Cutest Male
The Nominees
Gau - FFVI · Hope Estheim - FFXIII · Laguna Loire - FFVIII · Tidus - FFX · Vivi Ornitier - FFIX · Zidane Tribal - FFIX
Please give a warm welcome to the presenters of this award...
Ashe & Penelo
Ten minutes after presenters are expected to arrive with the award....
Ashe: I apologise, denizens of Final Fantasy for my tardiness here tonight, but I had important business to attend to with Al-Cid Margrace regarding the creature rights abuses act. Apparently, Slavens are now a protected species, so Vaan, no more tanned hides for you I’m afraid!
Slight ripple of laughter from audience.
Ashe: As for the whereabouts of my partner, Penelo, I cannot say. I am sure you will all feel sympathetic for dear Penelo, she has gotten into the wrong crowd and the Judge Magisters believe that she is now part of a dangerous organisation known as the Mafia. While these are dark days for Ivalice, let us not dwell on this and instead focus on the awards this evening. I myself have been around several very attractive men, Balthier being just one of them. However, what defines cuteness? Hope Estheim, ladies and gentlemen, perhaps is the epitome of cuteness! Having already modelled for Prada and having that cute, feminine charm, Hope could very well be a winner - and what of Tidus? I hear that Judge Drace has a particular fondness for Tidus and his lovely Spira tan while Laguna Loire is a sexy hunk with a cute side.
Wolf whistles from audience.
Ashe: Oh, Rikku! Stop it, you little animal! We also have Vivi, whose self-doubt and yearning for friendship definitely makes him a contender, while some of the furries in the audience feel Zidane’s tail is the closest they're going to get to living out their cute, kinky fantasies. But that is enough speeches from me. Having already met with Al-Cid I feel like my tongue has already been rammed down my throat, I should probably drink a potion to make my throat better. Anyway, the golden envelope is...
Seconds pass as Ashe frantically searches for envelope, hushed voices in audience
Ashe: This cannot be happening. This is more embarrassing than believing Ondore’s lies!
Penelo: Aha! My nefarious deeds have succeeded once again! First escaping lynch in Dalmasca, now this! "Oh boy," everyone says to Penelo, "you're too boring to be a main character.” Well, ha ha ha! I get the last laugh! Everyone is expecting to know the winner of Cutest Male, no? But they'll only know if you, Ashe, give me half the worth of your kingdom!
Ashe: But what do you have against me!?
Penelo: Simply that you're above me in the party select screen. I have an immense hatred of being last and being at the bottom really sucks. Now hand it over!
Ashe: Well... *sigh* I guess I have no choice... here....
Ashe happens to be carrying 12,100,400 gil, and hands it over!
Penelo: Now thank you for that. Gee. This is heavy... don’t know how Vaan carries all that loot plus equipment plus gil around... sheesh...
Penelo leaves.
Ashe: Sorry for the delay everyone. The winner of cutest male is...
And the winner is...
Vivi Ornitier

Quina Quen
Quina Quen: I was so delighted when Award Chocobo asked me to do the award for Tastiest Food/Meal. It was an honor for me and I did not want to disappoint him. I have reviewed all the contestants and to make sure it was accurate I had a second helping of each. Here is my review for your enjoyment.
Flan
Flan is a delicacy that is usually served for dessert. I really appreciate dessert since getting through a big dinner can really leave me hungry. This one was pretty good but a little too sweet. Maybe served on top of a deep fried frog would make it better.
Limabean
I have eaten a lot of beans. More than there are feathers on a chocobo. These beans are green like frogs which I appreciate. They are good as a snack on the go but if I was served these as a meal I would be offended and would probably end up eating the wait staff.
Fufu
This may not look very good but it has everything I would need. It is savory and hearty and the best thing is that you can eat it with your hands. I find this most effective since it cuts out the middle man. Plus my fork is usually used for fighting monsters trying to steal my food.
Quesadilla Crepe
This savory crepe blends flavors from multiple regions. This is something I appreciate because I am currently in mixed-heritage relationship. I thought this would taste more like a taco than it did. I liked it but in the end it only made me want a taco.
Ricotta
Like every intelligent thing that ever lived, I love cheese. Ricotta goes best when filling a pasta or bread and I have not really had it plain. After several hand fulls I can say that I am hooked. My next adventure is to try a ricotta filled frog. It would probably be my dream come true.
Romaine Heart lettuce
I stopped eating leaves after that time I ate poison oak. Plus there is no sport in trying to catch a tree for your dinner. I did try these for this event but I did not like them. Maybe it would have been better in a salad with some bacon, cheese, frog legs, and a whole lot of creamy dressing.
Raita
This item is considered a dip and goes best when you have something to dip in it. I will give you one guess what I used to dip. That's right, frogs! I can not believe you all know me so well. It is like you are all my best friends. Any way, this was delicious and I went through 15 frogs before I got to the bottom of the bowl.
Tofu Lobster
I will have to say that this is an odd combination even for me and I was surprised to find it on the list. After trying 5 or 6 helpings (had to be sure) I can say that it is pretty good. I guess lobster is like frogs since anything goes well with it.
Award Chocobo: Psst! Quina! You're supposed to talk about the nominees for Sexiest Female! Fran, Lightning, Lulu, Quistis, Rikku, Rinoa, Rydia and Tifa!
Quina: I just did! You not listening!? The winner is...

Edward & Golbez
Edward: And now, for the most significant award of the event, which rewards the greatest music of our worlds with boundless prestige~! It is the one...the only...Best Song!
Golbez: ... Now do you people understand why I bombed the stuffing out of his country?
Edward: The candidates:
The FFVI Opera House orchestra being playing Aerith's Theme.
Edward: *wipes away a tear* Such a poignant, moving theme! How could anyone fail to be inspired?
Golbez: Easy: By not being a wanker.
The orchestra change a page and Answers is played.
Golbez: Actually, this song isn't half bad. Brooding and melancholy, just the way I like it.
Edward: You would approve of any song that raises the suicide rate by a statistically significant margin wherever it is played.
The music then shifts to Battle on the Big Bridge.
Edward: A powerful, stirring anthem! With every note, it raises spirits and martial wrath! The perfect theme to play while shooting down the Red Wings!
Golbez: Yeah, that really worked out well for you, didn't it?
A piano solo kicks in for Eyes on Me.
Golbez: Complete rubbish. This is the kind of song that weak-willed fool Kain would like.
Edward: *sighing* Oh, Anna...
Suddenly, Liberi Fatali catches everyone's attention.
Edward: An upbeat, powerful theme. The Latin chanting gives it a certain...I don't know what...
Golbez: Incomprehensibility?
Melodies of Life is sung.
Golbez: If this song gets any more cloying I swear I will literally puke.
Edward: It is so...rich, so poignant...LIFE IS WONDERFUL!
Golbez: *vomits all over Edward*
The song One Winged Angel bursts into life.
Golbez: Bells, sparks, Italy, eat a bell, Batman pees
Edward: Sephiroth!
The orchestra switch over to Rose of May.
Golbez: Let me guess, Edward: Poignant, moving, and beautiful?
Edward: No, even I think this song sucks.
The sounds of Suteki Da Ne flow through the Opera House.
Edward: This sounds like a song I'd write: fraught with emotion, and well placed changes of tempo. I only wonder what the words mean?
Golbez: It's a recipe for General Tso's Chicken.
Terra'a Theme meets the ears of all in attendance.
Edward: OK, big reveal time: I actually did write this song, but my version was better. Why did Uematsu change it to piano instead of harp?
Golbez: Because the 16th century is over?
The orchestra finish off with You're Not Alone.
Golbez: This one is actually quite good. It's got enough energy to bomb a country to.
Edward: What, you mean there's actually a song you don't hate?
Golbez: I'll have to think on that. Come on, let's just announce this thing. And the winner is...
And the winner is...
One Winged Angel

The Nominees
Alexander · Anima · Bahamut · Carbuncle · Doomtrain · Ifrit · Odin · Shiva
Please give a warm welcome to the presenter of this award...
Rydia
Rydia: Teehee! Rydia here! I'm going to introduce all my friends from the Summon world to all of you before one of them is given a fantastic award. I'm so excited to this because I got to meet so many of these fine summons while in the summon world! Let me tell you, most of them are pretty nice monsters really! Assuming you can get over hideous apparences, which was pretty easy for me to do after traveling with Dark Knight Cecil! Time to introduce my buddies!
AlexanderI may have not gotten to meet Alexander in my world, but holy poo does he look like a badass! A summon that is an entire Castle? Just... wow! Zemus would've been in for a surprise if I summoned that on him! I've heard that in some worlds, Alexander is even more powerful than Bahamut. That's crazy. His powerful signature move is Divine Judgement!
AnimaI sense much sadness from this one . However, holy crap the scene in the Blitzball arena from Final Fantasy X? All those monsters just *poof* gone! Who didn't want this fearsome lady on their team? I bet most people start a pure use Anima strategy as soon as they got her! You know I'm almost questioning if my game's summons where underpowered after these two! Her signature move in the one game she was in was "Oblivion".
BahamutBahamut! Although Bahamut did not stay with us in the land of summons I'd hear about him all the time from Leviathan! He's super cool and has been in all the games since the first! Because he's the best and you all should've voted for him. Sorry, suppose to be impartial! His awesome-tastic signature move is Mega-Flare!
CarbuncleOH MY GOD. IT IS SO CUTE. I LOVE IT'S CHOICE OF COLORS. IT'S SO FLUFFY I COULD DIE. HIS SIGNATURE MOVE IS FLUFFY. I MEAN. UH. RUBY LIGHT.
DoomtrainI'm going off the rails on a doom train! :sing: Although a bit weird looking, I've heard this guy was one of the most useful summons of all of Final Fantasy VIII!
IfritI've had some experience summoning Ifrit! He's fire still kind of scares me... But he definitely is strong and intimidating! I can understand how he got some nominations! His signature move is Hellfire!
OdinOdin! He has a habit of testing a Summoner before joining him or her! He's definitely no push over. The power to instantly kill your foes though? Pretty darn cool if I do say so myself! His signature move is Zantetsuken!
ShivaShiva is a sexy mama! Her signature move is Diamond Dust! Women gotta have their diamonds! She was recently declared summon of the month - we'll see if that gave her an edge going into the voting!
And now it's time to find out who won! The winner is...
And the winner is...
Bahamut
