Votes for the Leviathan

  1. Leviathan. If only because he saved my life more times in Dissidia than Phoenix. SilverCrono05:13, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
  2. Leviathan is a sea serpant aka dragon and he my second favorite summon. Also water beats fire.  NeoZEROX Dissicon ff6 Ter4 04:03, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  3. Phoenix is marginally more useful, but Leviathan is often a sole source of Water-elemental damage. His artwork over the series is also... amazing, especially here. 8bit 04:05, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  4. As anyone here will tell you, I have a massive obsession with Leviathan. Phoenix a great summon. Don't get me wrong, but the Lord of All Waters edges it for me. He's appeared in more games and he's usually a boss (at least in the older FFs) and he looks incredibly badass in FFVIII. Tsunami for the win! TheBlueDragoon 05:15, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  5. Phoenix is cool, but there's just something about Leviathan that makes him significantly cooler. Moocowisi 05:25, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  6. Leviathan = Pwnage. AtmaCrisis 08:05, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  7. Leviathan is a lot stronger then Phoenix even though Bahamut is still superior, the only purpose of Phoenix is because he can revive dead allies along with damaging an opponent at the same time. The damage that Phoenix does however is insignificant to most summons and if you only have one dead character, arise is a much better choice of spell as it cost only half the MP Phoenix costs. The only time when Phoenix is actually useful is when you either have more then one character dead or you have a dead character and the opponent is weak against fire. Besides another reason that makes Leviathan more useful is that he is USUALLY the only source of strong water attacks that your party has while Phoenix can be easily replaced with a stronger fire summon or Firaga. KaiserPaladin 08:37, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  8. Mmm...an immortal creature versus the master of the oceans? My vote is for the King of the Phantom Beasts (FFIV), without any doubt. •Alfarius• 14:05, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  9. BlueHighwind ツ: "Let those curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up Leviathan." (Job 3:8)
  10. Leviathan may not have been able to heal, but his power has always been excellent (and sometimes better than Bahamut for the MP cost). I like both, and pheonix has saved me more than once, but I have to say overall I prefer to have my big watery summon to wipe out my enemies. Also all the animations have been awesome! Bond em7 14:30, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  11. Water can easily extinguish fire. SquallisbetterthanCloud 14:51, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  12. "Hey look, this boss is weak to Water! OH WAIT. I don't have any water elemental spells." This is where Leviathan's usefulness shines through. Plus, if you don't suck, you won't ever have to use Phoenix. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 14:56, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  13. A tough call, but Leviathan is my favourite of all summons. Swmystery 15:04, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  14. Bjarnster Blackmage-ff1-psx
  15. Cloud of Darkness rapist. - Henryacores^ 17:19, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  16. Leviathan's just awesome. Sea serpent versus bird on fire? Sea serpent! -SonOfAJenova 18:08, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  17. Leviathan has my vote, though Phoenix is cool too.--StragusLore 18:54, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  18. Leviathan has been in more games than Phoenix. Plus more unique eidolon (apart from ivalice games no alternate water summon)Balthierfan 21:22, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  19. As mentioned, Leviathan is a godsend during the final battles of FFIII (namely Cloud of Darkness), since Bahamut has so few castings available. For that alone, I shall salute thee, Lord of the Seas.--ClixPsi 21:51, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  20. If this battle were portrayed in-game literally in a Bahamut vs. Alexander fashion, Leviathan would easily douse the flame of Phoenix. Theres really no avoiding that. And sure, Phoenix is more useful in battle. But being thee only Water summon around and a powerful one, it deserves more recognition than it gets. Adelbert
  21. I like him better.--DarkTriforce 22:41, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  22. Go Blue Team User:OwlEye
  23. I don't like either summon so I'm going with who would win element wise.ShadoeBlyson2 5:14
  24. Leviathan = Leviathan's Stomach = Ricard Highwind = Badass. I make random connections like this. The Terran Storm
  25. The first summon I ever saw, when I played the FFVIII demo at a friend's house. It's kinda hard to argue with that. Sol_Vent
  26. This was a tough one, but Leviathan has it for me. All of the reasons stated above are excellent, but when it comes right down to it, I'm a water person.CodeNameRedXIII 05:43, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
  27. Levi <3 Rai Balmung, the gargoyle 12:39, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
  28. Leviathan is usually stronger than Phoenix, although Phoenix provides "all life", but who needs that anyway? Besides, Leviathan is more of a classic to me. Badag 13:38, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
  29. Rinoa leonheart 16:59, February 4, 2010 (UTC) Leviathan O YEAH
  30. Juqni 17:07, February 4, 2010 (UTC) I've pretty much never used Phoenix so Leviathan is a pretty obvious choice. Besides he had an awesome summoning sequence in FF8.
  31. I have to go with Leviathan on this one. As they say, the best defense is a good offense. Plus Leviathan is so much harder to get. --Azecreth 18:57, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
  32. FaythOfFenrir 23:50, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
  33. Phoenix and the revival are far superior to Leviathan's damage which is often outclassed by Bahamut. But Leviathan is also responsible for making my darling Rydia the beauty she is today, and he's in second, so I choose him. Doreiku Kuroofangu
  34. Leviathan is a sea monster and is generally one of the most powerful summons in the game. Skin Of Silver 02:13, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
  35. Like it more - Ash Crimson - 08:56, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
  36. Phoenix annoys me for some reason. Leviathan is awesome. Avieure 09:08, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
  37. Never played a game with Phoenix in it. OavatosDK 15:03, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
  38. Going with the mythical creature of world ending proportions --Gerdat14 19:00, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
  39. Phoenix can be better,but i still like the leviathan - White Mage From Hell
  40. Look at the pretty fishy! MadHatter1284 01:02, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
  41. Levi is very useful considering water element is not common in most games (is that why they took him out in X?). Phoenix did save me a couple of times in VIII and IX (take that you big blue bad plot device), but Levi has all the good junctions. CheeseNinja 05:11, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
  42. Leviathan is my favorite summon and the vote #24 made me smile. Karu
  43. Leviathan is the best summon a Dragoon could ever have Commander Kain Highwind 07:49, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Anonymous Votes

  1. I like the water element better, so Leviathan FTW.
  2. I actually had to think about this for some time. But...I'll go for Leviathan. I've developed a strange love for him during the last few years...
  3. Water is a more unique element in a Final Fantasy game. 110.33.202.212 08:41, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  4. Aaaaah, this one hurts!! My two very most beloved Eidolons. They both are quite powerful, but most of all, they both are ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT! But I'll go with Leviathan, because I like Water most...but really, as far as I'm concerned, they're on equal footing.
  5. I think phoenix is more useful but the ff9 version of leviathan is one of the coolest summons in the entire series. Leviathan FTW!!
  6. I loved Leviathan's cutscene in FFVIII and he/she has always been there to beast it up!
  7. Leviathan's cool, and I use him far more often than I use Phoenix. Sometimes I just use him to see the summoning sequence, it's usually pretty cool. 206.248.112.231 04:08, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
  8. Though Phoenix is a pretty sweet mythological beast, Leviathan takes the cake in element, backstory, amount of games, and damage to MP ratio in general. Phoenix kind of falls flat...it feels forced, and I prefer Ifrit as a fire summon. 1:07, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
  9. Leviathan because 1.Its element is WATER. 2.Call me crazy, but in KH358/2 Days, Leviathan is my favorite keyblade.
  10. I vote Leviathan because he is usually the only way to use the water element. his artwork is always amazing! and he is usually powerful as hell!
  11. Leviathan was the first summon I ever saw in the series. It holds a special place among the summons to me.

Votes for the Phoenix

  1. Phoenix FTW! Uppfinnarn 09:49, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

  4. User:Firaga44 08:50, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  5. Not sure if Leviathan could heal. Kuzlalala 10:15, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  6. I prefer fire over water anytime. --Sencilia 10:18, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  7. I've always loved both of these summons. FFIX's summons were my favourites, and since both of these were summonable, I was torn. But I decided on Phoenix, since it's so beautiful, and can be powerful. And rebirth is hot. Dan-Iota 11:21, FEb 2, 2010 (UTC)
  8. When I was young, Leviathan was my favorite summon. However, now, no matter the game (like FFVIII and FFIX), I barely summon it anymore. Pheonix is more useful. In FFVIII, it can revive your whole party. In FFIX, it can be used by Eiko to revive as much as three party members at once (against Ozma, this can be very useful), and it can even save you from a Game Over. KujaRhapsodos 11:43, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  9. Fire beats waterHamfruitcake 09 11:45, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  10. Phoenix has saved me many a time. Leviathan hasn't. Jeppo (Talk | contribs) 11:46, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  11. Both are useful and iconic summons for the Final Fantasy series. I just like the idea of a life-giving firebird over a water-controlling eel/snake thing. Modedan 12:43, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  12. I love both summons, but I'm going to have to go with Phoenix, mostly because its feathers can revive you; a Leviathan can't. Hytey 13:27, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  13. I like chicken over fish, or in this case a lamprey. Phoenix! ThaneThamasa 14:05, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  14. The Rood Inverse Levithan is a dragon-like summon with the reare water dmg, wihc is nice and cool, but how often do you actualy use summons? Allmost never, since they are time consuming, mana expencive and rearly that good, compared to other types of DPS. But Phoenix is one of those, that is stil usefull, since you can revive all your chars, heal and does some dmg as a bonus. FFVII's Final Attack Materia makes it a insurance you can't be without in some battles.
  15. What more can I say? 15:11, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  16. Hooray for the bird. FinalAnnihilator 15:56, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  17. It saved me from death so many times.Redeemer & Destroyer 17:29, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  18. It was the only way I could get through Crisis Core on Hard mode Bruntie2 19:01, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  19. While Leviathan may be powerful, it doesn't cast Arise on the whole party while attacking enemies with fire. Silver Dragon XXVIII 19:14, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  20. Phoenix is the most versatile summon, hands down. Who cares about an extra, say, 3000 damage compared to Phoenix if you're dead? Intercision 19:19, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  21. Munk451 Pheonix can save you if you are down to your last party member and summon it, because everyone will be revived, while leviathan dosen't. pure and simple
  22. Phoenix is just awesome because it revives your party and hurts the enemy.Legend of Fantasy 20:43, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  23. Dang, this is a good fight. But Leviathan is never the most powerful summon in the games he appears in, although he does teach some good magic in some games, but Phoenix is often very unique in its ability to revive the whole party and therefore very useful (FFVIII) as well as teaching some very unique and useful magic such as Life 3 (FFVI). I'm going with Phoenix here. -Nokareon
  24. A difficult fight, why do I choose Phoenix? There are several reasons: I owe it for aiding in my defeat of Omega in Final Fantasy VIII, I have fond memories of mispronouncing it's name (as 'Fa En Ix') back as a child, and overall I prefer to be brought back to life than to have an overlarged water gun at my disposal, that's not to say I don't like Leviathan; but I'll shut up now. Goo Rayder 22:30, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  25. No phoenix, no phoenix downs Sunpanda2012 22:48, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  26. Clear winner here!!! I can't count how many times he helped me out right after my party was wiped out at some superboss fight!!! MMLN メーマウリアン 22:51, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
  27. This is super-tough for me, since both summons are awesome, and it's a really good fight, but as my favorite color is red, my element is fire, and I'm fond of the Phoenix as a mythical creature for everything it represents, my choice is clear! FFTA-job-timemageMStarkMaximumFFTA-job-timemageNM 00:11, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
  28. Something no party should be without, either this summon or its legendary feathers. - File:FFIII-nes-sage.gif Saethori (T / C) - 00:48, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
  29. Leviathan's feathers aren't a recurring item that allows one to circumvent inconvenient deaths. Actually, does Leviathan have feathers? No, because Leviathan's some stupid mega-snake (like this series doesn't have enough already...) Phoenix, however, is a mythical bird. (It's also a city in the United States, but that's probably unrelated.) The.DreadnoughT 02:37, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

  33. Yikes, this is a really tough one. But I love Phoenixes in general as well, so Phoenix gets my vote. :) Sorry, Levi. Mizuno Mahou 23:26, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
  34. Even though I like Leviathan, A real shame is to turn your back on someone who saved your life multiple times! A.X.A 09:07, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
  35. 尾藤 来夢 23:48, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
  36. Good ol' Red vs Blue. Phoenix is infinitely more useful than Leviathan, and as Water has become a more common spell, Phoenix's raise mixed in with fire damage just makes him more useful. I'm a "red" gamer all the time. User:Noobking87
  37. I like this betar YukiNagatoSalut!
  38. Phoenix= one of m all time favorite summons that has saved me from certain death numerous times. Leviathan= moderatly powerful summon. Yeah Phoenix rocks. Cyice Wings
  39. Phoenix gets points for reviving. It's saved me more times than I can count, lol. Oglop Master
  40. This is a tough decision, I loved both summons throughout the series, but Phoenix gets the vote for this one for its utility. In FF6, phoenix had one of the best curative spells (Life3!). In FF7, final attack=phoenix can make your party invulnerable as long as you have MP. In FF8, phoenix saved me once in the final form ultimecia battle. The same applies to various other FF games as well. Anyways, you cannot imagine a Final Fantasy game without phoenix down! Aquamarine39
  41. Deadlynightsage I love Leviathan, but... Phoenix has saved my butt more times than I can count or remember for that matter. So I'm going to have to go with Phoenix this time. Sorry Leviathan! February 6, 2010
  42. FINALLY! Something that isn't going to won by a landslide!! I love Leviathan but Phoenix can kill enemies AND revive you at the same time so that's why my vote is here ^_^ FinalFantasyAerith

  10. Really though decision, but I think I'll choose Phoenix.
  11. Phoenix, better, better.
  12. love it :D phoenix is the best
  13. I do prefer Phoenix. Reviviing my party members is slightly more important to me when you can always have someone in your party casting a water spell (sure, you can have a white mage revive the party or just use items, but Phoenix still retains a novel use.)
  14. I'll always vote for water over fire, red over blue, and a bird over a fish.

Oh dear God. THIS is a fight! My two favorite summons! Thank you Tactic Angel! Now to debate over who to vote for. TheBlueDragoon 05:13, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. Both are great summons! ;) Cluna 06 08:08, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Why not? It's an opinion poll. Hamfruitcake 09 12:28, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
Well, I think a vote is more interesting if it is in the shape of an argument, with clear and logical reasons. But those votes are completely contradictory. Is it fire that beats water, or water that beats fire? Both. It depends. That's why I don't really like seeing that... Of course, deep down, it's a poll, so I vote for Leviathan 'cause I prefer Leviathan are alright too. KujaRhapsodos 01:06, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
How does fire even beat water? I can understand the confusion as to whether or not fire beats ice (fire melts ice, which turns to water, which douses fire), but when it comes to water and fire, water is pretty much guaranteed to be the stronger. Does fire's heat evaporate water or something? StarkMaximum 01:11, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
Put a big enough fire, and no amount of water will extinguish it. The energy the fire releases is so great, even H2O's incredible «capacité thermique» (4,16 kJ/(kg*°C)) doesn't save it from being instantly vaporized (chemistry for the win!). Also, firefighters sometimes have the hardest time putting a fire out, because it's simply too hot: the fire is self-generating. I mean, its own heat kind of feeds itself. Take a bushfire for example. They can last for weeks. That's why I say it depends. Enough of one beats the other. KujaRhapsodos 13:23, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
Fire is self-generating? It's own heat feeds itself? Err... no. To keep burning, it needs fuel. Fire cannot be sustained without fuel. That's why all fires eventually go out. In your bushfire example, the wood from the trees is the fuel, and the winds push it onto more trees, fueling the fire even more. Once there is no wood left, it goes out. Granted, a little heat is required to get the energy out of the fuel, but it is still not self-generating. (Physics for the win!) Jeppo (Talk | contribs) 17:19, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
XD. I just meant the shear energy possessed by the bushfire makes up for anything (water), except, of course, lack of fuel. It's so hot, anything combustible just instantly catches on fire, then feeding the larger fire. I know, the wording was weird.... (It would be so great having an eternal flame, infinite energy for everyone! Dangerous too, but...)KujaRhapsodos 23:41, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

I think it'd be pretty cool if they made a FF where the main characters were the summons themselves. I'd so love to be walking around going "I'm Ifrit yo!" Modedan 12:47, February 2, 2010 (UTC) The closest thing we have to that is IV and VI where we had a few NCPs of the summon species. Exdeath64 16:45, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

These are my two favorite summons, mostly because they aren't the super-powered, super-popular Bahamuts and Odins that exist throughout the series, or the very common Shivas and Ifrits. Although those summons are awesome, Leviathan and Phoenix are uncommon, and require a greater strategy for use (the rarity of water spells or the death of your party members). Frankly, they're a treat when put into a game, and sorely missed when excluded. And you can tell that Square-Enix goes the extra mile to make their animations spectacular whenever they do show up.CodeNameRedXIII 05:56, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Couldn't have said it better myself. Both of these guys haven't been seen since FFIX. I don't include FFXI, since its an MMO. On a side note, there's so many better pictures of Phoenix. Like his Crisis Core artwork. TheBlueDragoon 06:46, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
I personally like the FF8 and 9 versions the best. ^^ JohnnyC
I like FF8 Leviathan best, and then FF9 Phoenix best. They both saved me more than once. TheBlueDragoon 18:39, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Quite a close fight as things stand...33.5 to 36.5, if I understand the scoring right. I think Phoenix will just about edge it. Swmystery 21:40, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, true. But, don't forget about the "Margin of 10%" rule. If a fight in the DNC does not win by greater than a margin of 10%, then the fight is declared as a tie. As of this comment (and based on your count), Leviathan has about 48% of the total votes, meaning he might squeeze out a default tie.CodeNameRedXIII 02:49, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry. I'm in math mode right now. The count is 37 (L) to 39 1/2 (Ph). Still looking like a tie.CodeNameRedXIII 02:53, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
That's still a tie. Leviathan must be pretty popular. TheBlueDragoon 03:24, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Week 139: Luso Clemens v. Ashley Riot

Fft-ruso
 Dnc v
File:Vs-riot.jpg
WINNER!
Ashley Riot
33 1/2 vs. 27 		Oh no he didn't...

...oh yes he did! Its important to remember amidst all the belly-aching about stuff that doesn't matter, that variety is the spice of life and the unfortunate reality of the nomination page is that no one really knows how to follow instructions--in the spirit of the DNC, those people don't count--and that the vast majority of people who vote there seem to have a huge man-crush on Squall.

So who are these guys? Ashley Riot, one of the first protagonists on Ivalice, and perhaps the most forgotten since in spite of Square's note that this was all set on a Final Fantasy world, the title of his Vagrant Story is not bearing the appropriate number of F's. Then there's Luso, who's kind of the latest addition to the various heroes who have guided a rather diverse and almost nonsensical chain of events where sometimes there are lizard men and bunny girls and sometimes not. Nevertheless, which would you place your gil on, Game Hunter or Risk Breaker?

WINNER!

  1. I've never played either of these games, but I know for a fact that I like Luso better. His name is better (Ashley?

  4. It was actually a really tough decision since i have play'd nether VS or TA2. So i just picked based on appearence, besides Game Hunter sounds kind of cool. Bjarnster Blackmage-ff1-psx 00:42, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
  5. I love the tacticsSunpanda2012 00:52, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
  6. Even though the picture is of FFT Luso, which is lame, and even though I'm not a fan of TA2's battle system, Luso represents a game with better characters, a better story, and in my opinion, the FF game with the best art. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 01:13, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
  7. Because I love FFTA2. TheBlueDragoon 04:03, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
  8. Luso is overall a better character, from a better game, with better abilities. And he doesnt look like a cross-dressing Arnold Shwarzenegger in a Tim Burton movie. Rakanadyo 05:02, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
  9. Totally Luso. Totally. Luso is pure win. --wee187 18:35, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
  10. The TA2 job system customizes anyone into the anthropomorphic embodiment of Death :) 8bit 20:05, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
  11. The three Final Fantasy Tactics games are my favourite Ivalice games. Therefore, Luso wins. Legend of Fantasy 23:21, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
  12. Yay for Luso! Kuzlalala 01:16, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
  13. sure, why not? AtmaCrisis 06:21, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
  14. At least Game Hunter is a title that makes sense- how exactly does one break a risk? Oh, and FFTA2 didn't need Shakespeare references. And Luso doesn't look like a bad combination ripoff of the worst aspects of Liquid Snake and Raiden. The.DreadnoughT 21:21, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
  15. Although I'm not a complete fan of his fairly shallow character, the game itself was my favorite Tactics/DS Final Fantasy Game (again, not for its plot, which was shallow, but actually for its gameplay and such). I can't really make a judgement on Vagrant Story- yet. Nokareon
  16. Even though I don't like him, Ashley doesn't even belong here, so, my vote goes to stupid. MadHatter1284 02:52, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
  17. He kicks some serious ass, and actually has a snowballs chance of getting some. And he is not as emo as some other characters who shall remain nameless. Exdeath64 04:17, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
  18. Tactics A2 all the way. Luso is a lot more tolerable than Ashley. BoAKaNRikkusmallsig 05:29, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
  19. How could I not vote for Square's tribute for Portugal? -• Kyrel [Talk]
  20. Because he fed a trio of Behemoths a length of iron. An epic fail, but a good epic fail. Pikmin Master 02:08, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
  21. Vagrant Story, a fair game, but it lacked anything that made Ivalice Ivalice. Tactics A2, despite the weird name, truly made Ivalice a good game setting, with plenty of fights, magical creatures, and a weird kid with a book leading a guild. The Game Hunter's has a story, has style, and has an attitude that makes you love 'im, the trouble maker.Noobking87
  22. Luso vs. Ashely? GTFO Luso auto-wins hands down, and why? Because A2 was such a joy to play ^___^, seeing sum guy playthru Vagrant Story on YouTube with its eyepaining graphics and foolish combo system loses dearly to what A2 has; pure-tactial action just short of the original FFT ~___~ people come up with better duels for this colosseum please T^T --Exhorresco 11:01, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
  23. I'm voting for Luso just cause I can. Acrum92 19:42, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
  24. Luso Clemns ROCK it's own game!!GO~~Dual-Wielding!! kerodrake
  25. LUSO !! of coures gotta be the GAME HUNTER cuz he gonna play video games all summer..and that is awsome, I should play Vagrant Story though BLK.MAGE.MOG 10:32, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

  1. I had never heard of any of them before but, from what I read in their pages, Ashley's character is too cliché. =/ 187.65.40.186 21:41, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

  13. I really hated everything about FFTA (it ruined the original FFT), and this guy sounds badass. Bruntie2 16:48, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
  14. Aww... poor Ashley. Though I don't really prefer one character over the other, it looks as though Ashley might not win (though it's too early to tell). I'll vote for him because, let's face it, the original PS is pretty old-school, and I love old-school things (for the most part).CodeNameRedXIII 22:21, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
  15. Ashley. Anyone knows that he's like Leon Kennedy in Final Fantasy. The man also needs no classes to keep him limited. He can use magic and be a berserker at the same time.Mask no Oni 22:58, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
  16. Vagrant Story is one of the best videogames I have ever played, with an excellent plot and setting that didn't talk down to its audience. I really cannot say the same for the Tactics Advance series. My vote goes to the wanderer, the vagrant.Hyacynth 16:23, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
  17. Rinoa leonheart 17:36, January 26, 2010 (UTC) O yeah he'll win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:P
  18. Never played any of the Tactics series, but have played VG (and annoyed they've completely forgotten about it!) and enjoyed it. He can do lots of stuff that it takes specialists to do in many FF games, the battle system has had quite an influence on FF XII at least, and I'd imagine XIII (not played it yet, suprisingly enough), so he is, in effect, the daddy of Ivalice. He also has, imo, one of the best retorts ever; 'Reinforcements? I AM the reinforcements.' TomServo101 15:17, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
  19. I just really hate Luso. JohnnyC 17:34, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
  20. Even though I don't like the fact that his name is Ashley, I like him better, he seems cooler, I haven't played either FFTA2 or VS, so... yeah I'm going for Riot (surname much cooler) Cecil the Paladin
  21. Going with unknown(the more) here. Voting for a draw since it looks like less people know Ashley (never played any of these games, by the way). Revyielle 18:31, January 26, 2010 (UTC +8)
  22. Ashley versus Luso? Puh-leese...SquallisbetterthanCloud 20:51, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
  23. The Rood Inverse Ashley comes from a game where the story is everything, and every character has a background and depth. Luso comes from a childrens game (witch is ok) and lack both a good background and depth. Lusio is just one in a line of one-dimentional characters I couldn't give a rats ass about.
  24. Because Hes Cooler Than A Little Boy. Simple, Thats It. C-Man93 21:52, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
  25. # I don't know who is Luso. Ashley is a great character and Vagrant Story is one of the best games I have played. I don't mind his name, he's a GREAT character and he's so hot :D Karu
  26. Like him more - Ash Crimson - 03:07, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

  28. Well, he is the reinforcements. I don't see Luso with better lines. (also, like the character more, that sorta thing)--Otherarrow 09:30, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
  29. Ashley, because he can actually fight.Commander Kain Highwind 07:54, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
  30. Ivalice has a one man army. His name is Ashley Riot. Also, Vagrant Story was the third game to get a 40/40 on Famitsu and the First Square game to do so.Theentertainer
  31. Coz Luso is a dumb schoolkid, I don't know anything about Ashley (why are so many girls called Ashley? Its a blokes name...), but he seems way harder than Luso. --Ammyissun 21:11, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
  32. First of all, Luso can be very VERY annoying at times. Ashley's not the most interesting character, but he is at least pretty cool. Vagrant Story is underrated.Aquamarine39 05:35, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

  1. I did play this game, and Ashley actually is a pretty awesome character. 206.248.112.231 01:29, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Ashley because Luso is quite a weakling specially in one of the cutscenes of ff: war of the lions, he was pursued by a army of behemoths.
