Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ciddies
Final Fantasy Awards... with style!

As part of the Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary celebrations, Eyes on Final Fantasy decided to get some of the best members and artists to work together to create an awards event unlike anything you've seen before! This wasn't just a standard awards event where you vote and then someday someone tells you who won, and that's that... no, this event was created as an elaborate show within the Final Fantasy 'multiverse', and it's our delight to present the results to you. Please, follow the below links to find out who won what award, who sang what newly-created song while playing their guitar, who saves the day and more!

This event was created with the intention of saying a massive thankyou to Square-Enix and Final Fantasy. From the fans - all of us!

If you want the full version, including posts by members and Award Creatures, follow this link.
If you want the condensed version without any member comments/posts, follow this link.

Serah & Vanille are happy to welcome all you NPC's to the awards ceremony! Photographer: nicegal1

This speech might get a bit awkward

All I've got is two as well.

Cait Sith: Woah! I got my awards mixed up there! Sorry guys! I must have been busy fortune telling. I fixed it up, though! It's Serah doing this award presentation!

Serah: We’re coming up to the closing of our ceremony now, and I’m here to present the award for the “Cutest Couple”

Sometimes a couple are already together, and fit so perfectly together that you can see why! But others often fall together after being brought into circumstances beyond their control, for instance a great evil has beset the world and two young heroes collide on the path to victory, and find love along the way!

Isn’t it just so romantic?

Amongst our nominees we have the tragic Aeris and Zack, Tidus and Yuna and my personal favourite of the list, Vanille and Fang. We have the triumphant Garnet and Zidane. The heroic pairing of Squall and Rinoa. There is one of the most complex of romantic relationships out there, Cloud and Tifa. Of course the classic love stories of Celes and Locke and Cecil and Rosa. and that brings us to the plain weird; Thorn and Zorn.

You know, I’m still a little surprised that I’m not in this category, but; I’m rooting for Vanille and Fang!

I believe that when you’re fighting to save the world, your love grows stronger and deeper, and you find the connection that can be deep rooted through souls and time... and to be the best couple, you can’t have that without sacrifice, passion and everything that makes love so true...

And the winner is…

Vincent Valentine: Hi, it's Vince again. Get the ShamWow!™. I don't know, this thing just sells itself!

These Vincent-selling-shamwow commercials are hilarious.

Yay! I got a prediction right for once!

A deserving win! Definitely best couple!

Faris - 12-15-2012, 09:42 PM

Most Annoying Character

The Nominees
Cait Sith - FFVII · Hope Estheim - FFXIII · Oerba Dia Vanille - FFXIII · Quina Quen - FFIX · Squall Leonhart - FFVIII · Tidus - FFX · Vaan - FFXII · Yuffie Kisaragi - FFVII · Zell Dincht - FFVIII

Please give a warm welcome to the presenters of this award...
Locke, Rachel, Celes & Terra

Cait Sith: I'm sure of it this time around, don't you worry! I'm one focused cat, now! Hey, wait a minute why am I in this!? Oh well...

Psychotic - 12-15-2012, 09:45 PM
You woke Rachel from a coma just to make her present a Ciddie? That's pretty hardcore, Award Chocobo.

Award Chocobo - 12-15-2012, 09:45 PM
Locke: Hello, ladies!

Celes: Hi Locke! How are you?

Locke: I'm pretty good, I gotta say! What about you two?

Terra: Fine.

Rachel: I'm fine.

Terra: Let's get through these nominees for Most Annoying Member, shall we?

Locke: In a hurry, eh? No problem! First up is Cait Sith, who tonight I understand is managing the loudspeaker.

Celes: I really do hate it when he uses that megaphone when I'm standing right next to him, so I can kind of see how people would get annoyed. Not to mention that he totally screwed over AVALANCHE that one time... but people make mistakes.

Terra: Hmm, yes, they do. Next is Hope Estheim, who clearly made some people jealous at his immense intelligence and speed of maturing, but it was probably his constant teen angst at Snow that got people annoyed. Although when you're dealing with death, people seemingly do stupid things.

Rachel: Not that it's an excuse.

Terra: Definitely not.

Locke: Uh, yeah. Anyway, Vanille is next on the list - pretty sure that's due to her love-it-or-hate-it accent and the many erotic grunts she makes.

Rachel: I bet you loved that...

Locke: Not the time or place, haha!

Rachel: Quina Quen is up for this award, too - well, people who do what they want do get very annoying!

Celes: Squall's here, too - whatever. See what I did there? "Whatever"? Anyone?

Terra: Wha-- argh! Dammit.

Locke: *chuckles* Tidus is on the list, I suppose that's not surprising. For anyone who is only just getting to know the guy, he's quite, uh, open with his emotions. Very much so. The kind of guy that wears his heart on his sleeve.

Rachel: Better than wearing your heart in your hand and giving it away at every turn!

Locke: I... suppose...

Celes: Vaan's next. These young lead characters don't get much of a break in these awards!

Terra: At least they're loyal, though. Always. To the end.

Rachel: Definitely. Next up is Yuffie Kisaragi.

Celes: Whenever I meet Yuffie, my purse feels lighter.

Locke: Great kid.

Terra: You would like her, you thief.

Locke: Hey! It's a treasure hunter, you know that!

Terra: Hmm, you certainly are a hunter of something. Last on the list is Zell Dincht. I guess his, uh, simple minded nature didn't capture everyone. Some people need to think a little more, don't they Locke?

Locke: Alright, alright, that's the nominees done, now what's going on here? You two have been sniping at me all day!

Rachel: Cutest Couple finalist, huh?

Locke: Huh? Oh, uh...

Terra: Yeah, you told me I was special!

Rachel: He WHAT!? You, too!?

Locke: Uh oh. Now, look...

Celes: Hey, I think it's sweet that so many girls like this lovely man!

Rachel: He was mine first, you hussy.

Terra: You died!

Rachel: This is a magical multiverse. Do I look dead to you!?

Locke: You told me to love her as I loved you!

Terra: Oh, God, you think she actually meant that!?

Celes: Ouch, Locke. That's bad.

Locke: Hey! You're supposed to be on my side!

Celes: Locke, honey, girls don't mean that crap, they want to be number one for all of your life. But I'm glad you're with me anyway.

Rachel: Hmph.

Locke: Then maybe she -- uh, that is... oh, God, I'm not getting out of this at all. And Terra, I mean, come on, I don't know where this has come from!

Terra: You were very suggestive. Sure, you didn't outright hit on me, but...

Rachel: He's always suggestive. It's in his nature, or something. Probably spent too much time around Edgar.

Terra: He would always come running when I needed him!

Celes: Maybe he was just being protective of you?

Terra: I guess, but...

Celes: Let's face it, he's a great guy. Sure, he can be annoying on a few occasions, but he means well!

Rachel: *sigh* I suppose.

Locke: Hey, now, no tears. C'mere.

Locke and Rachel hug. Terra and Celes look at each other and join the hug. A few seconds pass.

Locke: ...I take it there's no way that I can somehow wrangle this situation to work in favour of everyo--

Celes, Rachel & Terra: NO!!!

The girls quickly detach themselves from the embrace.

Locke: Just asking, just asking! Okay, uh, everyone's staring, so... may as well get this over with, then. The winner of Most Annoying Member is...

Psychotic - 12-15-2012, 09:47 PM
Well that just got awkward fast!

Faris - 12-15-2012, 09:49 PM
It's probably a good thing that the other ladies man won the award.
