The Viewer's Box

For purposes of this fight, since the columns are so tiny, please make your voting rationale short. Or remember we have the viewer's box for discussing fights. :) Doreiku Kuroofangu 00:01, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Damn, no red mages Clarent  (talk/ contribs) 04:15, July 15, 2011 (UTC) ``

I had considered it in place of Summoner, but I felt the diversity between these four worked better. Doreiku Kuroofangu 04:20, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
It's not just Red Mages that are missing... what about Time Mages and Green Mages? Also, since you're counting Summoners as a type of mage, what about Elementalists, Geomancers and... well, any others that I might have forgotten? :P -- Sorceror Nobody Flan 14:19, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
BARDS! Jimcloud 14:30, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
True on all counts SN, but none of those except the Time Mage are as widely known or used in the series as these four. Doreiku Kuroofangu 16:48, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, take them one by one:

White Mage: Heals... and ... thats all... anyways, they are only annoying for me!
Summoner: I'd happily choose them, because summoning is a beautiful part of magic, but it is extremely costly, and summons are risky to use, because many times, they don't work as well, as we'd expect!
Blue Mage: Well, this job certainly looks intresting, but it's not as easy to use, as it seems. Going around, searching for certain monsters, then get hit by them, and at the end, we don't know how to use them... Ok... Weird...

And the vote goes to:

Black Mage: The shady faced little sprite became the No°1 Icon of FF games, and no wonder, it still acts pretty good. Magic has always been stable. All of us know the difference between a FIRE and a FIRAGA spell, and we know what we can expect from them too... Healing is not always necesarry, summoning can be risky, and blue magic is hard to use, but a simple spell like BLIZZAGA, can wipe out our enemies easily. Soooo... Easy to use, easy to get used to, and always looks pretty good... ohh, and by the way, they can equip daggers and knives, so it can also cause some major physical damage, unlike the other mages .... :-D --Lonely Wild Rose Rose 21:21, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Votes for Ashe

  2. One hundred times yes. Always. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 02:52, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
  3. Story-wise:tie. Battle-wise:Ashe. Lightning can only be with Fang and Hope unless you are dumb enough to do secondary roles early. Where as Ashe, Balthier, and Vaan can kill anythingAlVan 06:27, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
  4. FFXII > FFXIII.  Armageddon11! Dissicon ff12 Gab2 08:55, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
  5. The decisions that Princess Ashe makes and the role she plays in changing the fate of Ivalice to liberate her home, Dalmasca is the reason why she gets the vote. SidVI Dissicon ff7 Tifa2 12:23, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
  6. Ashe had a unique role and storyline in her group of six compared to Lightning, I think. Also Time Mage ^^ 8bit 15:48, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
  7. ^ What they all said. Lady Ashelia all the way. And this was going to be this weeks fight in the Den. Back to the drawing board. >.<  TheBlueDragoon Dissicon ff10 Yun106:46, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
  8. ....Why...Why does Lightning have to be everywhere? WHYYYY? She is not that good, she is not that original, she is not such a huge invention at all! I stick with Ashee, because she is pretty at least.--Lonely Wild Rose Rose 11:15, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

  7. Perhaps if I could judge Ashe on more than the beginning of the manga (where she is just plain useless and whiny) and the early parts of XII (where she doesn't strike me as special), my vote would be different. But alas, I have still to understand Gambits and finish XII, and right now learning for my exams has priority. So I'll stick with the one that has the most awesome character theme. MirrorshardSceada 09:54, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
  8. This is a very hard decision but i like FFXIII better.VentusFreakFF12Montblanc 10:39, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

  11. All credit to Ashe, but I don't think my vote surprises anyone -- Sorceror Nobody Flan 17:51, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
  12. This was a hard choice, but even though XII is the better game, Lightning is the better character. MystRay 19:33, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

The Viewer's Box

Because many people on the IRC have brought it up and made remarks to the implication they are displeased, two things to address about the Fae-TA fight result:

  1. - You obviously don't get the joke behind the result.
  2. - What the heck were you doing take that fight seriously in the first place?

Thank you. Doreiku Kuroofangu 02:03, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

I thought it was kinda funny at first, considering the massive number of votes against TA. But I suppose it's best to not anger one of the folks in charge, ne? King of Noobs 03:48, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
Not sure who you mean - Fae knew I was gonna do it, I don't care one way or the other if you guys dislike me for it, and I doubt TA cares. Doreiku Kuroofangu 04:05, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
