Freya had a relationship with Fratley 7 years ago and she is 21. Do rat people age faster or...well I don't need to explain what is uncool about the other option. If rat people age faster is Freya supposed to be elderly because she has white hair? Other rat people don't have white hair.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 04:15, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Peanut Gallery[]Was a really tough choice for me, despite my preference for X over VIII. However, I had to give in my love for a Blue Mage (or Blue Mage wanna-be) over a Black Mage. Sure, I never got to really use Limit Breaks in VIII, but still, Blue Magic is Blue Magic. That's not to say I don't consider Lulu a great character, especially when she can decimate groups of enemies. Through every play through, she never left my X party if possible. Will enjoy seeing where this goes. King of Noobs 05:11, December 17, 2012 (UTC) Drake: It is implied Lulu is cold because her boyfriend died tragically and she's not over him. Quistis may still be the less shallow one though.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 03:12, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
I didn't enjoy X as much as VIII, so I may be forgetting something important, but when did Lulu have a badass scene like when Quistis shot down that robot chasing Squall!? :D -yoboom21

I don't really like Minwu's sacrifice because it's really, really stupid. Of course, they both come from games that are just stupid sacrifice after stupid sacrifice, but Minwu's just takes the cake. A powerful white mage would be much more use to the Wild Rose than a single copy of the Ultima Tome, which is so useless it isn't even funny. C A T U S E 14:34, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
@Selkiemaiden, mmmm, Rosa badass. I'll have to think on that one hehehe. Sorry, I like Rosa to an extent, but I think she's opposite of badass. Perhaps Kain and maaaaybe Cecil who she hangs out with, but not Rosa. Razordash21:51, December 5, 2012 (UTC) :D

Peanut Gallery[]@Cylindrus: Not Quina :( C A T U S E 18:33, November 25, 2012 (UTC) @Time Master: It's a popularity contest. How do "logical minds" even come into the equation? Jimcloud 02:35, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
@Jimcloud: I was trying to say that too many people seem to be voting for Freya simply because of her tragic backstory. I think voters should decide who to vote for based on multiple reasons, not just because of a single event/issue that strongly involves emotion. @Some Color Mage, I'll likely not get as heated as I was during the Kuja weeks, because I don't hate Freya; I'd just like to see properly justified votes.--Time Master (talk) 03:05, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
Yes. In the almost universally happy ending of the game. Things getting better doesn't take away from the position Freya was in at that moment. Unfortunately character development and story is one of the biggest reasons to like someone. And IX has a lot of it. I actually like most of IX's character. Although I'm apathetic to Quina and have no opinion of Kuja. Hey, IX had good characters. FFX also had good characters. And I like Auron but I don't think I'd ever vote against Freya. 79.69.193.185 13:25, November 26, 2012 (UTC) I was simply trying to gain justification for the Freya votes. I can't and won't stop people from voting for who they want, why they want. However, the biggest issue I was trying to get at, is the unjustified pro-FFIX slant the DNC has exhibited for a seemingly long time. Don't get me wrong, I'm quite fond of FFIX, its in my top 5 Favorite FF games, in fact. However, what I don't like is blind devotion and rampant fanboyism, although less extreme cases are more common. All I'd like to see are logical voting reasons and justified arguments, whether I agree with them or not. --Time Master (talk) 19:22, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
Much more enjoyable fight. I hate overly one-sided fights. It's like watching a sports game where one team just completely dominates another. No fun. King of Noobs 21:57, November 26, 2012 (UTC) Is it just me or does it seem like bashing whatever game gets popular is the cool thing to do? FFVII used to get a lot of undeserving flak, and now that people are beginning to praise IX it's becoming the new target. Can't we all just accept that each of us has different tastes in games and their characters? At the end of the day we're all Final Fantasy fans here... MATEUS 11:17, November 27, 2012 (UTC)
It seems that I've been taking this entire thing too seriously. It really is just a popularity contest on a website, and by corollary, not real life. And just as Mateus said, we all like Final Fantasy, or we wouldn't be here. We just favor some games over others. As a result, I'll try not to question voting motives, and not challenge any leanings this site may have toward a particular game. I know that I tend to stir up the DNC sometimes with my comments, but I'll try to keep them to a minimum. So, vote how you wish, why you wish, for who you wish. --Time Master (talk) 20:23, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
Now this fight was a very hard decision for me (and all the previous comments didn't help me decide), because both are very good characters in their respective games (and I think that's the reason of the big divergence); In the end I decided not to vote against Auron, I just couldn't do it. Anyway, I'd want to know from you: is Quina a hated character? I thought that (s)he was so funny when I played IX, his/her journey is kind of senseless and crazy, but it is amusing to see.

Peanut Gallery[]Has there ever been a landslide this bad? C A T U S E 17:40, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
I think the problem with Khimari is how his sphere grid is. It's so small, that he ends up having to branch into another character's default grid way too early, while others can generally keep on trucking on their own lines for quite some time, making him loose his uniqueness. Sure, he's your early "pierce weapon" user, but Auron comes along not too much longer, and with his default higher strength stat and path, he can hammer through defenses. Freya, at least, because of the way IX is, is full of unique skills and style. King of Noobs 18:27, November 18, 2012 (UTC) I've never seen anyone getting beaten so badly in a DNC fight before; and I felt that I needed to help the poor guy out. Just as a general question, I'd like to know whether he is losing by such a large margin because he himself is hated, or perhaps Freya is simply liked more. Also, their combat abilities may be a factor as well, as I could never find a definitive sphere grid path for Kimahri. I'm not defending him per se, I'm just intrigued by this data trend. --Time Master (talk) 18:34, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
Kimahri gets credit for my biggest like-to-dislike flip in video games. When you get to Gagazet you realise he's actually a douche. 79.69.206.200 22:39, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
I prefer Freya as a character (she is one of the few female FF characters who isn’t stereotyped as a beautiful girl), but I am a disciple of Red Mage Statscowski.. Logic is the strongest weapon! GoldenChocobo 15:27, November 19, 2012 (UTC) Look at that landslide, HAHAHA. The SirLaguna 23:09, November 21, 2012 (UTC) No, No, No, This isn't how I wanted this battle to go at all. I thought this would be a least close --Pzykosiz (talk) 01:25, November 22, 2012 (UTC)
When I was on the IRC I had someone tell me that the FFWIKI was an upside down world where FF7 was under-rated, and FF9 was over-rated... In time it has proven to be right. But I won't say that's the only reason Freya won, I think freya easily connected with fans because of her several heart breaking moments. Kimahri I think was suppose to be a badass, but if that was true, than Auron over-shadowed him easily. Although I also admit, the same could be said with Vivi overshadowing Freya, in the feel bad area. So I can be wrong. Razordash04:05, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Peanut Gallery[]Personally, I think Kefka would fit right in for a Kingdom Hearts game. What other villain from Final Fantasy would make such a fine Disney villain? He's got the over-the-top personality (like Hades), the magic (like Ursula), the will to destroy (like Maleficent), the manipulative skills (like Jafar, Scar, or Dr. Facilier; if he doesn't appear to have them in Final Fantasy VI, he certainly does in Dissidia 012), the vanity (like the Evil Queen), the complete lack of scruples (like any of them)... Dogurasu (talk) 16:26, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
I think Auron is a pretty shallow character, as he is mostly just a plot device and doesn't have many things (anything?) outside of something to directly to advance the plot. Like for 10 years Auron watched over Tidus in Dream Zanarkand but never once told him what happened to Jecht, prepared him about coming to Spira, taught him to fight with a sword, even if he planned Tidus would somehow battle Sin. This is of course because Tidus needs to be a newbie in Spira so the player can learn alongside with him, but it makes little sense from Auron's pov, especially when he has already witnessed how much in trouble Jecht got in Spira for not knowing anything about it. Everything about him is a bit like that. His little clues about the truth behind Sin act as something to drive the player, but from in-lore pov it just looks like he is messing with Tidus's head on purpose and no reason is given for this. Then in the end Yuna says "you knew this would happen, wouldn't you" and Auron says "if you had known would that have stopped you from coming?" WELL YES ACTUALLY. Like thanks for nothing. Outside of being a plot device he is "mysterious and strong" and that's about it...Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 13:03, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

Week 221: Auron v. Sephiroth[]
VICTOR Auron 29 to 14½ |
A character that has died but just refuses to stay dead. He tends to be very divisive. His proponents claim that he is a deep character with a tearjerking, emotional backstory that continues to fight on despite the disturbing revelations he's had. His detractors feel that he's all posture and no substance, and find that the character doesn't match up to all the praise he gets in the game. Which one am I talking about? | VICTOR Auron 29 to 14½ | |||
