Glad this is being done, I look forward to seeing how well people can predict this. It's looking very open for most of the Ciddies, so it'll be a close call!

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 morestupidnice 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.

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
Yosh</>itaka Amano
Again, Nomura's better, but I expect EoFF to pick the second best.
(SPOILER) Jiro to sweep, Sephex gets nothing.

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.
Oh, don't worry about it. No rush. XD
I've got em tallied and counted.
