Final Fantasy Wiki:Dragon's Neck Colosseum

Click here to nominate or vote for fights to be held in the DNC in the future.

Uwee hee hee hee! Welcome, editors, to the Dragon's Neck Colosseum! My name is Ultros the receptionist, and I'm taking bets as to who will win in a tussle between two characters from the Final Fantasy series! The winner gets, well, nothing. It's more of a poll, really. The Colosseum owner stuck me on this duty after Kefka was defeated, but I need the money! So what are you waiting for? Get voting! Remember, you can remain anonymous!

Last Man Standing

Last Man Standing is a spinoff of the original Dragon's Neck Colosseum. It is a fight between the previous victor of Last Man Standing and victor of the previous DNC fight. It occurs every other week; in other terms, it happens when the normal DNC fights are not going on. It has the same rules as the normal fights, with a few exceptions:

• If the two opponents tie, the both characters will be retired, and two new fighters will appear.
• If a character wins 5 Last Man Standing fights in a row, he or she will be retired from LMS and two new battlers will vie for the coveted champion spot.
• Sometimes a previous Last Man Standing champion may be revived to fight against the current champion. This will happen if the previous DNC winner is incompatible with LMS (i.e. if the previous winner was a game mechanic, a summon, or an enemy) or for special celebrations.

Peanut Gallery That incomparable feeling when you wake up from sleep and realize you still haven't updated the DNC. It was just one of those days. Are Sundays always like that? I digress. Jimcloud 08:49, February 24, 2014 (UTC) seems to be. what's the official update time for DNC? --Pzykosiz (talk) 10:30, February 24, 2014 (UTC) Having an official update time would imply that we can coordinate ourselves. -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 10:41, February 24, 2014 (UTC) The official update time for the DNC is the 24-hour period between Saturday and Monday. Running on EST, since conveniently all members of the DNC committee live in that time zone. Jimcloud 10:49, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

Week 287: Hope v. Rydia

VICTOR Rydia 12 to 16	Here we have two characters who lost their mothers early in the game and are forced to deal with that loss. Both blame certain party members for their mothers' deaths but eventually warm up to the party (somewhat literally in Rydia case. Y'know with the whole thing about the fire spell…never mind). Actually, that's sorta a depressing topic. Alright, I'll amend it slightly. Hope v. Rydia, the battle of questionable fashion choices! Will the strangely patterned shirt or the weird metal scarf tights thing win? Which will be the last article of clothing standing? Wait, this isn't a round of Last Man Standing. Oh well, the statement still stands.				VICTOR Rydia 12 to 16
Votes for Hope King of Noobs 03:17, February 17, 2014 (UTC) Everyone on the Wiki knows how much I adore Rydia. But to be honest with myself, I wouldn't rank her as one of my favorite characters if not for her amazing sex appeal, in terms of personality FF4 gave her little to work with. Hope on the other hand is an awesome badass and a strong character arc, and one of my fav males of the series. Drake Clawfang (talk) 03:19, February 17, 2014 (UTC) In XIII-2, Hope became Lord of Science. In TAY, Rydia became a crushing disappointment. :( -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 03:31, February 17, 2014 (UTC) --Kuja9001 (talk) 04:04, February 17, 2014 (UTC) SetzerLeonhart (talk) 04:22, February 17, 2014 (UTC) Sorry Rydia, but I am siding with Hope, who is just awesome! :) TMG- Why? (talk) 10:45, February 17, 2014 (UTC) I'm Happy to see Hope has some votes I figured everyone would be bashing him even though he is a legitimately useful and important character. User:L'cieBeast 11:43, February 17, 2014(UTC) I'm not sure if Hope's shirt is great or not. I'm still voting for it. Oh, and him too, I guess. ScatheMote 19:48, February 17, 2014 (UTC) Hope is really underrated. And the FFXIII version of Alexander is really cool. GoldenChocobo 10:02, February 19, 2014 (UTC) I like Rydia, but I like Hope more. At least in XIII and XIII-2, don't know about LR yet ... whatever, I'm still voting for him. - Rosa Farrell 10:16, February 20, 2014 (UTC) If you know me in the slightest, this vote was obvious.  Primarch Dysley  08:26, February 22, 2014 (UTC) Alexander is way cooler then anything Rydia can summon hahaha Lycropath (talk) 21:30, February 23, 2014 (UTC) Anonymous Votes			Votes for Rydia what are you wearing C A T U S E 03:19, February 17, 2014 (UTC) My favourite Summoner in the FF series Wyvern777 (talk) 03:26, February 17, 2014 (UTC) --ClixPsi (talk) 03:27, February 17, 2014 (UTC) Josejoejoey (talk) 04:02, February 17, 2014 (UTC) Pzykosiz (talk) 05:02, February 17, 2014 (UTC) Hope or Nope?

Peanut Gallery The more I stare at Hope's picture, the more I think he looks like someone at my job... Not sure if I should find that fascinating or be a little freaked out. King of Noobs 21:28, February 17, 2014 (UTC) If only the protagonists in The Bouncer wore regular ass clothing while they punched people to death. They wouldn't look as goofy. They'd probably still suck at their job though. Ha ha--AnonyMan (talk) 23:47, February 17, 2014 (UTC) @AnonyMan: No one can be Pascal but Pascal. The world can only handle so much of someone like THAT. King of Noobs 02:27, February 18, 2014 (UTC) If this was going to be a contest about clothes, we should have called Lulu. How she manages to put all those belts is still a mystery for me. P.S.:Talking about clothes, I'd like to say to anyone that is not aware of it: there is a contest in the Fashion Wikia talking about our beloved characters clothing, which can be acessed by this page. They're choosing the best dressed FF character, and are on nomination stage now; the movement there is very low until now (I think they would appreciate our participation).

Week 286: Last Man Standing Round 55: Garnet v. Eiko

File:Garnet Til Alexandros XVII character.jpg				File:Eiko Carol character.jpg
CHALLENGER GARNET FINAL FANTASY IX VICTORY 12 to 4		LAST MAN STANDING		CHALLENGER EIKO FINAL FANTASY IX DEFEAT 12 to 4
In this match, defending champion Garnet takes on fellow Gaian summoner Eiko in a match to determine the true summoner/white mage of the party. (And possibly also to determine the victor in the love triangle with Zidane.) Spells and Eidolons are likely to fly in this match between the ladies. Who will win, the Summoner with a side of White Mage, or the White Mage with a side of Summoner? Who will be the Last Man Standing?
Votes for Garnet I've always liked summoners in the series and Garnet is always one of my favorites only beaten out by Rydia and Yuna for the best summoner imo --Ffgamesftw (talk) 07:06, February 10, 2014 (UTC) -- Flüstergras 09:02, February 10, 2014 (UTC) --ClixPsi (talk) 11:58, February 10, 2014 (UTC) King of Noobs 13:33, February 10, 2014 (UTC) Because she's not annoying and a liar and a brat.--Kierandell1409 (talk) 06:40, February 11, 2014 (UTC) Rosa Farrell 09:24, February 11, 2014 (UTC) The Broncos wear orange. --BlueHighwindツ 20:16, February 12, 2014 (UTC) Gotta be Dagger.

She has less but more interesting Eidolons. More importantly she never became a nuisance. --AnonyMan (talk) 23:55, February 10, 2014 (UTC) Pzykosiz (talk) 02:09, February 11, 2014 (UTC) Eiko is just more useful - especially at the end of the game, where white magic counts most. Garnet's okay, but waiting 2 minutes for Ark to use it's special attack is NOT fun. CylindrusAltum 20:07, February 11, 2014 (UTC) Jimcloud 22:27, February 16, 2014 (UTC) Anonymous Votes
Peanut Gallery That incomparable feeling you get when you lay down to go to sleep and realize you still haven't updated the DNC. 'M gonna just go wish myself to sleep right now... Jimcloud 06:56, February 10, 2014 (UTC) "Spells and Eidoleons are going to be flying around during this match." Since when has an aim of a battle been to heal your opponent? (Yes, I know about the spell Holy, and how it is offensive white magic) but most white magic is healing magic. TMG- Why? (talk) 08:31, February 10, 2014 (UTC) Protective magic, curing after the aforementioned Eidolons? It's not like it'd be useless. If, however, you object to the idea of spells flying if they're going to be self-targeting, then my response to you is a friendly, gracious punch to the face. I am running on crazy from sleep deprivation, I'll totally do it. Jimcloud 08:58, February 10, 2014 (UTC) Reflect. -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 09:50, February 10, 2014 (UTC) Good Point. That's true. I would love to see this fight in real life now. I think Garnet would win, due to having Bahamut and Odin (In order to spam Zantetsuken :D ) Yes, Eiko has more white magic, so can heal herself, but she cannot heal an instant death attack... TMG- Why? (talk) 20:32, February 10, 2014 (UTC) Didn't IX have Auto-Life? Could be thinkin' of the wrong game, I do it plenty of times. King of Noobs 22:20, February 10, 2014 (UTC) ^Yes. Yes, it does. Eiko also has Phoenix. Guess who doesn't have them features? I see a stalemate that ends with both of them KO'd then Eiko gets up and walks away like a pimp.--AnonyMan (talk) 00:00, February 11, 2014 (UTC)

Week 285: Eiko v. Kimahri

VICTOR Eiko 12½ to 9	Horns. Did you know that Aristotle had one of the first mentions of unicorns? He was actually describing a kind of antelope, which very much has two horns. Maybe if you look at it from the wrong angle, but even then you'd have to be pretty nearsighted. Of course, Aristotle wasn't actually there and was just describing what he had heard, which was all certainly total lies. In addition, even though the unicorn is obviously fictitious, the unicorn is the national animal of Scotland. It's not the only mythological creature to be the national animal; the national animal of Bhutan is Druk the Thunder Dragon, who, while also sounding seriously awesome, is also featured on its flag. He doesn't have a horn, though. Oh right, I was talking about horns. Two characters have horns. They butt heads. But who will win?				VICTOR Eiko 12½ to 9
Votes for Eiko Even if you dislike her, Eiko at least had a personality. What did Kimahri ever offer in terms of character? Tidus didn't even know he could speak until like, they got the third Aeon. Drake Clawfang (talk) 02:07, February 4, 2014 (UTC) In the land of the blind the one-horned girl is king. --BlueHighwindツ 02:11, February 4, 2014 (UTC) SetzerLeonhart (talk) 04:10, February 4, 2014 (UTC) Pzykosiz (talk) 04:32, February 4, 2014 (UTC) --ClixPsi (talk) 04:43, February 4, 2014 (UTC) -- Flüstergras 13:56, February 4, 2014 (UTC) What kind of girls do you like?

CylindrusAltum 19:50, February 4, 2014 (UTC) I'm no fan of either character, but I really dislike Kimahri. Eiko is annoying, but at least she has a human face and no fur. I also just don't like animal people characters except for the Woren tribe from Breath of Fire. ^^" - Rosa Farrell 12:43, February 5, 2014 (UTC) Vercery 12:44, February 5, 2014 (UTC) Don't get the why people bellyache about her, Eiko's great.
