Final Fantasy Ciddies Predictions Party

I've never run one of these before so you'll have to bear with me if I get something wrong, and I can't promise to have all this sorted out immediately when results get done because I'm still not 100% sure what I'm doing. But regardless, I'm going to give this a go.

Have you got some L'cie-granted psychic powers and reckon you know exactly who's going to win this Final Fantasy popularity contest? Then show me what you're made of. This is the Official Final Fantasy Ciddies Prediction Party for End of Year 2012.

It takes little to no effort, but play your cards right and you could be walking away with the best prize of all - bragging rights. Anybody that beats WesLY in predictions will also receive a coupon for one free high five from yours truly! I'll even throw in a butt squeeze if you're feeling frisky.

Here's what you need to do:

• Click on the spoiler
• Pick a winner from the nominees in each category
• Post your choices in this thread

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3! Remember though, this isn't your vote! Hit up Award Chocobo if that's what you're searching for.

What's the deadline on this?

I haven't decided. When do votes close? The voting thread doesn't seem to say.

I'm half tempted to say I'll keep accepting predictions until BoB reveals the winners, but I don't know how wise that would be. I'm not even sure if the winners are going to be revealed in IRC first, like the winners of the regular Ciddies were.

Predictions
1. Best Character
Terra Branford - FFVI
Come on, it's not like there's any real competition here

2. Best Hero
Zack Fair - FFVII:CC
Because EoFF isn't smart enough to realize how much more ace Cecil is

3. Best Heroine
Rydia - FFIV
Once again, Terra's the best, but people will probably hesitate to vote for the same character in both slots

4. Best Villain
Kefka Palazzo - FFVI
No contest. Luckily EoFF's not lame enough to put Sephiroth in this slot like any kiddie board would

5. Best NPC
Stay Away From The Summoner Lady - FFX
Pure hunch. It doesn't make sense to me since others have been in more than one game, but I'm gonna go with my gut on this one

6. Best Creature (Species)
Chocobo
Expecting EoFF to choose wrong again

7. Best Summon
Bahamut
Everyone likes badass dragons. (Except me. This is not how I voted because it is wrong.)

8. Best World
Ivalice - FFT, FFTA, FFXII
Obvious choice, it's been the setting for multiple games, although it's still nowhere near as well developed and vibrant as Vana'diel. Vana'diel will lose because so few EoFF'ers play FFXI, on account of their penchant for being wrong.

9. Best Town/Location
Golden Saucer - FFVII
No idea. Selected at random. The best Town is obviously Jeuno, which isn't even an option

10. Best Song
Battle at the Big Bridge - FFV
Even EoFF has to be right *sometimes*

11. Best Moment
Death of Aeris - FFVII
A lot of people who didn't play FFVII until "Aeris Dies" got demoted from spoiler status really hate Aeris, so will vote this way just to flip her the bird. Those who played when it was new will remember that "Square you magnificent bastards" moment like it was yesterday

12. Sexiest Male
Balthier - FFXII
Counting on the fact that a lot of guys won't vote on this one, and the girls have been pretty openly appreciative of Balthier

13. Sexiest Female
Tifa Lockhart - FFVII
I don't think enough people will take the obvious "smurf you" vote of Rikku, so it will fall to the girl whose breasts are the same size as her entire freaking head. Medically, Tifa is guaranteed to have crippling back problems. Good job being wrong again, EoFF.

14. Cutest Male
Laguna Loire - FFVIII
I'm a heterosexual guy and I can see this

15. Cutest Female
Relm Arrowny - FFVI
counting on the FFVI fanbase here

16. Best Voice
Balthier - FFXII
selected at random, because all English-speaking voice actors other than Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried are rubbish and I have no way of discerning exactly *which* wrong choice EoFF will make

17. Best Dialogue (Character)
Tellah - FFIV
"You spoony bard!" will win this one hands down. Wish I'd thought of it during noms instead of Palmer and his lard tea.

18. Best Dressed Character
Rydia - FFIV
Predicting male EoFF'ers will misread this as "least dressed character," or read it correctly but interpret it as "least dressed character."

19. Best Story (Character)
Zack Fair - FFVII:CC
Honestly, storywise FFVII is a given. Haters notwithstanding, it's the only FF game that started out as an actual freakin' *book* and that makes it stand out. Zack will edge Cloud based on the fact that Cloud starts out as nothing more than a Zack wannabe

20. Nicest Character
Rosa Farrell - FFIV
Dude, she forgave *Kain* for felonious kidnapping with intent to rape and attempted murder. It doesn't get much more stupid nice than that

21. Evilest Character
Kefka Palazzo - FFVI
Every other villain who successfully *blew up the smurfing world* raise your hand. What, nobody?

22. Happiest Character
Selphie Tilmitt - FFVIII
Selphie is so cloying that she *literally* made me vomit

23. Angriest Character
Cid Highwind - FFVII
SHUT UP AND DRINK YOUR @#$% TEA

24. Funniest Character
Ultros - FFVI
Don't tease the octopus, kids

25. Weirdest Character
Cait Sith - FFVII
seriously, what the deuce is this thing

26. Most Influential Character
Cecil Harvey - FFIV
Cecil is the progenitor of every paladin in the FF universe. Not sure why I'm not predicting EoFF to get it wrong as usual, but I have a good feeling about this one.

27. Most Mysterious Character
Gogo - FFVI
Literally zero character development. Perhaps not so much mysterious on purpose as lazy writing, but if the glove fits...

28. Most Underrated Character
Edward Chris von Muir - FFIV
I have no idea *how* EoFF will be wrong on this one, so maybe the wrong vote will be split so badly that the correct choice will actually be made

29. Most Annoying Character
Yuffie Kisaragi - FFVII
The only character besides Selphie I've ever added to my party just to get her killed

30. Cutest Couple
Aeris Gainsborough & Zack Fair - FFVII:CC
Banking on EoFF getting it wrong again

Most Likely To...
31. Be the Protagonist in a New Sequel
Lightning - FFXIII
Going with the safe vote here, although I think it would be a mistake on S-E's part

32. Get Killed off in a New Sequel
Barret Wallace - FFVII
The black guy *always* dies, because all writers are horrible racists

33. Get Run Over by a Chocobo
Yuffie Kisaragi - FFVII
I want this to actually happen. I hope enough EoFF'ers are with me in this to bring home the prize

34. Be Riding the Chocobo
Bartz Klauser - FFV
Because Boco.

35. Laugh at the Character Getting Run over by a Chocobo
Heidegger - FFVII
The obvious but yet *correct* choice

36. Run over a snurble and spend the rest of their lives crying over it
Oerba Dia Vanille - FFXIII
wtf's a snurble?

37. Beat up an adamantoise on their day off
Squall Leonhart - FFVIII
Like I said in the noms, so we're looking for an emotionless psychopath? That'd be Squall.

38. Be Biggs
Wedge - FFVII
GDI, EoFF

39. Be Wedge
Biggs - FFVII
see: above. 38 and 39 are basically the same award

40. Get Together
Edge Geraldine & Rydia - FFIV
She clearly wants it.

Special Awards for Square-Enix Staff
41. Highwind Award for Most Loved Former Square-Enix Employee
Nobuo Uematsu
Uematsu rocks hard, but the Gooch rocks harder. Betting on EoFF to get this one slightly wrong by picking the close second

42. Highwind Award for Most Loved Current Square-Enix Employee
Yoshitaka Amano
Again, Nomura's better, but I expect EoFF to pick the second best.

(SPOILER) Jiro to sweep, Sephex gets nothing.

Kefka Palazzo – FFVI. An easy pick.

5. Best NPC

Chocobo. The obvious pick, though Tonberry is a dark horse.

Right, that appears to be all the predictions I'm likely to get. Prediction submissions are now closed. Submitting the updated predictions tally to BoB so he can work them into his awards results.

So who won this? I think I got 18/42.

I haven't tallied yet. BoB said he'd do this tomorrow but I can give it a start I guess. I'll edit this post with the predictions I count up when IRC dies down.

Good job Proto; thanks for making my life easier.

Looks like everyone was really dismal at predicting this; no one even got 50% correct :monster:

Just a note, Raistlin is the only one to have correctly predicted Vivi winning Best Character.

17. Not bad.

20. Nicest Character
Aeris Gainsborough - FFVII
She scarified herself to save the planet. What a bitch.

Not sure if the typo is intentional, but she didn't sacrifice herself, she simply got snuffed. ;)

31. Be the Protagonist in a New Sequel
Balthier - FFXII
Since Lightning is already due for one, how about someone different?

---

Balthier was leading pretty much the entire way until some Lightning votes rushed in right at the end of voting period. So close to a big upset!

If Rydia doesn't win this, then what the hell has been wrong with our Babe Contests? :greenie:

Not a big/interested enough target audience, or not enough publicity? YOU DECIDE.

8. Best World
Ivalice - FFT, FFTA, FFXII
Obvious choice, it's been the setting for multiple games, although it's still nowhere near as well developed and vibrant as Vana'diel. Vana'diel will lose because so few EoFF'ers play FFXI, on account of their penchant for being wrong.

Every time I saw you mentioning this, I really wanted to post this in reply. But AC was too busy playing host and staying in character. So, now that I can...

26. Most Influential Character
Cecil Harvey - FFIV
Cecil is the progenitor of every paladin in the FF universe. Not sure why I'm not predicting EoFF to get it wrong as usual, but I have a good feeling about this one.

Right feeling, wrong award!

Oerba Dia Vanille - FFXIII
wtf's a snurble?

I do hope you're going to be playing FFXIV again, because you clearly didn't play it enough.

42. Highwind Award for Most Loved Current Square-Enix Employee
Yoshitaka Amano
Again, Nomura's better, but I expect EoFF to pick the second best.

Sometimes you just gotta go with optimism.

Well done! It was close, and about half of the finalists had their time ahead of the pack for at least a few sets of votes.

27. Most Mysterious Character
Auron – FFX. Ugh. I suppose someone from FFX is bound to win something. It might as well be Auron.

Auron got a couple of Ciddies, but not this one![/quote]

Guess that shows how much I'm due for a replay, it's been almost... 10 years since I played through it :shobon: Right now I'm going through all of them in order to delay playing XIII as long as possible going through V right now then VI :D

I did a bit better than I expected (and by that I mean I was only half-terrible), though I can't believe no one else predicted Vivi for Best Character. That guy gets all sorts of love around here.
