EoFF Final Fantasy Census 2010! REVELATIONS!!!!

[Elskidor]

Isn't it too late?

[Wolf Kanno]

No, we've been too busy with holidays and Ciddies to finalize everything so feel free to bring in your submissions or I will torture you with scantily clad pictures of Raistlin.

[MJN SEIFER]

Sorry I thought this was PM.

[Wolf Kanno]

Just to let everyone know, we are still accepting submissions for this. So if you haven't already, feel free to reply cause we may end the submission faze in the near future.

It's not really a census of 2010 if you're using results from 2011

[VeloZer0]

And it isn't really a 2011 Car if it is sold in 2010.

[Wolf Kanno]

We're closed.

[Wolf Kanno]

Well, the numbers have been crunched, the alcohol has worn off, and the census committee has awaken from our long drunken celebration of a job well done, up until we realized we started the party a bit early and forgot to post the results. So I'm here to announce that results will finally be posted seeing as how we are not competing with any other event that I'm aware of.

Begin speculation...

[Del Murder]

Yay!

[Heath]

I reckon the most popular FF will prove to be FF:MQ. I fail to see how it could be anything else.

[Slothy]

Results time bitches!

But it wouldn't be any fun to just blurt them out. We need to make you all suffer a bit as we drag this thing out for whole minutes. So before getting to the results of the voting in each category, we've got some tidbits of info here that were pulled from all of the data gathered by our top team of statistician monkeys (aka: Flying Arrow with a modest amount of help from moi):

33 people responded to the census, making voter turnout slightly better than the last Canadian election. Of those, the average age was 23 years old.
-18 (54.5%) were from North America
- 8 (24%) were from the UK
- There's nothing outside of North America and the UK therefore the other 7 people must have forgotten to put their nationality.
- 29 (87.9%) were males; 4 (12.1%) were that other sex created solely to nag the males.
- 63% of users who began playing FF in the SNES era began with FFIV
- 21 (63.6%) young whipper snappers began playing FF on the PSX, 11 starting with FFVII, 6 with FFVIII and 4 with FFIX
- Only one other person was awesome like me and either started, or at least owned up to starting with the series by playing Mystic Quest

Now because I'm not totally evil, I will give a few actual results. Going in reverse order just because I can:
Favourite Overall Cast
The winner here by what I found to be a surprisingly slim margin was FFVI with 10 votes (30.3%). Trailing very closely in second place was the also awesome and very deserving FFIX with 9 votes (27.3%) just barely missing out on a tie for first. Third place was FFVII with 5 votes, proving that 15.2% of respondents have no taste.

Favourite World:
This one resulted in a tie for first between two very deserving competitors, FFIX and Ivalice/XII each with 8 votes (24.2%). There was some controversy here as it's unclear whether those who voted for Ivalice specifically meant Tactics or the world across the entire Ivalice Alliance series of games, with the same confusion arising from the votes for XII. In the end though, we lumped them all together perhaps leaving it's standing at number 1 in question. Will these two duke it out again? Meh, probably not. But if they do it will be the battle of the century damn it. Following these two heavy weights of depth, culture and history was another tie between VII and X with 5 votes (15.2% each). Unless you buy the idea that they're directly connected, in which case VII/X just won!

More to come tomorrow if I'm not home to late. Pray for my swift victory (or defeat, whatever works) in a game of heroclix tomorrow night if you want more results before Thor's day. But to cap it off, here are the full standings for the two categories above:

Favourite Cast:
1) VI: 10 (30.3%)
2) IX: 9 (27.3%)
3) VII: 5 (15.2%)
4) IV: 2 (6.1%)
4) X: 2 (6.1%)
6) V: 1 (3%)
6) Tactics: 1 (3%)
6) VIII: 1 (3%)
6) XII: 1 (3%)
6) XIII: 1 (3%)

Favourite World:
1) IX: 8 (24.2%)
1) Ivalice/XII: 8 (24.2%)
2) VII: 5 (15.2%)
2) X: 5 (15.2%)
3) VI: 3 (9.1%)
3) VIII: 3 (9.1%)
4) XI: 1 (3%)

Glad to see FFIX getting due appreciation!

Also laughed at the FF:MQ thing. That wasn't even me! (SPOILER)I've never even played it

[Slothy]

Meant to have more results up by now but a flu has been knocking me on my ass and kicking my teeth in. More to come tomorrow though whether I still feel like sleeping 25 hours a day or not.

[Jiro]

I encourage you to destroy the flu with your mighty hammer of justice and return to us well to deliver more results!

[Del Murder]

I like the unbiased way the results were presented.

Let's see more!
