Esper Survivor Round 8

[Halenite]

BAHAMUT?! How could you vote out BAHAMUT?

Anyway, next vote.
Again, my vote goes for Phantom, vanish to me is useless.

EDIT: I also split up Sraphim/Starlet and Odin/Raiden in case some like one but not the other.

[feioncastor]

Who the heck voted out Bahamut? He is quite possibly the coolest esper of all. I mean, he teaches Flare, for cyring out loud. Who voted for Bahamut when Phantom was still up there?

Needless to say, I also voted for Phantom. I mean, really, those spells were just slot fillers for me. I never really used them... Wait a minute, yes I did!!!

The good old Vanish + Doom Trick!!!

Man, I dont know how I spaced that out. It even works on Doom Gaze.

[abrojtm]

Yes, Phantom is useful. He teaches Vanish. Vote of Bismark or die painfully.

[Remnant]

Hey, this poll just got interesting- no more foregone conclusion that Bahumut will win. And since crusader damages you as well, we might actually be able to have a debate here, especially if people bother to think about spells taught and level bonuses.

Phantom is useful for cheese. I don't really like cheese.

Phantom gets my vote.


Why the hostility towards Bismark? He teaches the basic elemental spells at X20, is one of the only sources of water damage in the game, and gives a +2 Str level bonus!

Not to mention a whale flying through the air over the world of ruin makes a great unintentional hitchikers reference. Looks like Kefka's been playing with the improbability drive.

[Flashback007]

They voted away Bahamut :eek: . I am going to vote totally unreasonable at vote for Phoenix. :mad2:

[Inferno]

Gotta go with Kirin.

[Halenite]

PHOENIX?!

BTW, Inferno, your sig is crazy.

[Inferno]

BTW, Inferno, your sig is crazy.
Is that a compliment ?!

[Del Murder]

Man this thing is going to take years!

[Halenite]

Del Murder, this should be done in a couple of months. (I'm only making the polls 10 days long.

[Del Murder]

I'm just messing. Take as long as you like (there sure are a lot of espers in this one!)

[Armisael]

Starlet for me..
and i'm sure Ultima Shadow will have a heart attack when he sees Bahamut got out..

[Halenite]

He's probably already noticed, and has decided not to blow up in our faces. (if so, thank you)

BTW, yes inferno, that was a compliment.

[Martyr]

Starlet rules!

Bahamut can go, I guess, if Ragnarok is up there, but I don't see it.
Whatever.

I voted Kirin, even though it's a reay cool and useful esper in the beginning.
But no stat bonus on Kirin, I don't think.

Where's Zoneseek? I want to see that one win? Or was it somehow already voted off?

(I'm new to this)

Edit: Wow! Golem and Zoneseek are gone! The +2 magic and +2 Vig? Golem keeps everybody from taking any kind of damage? 15 Osmose so everybody can learn it so quick there'll never be need to buy ethers again?
I can't understand that at all. Maybe it is a weakest link, vote out somebody cool to make the final decision easier, kind of thing.

[Ultima Shadow]

Starlet for me..
and i'm sure Ultima Shadow will have a heart attack when he sees Bahamut got out..
Don't worry. I'm sure Bahamut got voted off because people thought they should vote their fav! :)

Oh, and my vote goes for..... *picks random* Kirin!! :)

Are you really this distraught to see Zoneseek and Golem go? Honestly, I only equipped Zoneseek and Golem to fill up my spell list. I'm shocked that Bahamut went so quickly. I mean, Bahamut! The one that teaches flare. Probably the coolest looking Esper... Well, I dunno, Alexandr is pretty cool too. But really, Stray, Zoneseek, Golem, Phantom, Carbunkl, and all those other ones pretty much only teach grey spells, and most of them are only useful in certain battles. Most battles can be won without grey spells at all, and there are only a few that grey spells actually make the battle easier. Sure, they grey spells are fun to mess around with, like just to have fun, but you can easily beat MOST fights without ever using them.

[Martyr]

No. I'm not really all that distraught about anything.

I exaggerate my feelings about everything on the boards because I can't act childish anymore in real life now that I'm 21. Or maybe I'm 22?

In any case, "distraught" is the wrong word.

Ultimately, Zoneseek and Golem could never win so they may as well be offed anyway.

I'd expect this to go down to Tritoch, Phoenix and Raiden, in the end.

Alexander, Crusader, and Fenrir are awesome, but even they won't make it in the end, I don't think.


Nevertheless, I don't consider Golem's Esper ability to block all physical damage and Zoneseeks ability to raise magic power 2 points every level and teach grey, Osmose (Which may be a little grey, but it's invaluable when you need it) to be quite so inferior.
Maybe they're awesome, but they're not inferior.

[DarkMaelstrom]

I'm votin for Bismark, It's a friggin' whale for god's sake, how could you put a whale into a ff game? If i wanted to see a whale, I'd look at my mom... :mad:

[Dark Ekonis]

I cannot believe Bahaumut is gone, I figured with his 50% hp up he would last the longest, and not to mention he is the only one who can give you flare before Kefkas Tower.

[Halenite]

Oops, yeah I did forget Ragnarok.
Does anyone want me to bother putting him in the next rounds?

[Martyr]

Well... Ragnarok is the best esper. Except, maybe, for Raiden (That's the dude with Quick, right?).

So maybe it's unfair to have it.

[Halenite]

BTW, i noticed that this poll ends on Sunday so I will not be able to post the next round until Monday or Tuesday b/c I'm getting baptized on the 12th.

Sorry in advance for the delay.

EDIT: Nope, I managed to get here on time.
