EoFF Final Fantasy Census 2010! REVELATIONS!!!!

[Wolf Kanno]

Yeah yeah... so a few months ago I got bored and made the mistake of doing a giant Census of the FF series using the forum as a guinea pig right around the time of finals. So, I learned my mistake and formed a committee of volunteers who will now also fail pre-chem cause they are too busy trying to decipher the meaning of ballots, and throwing out others cause you people can't follow instructions.

So long story short, we came up with the first half of a "bi-annual" survey on the FF series and learn what the people of FF want to see more of. It will have more facts and statistics cause luckily my colleagues actually keep track of that stuff more than I would.

So thanks to the help of VeloZer0, Vivi22, and Flying Arrow; I now present to you the second EoFF survey!

First Part
- First FF Played
- Latest FF Played
- Country of Origin
- Longest Played FF
- Age
- Sex
Second Part
- Favorite story
- Favorite plot twist
- Favorite ending
- Best writing
- Favorite character
- Favorite comedic relief
- Favorite villain
- Favorite evil empire
- Favorite world
- Favorite overall cast

As you can tell, we've dropped the number scheme entirely cause most of you people obviously live in Florida. Instead, it is a write in ballot but luckily you are not required to write at length why you made your choice just simply its name. Though we would like a break from monotony occasionally so I strongly suggest writing your reasoning for the sake of our sanity and it gives us more stuff to post. All entries will be anonymous and confidential.

Please send your census entries to me by Mognet. The deadline for the survey will be a month from now. An official deadline will be posted shortly.

The rest of this thread will be used for questions and speculation. Also, please bug other people on the forum about this. We are trying to beat our old record.

EDIT: I can't believe I forgot this, but I wish to also thank Goldenboko, Del Murder, and Levian for their contributions to creating and helping with the Census.

I don't know if I should post my speculation as I should probably be impartial, but since FFXIII will probably sweep every category it doesn't matter anyway.

Also, I just want to put everyone on notice that if they don't complete the census, Thor will be coming for them. Says so in my sig so it must be true. And he's a bit of a moody god, so I don't think anyone really wants that.

[Del Murder]

Does Final Fantasy Legend count as a Final Fantasy?

[Wolf Kanno]

No. Cause its actually part of the Saga franchise and was only given the FF moniker in the West to sell units. It's not a real FF title I'm afraid.

What's longest played thing mean like what game have you put the most time into or how long have you been playing FF?

What's longest played thing mean like what game have you put the most time into or how long have you been playing FF?

Was wondering about that too. I picked the one I did cause I've beat it the most times and clocked more hours in it. But I have a 127 hour save file on FFX which is the longest I've put into a single FF without restarting.

[Slothy]

To clarify, longest played FF would be the one you've played the most in total. Also, because I realized that most recent FF played might be a little ambiguous (after re-reading Del Murders comments from a few months back when we were planning this that is), consider it to mean the most recent FF you've played for the first time. So if the last time you played an FF you had never played before was FFXIII, go with that. If it was picking up FFIV for the first time a week ago, that'd be your answer.

Everything else should be fairly straightforward, but if anyone wants more clarification on a category go ahead and ask.

[Roto13]

Does this count sequels and spinoffs like The AFter Years and X-2?

[VeloZer0]

Yes.

Also, if you have a specific version in mind other than the original you should indicate that as well.

[Aerith's Knight]

- Sex

Yes, please.

[kotora]

- Sex

Yes, please.

if you'll just bend over please

[Wolf Kanno]

I've gotten a few entries in so far, but people we need more if we're going to be thorough, so keep them coming.

[Del Murder]

Finally did my survey. Now the rest of you do it!

[Rocket Edge]

Did mine a few days ago.

[Freya]

THERE it's done. Hope you're happy WK.
