2005 NPC Tournament winner revealed!

[eestlinc]

Announcing the Final Fantasy NPC tournament 2005! Atfer the great success of the 2004 NPC tournament where Beatrix of ff9 defeated Rubicant of ff4, it is time to relive the glory in 2005! Due to some eligibility complications, Beatrix will not be defending her title, but we've got a full slate of baddies and goodies to battle it out.

We need a field of 64 NPCs, however I have 65 that have qualified to participate. Therefore we must have a play-in gmae to determine which of the final two qualifiers get to join the elite field of 64.

This year's play-in game pits X-2's Shinra against VII's Professor Gast. Vote for who gets to join and prepare for the full field to be set! You may vote based on perceived battle strength, perceived coolness, random coin toss, or any other method you prefer (except the rhythm method, who are you trying to fool?)

shinra had a cool name but that was about it...

[Del Murder]

Shinra knew math and told you all kinds of useful stuff!

[eestlinc]

this is why these two were stuck in the play-in. Not so special.

[rubah]

I did not even remember who Gast was when I first read this, so I voted for the stupid little spherebreak freak.

[Old Manus]

Anyone from FFX-2 does not deserve it.

[eestlinc]

Prof Gast is (SPOILER)Aeris's father

[Necronopticous]

Shinra, totally. Especially after a certain discussion with Squall of seeD.

[rubah]

Prof Gast is (SPOILER)Aeris's father

Okay, so even after I thought I remembered who, I really didn't. Shucks.

I like the way that this is still tied up.

[Miriel]

X-2 doesn't exist.

[eestlinc]

Prof Gast is (SPOILER)Aeris's father

Okay, so even after I thought I remembered who, I really didn't. Shucks.

He's also the guy who lives up in icicle inn, except he's dead because someone off and killed him.

...Prof. Gast.

[Masamune·1600]

Shinra has the higher RPI, but that's just because Gast is from a mid-major. I'll go with Gast.

What?

[eestlinc]

since this is the play-in game and noone really cares that much, and the winner faces...Hades, I think we can close this up in a little while, one hour from now. then I can post the first bracket after that.

Go Prof. Gast! <3
