Chocobo]

Bahamut sips at his drink.

Bahamut: End of an Era, anyone? Let's face it, if I attack Ultros in here, the entire building and the surrounidng area are going down. Sorry guys, can't help ya.

Award Chocobo: WARK!!! Can someone, for the love of Uematsu and Nomura, please get me away from this stupid bloody purple eight legged freak! KWEH!!!

Gilgamesh: For once, I shall save the day! This can be my calling!

Gilgamesh hits Ultros and his sword breaks like a twig.

Gilgamesh: ...Bollocks.

[Laddy]

Someone! Do something!

[Award Chocobo]

Kefka: Best awards event EVER.

Ashe: Ugh. Soldiers of Dalmasca! TO ARMS!

Cecil: Soldiers of Baron! TO ARMS!

Roughly 10,000 soldiers somehow appear - and somehow fit - inside the Opera House.

Ashe & Cecil: CHAAAAAAAARGE!!!

[Ultros]

F'waaaaah ha ha! Did anyone feel the EoFF server spike then? I was just getting warmed off! Mwa ha ha! Let's see if Award Chocobo can shrug THIS off!

[Futan]

Someone! Do something!

He's almost there~ lol. Just Villain, Heroine and Hero left. :p

EDIT: Too slow. XD

[Faris]

F'waaaaah ha ha! Did anyone feel the EoFF server spike then? I was just getting warmed off! Mwa ha ha! Let's see if Award Chocobo can shrug THIS off!

You leave EoFF alone! :frust:

[Ultros]

N'ghaaa! This server is heavier than I thought! It'll take me five minutes to drop it! I hope they don't defeat me by then!

[Citizen Bleys]

Watch Ultros get punked by someone chintzy like Edward.

[LadyJuxtaposition]

260oetpb9mM

Well, at least the Ultros Boogie was a fun song to fight in! :D Enjoyed the video!

[Award Chocobo]

Auron: ...Really?

Balthier: One has to agree, this is all getting a little bit ridiculous.

Celes: Wow.

Cloud: ...

Lightning: That's impossible.

Quina: He do what he want... we have problem.

Terra: 10,000, right? Did anyone else estimate see that? TEN THOUSAND OF THEM.

Vivi: Hey guys, I gave Garnet her flower back, she was a little sad Ultros didn't want it, but she was still okay, she's such a lovely perso-- oh. Hey, uh, guys, do you see the approximately ten thousand or so bodies lying around the Opera House?

[Futan]

Balthier will save the day~

[LadyJuxtaposition]

Kefka: Best awards event EVER.

Ashe: Ugh. Soldiers of Dalmasca! TO ARMS!

Cecil: Soldiers of Baron! TO ARMS!

YAYS! At last! :D

[Ultros]

Watch Ultros get punked by someone chintzy like Edward.F'waaah! I'm not even going to lower myself and use the "S" word!

[Ultros]

F'waaaah! Ten thousand tasty morsels!

[Futan]

Ultros double-posted. Can't we ban him now or something?

Huh, what just happened? :O

[Ultros]

...doink?!

[The Man]

Huh, what just happened? :OI think the Tonberry might turn out to be our saviour.

[Faris]

How dare we forget Award Tonberry!

[Award Chocobo]

Award Chocobo: Kweh! Award Tonberry! My hero! Free at -- urgh, I have Ultros goo all over me. Blergh.

[Jiro]

Sup. Ultros, you better step off before your shit gets fucked up.

[LadyJuxtaposition]

Huh, what just happened? :OI think the Tonberry might turn out to be our saviour.

If that's the case, then yays! :D

[The Man]

Sup. Ultros, you better step off before your shit gets fucked up.Tonberries can do a lot of smurfing damage, to say the least.

[Jiro]

Disco Cactuar really needs to breakdance fight Ultros. He's so hot right now.

[Ultros]

Thwarted again! I feel like such a sucker. Well, kids, hate to ink and run...... but I AM an octopus!

[Citizen Bleys]

Sup. Ultros, you better step off before your trout gets smurfed up.Tonberries can do a lot of smurfing damage, to say the least.

You have no idea until you've seen a PLD99 get one-shotted by Everyone's Grudge from a level 60 nothing mob in the Temple of Uggalepih.

Tonberry and Award Chocobo: Best of Friends

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/dtjaaaamjsl/sc10/008.jpg

[Award Chocobo]

Award Chocobo: Oh, geez, what a mess. You guys did a great job of keeping Ultros busy while Award Tonberry made his way over to him! Great job, everyone!

Award Moogle: This might be a job for Phoenix, kupo...

Award Tonberry: Definitely. Man, I'm tired.

Phoenix does what Phoenix does best.

Award Chocobo: Alright, everyone, let's get this last award sorted! And, uh, then we can tidy up this place. Hoo boy.

[Citizen Bleys]

Phoenix does what Phoenix does best.

Accidentally sets things on fire?

[The Man]

Well that was a most fortuitous development.

[Laddy]

C'mon Terra, take it home! :excited:

[Futan]

Thought the best character was going to save the day. :x

[Jiro]

Tonberry is the best character.

[Award Chocobo]

[The Man]

Huzzah for Award Tonberry.

Now it's time for Terra to take home Best Character. If this does not happen, I'm going to be very smurfing unhappy. :colbert:

[Tigmafuzz]

This is the best event ever.

[Citizen Bleys]

This is the best event ever.

d'accord

[The Man]

Yeah, this has turned out way better than I could ever have hoped for it to and I hope something like this happens again.

[Faris]

Yeah, this has turned out way better than I could ever have hoped for it to and I hope something like this happens again.

Ditto. The amount of work put into this is astonishing. Well done to everyone who worked making this come to life. :love:

[DrAssenov]

Yeah, this has turned out way better than I could ever have hoped for it to and I hope something like this happens again.

Yeah! I hope this happens again! This is way too fun :D

[LadyJuxtaposition]

This is the best event ever.

I agree! I hope there will be another Ciddie event in the next five or ten years from now. :)

[LadyJuxtaposition]

Oh man, I am just having too much fun during this event! :D

[Futan]

What everyone else said~ XD

[Citizen Bleys]

It's not just the preparation, this was beautifully executed from start to finish, right down to the quick thinking to incorporate the server load spike into the story. This is a freaking masterpiece.

[kierandell1409]

FINALLY caught up. Holy shit, this is just awesome, and I'm glad to have been a part of making it.

[LadyJuxtaposition]

FINALLY caught up. Holy trout, this is just awesome, and I'm glad to have been a part of making it.

I am forever grateful of being part of this community two months ago! Best decision I ever made! :D

[Award Chocobo]

The lights turn dim and the Opera House Orchestra starts the famous Final Fantasy Fanfare.

A montage of all of the cut scenes from the main series begins playing. The audience turns weepy and emotional as their adventures are played out in style.

The music stops and large screens are revealed. The words “Best Character” are emblazoned on the screen and fire torches are lit to set the ambiance. Everyone goes quiet.

The Final Fantasy III theme starts playing as the four onion knights from the game walk out.

Onion Knight #1: Hello there! I hope you have all had a most wonderful evening. We have had entertainment from Yuna’s concert. A special duet by Amarant and Vincent. And can we please say a large round of applause for the Opera House orchestra and our Master of Ceremonies for the entire evening, who without him none of this could have been made possible; Award Chocobo!

Award Chocobo receives a standing ovation.

Onion Knight #2: And let's not forget his determined crew - a group of adventurers in their own right, they have certainly delivered on a mission of providing entertainment for the evening: Award Cactuar, Award Moogle and Award Tonberry!

Award Cactuar, Moogle & Tonberry all receive a standing ovation.

Onion Knight #3: We have wept. We have laughed. We have dodged for cover when an assassin targeted Balthier. We have all stood as one against a foe in Ultros. We have had an eventful evening that would rival any award ceremony but now the most eventful award has arrived. I am talking about best chara-

Unknown Voice: Whoa whoa whoa. Stop right there! You imposters!

Audience members gasp and mutter to each other. They turn to the mystery voice.

Unknown Voice: You call yourselves Onion Knights! Pathetic! You don’t even have names, do you? Now, I am sorry you four are so desperate for attention you would pose as us, but pose no longer. Move aside!

Onion Knight #4: I’m sorry lady, but we were here first.

Unknown Voice: Oh really? Why don’t I allow the audience to know our names? Step out boys!

The other three step out.

Refia: I am Refia, one of the light warriors from Final Fantasy III, and the Light of affection.

Luneth: I’m Luneth, Light of courage!

Arc: My name’s Arc and I am the Light of kindness.

Ingus: And I am Ingus, the Light of determination.

Refia: So then? Who are you four pixelated idiots?

Onion Knight #3: Why, were from the Original World III! We are the true Light Warriors!

Luneth: Out with the old, in with the new I say. Does the audience agree?

Audience cheers an enthusiastic yes.

Onion Knight #2: Bu-But... were the originals!!! Gah! Get off me!

Angels from FFVIII’s battle with Ultimecia carry them away.

Arc: So what makes a best character? This is a tricky question to answer. Is it bravery? Is it stage presence? A best character may not always be the main character but a main character may also be the best character. By reading my formulas, a main character can be seen to be the follo-

Ingus: Enough with the books Arc. Let’s get on with it eh? The first nominee is Vivi Ornitier. Now this boy starts off a meek, feeble and a wallflower and throughout the journey finds the inner strength, just like you Arc actually. Now Vivi is often touted as the shining star of the Legends of IX and also applauded by the Black Mage Association (BMA) for popularising the image of the black mage. Now is this enough for him to be best character? Who can say...

Refia: Now here is a video that might help you understand why he has been chosen...

Video plays of Vivi’s friends speaking favourably of Vivi. Vivi’s courage in battle is also displayed in in-battle video clips.

Refia: And next we have Quina Quen from the same tales of IX! This is definitely a wildcard showing but let’s not detract from her achievements. Quina’s frog drop move can effectively break the game making her a force to be reckoned with, and her efforts over the past week to provide the catering for this magnificent event is deliciously good! But can her lack of story hurt her chances? Eiko doesn’t think so, here’s Quina’s nomination story...

Video plays of Quina’s friends speaking favourably of Quina. Quina’s culinary skills are highlighted in depth.

Luneth: Also nominated is Terra Branford from The World of Balance/Ruin and being in arguely the greatest legend in Final Fantasy history must be a good thing right? Well, being the de facto main character in a game whose creators explicitly stated has no main characters is very helpful. And her magical skills are essential in battle. Here’s a video clip of her friends talking about her achievements...

Video plays of Terra’s friends speaking favourably of Terra. Terra’s esper friends also hope she wins Best Character. Terra blushes in the audience.

Arc: Now here is a lady who according to my calculations should never have been nominated. Lightning is the flagship character of System XIII, a controversial system according to the moogle commentators of magazine Mognet, a magazine devoted to ranking the Final Fantasy worlds. However, she has excelled herself and has been something of a celebrity in Final Fantasy, and her steely determination against her branding might be why she has been nominated tonight. Here is Serah Farron talking about what her sister means to her...

Video plays of Serah Farron talking about her sister. Emotions run high both on the video and among Lightning, who displays real emotion for the very first time.

Arc: But the next character should come as no surprise. Cloud Strife needs no fancy introductions from us. His story is epic, spanning across three whole discs and has been novelised, and expanded into the multiple historic tales of Gaia VII. He has been a real star among the pantheon I see before me and the Moomba bet makers are having him as favourite. Will they come true? Who can say, but let the video decide for you.

Video plays of Cloud Strife and his achievements, set against the orchestra music of Aerith’s theme.

Refia: Next up is a real hottie, it’s the one and only Balthier girls!

Female audience and Hope Estheim go crazy.

Refia: That’s right. I have no words to describe him. Balthier is perfection personified. Despite being lumbered with a cast full of duds, like Vaan or Fran, Balthier is still the character people remember from Ivalice. Want further proof? Here’s a sneak peak...

Video plays of Balthier’s best cut scenes, played to romantic music. The female audience and Hope Estheim swoon.

Refia: But next up is Celes Chere, who for many find her story from Magitek warrior to freedom fighter even more inspiring than Terra. Celes fights with the returners despite initial misgivings from her own party. However her blossoming romance with Locke Cole is also just another thread in the tale woven in the masterpiece of the World of Balance/Ruin's history. Not to mention, Celes’s theme is just so much better than Terra’s own!

Video plays of Celes’s friends speaking of their admiration of Celes, played to a orchestra version of Celes’s theme.

Ingus: But finally is Auron, the strongly spoken yet strangely mysterious bushido king of Final Fantasy. Who else is known to drive the story as Auron? He single handedly sent Tidus to Spira. He travelled with the guardians and led them to Yunalesca. His striking backstory gives Auron a well-rounded character, even after death, his strength of will is both admirable and inspiring, especially with me as the Light of determination. However, Auron cannot swim. This alone strikes me as odd given his manliness but then who am I to judge? Here’s your last video...

Video plays of Auron’s friends speaking of Auron’s manliness.

Luneth: And now. It is time. The golden envelope has been handed to me. Are you ready!?

Audience screams affirmatively.

All Four: Then lets begin!!

Drumroll plays, lights dim. Audience is quiet.

All Four: The winner of Best character is.....

[Laddy]

Go Terra! :excited:

[Futan]

Auron or Vivi :o

[Faris]

Watch, it'll be Tidus :colbert:

[The Man]

It's probably going to be Vivi. I'm surprisingly ok with this. I'd have been happier with Terra though.

Tidus isn't a nominee, thank gods.

[Jiro]

AT LEAST IT'S NOT CLOUD

[LadyJuxtaposition]

Wow, I am sitting on the edge of my seat (Cloud is still in, please let it be Cloud, please...)

Wait a minute, he lost. NOES! D:

[Jiro]

Watch, it'll be Tidus :colbert:

okay the lulz in this would be great

[Futan]

AT LEAST IT'S NOT CLOUD

Jarly. Thought it was going to be him for a second thar. :-/

And the winner is...
NOT Cloud Strife







NOES!!!!!!! D:

[The Man]

Cloud would've been such a clichéd choice. Thank gods eoff didn't go for it.

It wouldn't have been so terrible for him to be the winner if the Compilation didn't exist, but Square Enix really managed to ruin his character with the sequels.

Also congrats EoFF. You picked the second best character in the series as best character. That's not too disappointing.

[Jiro]

YES. VIVI!

[Laddy]

Could be better, but a deserving choice. Good job, EoFF. You are redeemed.

Congrats Vivi for being the best character of all Final Fantasy fandom! :D

[The Man]

Wait how is he supposed to hold the award if he's dead? We already went through this with Zack.I presume the Phoenix esper revived him when it brought those 10,000 other soldiers back to life, or something. I think the MST3K rule applies here.

Well, this has been fun and all, and a great event as well. But now, I need to go to bed. My excitement of seeing characters winning awards tired me out. Also, I got to work on other art related stuff tomorrow.

Good night everyone, and congrats to all the winners! Yays Cecil! :D

I really wanted Terra for Best Character, but I'll take Cecil as a consolation prize.

Wait that sounded wrong

[Lonely Paper Star]

Yay, Vivi! :D

Thanks to all yous~. :heart:

Question about the "Live Footage", assuming that's the 2D sprite stuff, how was that done? :x

[Tigmafuzz]

Bored EoFFers of the World

[Night Fury]

Glad the shenanigans went down well!!

As for Award Moogle, I think she fell asleep backstage, she was very very tired and has a prior engagement today! ;)

[Night Fury]

Also, a big thanks to Tifa's Boobs for voicing Serah, and to Bubba for singing as Squall!

[Red Mage Coffman]

I missed everything T.T Guess I'll just relish in the small, drunken afterparty with Quina...

[Del Murder]

I missed everything T.T Guess I'll just relish in the small, drunken afterparty with Quina...
That's the best part anyway.

Looks like this event was a huge success. Sorry I couldn't participate more (other than writing the speech I didn't even get credit for, Award BooB), but I'm glad to see all these newer members involved and I hope you guys all stick around and have fun. :)

[Memoire]

Hey there! Thanks to all who worked so hard!
But WAAAAIT!
There's still one last secret award remaining!
38451
"Best Organisation" because you put so much effort in this event! You talked to us DA-Members got us all the information we needed, you always updated the data, so we always knew what to do,..... and then you were awake for over 20 hours to lead this event into it's perfection! :D
(sry for strange English^^)

[Jiro]

Awwww look at that, Towns gets credit! All he did was give up his apartment to Award Chocobo but I guess.

[Psychotic]

Question about the "Live Footage", assuming that's the 2D sprite stuff, how was that done? :xRPG Maker XP. As a couple of asides on that, you could see the four thieves plotting backstage (I believe with the Cid interview) and then chilling at their table with a mountain of Ciddies later on. You also could see Ultros hiding in the chest during Squall's "Whatever" song too. On that, I want to thank Bubba for singing that (it's amazing to hear a song you wrote actually being sung so cheers!) and DrAssenov for doing the awesome Squall guitar art to go along with it.

The awesome FF RPG Maker XP sprites courtesy of Sithjester (http://untamed.wild-refuge.net/rpgxp.php) and Onizzuka (http://onizzuka.deviantart.com/).



And 100% agreed with Memoire. Good job Mr. Chocobo.

[Pike]

Aww, grats Towns!

Okay I just caught up on this after going to bed partway through. Great work everyone. This was definitely one of the best events I've seen on the forum and anyone who didn't participate MISSED OUT :colbert:

Awww, thankyou, Memoire - this means a lot to me. :<3:

I've had something like five hours of sleep now, but couldn't force myself to sleep in. I'll probably have a nap later or just go to bed early tonight! Sorry to Del Murder for missing you in the speeches, and sorry to the audio team (Lockharted, Tifa's Boobs, Goldenboko) for missing that area of the credits. You've all been added in!

I feel like I have a hangover. Urgh...

Congrats to all those who helped organise this awesome ciddies, best by far and we've had some pretty good ciddies before. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y179/Reaha/Smilies/thlildevilkao.gif

Go team Eoff! :kaocheer:

[Heath]

Excellent event, and one that I really enjoyed nominating, voting and predicting. The results were varied and quite a few surprises in there. Most of all, an excellent event as ever by BoB. :)

[Pike]

Some close ones in that tally. Love Uematsu's landslide though :p

[Faris]

Dang, look at those close calls and sweeps. :monocle:

[Fuzakeru]

:D That was awesome-tastical! :love:

[Agent Proto]

What an awesome event this was. Glad to be a part of it.

[Formalhaut]

Sorry I fell asleep just before best member! It was 4:00am in England, I just couldn't hold on. And boo for Balthier not winning. Nevermind.

What I'd like to know now is who wrote which award. They were enlightening and funny to no end!

[LadyJuxtaposition]

I really wanted Terra for Best Character, but I'll take Cecil as a consolation prize.

Wait that sounded wrong

I'm happy with Cecil winning the Best Hero award. I wish Terra had the Best Character too. We don't have much main female heros besides her and Lightning.

[LadyJuxtaposition]

Game over? I don't think so. There's always new life!



Yep, as this final fantasy ends, another one will begin. Dang, I sounded like Cosmos from Dissidia. :)

[Pike]

What I'd like to know now is who wrote which award. They were enlightening and funny to no end!

I wrote Best Creature (Mog) and Best Character Story (Fighter & Black Mage... the one with the pics)

[Formalhaut]

What I'd like to know now is who wrote which award. They were enlightening and funny to no end!

I wrote Best Creature (Mog) and Best Character Story (Fighter & Black Mage... the one with the pics)

I wrote Nicest Character (Kimahri), Cutest Male (Ashe & Penelo), Best NPC (Balthier & Fran) and finally a last minute speech of Best Member (III Heroes).

Seriously, I didn't have alot of time for Best member! I wrote it like 2 hours or so before the start!

[Faris]

I wrote Barret & Tifa (MLT Be Biggs Wedge. They got the wrong list of nominees sent to 'em!), Cid & Jecht (Weirdest Character), Rikku & Yuna & Paine (Sexiest Male), and Faris & Lenna (Best Heroine).

[Formalhaut]

Oh Faris you wrote Cid & Jecht! Hilarious. Good job in making Cid a rather believable homophobe.

[Goldenboko]

I wrote too many to think off the top of my head :exdee:

[The Man]

I'm going to be out for a lot of today (I have a date for starters) but I'll try to get the predictions tally done tonight or something if BoB or someone else doesn't get it done first.

Thanks to everyone involved in bringing this to life. It truly was a spectacular event.

[Faris]

Oh Faris you wrote Cid & Jecht! Hilarious. Good job in making Cid a rather believable homophobe.

Thank you :jess: I envisioned him as a very grumpy old bitter man.

I found it funny that the speech was the first of three references to "DRINK YER DAMN TEA" in a row for him.

[Goldenboko]

Ok so I wrote:

Highwind for Former Square Enix Employees
MLT Get Together
MLT Run over a snurble and spend the rest of their lives crying over it

[Award Tonberry]

Bye, bye everyone! I had a great time doinking that jerk Ultros! Better start walking home now... maybe I should call a cab?

[Laddy]

Terra is the new Sephex. :(

[Futan]

Here's a not-so-hastily done Ultrolls if anyone wants it for anything. :p

38456

[Night Fury]

I wrote Cutest Couple, Best Villain and wrote Best World, which Psychotic added a few tweaks to and made it into the live action strip.
I also wrote the intro and voiced Vanille and strung all the audio together, wrote a couple of the other skits too!

[Madonna]

Anyone and everyone who helped, you guys are awesome and deserve your own goddamn Best Tea statuette. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Citizen Bleys]

I wrote Dr. Shantotto (Evilest Member) specifically so I could use "What the smurfy-wurfy is this troutaru."

I also did Golbez & Edward on Best Song.

[Formalhaut]

I wrote Cutest Couple, Best Villain and wrote Best World, which Psychotic added a few tweaks to and made it into the live action strip.

I have to say, your Australian sounding accent was very convincing! Well done to the audio people!

[Griever Zero]

When do we find out who won the game prizes?

[Citizen Bleys]

I have to say, your Australian sounding accent was very convincing! Well done to the audio people!

I was sure the Squall song was done by a Brit since they lyrics had a definite British accent.

I guess some Canadian accents sound pretty British too, though, especially here in New Brunswick and over the border in Nova Scotia.

[Night Fury]

Hey there! Thanks to all who worked so hard!
But WAAAAIT!
There's still one last secret award remaining!
38451
"Best Organisation" because you put so much effort in this event! You talked to us DA-Members got us all the information we needed, you always updated the data, so we always knew what to do,..... and then you were awake for over 20 hours to lead this event into it's perfection! :D
(sry for strange English^^)
Awww, thankyou, Memoire - this means a lot to me. http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/heart.gif

I've had something like five hours of sleep now, but couldn't force myself to sleep in. I'll probably have a nap later or just go to bed early tonight! Sorry to Del Murder for missing you in the speeches, and sorry to the audio team (Lockharted, Tifa's Boobs, Goldenboko) for missing that area of the credits. You've all been added in!

I feel like I have a hangover. Urgh...


The Squall song was written by Psy, and sung by Ramisese Rububba the Third!



I have to say, your Australian sounding accent was very convincing! Well done to the audio people!

And thank you! :) I tried, but Vanille's accent is very.... unique >.>

[Citizen Bleys]

What? The credits said Goldenboko! I repped Gobo for that!

[Agent Proto]

Yeah, I don't remember hearing GoBo ever singing for us. :p

[Goldenboko]

Award Chocobo had a lot on his plate and screwed up, I'll edit the proper person into the post :p As for the rep, I'll just take it for writing 9 speeches :P

[Red Mage Coffman]

Best Dressed, Be Riding The Chocobo, Best Hero and The Adamantoise speech. Wrote those!

[Goldenboko]

The credit is le-fixed.

[Formalhaut]

This was actually my first time writing speeches, and boy was I surprised when Award Chocobo offered me the most prestigious Best Character speech with just two hours to go!

[Citizen Bleys]

[Loony BoB]

Ah, all I remember is someone saying that "Danny did it" and I just assumed Goldenboko. Silly me!

This article is now up on the frontsite. :p Not every day you see an article with over 900 comments on it, eh? ;)

Also, for an easy viewing session: Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ciddies - Results! (http://home.eyesonff.com/eoff-archived-awards/147301-final-fantasy-25th-anniversary-ciddies-results.html)

EDIT: Also, I wrote the following speeches...
29. Most Annoying Character - Celes, Locke, Terra & Rachel
28. Most Underrated Character - Bahamut & Louisoix (NOTE: This was mostly me copy/pasting from Beeblebabe's subtitles for Advent Children, which everyone should definitely check out.

Who wrote Quina's Sexiest Female speech? TOFU LOBSTER

[Citizen Bleys]

And with that post we just got 1 more post in this thread than in the regular Ciddies thread.

Deservedly at that. I was not expecting this thread to be so much fun XD

[Psychotic]

Who wrote Quina's Sexiest Female speech? TOFU LOBSTERThat one had all the hallmarks of the EoFFer that actually goes by the name of Quina.

[Hollycat]

This was an epic event, and I love all of you so much for doing it.

[Loony BoB]

Very few people picked up more than one Ciddie, by the way.

Vivi - Best Character, Nicest Character
Cloud - Most Influential Character, MLT Get Together
Kefka - Best Villain, Evilest Character
Garnet - Cutest Female, Cutest Couple
Auron - MLT Beat up an Adamantoise, Best Voice

...I think that's it... oh, and VII won three of the non-character awards in One Winged Angel (claimed by Sephiroth), Death of Aeris (claimed by Aeris) and Midgar (claimed by Rufus Shinra).

In total, counting characters to their most well known games (although some left as 'multiple')...

I-III: 0 :(
IV: 1 (Cecil)
V: 1 (Gilgamesh)
VI: 5 (2x Kefka, Shadow, Mog, Ultros)
VII: 12 (2x Cloud, Heidegger, Barret, Vincent, Aeris, Zack, Cid, Tifa, Aeris' Death, One Winged Angel, Midgar)
VIII: 4 (Squall, Biggs, Wedge, Selphie)
IX: 8 (2x Vivi, 2x Garnet, Steiner, Zidane, Freya, Quina)
X: 3 (2x Auron, Tidus)
XI: 0 :(
XII: 3 (Balthier, Ivalice, Ashe)
XIII: 3 (Lightning, Snow, Vanille)
XIV: 0 :(
N/A: 2 (Bahamut, Chocobo)
SE: 2 (Uematsu, Nomura)

[black orb]

>>> ooooooooooooohhhh!.. So this what Loony BoB was talking about.
Very nice, too bad I didnt have enough free time to be part of this..:luca:

[Tigmafuzz]

I feel like VI should have won more awards, but I'm still happy with it being in the top 3.

[The Man]

VI and IX should have been #1 and #2 respectively, but I guess them being in the top three isn't too bad.

[Jiro]

VI and IX should have been #1 and #2 respectively, but I guess them being in the top three isn't too bad.

Fanboys, I tell you what

[kierandell1409]

I wrote MLT Be Biggs (Wakka and Lulu) and Most Influential (Gabranth). Though, to be fair, AC wrote some of the latter too, since he felt it was a bit short.

[Freya]

I have to say, all the special art work was amazing!

[maybee]

Happy with everything expect Ashe winning best heroine. WTF should of went to Celes man.

And Cecil winning best hero. Yay. :jess:

[Shauna]

This was a fun read. :} Great job to everyone who got involved! :D Thanks a lot, 'specially to Award Chocobo for all his hard work!




Although, I am now convinced that the memberbase of EoFF is objectively wrong about everything FF related. :colbert:

[Psychotic]

VI and IX should have been #1 and #2 respectively, but I guess them being in the top three isn't too bad.

Fanboys, I tell you what"If you like a different game from me, you are a fanboy." Come on you're better than that. VII is objectively the best FF game, that's why it got so many Ciddies. Yes, objectively. Observe:

Theory: Final Fantasy VII is the best FF game.
Evidence: Mukki; Barret in a sailor suit.

Refute me.

Can't do it, can you?

Crossdressing heroes, the most annoying character actually dying, final boss that destroys the entire solar system multiple times, getting date-raped by a gay guy at an inn, summoning multiple versions of Bahamut, being the first 3D Final Fantasy and popularizing the series...

[Loony BoB]

And yet VI and IX were still more fun and had more replay value. Hmm.
VI was not more fun for me and last I checked has no more replay value than VII does. Does VI have anything that you can't see in a single playthrough? VII does (Golden Saucer dates & Tifa/Cloud under Highwind are different depending on how you play the game). Not sure about VI, though. I think you can have see 100% of FFVI in one playthrough, though... so I'd say that's less replay value on those grounds. Not sure about IX, still playing it... although I haven't for ages, so I'd still say VII is more fun. ;)

Am I a fanboy? Hell yes, because a good game will have fanboys.


When do we find out who won the game prizes?
Tomorrow! :) Only one prize, I'm afraid - this one is coming out of my wallet. ;)

[The Man]

There are a bunch of scenes that vary pretty significantly depending on who you have in your party, and there is stuff that you can only see if Shadow lives and other stuff you can only see if he dies. There's probably other stuff I'm forgetting too.

Plus you can try different strategies customising each character each time you play the game, which opens up a lot of possibilities for different approaches. Not as much as FFV but still.

[Jiro]

Psychotic's argument is the only good argument for FFVII. And I'm tempted to agree. But then, like, dude Sabin suplexes a train, crane, brain, and all sorts of shit as the thread in the VI forum points out. Plus he has a move called Bum Rush. Sabin is pretty great and that's before you get to the rest of the cast. Smurfing Umaro man what is his deal.

[Loony BoB]

The only way Sabin could get better is if he were instead a she, and she were a hot chick worthy of Sexiest Female in the 25th Anniversary FF Ci-- ohhhhh wait.

[Jiro]

Oh no you didn't just do that oh dude you are so dead

[Griever Zero]

Tomorrow! :) Only one prize, I'm afraid - this one is coming out of my wallet. ;)

Okay! well... thank you for doing all of this and putting up your own money for the community =)

[Psychotic]

You get to ruin a military parade!

[maybee]

In FF IV you can also use to the toilet as well and flush. You don't wash your hands though.
:onoes:

[Jiro]

In FFVII there's an optional sidequest where Yuffie is a bitch and nicks your materia, rendering you only able to use items and attack. Your reward for finishing it? NOT FUCKING MUCH.

In FFVI the limitation sidequest is the Fanatics Tower, where you are only able to use Magic. Your reward is actually worthwhile, it's a nice challenge - something that FFVII lacks entirely - and I'll be damned if there aren't ways around the stipulation if you make good use of the Relic system and character choices. Smurf right off with all of this, are we really going to descend into bickering about individual things like this? It's kind of pathetic but I will stoop this low if only to prove you wrong.

[Loony BoB]

In FFVII there's an optional sidequest where Yuffie is a bitch and nicks your materia, rendering you only able to use items and attack. Your reward for finishing it? NOT smurfING MUCH.
Any sidequest that features Reno, Rude, Don Corneo and the music associated with them is worth getting involved with. These characters, their music, it is reward in itself.

[Psychotic]

t's a nice challenge - something that FFVII lacks entirelyEver got 5,000 points on the Speed Square roller coaster? Have you bollocks.

I get what you mean though. Emerald Weapon was a pushover and the master materia you got for winning (I say winning, you just had to sneeze on it for it to drop) wasn't even a good enough reward for that.

[Loony BoB]

Despite FFVII being my favourite game, I never really bothered much with the Weapons (or Speed Square). I was too invested in mastering materia, leveling characters and breeding chocobos. x_x

[DrAssenov]

Breeding the chocobos was fun XD I hated getting rid of my other good chocos just to free up stable space though...grr...

Speed square was really difficult for me! Everything was so distracting! I'm terrible at that mini game.

Sorry, I guess I'm getting off topic here.

Great job everyone! Especially Award Chocobo! :D

I just want to say that these people made this (http://na.square-enix.com/finalfantasy/go/article/view/final_fantasy_25th_anniversary/261255/final_fantasy_25th_anniversary_-_fan_community) happen. Congratulations to the artists, speechwriters and all those that helped take this event to the next level. I've had a few people mention it may have been the best event EoFF has ever put together and it's them that did this.

I hope we can build on this, though!

[SkyRender]

Amazing read! Thanks for all your effort and time in putting this together!! Too bad FFVI didn't win more =*(

[Raistlin]

It's really incredible the work that went into this, and it was put together very well. Great job to everyone involved, and I hope this isn't the last time we see this sort of thing done.

[Loony BoB]

The winner of the game prize draw is: Agent Proto!

[Agent Proto]

Ace! I almost had forgotten about the game prize to be won until you notified me that I had won. :D

[Formalhaut]

Fix! :mad2:

[Loony BoB]

How is it rigged? I don't get any benefit from pr00t winning. :p If I wanted to rig it, I'd have made me or Danielle win. ;)

[Psychotic]

Has anyone ever met this "Danielle"? No? Does she even exist... or is she perhaps AN ALIAS OF AGENT PROTO?!

But yeah, I think I did pretty well, I gotta say. :aimsun:

In that picture, she's very much on Psy's arm! Or under it, anyway.

Yeah, he created her in a lab out of a lock of hair he cut off of some poor woman's head.

You have no idea how much that explains.

[Agent Proto]

I bet she was the results of all that hair BoB collected over the years.

[Loony BoB]

You flatter everyone I've received hair from by thinking the combination of them would create something as beautiful as Danielle. :p

Do you have a list of all the hair you've collected?

[Loony BoB]

Probably, but I can't be arsed digging around for it. It's probably on EoFF. xD

EDIT: For anyone reading this that doesn't know me: It's a long story. Short story is, I jokingly suggested people send me hair for analysis, put up my address, and then, uh, quite a few people actually did.

The "for analysis" makes it sound like you were far creepier than you actually are

This seems to imply that it is actually possible to be creepier than BoB.

He says "jokingly". When I was at his flat and sitting on the computer, he got his girlfriend to go up behind me unawares and take a huge chunk out of my hair.

NOW I'M BALD

COINCIDENCE???????

[Loony BoB]

Was I drunk then, too? I don't even remember that bit. But it sounds like something I would do if I was drunk enough. =|

[Jiro]

You assaulted a man. There's no telling what you're capable of under the influence.

[Psychotic]

Stone cold sober.

[Tigmafuzz]

Stoned drunk sober.

[Bubba]

Has this started yet? Did I miss the intro?

[Loony BoB]

You missed Squall singing, that was pretty epic. ;)

[Bubba]

Ha, so I heard! Well, thought I'd show up just in time to lodge the 1000th post of the thread.

Great job to everyone who took part! This is, in my opinion, the greatest thing EOFF has ever done. The artwork alone was simply phenomenal.

EDIT: Though if Award Tonberry uses my avatar again I'm gonna kick his face off

[Loony BoB]

I think Award Tonberry just looks incredibly similar to the Tonberry in your avatar. I bet Tonberries say the same thing about humans, though.

Slightly different hue of green
