  1. Just because I generally favor gunners over pirates. And also because I think "The Man with the Machine Gun" is such a kick-ass tune. 184.5.189.204 23:22, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

Peanut Gallery[]

Credit for the fanart goes to shima chiyo and roman-ranman.

Seeing a lot of votes for Faris under the rationale that "this is her last LMS fight; let's make it count" for some reason. (Sceada, Selkie, E&T, and Rosenarm all being in that camp.) Lol at the Gilgamesh shout-out, but as for E&T...what is it with you and all your chess references? 184.5.189.204 23:32, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

Well, is it wrong for us all to want to see a heroic character rise to glory? And as for me personally, is it wrong that I should apply the symbolism of the pawn becoming a queen to Faris in this final Last Man Standing fight? EdgarXTerra4ever 20:42, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
I would have though Laguna is more heroic than Faris. He took down the world's most dangerous Sorceress and her regime just to rescue his de-facto adoptive daughter. That being said, he did stick around to be President while his wife died and his children went to an orphanage... Emperor-PSPFieldMATEUS 22:43, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Your second sentence just convinced me that Laguna is the most badass character ever, then in your next sentence you convinced me that Laguna is the biggest douche ever. JBed (talk) 22:48, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Pretty much. Emperor-PSPFieldMATEUS 23:21, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Do you not know better, JBed, than to expect any straightforwardness from a despotic chessmaster-emperor? Do not allow his doublespeak to confuse you, as that, too, is undoubtedly his plan. EdgarXTerra4ever 23:36, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

Random "REPUBLICAN CAR!" reference for the WTF/loll. Very nice arts by the way. Although, I think Faris' posing is a little too... uh, hmm, timid for her. But what do I know, not like I can draw like that. AnonyMan (talk) 02:34, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

I seem to remember someone saying Faris vs Garnet was a bad idea **stares at DSS in a humorously threatening way which looks comical to anyone watching** --Pzykosiz (talk) 09:35, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

Week 239: Barret v. Laguna[]

Barret PortraitNB

Ff8-laguna
VICTOR
Laguna
16 to 22½
Elders of their respective games' main protagonist, these two gunners have personalities and mannerisms that are somewhat unorthodox for the world in which they live. Their adopted daughters have them wrapped around their respective fingers, and they would do anything to keep them safe.
Also, both of them have pierced their left ear. Truly, the similarities are remarkable.

Silverangel123, you need to sign and timestamp properly to have your vote counted, we can tell when you're not using the wiki's inbuilt timestamp. The fact that the time you gave was 2 hours off from the correct UTC time at the time of your edit (11:39, not 9:38) was a dead giveaway. The instructions on how to vote, including the correct syntax for signing, are in the rules at the top of the page. -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 11:54, March 4, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot about UTC at the time. Would this be the correct time stamp? UTC is 0, right? Silverangel123 12:17, March 4, 2013 (UTC

UTC is 0, but the wiki will automatically fill it in for you if you sign with 4 tildes (~~~~) -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 12:24, March 4, 2013 (UTC)

@Ffgames - You've never played Dissidia and calling Faris a meh character? Garland didn't even develop a personality until Dissidia. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 19:25, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

I'm afraid I disagree at some point. The original Final Fantasy have its pillar in Garland, even though we don't know his reasons or backstory. The Warriors of Light (these ones don't have personality, maybe it was intended to make the players project themselves in the main characters) start the game pursuing him, and all the story is about defeating the Four Fiends and their "creator", that is him. Although I can agree that Faris has a lot of development (because the series evolution lead to it) and can't be placed as a worthless character, since she has merit in how original her story/character was (sorry if the text was too long). JCHK 00:03, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
"Pillar"? Oh please. There's no indication that Garland is behind anything until a minute before the final boss fight. Chaos could have been anyone and FFI's story would still work. Garland could have died permanently after the first time you fight him and all that would change is one cutscene. He's nowhere near as crucial to the story as you're making him out to be. -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 23:25, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
OK, maybe the word "pillar" was not well used to describe his role. But what I'm trying to state is that he does have some relevance to the plot, he was not put there for nothing. We can compare his role as an ultimate villain to that of Zemus, in that they did not appear initially as main villains to the player, in the first place they used minions (Four Fiends in both games and Golbez in FFIV), and only in the very later part (almost in the end) they showed themselves; the difference is that Garland also appears in the beggining, what reinforces his role of main villain in the case.

  1. They're both good villains, but I prefer the original Garland. He's the first major villain, Chaos's right hand man is Dissidia, a better hero than antagonist in 8-bit theater, and has had an all-around significant influence on the series; which his opponent knows quite well. --Time Master (talk) 18:48, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Scathe, I refuse to vote until you correct the grievous freudian implications in the current fight organization. Why is the FF9 Garland "the other Garland", why isn't the FF1 Garland "the other Garland", when the Dissidia render of Garland is used and in fact he would not be nearly so popular if not for Dissidia, therefore if any Garland is "the other Garland" it is not the FF9 Garland, it's the other Garland. For that matter to avoid all bias, the phrase "the other Garland" should be avoided all together, "other" implies a lesser, secondary Garland. It would be far more humorous and much less biased to simply say "Votes for Garland" for both. Thank you. Doreiku Kuroofangu 22:33, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Too... many... Garlands... Emperor-PSPFieldMATEUS 02:43, February 11, 2013 (UTC)
IX's Garland derives from I's Garland. While "other" does not indicate derivation, as a derivation he is still lesser.
That said, as the second in the list, "other" still makes sense. "Other" indicates order rather than significance (as the first one can't be the other since no other Garland has been stated at that point).

In Australia, we call flip-flops "thongs", whereas I beleive Americans use the word to describe lingerie. Emperor-PSPFieldMATEUS 03:33, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
Yes. C A T U S E 03:35, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

@MSS - Please. With this week and last week combined, there were only a total of two anti-Prishe rationales, and only then it was because they've never played XI, not because of the dislike of the character herself. If there was any massive number of hate-based votes, we'd do something about it, rest assured. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 22:43, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

I would hope you wouldn't. People can have whatever rationale they want, doing anything about it would be very easily considered power abuse and/or censorship. 79.69.203.75 23:11, February 9, 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, as much as I support doing this for the FEC tourney removing votes based on rationale is just not on. I point to a quote on my userpage:

Aww... well, at least you admit it. Here, have a cookie. King of Noobs 03:16, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

This is a point discussed during Kuja's LMS run, but for those who only know Prishe from D012; her character is extremely flanderized and exaggerated (as are the rest of the characters) for the purpose of that game. Watch some Chains of Promathia vids on yt and see a marked difference. I almost feel the need to distinguish D012 characters as not the same characters as the ones they're derived from. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 00:46, January 30, 2013 (UTC)

The difference being that Kuja stands out as one of the characters most shafted by the Dissidia team, more so in the original than 012, which was generally handled better. By comparison, I found Prishe's character was actually pretty close to her character in FFXI. I didn't notice much of a difference. Unless we're talking about the food gag, in which case, yeah, most people never even saw that <_< Jimcloud 00:50, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
I almost wonder if more people are voting for Prishe because of her Dissidia persona, rather than her original incarnation. Some of the votes certainly seem to indicate that, and it would be an interesting reversal of the Kuja situation. SlamShuffle 21:48, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
Of course that's the case. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 21:54, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
IMO, it's harmless. Then again, I've never played D012 or XI. C A T U S E 01:42, February 2, 2013 (UTC)
Didn't say it was harmful. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 01:57, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

  10. I absolutely adore Balthier. This was really hard for me though because Faris is one of the few truly awesome women in the series.Bahamut knows best (talk) 20:08, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
  11. Hard decision... sorry, Faris :-/ -- Dissicon ff9 Kuj4 Flüstergras 20:23, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

  13. His shot is faster, or his name's not Balthier.  Armageddon11! Dissicon ff12 Gab2 10:53, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

  16. Sorry Faris but Balthier is by far the cooler character. (but awesome artwork for Faris) --Ffgamesftw (talk) 16:42, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
  17. Balthier, 'cause he's badass. MechaKaiser, who else?. (talk) 04:38, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
  18. Because he uses the word fisticuffsSquallisnotemo (talk) 04:50, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
  19. Because he is a gentleman and a scholar. Also he brought a welcome breath of fresh air into Revenant Wings after five chapters of having to suffer with Vaan and Penelo as the main focus. 8bit 05:13, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

  21. He's a sky pirate which is better than a regular pirate! Plus, best character from my favorite game MystRay 21:39, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
  22. I like Balthier. I'm surprised by the number of people who don't like him though. yeah_93 02:39, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
  23. Ha, easy. --Leon95 18:01, January 18, 2013 (UTC)

Am I the only one who thought Balthier was just Final Fantasy XII's Irvine Kinneas? Not that it's a bad thing... I liked Irvine. Emperor-PSPFieldMATEUS 20:51, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

Balthier isn't a pirate, he's a SKY PIRATE FROM THE MIDDLE AGES! So of course he doesn't talk like a pirate. C A T U S E 02:04, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
