    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.

      Please give a warm welcome to the presenter of this award...
      Rydia




      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. 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
      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
      I sense much sadness from this one . 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
      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. Sorry, suppose to be impartial! His awesome-tastic signature move is Mega-Flare!

      Carbuncle
      OH MY GOD. IT IS SO CUTE. I LOVE IT'S CHOICE OF COLORS. IT'S SO FLUFFY I COULD DIE. HIS SIGNATURE MOVE IS FLUFFY. I MEAN. UH. RUBY LIGHT.

      Doomtrain
      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
      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
      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
      Shiva is a sexy mama! Her signature move is Diamond Dust! Women gotta have their diamonds! She was recently declared summon of the month - 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...

      Best Creature

      The Nominees
      Behemoth · Cactuar · Chocobo · Malboro · Moomba · Tonberry

      Please give a warm welcome to the presenter of this award...
      Mog
      of Final Fantasy XIII-2




      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:



      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!



      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!



      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!



      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!



      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!



      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...

      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!

      Did you commission for all these 'photographs' or people just did it because FF is awesome? XD

      EDIT: GDI. I swear I was looking at that Shadow Creeper picture when I started writing this... :x

      He got me to write speeches via blackmail, so I imagine the pictures are more of the same.

      Whatever I see fit

      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!
