Garnet & Zidane

Zidane and Garnet from Gaia IX walk together onstage to the podium for their speech on Best Voice.

Zidane: The Gods started up the requirement for great, epic adventures within the Final Fantasy Multiverse a mere 25 years ago, and during the early years, voices in Final Fantasy worlds were largely unheard of.

Garnet: Exactly, and voices in Final Fantasy had not started until the tenth legend - in 2001!

Zidane: Since then, voices have been a feature in later Final Fantasy tales. We're here to present the award for Best Voice award!.

Garnet: You're right. Isn't it horrible that the game we're both in didn't feature voices, Zidane?

Zidane: I know! I bet your voice would be totally babe-alicious, Dagger!

Garnet: *blushes* You would have a cute voice yourself, Zidane.

Zidane: No way, mine would be bad ass and awesome.

Garnet: But not as masculine as our first nominee from Final Fantasy X, Auron.

Zidane: Puh-lease, Dagger! His voice is nothing compared to the smooth voice of Ivalice's sky pirate, Balthier. If I had a voice, mine would sound just like his! Except much more sexier. *nudges Garnet*

Garnet: Zidane, please. Anyway, our next nominee is from Gran Pulse - Caius Ballad. He has a very nice voice from what I've heard.

Zidane: But not nicer than our next nominee Lightning, who has one of the sexiest voices in the FF Multiverse. I could listen to her all day.

Garnet: What about mine?

Zidane: Dagger, you don't have a voice!

Garnet: I lost my voice at one point, yes, but I do have a voice.

Zidane: In my head, you have the best voice, my dear.

Garnet: Moving along, our next nominee is Sazh Katzroy.

Zidane: Now there's a voice that's smooth and easy on the ears. I gotta love me a strong, soulful voice. He and our following nominee are from the same world. Next up is Snow Villiers. I've got one word to say about him.

Garnet: Please do share with us, Zidane.[/B]

Zidane: Why certainly, Dagger. *clears throat* STEELGUARD!

Garnet: *facepalms* And finally, our last nominee is Wakka from Spira.

Zidane: What a great cast of nominees for Best Voice! I can't wait to find out who wins!

Garnet: Neither can I. I have the envelope right here with me, so let's see who won?

Garnet & Zidane: And the winner goes to...

[The Man]

Auron.

Granted, I haven't played XII or XIII, but he's the only FF character I've heard whose voice was actually good.

Apparently Garnet didn't like it when he was "escorting" Rydia earlier.

And the winner is...
Auron

The right person won

[Futan]

Okay, I actually kind of agree with that. :x Balthier DID have the best dialogue but I think Auron does have a better voice. Not rigged. >___>

[Leen-Leen]

Aww yeah! Sing to me, Auron

[Agent Proto]

Relevant.

I hope the tallies are posted after all this is done. It will be very interesting to see them and close calls.

Don Corneo

Don Corneo: Woohoo! It's time for the Cutest Female award, yeowza! And who better to judge the nominations than yours truly, the connoisseur of love, the capo of cuties...the Don himself! Woohoo! That's right pussycats, Corneo is here and he's going to be taking one of you lovelies home with him to... ah... wait. No. I can't do this. Who am I kidding. Look Skotch, Kotch, I'm grateful that you invited me here for this, even if it meant coming to this opera place. And I know what you're trying to do. But it's just not the same anymore. I'm not the same. Ever since... that incident long ago...

Look, my fellow characters, i'm sorry for holding up your ceremony and everything, but it's been a difficult time for me, you know. Let me tell you my sad tale...

...


...


...


...and they just don't do it for me anymore. Not like they used to. I mean- What? What do you mean shut up, you don't care?! Do you know who you're talking to here?! Oh what's the use. Let's just get this over with. Come on, line 'em up in front of me so I can go back home to Sector 6. Woo hoo lovely women who have we got first yadda yadda ect ect.



Hmmm---Hmmmmmm! Yes this is... no, it isn't. Seriously guys. I mean look, don't get me wrong, they're all perfectly cute, but they're just not what I'm looking for these days. I mean for starters, Aeris? Really? I already turned her down once for something better, so why would you bring her to me again? And Garnet and Rydia... I mean I'm not saying they're bad, but couldn't you have found someone with broader shoulders? Just a tint of facial hair? No? Ugh. Send them away, bring in the next lot.



Oooh boy. I'm actually kind of depressed. Looking at these two fine, energetic young cuties reminds me of my old self. The me who would have commit heinous crimes to make one of these fine young specimens spend the night in my bed chamber. I can see the looks they're getting from some of the audience and... that used to be me. No, no. Remove them from my sight. Let's hurry and get this over with. Who else have we got?



...?! Wait, what? Are you serious? Christ, I know I said I used to be the type of guy who would commit a crime but not THAT! What are you doing bringing these two out here in front of me? You do realise who I am don't you? Good god, people. No, no girls. It's not you. You're both very lovely. Please don't cry. Go on, go home. Hoooo boy. Could this day actually get any worse?



...Ew. What. No. Oh god. Please, stop talking. Look girly, I'm a mobster, I know bad people and I can do bad thin-UGH. For the love of god, shut up! What is that accent? OH GOD. SOMEONE PLEASE GET HER AWAY FROM ME.

This whole thing has been a bust. I'm just going to get out of here and go home. I don't know why I even agreed to come to this place. I mean, look at all of you! What right to any of you have to judge other peoples cuteness? Wherever I look, all I can see are the dregs of human soci...

Hmmm? Hmmm--hmmm! Yes... yes! Gya-ha-ha-ha! *furious hip wiggling*

Say, Award Chocobo, you're the guy in charge right? Before you get on with the ceremony, let me ask you a question. Why would a guy like me who hasn't enjoyed any of this so far or any of the women paraded before me suddenly be so happy?

1. Because he's lost his mind.
2. Because he's spotted the "girl" of his dreams.
3. Because he's sure he'll win.

Award Chocobo: Uhm... number two?

Don Corneo: Wooohooo! Exactly!! Yes yes, splendid splendid! Someone bring that fine young pussycat over to me! No, no, that one! Yes her! Come on over, honey!



Well, well, well!!! This must be the Don's lucky day. You're exactly the kind of healthy young girl I've been looking for ever since that incident. What's your name, baby? "Kuja", you say? Hmmm---hmmm. Yes I understand. Your type of woman always did prefer to use a performance name, right? That's fine with me baby! Why don't you say we get out of this dump and head back to my mansion? I'll treat you just right. And when we get there, what will you do for me? Anything? Well in that case... I want a kiss. A KISS! WOOOOOHOOOO! Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to come here after all! Thanks, everyone! Enjoy your awards! I know I'm going to enjoy my night! Oh, oh, almost forgot - and the winner is...
