First off, do not think of this as my 'grand return' to the FFWiki; I have no intentions of returning any time soon, if at all. I will be here concerning this issue and this issue alone. Any questions not answered by this post, I leave up to the people, who have been here for quite a while, to answer. Aaaaanywho, I was asked by a few people here from the FFWiki if I was gonna make another holiday shout-out flash, and being the freakishly nice guy that I am (plus being on a sugar high), I agreed to do so. Those of you who have no idea of what I am talking about, read the QA below. First, here is what I will need for you, if you wish to participate in this little project:
Send all of the above to <mail removed> and name the topic "FFWiki shout-out" and your screen name, so I know who the hell it is. Now for the questions: What is this "Holiday Shout-out" thing? I've never heard of it before. Why are you asking already? The holidays are like... THREE MONTHS FROM NOW!! I don't have a microphone, but I wanna make a holiday shout-out :( What should I do, oh great one? I don't have audio recording software on my computer... :( But I don't have Windows, I have a Mac I'm not sure I want to send an image off myself for others to see... When is the deadline? Where and when will the flash be posted when it is done? | |||
Update: Don't forget that today, October 1st, is the last day to join! When you join, you have an additional two weeks, i.e. until October 15th, to send in your files, if you want to be sure you wanna be in the animation. If you send after that deadline, but still before December 17th, you might still be in the animation, but I give no promises. I will try my best if I'm not too busy with work and school. So even if you're currently not in the mood, remember that it's better to sign up now (so that I can make the necessary changes in the animation while I still have time to actually do them) and give a late submission, than it is to just send the submission sometime in November/December without having signed up by today, since I then honestly won't care about it and it'll go straight to my recycle bin. 'Cause if you can't even be bothered to spend 30 seconds on signing up, then fuck no I'm gonna spend 30 minutes changing expanding everything just because you wanted to be in it after all. | |||
Little over 10 hours left to join, peoplez, and then it will no longer be October 1st anywhere in the world. Everyone who joins after that point will simply be ignored. | |||
It is now no longer the 17th anywhere in the world, meaning that the second deadline has now passed. The flash itself has been exported, uploaded, and coded into a post, so any future shout-outs sent to me from this point on will simply be ignored, since I'm not gonna redo a finished product. The post containing the finished flash has a timer that makes the published post (yes, it is technically published) 'invisible' until December 24, 01.00 PM (CET). This equals noon (UTC), so figure out for yourselves what time that is in your country or have someone write a thread when it's up, I don't really care. This will likely be my last contribution to this Wiki, so enjoy it. Happy holidays. | |||

Finally! I've been waiting for a chance to do this after looking at last year's in the archives. I've sent my files, Hecko. Now it's up to you. Please make sure to do this, y'all! Merry Christmas to y'all three months ahead of time! | |||
Count me in! By the way, Hecko mentions that if only 3 or 4 people show their support by the end of this month, he won't do it. Also, you can use a self-portrait for the image. | |||

I'm in. Btw people you can also ask me to contact Hecko-kun, but he obviously doesn't know I'm back on the wiki yet :P | |||
I'm in too. Didn't realise I had to sign here, I was just going to send the e-mail. | |||

Argh, fuck! Why didn't I know about this sooner? I'm all sick right now and do not sound my best. :( But I guess I'll do it anyway! I'll send you the stuff later, Hecko. ^_^ EDIT: And now with the updated info and I understand now, hooray! I have time to get better before doing this now! ^_^ | |||
I'll try my best to get a voice recording. But I can't guarentee anything. There's also no way you're getting a real icture of Eric. You'll have to make do with a picture of Blue with a Santa hat. | |||
|
I'm in. I think Al-Fae is going to be making a second appearance. :p | |||
Did you get my files, Hecko? I've sent them under my Yahoo! Mail account and I hope you got them. BTW, could you list who else sent in their files? Thanks! :-) | |||
It is now too late to join!! | |||
Received files check-off list[]
List of people I have yet to receive files from. Your name will be crossed off the list when I have received all three details (colour, image, and audio file). In the order of joining:
| |||
I send mine, but a little something I must say, I recorded it on Messenger so I had to rush a bit at the end to do it on time :( | |||
OH HELL YEAH!! Thanks, Hecko! My part of the Shout-Out will have a Texas twang, y'all, so don't miss out on it! | |||
Forget me. I've failed. I totally forgot all about this thing. I got like two days to go, I don't have anything ready, and I have a cold. So count me out. Sorry Hecko, you can ban me for 2 seconds if it will make you feel better. =( | |||
Ding ding ding! Times up! Since Hecko is still in Serbia, he won't be able to update the list, sadly.
For those of you who have forgotten, Hecko's trip has been extended to the 26th. So you have a little longer to try and slip an entry in. Have fun~! | |||
I just sent mine (which is amazing since even I never thought that I would actually do this). If it didn't get through, please tell me. PS: Hecko, just guess which color I want. Here's a hint, #B0C4DE. Also, if you know what I look like, you'll have no problem getting a picture on your own. | |||
Okays. Here are basically your three options:
| |||
Hey Hecko, send me that sardonic bastard picture if you find the time to make it. | |||

Oh my god, I just remembered about this. I just sent my files and I hope it's not too late! | |||
Image size FAQ[]
Since many of you don't seem to have understood the entire "size" thing, and have sent me images too big, which I have then doodled on as punishment for making me waste my time resizing them, I'm writing a simple to understand FAQ so that most of you can avoid punishment (those who have already fucked up with the images they sent, can resize them themselves and send me the 'new' ones, which I will then use instead).
| |||
Well, I just made it smaller, didn't really knew what size you wanted but meh, now I'm doodled EDIT: Re-sent! Sorry to waste your time Hecko =( | |||
It's up![]
Right here. Merry Christmas, guys. --SCM 19:05, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Wow! Nice one, y'all. I must complement Our Lady of the Lunar Lute on having a sweet sounding voice. Yuan, if you're reading this, you sound remarkable. I wish I could say the same for myself. To everyone else, I'm amazed at how y'all sound on a mic as well. I still need to practice my mi skills, I admit. :P Well, with all that said: <Singing> Here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas from Texas and me! --Tex Howdy! 19:14, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Awesome effect, Hecko! If I made something that cool, I'd leave on that high note as well. You're getting a Medal of Honor. =) --BlueHighwind 19:26, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Awesome guys you all did a great job. BH and Yuan had some the best ones though.--Ratatosk/Zolo 19:29, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, you locked your Talk Page. Well, I guess it will have to go here, since that makes you ineligeble for an individual Medal. This is for everybody who who worked on this Shout-Out thing and made an appearance:

BlueHighwind Medal of Honor Thank you for Helping out the Final Fantasy Wiki (AKA: Me). You have proven yourself a loyal servant of this wiki and an all around fine fellow. Pat yourself on the back and shout from the rooftops about how awesome you are. Go out and kiss the first chick you see, once you have received this honor you will be irresistible to all women. This medal is also legal tender in Burkina Faso. Q? |
Fucking stop Edit Conflicting me -- Heh, Leon and BH actually didn't sound fake. I find that remarkable, disturbing, and in wonder of what voice/sound editors I can find on the interwebz. (You can only be fake on the interwebs) I Lion Heart I 19:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Good job on the Shout Outs. All of you have much more impressive voices than I thought,I do have some compliments to individuals, but it would be rude to single people out in public. In front of the other people. Merry Christmas.--Otherarrow 20:05, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Hey, uhh, I can't get it to work. Is there supposed to be a giant white space between the paragraphs? And I don't see any names to click on. I did the whole "save as" thing, but it won't work. —BfD (talk·contribs) Confirm deletion|22:23, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Try reloading your browser. It worked for me in Firefox 3. I just clicked on the link to open it in a new tab
and then it popped up. If you're not using Firefox 3, then I don't know what else to tell you, BfD. --Tex Howdy! 22:25, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I had an older version of Firefox, so now I've seen it. Hexed sounds like a radio guy, and I like your accent. ;3 And I'm glad none of you guys sound like this. o_o I would've done one myself, but I have such a low ugly voice and a bad habit of mumbling. >_<;
I regret not submitting anything, but I couldn't think of anything to match my submission for last year. :(
Only now have I even thought of something to submit, and's that me singing the Queen song Bicycle Race (ask and you shall receive though XD ). Diablocon 23:09, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Hey! I don't sound like a radio gai. Hexed 04:36, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Ah ha! I just thought to check on this (I've been out of town for a while)! Everyone sounds great, thanks for the wishes everyone. I think my favorite was BH's though. ;) And as usual, ugh my voice is horrible I hate it ugh ugh ugh. :P --Mymindislost 04:25, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
