FF Character Tournament - Winner revealed!

[Del Murder]

Wow, these are all really close, except for Zidane running away with his match. Like I said, I think this is the toughest division.

The seeding was based on their performance in past tournaments, the mini-tournaments I made in the individual game forums, and input from some members. It's as fair as I can get!

[Kyros]

surprise, I'm outdone by people's FFIX favoritism combined with FFVIII hate, also how did Barrett get even 1 vote? I never liked his stupid face :P

[Raistlin]

Ahh, it brings me great joy to vote against any FFVIII character.

Yes.

Also Garnet has outlived her usefulness. And I kinda like Yuffie, but it's her tough luck going up against one of my favorite FF characters in the first round.

My FFVIII love combined with my FFIX love means I was left agonising over my choices far more than should be normal.

I would go on about how I think most of the FFIX cast consisted of retards, but I'll be nice and keep this thread away from turning into a flame war. I'm still not getting some of the votes in general though (mainly Steiner vs Tifa and Rinoa vs Red).

[charliepanayi]

Steiner's great is why.

There has to be other people out there who like all the PSX era games!

[Rantz]

I do, I do! I love them all

These are all PSX era games what are you talking about with that? Also, I must have missed the entirety of Steiner's greatness when I played through the game somewhere during his persistent nagging that made me want to take his sword and stab it through his fat face.

[Del Murder]

Looks like a few of these have pulled away. Also it's not looking good for the FFVIII crew!

[Wolf Kanno]

I would be surprised by all the choices being made if it wasn't for the fact I know this forum has a lot of love for FFIX

With that said, I'm sad that Squall is not going to see later rounds thanks to the Quina groupies. I'm very happy to see Garnet, Rinoa, and Yuffie get the shaft early though. Its a shame Red XIII and Eiko lucked out and will be able to advance though.

Now for the next branch which will prove to be the most difficult.

Though I am going to make my first bet and say that this branch will end with Cid vs. Vivi

[eestlinc]

I know I ranked Yuffie a lot higher.

I mean the fact that this thread (and others) usually has evidence of someone hating at least one of the PSX era games (usually FFVIII but all get some stick).

As for Steiner, I think FF in general does the 'grumpy older guy' character really well (FFVII Cid, Steiner, Auron etc).

I'm still not getting some of the votes in general though (mainly Steiner vs Tifa and Rinoa vs Red).

Steiner is awesome and Rinoa was an idiot. I thought that was obvious.

With that said, I'm sad that Squall is not going to see later rounds thanks to the Quina groupies.

I'm sorry, but my hatred of Squall outweighs my indifference toward Quina.

I actually wish I could vote for Garnet, but won't for reasons that don't need explaining.

[charliepanayi]

There are even big fans of FFVIII (ones I know anyway) who dislike Rinoa. You're doomed to defeat in these polls if you can't even get 100% support from fans of the game!

[Breine]

Dang, some tough match-ups this time around.
