Hey look at all these threads ranking various aspects of the fandom. Are you like me and think THEY'RE ALL SO smurfING BORING???

Yes?

ok lets do something interesting then

PM me some nominations! For the sake of simplicity, throw in which Final Fantasy it's from, too. We have actually quite a lot of ground to cover, so I'm not going to limit nominations! Send me literally all the musics you like! 10 is a good number if you want/need a suggestion.

Anything less than 200 candidates is gonna be underwhelming, and also that's a lot of candidates so I'll hold a qualifying round between nominations and eliminations to weed out the jerks who just sent me entire OSTs. I have a plan, do not fear!

[Psychotic]

Hell yes. This is going to take some thought.

[Egami]

This would be a cool follow up to the current EoFF ranks, I think. I'll try and gather my nominations and send them your way today

[WildRaubtier]

Feel free to send in nominations as you think of them!

I already worked mine out. I got 60

[Psychotic]

Yeah I just bashed out about 60 too. More people should take part in this, it's gonna be great.

[WildRaubtier]

60 noms and you didnt even go into side games! Those are a thing too, you know!

[Night Fury]

I've sent a few in, I'll try and think of more too!

[Egami]

Alright, just sent mine in

I agree we need more people jumping into this, come on free Kupo Nuts for all

[WildRaubtier]

5 people have submitted nominations so far!

199 Nominations
147 Unique track titles
1 Track submitted by everyone so far! (I'm gonna let it skip the qualifying round if it can keep that up)

Since there's enough nominees and a lot of ground to cover, expect the first Qualifying round to start within the next 12 hours. Nominations will remain open, of course!

You can just go ahead and give "One Winged Angel" a bye to the finals.

As a huge, huge FF music fan, I definitely need to get together a nomination list for you. But as a huge, huge FF music fan, I can't imagine it being less than 200 songs long.

[WildRaubtier]

I can't imagine it being less than 200 songs long.

so?

[Loony BoB]

I will do what I can to get a list to you, Kent, this is a great idea.

EDIT: Do you have a plan to take care of the songs that appear in multiple titles? I mean, I hope we don't end up with two (or more) different Final Fantasy Theme songs in the later stages. Would be good to just figure out which is best early on, and then use that as the only one that goes into the knockout stage (assuming there is one).

[WildRaubtier]

Only just noticed your edit. You should have just double posted!

Not that it seems like its going to happen, but my reasoning is that each iteration is its own entity for the sake of this competition. Ergo, if both nominated versions of Battle on the Big Bridge (which may happen) or the victory fanfare (yeah right!) get through, they'll take up a single entry each.

[WildRaubtier]

Last call for nominations! Remember, they may be used for tie breaking purposes as well!

[WildRaubtier]

Oh wow, a bite

You know what that means? Nominations extended! Let's go for an even 300 entries! (There'll be 300 anyway, I'm just gonna look for more nominations of my own if no one else offers any)
