Eyes on Final Fantasy Summon Tournament

Attachment 70748

80 Summons from thirteen games are going to duke it out in a popularity tournament to see once and for all, which summon is the darling of EoFF. Hell they may even get a theme to commemorate their victory*. So who is ready to see which one of our favorite monsters of death and cuddliness will reign supreme?

The tournament is separated into ten brackets of eight competitors. They are taken from the first thirteen games due to the FF Wiki being really coy on which Primals are actual summons/pets and because most of them are already accounted for. Item based summons will make a showing. Don't expect spin-off stuff cause eighty is already too much, you want to do all of them, make your own tournament which will likely gave hookers, booze, and blackjack.

I'll post a separate thread for each bracket after the previous one has been finished voting. You will have up to 48 hours from the thread starting to vote.



*Summon will most likely not get a reward for winning. Chances of this tournament actually reaching the end before I get bored is 1:12 chance. Participants will not be reimbursed and staff will not be held responsible for the laziness of the MC.

The Warrior of Light Bracket is up.

The first round in the Warrior of Light bracket is officially closed.

Winners are:

• Mist Dragon shrouded Kirin in fog before going for the win.
• Ramuh was able to strike down Zodiark with his lightning before Zodiark could bring up his pailing.
• Bismarck washed away that rusty sword Ragnarok
• and after several failed attempts with Zantesuken, Gilgamesh finally unleashed Masemune to strike down Phantom.

Wild Rose is currently going on.

inb4 carbuncle takes it all

I pretty much have nicknamed the first round for all the brackets as the "great culling of the Espers" from VI and XII.

Btw, the Onion Knight bracket is up.

Wild Rose's first round is done.

• Carbuncle reflected back Adrammalech's lightning to score a flawless victory.
• Yojimbo sent his dog to deal with Goblin since it wasn't worth the effort.
• The timer hit zero on Belias and he was cut in twine by Odin.
• Syldra's Thunderstorm short-circuited Brynhildr.

Onion Knight is still going on with less than 24 hours left to vote.

The Red Wings Bracket is now open.

Onion Knight is at a close...

Leviathan drowned Quetzalli
Alexander passed Judgment on Quezacotl
Valefor swept away Catoblepas
and Cactuar taught Zalera the Death Seraph the true meaning of "death of a thousand cuts...

Due to scheduling conflicts, Dawn Warrior Bracket will be coming up later tonight.

Due to unforeseen circumstance, the next bracket will be up sometime tomorrow, but I plan on doing the next two.

As for the Red Wing Bracket, I flipped a coin to decide the tie.

• Asura healed through and wore out Crusader...
• Eden smite Midgardsormr
• Phoenix scorched Pandemona
• Chocobo ran circles around Ark.

Stay tuned for the next two brackets.

Magitek Knight round is up.

Stay tuned for the last two brackets later today.

Tantalus and Guardian Brackets are up. This will conclude the first round.

Tantalus and Guardian Brackets are close.

Round 1 of the tourney is over. Round 2 will begin shortly and move a bit faster.

Round2 of Warrior of Light and Wild Rose are up. I told you where they came from, now it's time to see their stuff.

Results for Warrior of Light and Wild Rose rounds are...

Ramuh struck down the Mist Dragon with Lightning from the heavens.
It took a long time, but Gilgamesh finally defeated Bismarck after hitting him a million times with Excalipoor.

Carbuncle won cause Yojimbo wandered off after not getting paid enough.
Odin plunged Gungnir straight into Sydra's heart and vanquished the beast.

Three brackets are up now. Three more will be up later this evening.

Sorry about the delay in this. I'm doing NaNo this month and it's also that time of year where half of my family clan has a birthday (including myself) so it's going to be a bit hit and go for a while. I'll give you the results of the last three tourneys and as usual, ties are determined by coin toss.

Results from the last three brackets:

Onion Knight
Alexander nuked the hell out of Leviathan.
Valefore Ray Bombed Cactaur

Red Wings
Eden mystified Asura and she got dizzy switching heads trying to figure out what she was and passed out.
Phoenix is feasting on roast Chocobo.

Dawn Warriors
Tonberry used Everyone's Grudge to get revenge on KotR that many a young fan abused.
Diabolos won the VIII GF popularity contest over Brothers thanks to his tasteful one piece swim suit in the swimsuit round.

Results for last three brackets are:

Magitek Knight

The Magus Sisters kept bickering with each others after a failed Delta Attack and didn't notice Doomtrain before it was too late.

Shiva and Typhon had a climatic battle that got interrupted by Ultros who called Mr. Typhon back to the Dragon Neck Colesium to help him with his debt.

Ex-SOLDIER

In a serious battle of Earth vs. Wind between Fenrir and Garuda, Fenris suddenly remembered he used to be Wind Elemental as well and used both earth and wind to finally ground the bird.

Sylph sucked the life out of Bomb before he even had a chance to self-destruct. Almost like he was a Capri Sun.

SeeD

Hades inflicted every bad status he could on Bahamut ZERO, including Confusion, which is why BZ left and nuked Cocoon instead.

Atmos swallowed Bahamut but while resting in his interdimensional gullet, Bahamut remembered their was actually a time that he used to be the Ultimate summon and with renewed vigor, Mega Flared his way out of Atmos and sent it back to small cameos in XIV and mobile games.

The last two brackets for Round 2 of the Tourney will be up soon.

Results for the last brackets in Round 2.

Tantalus

Valigarmanda's frozen shell protected him from Exodus' Meteor spell and even broke him free to counterattack and win.
Ifrit's origami talent wowed the audience and allowed him to beat Golem's ventriloquist act in the talent show.

Guardian

Anima reached into herself to find her motherly instinct and took Mateus over her... second self? and spanked him for kidnapping ice spirits.
Zeromus couldn't bring himself to harm Mini Mog after seeing how cute it was, which made it easier for Mini Mog to sneak up behind him and shank him like a prison bitch.

Round 3 will start shortly.

I've been following the tournament so far. I can't wait to see who the over-all favorite is going to be. My personal vote will always go to Bahamut.
