Here's the list of battles and take note that we'll begin by the bottom. No special reason, other than I feel like it.

Alexandria vs Lindblum
Black Mage Village vs Gargan Roo
Burmecia vs Cleyra
Chocobo's Forest vs Desert Palace
Dali vs Conde Petie
Esto Gaza vs Chocobo's Paradise
Terra vs Gaia
Fire Shrine vs Earth Shrine
Fossil Roo vs Evil Forest
Gizamaluke's Grotto vs Chocobo's Lagoon
Ipsen's Castle vs Ice Cavern
Madain Sari vs Daguerreo
Memoria vs Oeilvert
Mognet Central vs Pandemonium
Qwan's Dwelling vs Iifa Tree
Qu's Marsh vs Pinnacle Rocks
South Gate vs North Gate
Water Shrine vs Wind Shrine
Mount Gulug vs The Crystal World
Bran Bal vs Treno


Bran Bal - The only Terran city we get to visit in the game, Bran Bal's main feature is a laboratory used to grow Genomes as vessels for Terran inhabitants. Zidane most likely comes from Bran Bal.

Treno - Reknowned for its arquitecture, Treno is the home of many Gaian nobles. Unfortunately, it's also home to countless criminals and a major part of the city is actually a slum. Main features include: an auction house, Doctor Tot's house on the edge of town and the river that runs below and through the city.

Bran Bal - The only Terran city we get to visit in the game, Bran Bal's main feature is a laboratory used to grow Genomes as vessels for Terran inhabitants. Zidane most likely comes from Bran Bal.



Don't forget the massive salt-lick.


But my vote goes to Treno. Musics way better and you get a lot more stuff there (examples: Awards from the Stellazzio, Awards from defeating the beasts in the Knights House/Weapon Shop, Auction House, Card Stadium(esp. in disc 4) and so on)

Bran Bal. Treno was really cool too, especially in terms of stuff to do, but the design of BB was just brilliant. Plus I sort of spent too much time in Treno doing auctions and stuff, and that music gets quite annoying eventually.

It could be one of the vital ingredients to create KH2 Sea Salt Ice Cream.

Bran Bal

The feeling around Bran Bal gave me that really bizzare environment feeling as well as the place being quite unique to people who see the general type of FF town with the same shops along with a few differences.

[Bran Bal. God they're both awesome, but Bran Bal feels like a natural warless home without the pain or confusion of a city.

Treno

Treno

It where they held the tetra master competition, one of my favorite parts in the game.

Bran Bal, cos plot-related. Hard choice though.

Treno

Treno had much more class and I adore the art design. Nice music too!.

Bran Bal. Both are good but I found Treno a bit depressing.

Treno, it was a lot busier and I found it more interesting.

Bran Bal, I love everything about that place, even though Treno has its interactive points.

Treno

I got the feeling this is gonna be very close...

I have to go with Treno on this one. Very interesting place.

Nothing against Bran Bal, but I liked Treno more.

Bran Bal and its whimsicality seal the deal for moi.

Treno (9) eliminates Bran Bal (7) in a close battle.

Mount Gulug - Former home of the Mole race, Mount Gulug serves little purpose other than being the place where Kuja attempts to extract Eiko's eidolons and where Mog reveals herself to actually be Madeen. Hilda Garde isalso imprisoned there.

Crystal World - Inside Memoria, the party enters the Crystal and has to traverse a small distance in order to reach Kuja. As expected, everything is crystalized, even the enemies.

Can we have rumbles that aren't extremely tough choices?.

Crystal World

This one isn't a tough choice for me. Crystal World

I'll go with Mount Gulug in this one.

Mount Gulug

I don't remember much of mount gulug but I didn't like fighting the monsters in the crystal world. Since they all looked like crystalized versions of the bosses in memoria, I thought they would be hard so I just always ran away.

Mount Gulug, it had awesome music and a nice FF III reference :)

Trance Moogle, not only that, they gave you only 1 EXP and 1 AP as far as I remember

They give you no EXP like with most bosses and they give you 10 AP if my memory serves me correct.

Really? Its been years since I fought those in the Crystal World. I'll look into it!

Mt. Gulug because it has depth and life. (comments based on current mood not any bias towards game, thank you.)

Mt. Gulag

Crystal World

Mt Gulug

Mt Gulug

Because the music was awesome, and also the battles with the Red Dragons (?) which appeared on-screen just as you encountered them, which I thought was a nice touch.

Crystal World

Mt Gulug.

Loved the FF volcano music remix, Meltigemini and the red dragons.

Mount Gulug

Mount Gulug

The Crystal World!

The Crystal World

Mt. Gulag

Heh in Soviet Russia, there is only Gulag!

The Mole Place moves on (10), while the Crystal World is shattered (6).

Kind of a weak round next, but I wasn't the one that put them on the list!

Water Shrine - Nothing much to say, except it was one of the four locations necessary to gain entry into Terra. Eiko and Garnet entered and, if the rest of the party's experiences applied to every Shrine, fought Kraken, although you never see this.

Wind Shrine - See above. Vivi and Steiner took this one and faced and defeated Tiamat, who was just beginning to prove what a colossal pussy he actually is.

Lol there isn't much going for either of these places, but we should eliminate one of these, and I will vote for Wind Shrine because of Vivi and Steiner and nothing else.

Water Shrine, I thought from what we saw it looked far more interesting and vibrant than the Wind Shrine.

will vote for Wind Shrine because of Vivi and Steiner

x 2

I will vote for Wind Shrine because of Vivi and Steiner and nothing else.

Water Shrine.

Wind Shrine

Water Shrine

and I will vote for Wind Shrine because of Vivi and Steiner and nothing else.

x3

I'm going to fourth that on the Wind Shrine.

Water Shrine looked isolated and quiet unlike the Wind Shrine which looked violent. :)

The Wind Shrine

I will vote for Wind Shrine because of Vivi and Steiner and nothing else.

Wind Shrine moves on (9).

South Gate - To Cinna, this place only means Bundt Cake. To the rest, it's a massive passageway that separates Lindblum's territory from Alexandria. It's heavily damaged during the very first disc, when a malfunctioning Black Waltz #3 crashes his ship against it.

North Gate - Visited but never crossed, this particular gate separates Alexandria and Burmecia. During a visit, there's a mention of a bloody battle on the other side, although this is never exactly expanded upon or even mentioned ever again.

South Gate.

Because of the catchy music, Airship chase and the ATE Crime and Punishment.

Is this even really much of a battle? The South Gate weaves itself into the plot, providing a number of the game's more interesting and entertaining moments, as well. Definitely South Gate.

South Gate as well for reasons aforementioned.

South Gate

that whole sequence where some door is closing and the characters are trying to make it through in the nick of time is just used so much in other things. But I'll vote for South gate anyway.

North Gate

Is this even really much of a battle? The South Gate weaves itself into the plot, providing a number of the game's more interesting and entertaining moments, as well. Definitely South Gate.

South Gate, because of the Cinna scene.

South Gate

North Gate only because it's more relative to FFXI what with war banners and that battle going on on the other side where mass killings is present and near tangible here and not anywhere else in the game aside from the siege of Lindblum with Atomos cinema. Personally there weren't enough rats in Cleyra to constitute an ingame populus.

Little hiatus there, with the Shrine crapping out on us and everything. While it lost, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that would vote for North Gate (2) over the South (13).

Qu's Marsh - Found in three of the four continents in the FFIX world, these marshes are worth visiting for the frog-catching minigame, which yields many rewards. Quale, Quina's master, resides in one of these. You can also find the know-it-all mog in any of them, should you require freshening up on the tutorials.

Pinnacle Rocks - Here, Ramuh invites you to play a minigame involving the retelling of a FFII section, at the end of which you receive your first eidolon that you're actually able to use. Nothing much here apart from that but it is a very pretty location, with lots of water and vegetation.

:) It has to be the Qu's Marsh for me. Froggies!

Qu's Marsh

Qu's Marsh

Qu's Marsh

frog drop helped me so much in that game.

QU'S MARSH

me like frogs

Qu's Marsh.

Two less than impressive contenders, as I never took much interest in Quina or catching frogs, while the Ramuh task was more or less pointless as you could acquire Peridots in large quanities soon after.

Pinnacle Rocks, because it looks nicer, I guess.

QU'S MARSH

me like frogs

Pinnacle Rocks.

Pinnacle Rocks.

Qu's Marsh.

I liked both but Qu's Marsh helped me more in the long run.

Qu's Marsh (9) trounces Pinnacle Rocks (3)

Quan's Dwelling - Near Treno, this cavern served as home to both Quan and Vivi, who Quan was apparently growing so he could make a meal out of him. It's also here that Quina and Quale learn what it means to be a gourmand and where Virgo and Scorpio met, as evidenced by the story told in the Stellazio coins, two of which can be found near the spring inside.

Iifa Tree - The "back of the tree", as Garland puts it, this beautiful location is perhaps the most important in FFIX, serving as the waste disposal system for the discarded Gaia souls, turning them into Mist. The physical manifestation of the tree extends its roots all over the world and, while only affecting the Mist Continent in the beginning, later in the game it exhales Mist all over the world.

Iifa Tree

Lifa Tree

I liked how the inside was all green and glowing.

Quan's Dwelling, and as Espanha correctly posted, it's "Iifa," not "Lifa."

Iifa Tree

Iifa Tree, cos important part of the story.

Plus I remember liking the graphics and how it looked at the time.

Iifa Tree.

Iifa Tree

Iifa Tree...music is kinda cool... and has anyone elsed noticed that the Stroper monsters look slightly phalic?

Quan's Dwelling for it's nice stone floors and indoor jacuzzi! But also because hated that couldn't complete coffee quest because of that stupid tree.

Guess I'm only voting to side with Agent not that it's going anywhere fast..because the end scene with Zidane running the gauntlet of vines back to Kuja was about as awesome as the You're Not Alone scene after Zidane speaks with Garland, awakes in some sort of old incubator? and traipses away from his consoling friends temporarily to whomp on more awesomeness in the form of monsters!

Iifa Tree, as there's nothing much to do in Quan's place.

Iifa Tree.

Cure spells + Fire = Lvl Up bonanza.

And the nice cut scene with Eiko to access the location.

Iifa Tree

Iifa Tree.

Quan's Dwelling .

Quan's Dwelling (3) goes down. IIfa Tree (11) gets an easy win.

Mognet Central - The heart of the Mognet delivery system, located on a small island. Artemicion is the, let's call him Postmaster and proved his worth by crapping up the system prior to the game's beginning.

Pandemonium - Garland's castle on Terra, where some major plot points are revealed to Zidane and company. Zidane also has a sudden, but brief, attack of "Squallititis" here.

Pandemonium for sure.

Pandemonium

I love me moogles. Mognet Central

I love me moogles. Mognet Central

Pandemonium

Mognet Central, ofc.

Pandemonium! I love that place, even with the presence of very repetitive organmusic, it suits it fine. Now, if Mognet Central was a bit more developed and more part of the story, I might've reconsidered my voting.

Mognet Central

Moogle mail delivery headquarters

Ummm...... Mognet Central...it annoyed me that you ca only go to Pandemonium during the story line...

Pandemonium.

Pandemonium.

Pandemonium only because it had incredibly awesome music. Garland was a very badass antagonist IMO, once I got over the fact that he was named after the lamest FF villain in history.

Pandemonium.

I love me moogles. Mognet Central

Mognet Central

Close shave but Pandemonium (8) trumps Mognet Central (7)

Memoria - Another side of the Iifa Tree, this place is comprised of the memories of the inhabitants of Gaia, as evidenced by scenes dating back to Gaia's very early days, such as a large ocean covering most of the surface. Memoria is also the final dungeon of the game.

Oeilvert - Bad juju if you're a magic user, Oeilvert is located on the Forgotten Continent and houses several planetarium-like rooms, where the history of Terra is unveiled to the party. As mentioned, magic is forbidden in this place due to the anti-magic field around it.

Memoria

Oeilvert

It's going to have to be Memoria for me.

Memoria also.

Oelivert.

I really like both places, but Oeilvert, just 'cause of its connection with Terra. I have a feeling Memoria will make its way to the final easily, though. :p

Memoria

Memoria

Oeilvert.

Memoria

Memoria

Memoria

My favorite part of that place was how it was all events and stuff . You can like see at the beginning I think that more and more memories and things are getting piled up on it of memoria itself.

Memoria for monster awesomeness. How is it "another side of the Iifa tree"? It's nowhere near it..just the entrance/portal w/badass airship/nova dragon scene is in front of it.

Memoria

Memoria

Oelivert plz.

Recalling how I had gotten so lost and leveled up so well in Oelivert and learned so much about the history...but I hated those mirrors and the lack of magic didnt bother me too much.

How is it "another side of the Iifa tree"?

You enter Memoria through the portal above the IIfa Tree. I don't think it was just a random location chosen for it. Without the IIfa Tree, there probably would not have been a portal to Memoria. I calls'em like I sees'em but everyone is free to correct me when I get something wrong. I appreciate it.

Anyway, Memoria takes this round (11). Too bad for Oeilvert (6).

Madain Sari - Village of the Summoners, now inhabited only by a few Moogles and Eiko. It's a desolate, ruined location but there are hints everywhere that it could've been quite beautiful before.

Daguerreo - Situated between mountains, Daguerreo is a hot spot for researchers and scholars; there's a huge library here and a deep connection to water. Not an obligatory location to visit but worth the time.

Daguerreo

Draguerreo

Had a lot of people with good cards to take. especially the four armed man.

Madain Sari Cause moogles ftw <3

Madain Sari more connected to the story and gota love the moogles!

Madain Sari. Love the location and the music, hate the music and the unskippable multitude of ATEs.

Both are pretty cool places, but I'm going for Madain Sari and its lovelyness, even though it's literally a ruin opposed to the big library.

Daguerro because the pan-flute music of Madain Sari was less appealing to me, and Daguerro was so incredibly cool.

Daguerreo. Madain Sari is ok but the fact Daguerreo is basically one huge library seals the deal for me.

Madain Sari

Daguerreo , as it has to offer a lot of things to the player - Including Steiner's second best weapon ;)

+I was thrilled to find it randomly on the map :P

Madain Sari

Daguerreo

Even though Madain Sari had a lot to do with the story, it was generally just a dull pile of rubble with very little of any entertainment to do apart from watch Eiko's cooking ATE, which was pretty lol-worthy.

Dagguereo had a lot of items to pick up and actually had other individuals to converse with, being generally more interesting all-round.

Tough.

Madain Sari, cos story-related. I like them both though.

Prettty close one there but Daguerreo pulls through (7).

Ipsen's Castle - Upside down in more ways than one, this castle can only be accessed by an airship. Aside from looking like something Escher dreamt up, the castle houses the clues for the locations of the mirrors necessary to reach Terra.

Ice Cavern - Shortly after escaping Evil Forest, Zidane, Steiner, Vivi and Garnet find themselves here, in hopes of reaching the top of the mountain and leaving the Mist well below them.

Ispen's castle I will never forget the look on my face when my best weapons were hitting for fuck all.

Ipsen's Castle by far. In the end, the Ice Cavern is just a cave. :P

Ipsen's Castle

Ipsen's Castle... made me mad that you couldn't go back to Ice Cavern after the storyline

Ice Cavern - while it lasts.

Ice Cavern

Ispen's castle I will never forget the look on my face when my best weapons were hitting for fuck all.

Hrm, did I lose my subscription to this or something...

I actually kinda liked the Ice Cavern.

Ice Cavern. I always liked the bit where your party is made unconscious and you meet Black Waltz #1.

Ipsens Castle What a bitch of a place it was to.

Ipsens Castle, by miles.

Ipsens Castle, by miles.

yup

Ice Cavern who can forget when you thaw out the moogle?!

Ipsen's Castle moves on (8).

Gizamaluke's Grotto - Since reaching a new location and advance the story can never be too easy in accordance with the laws of the universe, FFIX throws Gizamaluke's Grotto at us, a, you guessed it, grotto filled with passages and doors requiring special bells to be opened.

Chocobo's Lagoon - Upon toiling for your amphibious chocobo, you get to visit this place, hidden on the side of a small island. While similar to the Forest in that you have to dig for the chocographs and assorted treasure, the Lagoon's accessability to the aforementioned rewards depends on whether you have a River chocobo or an Ocean chocobo.

Gizamaluke's Grotto

Gizamaluke's Grotto
I love the moogle stuck in the bell!!!
Also, I find Gizamaluke to be a really easy battle! A few jumps with Freya and wham, bam thank you ma'am

Gizamaluke's Grotto

Chocobo's Lagoon.

Nice getaway even if it is noticeably ill lit. Gizamaluke's Grotto was depressing and strangeley arranged.

It's got a mine when you first walk in..but then the large bell in the middle before fighting Gizamaluke adorns a chapel?

Gizamaluke's Grotto, although I agree it was strangely arranged.

Gizamaluke's Grotto

I like how it led into a small little area with grand dragons that would kill your characters in an instant if you tried fighting them at that point in the storyline.

Gizamaluke's Grotto I remember when I first played the game and got stuck forever because I wasn't leveled up well enough to beat the lamias.

Gizamalukes Grotto

Gizamaluke's Grotto

Gizamaluke's Grotto

Chocobo's Lagoon :D

Ipsen's Castle.

I'll update more if I can remember. heh

Chocobo's Lagoon :D

Oh, what the hey... Chocobo's Lagoon

Chocobo's Lagoon.

Gizamaluke's Grotto

The artwork and music there perfectly captured the emotions that Freya must have been going through when you go there for the storyline event. Also, the Moogle/Kupo Nut scene was super.

It's a tough call though as Chocobo's lagoon complmented the Forest well as an alternative location for the Choco Hot & Cold minigame.

Ipsen's Castle.

I'll update more if I can remember. heh

go away.


Gizamaluke's Grotto

The Grotto but it's a close call. Out of all the chocobo locations, I feel the Lagoon is the best because you get that feeling of realization when you dig a new Chocograph, probably because it's harder to dig something out of the water.

The Grotto is just fun; you get the moogle couple, especially the kupo-crazy male, a great place to level up and commit suicide if you feel a bit under the weather and a good dungeon overall. And Gizamaluke only adds to the fun.

Chocobo's Lagoon.

Can we get an update please?

Since its brought up again

Gizamaluke's Grotto

Lagoon. Gizamaluke drove me insane.

Gizamaluke's Grotto.

Is there any chance of an update? It's been around three weeks.

I'm not sure what happened to Espanha.
I tried to message him, but then my computer wouldn't run my old MSN and I had to update and lost his e-mail ...so I can't contact him. I tried sending him a PM ...

=/
Perhaps if he's not back in a week someone else should take over the thread for a while and/or leave it on hiatus.

Since its brought up again

Gizamaluke's Grotto

Solaris, agreed. I'm giving this a week, and then if Espanha isn't back, we release it to somebody else (if anyone wants it), and then if he comes back, they can hash it out. To be honest, when I first saw the Espanha account, I thought it was Prak's joke account. I know he has one, but I don't know what it is.

Espanha hasn't signed on since the 15th.

Espanha[/B] isn't back, we release it to somebody else (if anyone wants it).

If no one else wants it, I'll do it...

Perfect. If Espanha doesn't show up again, then, you might want to consider starting a new thread so you'll have better control over it. PM me before you do.

Guys, Espanha has been on vacation for the past couple weeks and should be back in Portugal now. I imagine he'll show up again soon.

And no, he is not my joke account.

Thanks, Prak! We'll keep an eye out then, and this thread will be waiting here for him.

Prak's joke account. I know he has one, but I don't know what it is.


you mean this? (http://forums.ffshrine.org/member.php?u=52473)

i'd have thought it was obvious tbh. its so overdone and ott.

Meh, it doesn't any seem any different to your average FF7 fankid n00b. At least not to me. But then, I guess that's the joke.

Hmm. I posted in some of the threads that account posted in, I think I may have even closed one, but yeah, couldn't differentiate from your average FFVII fan-lamo.

Rofl

Perfect. If Espanha doesn't show up again, then, you might want to consider starting a new thread so you'll have better control over it. PM me before you do.

I hope this doesnt die out, if it would have come to the crunch I would have taken it on. I know three would have been a lot but it would have been a shame to let it die.

Damn you, Bryan. Now I have to invent a new one.

Well, that's a surprise, I was certain his joke account was "Zackary Fair".

That one I never figured it to be, because I didn't figure he would create a joke account and then reference it in his signature.

Wow that makes me laugh...

I said I'd give this a week and despite the claims of Espanha returning, nothing's happened yet. I'm now officially giving it two more days and if he's still not here, then it's released. To Hawkeye, if he still wants it, or Baby Boink if he doesn't. Just send me a PM when the couple days are up and we'll get the ball rolling.

Yeah, Espanha's having some pretty major problems with his ISP. He's back at home, but without a connection. It's quite a big mess, according to what I've heard from a friend of his.

^ I was told the same thing - so maybe a few more days or another week?

Yeah, all right. But no more than a week, then, unless we get a definite date on when he'll be back on.

Well Hawkeye is welcome to it, I just stuck my hand in so it wouldn Die :)

Okay I'll do one to pass the time by...give me a minute...

Gizamaluke's Grotto: 15

Chocbo's Lagoon: 7

Next round:

Fossil Roo vs Evil Forest

Fossil Roo: Tunnel that connects Mist and Outer Continent. Can only be found in Qu's Marsh if Quina is in the party. The really only exciting thing about this place is the fossil/treasure digging mini-game; even though the rewards aren't that great. Can only be accessed during the storyline.

Evil Forest: Giant forest in valley below Alexandra. Again can only be accessed during storyline. Garnet captured by giant plant. Vivi captured by giant plant. Blank petrified.

Sorry if I can't come up with a good description for Evil Forest but whatever.



Fight!


Edit:

I will probably update this Wednesday afternoon

Dont Worry Hawkeye, You have said all that people need to know.


Fossil Roo for me

Evil Forest.

Evil Forest. Fossil Roo wasn't as interesting and as fun for me. When I think of FFIX two things pop into my head: the Evil Forest part and the part where the white dragons pour out of the portal.

Kinda tough, 'cause I've always had the feeling for both places that there was a lot more they could've shown of it, so I found them both pretty intrigueing.

Hm.. Fossil Roo.

Evil Forest

This place actually seemed kind of hard and mostly everything afterwards was smooth sailing.

Fossil Roo - best part in the game imo, when you finish fossil roo and step unto the continent with no mist...

Evil Forest

I definitely liked traversing through Evil Forest, more so than Fossil Roo. I hate that bitch Lani...

Hawkeye, I would definitely still recommend starting another thread if you're going to take it on full-time.

Meh, Evil Forest, but just barely.

Evil Forest

Evil Forest. I always enjoyed the Escape from Evil Forest FMV.

Fossil Roo

Gargans & treasure mines > Bramble Blast (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)

>>>>Evil Forest <<<<

greatest emotional sequence/level/episode in game

Evil Forest

Hawkeye, I would definitely still recommend starting another thread if you're going to take it on full-time.



I'll take it on full time if Espanha isn't back after this rumble or so...( and start a new thread also)

Evil Forest

Fossil Roo, as it annoys me that you can never get back into Evil Forest after you leave it initially.

Evil Forest

The soundtrack around that area is fantastic. Also, the backgrounds are lovely.

Fossil Roo

Fossil Roo: 5

Evil Forest: 12

Evil Forest Moves on.

Now I make a new thread for this and post what's left for this round there...

Move's not on, apparently. Current battle, ported from the other thread ---

Fire Shrine

vs.

Earth Shrine


My vote, Earth Shrine, definitely. Way more significant.

K, since it is over here again I will recast my vote

Fire Shrine

Fire Shrine

Earth Shrine

Fire Shrine.

Earth Shrine

Fire Shrine


Also wth is going on with this rumble. Is Hawk just covering till Espanha gets back or is it his now?

Earth Shrine

Baby for now, the former, if Espanha doesn't get back soon, the latter.

Fire Shrine

My vote, Earth Shrine, definitely. Way more significant.

Fire Shrine

Earth Shrine

Fire Shrine!

earth shrine

Earth Shrine

Fire Shrine

OKay sorry for the delay.

Fire Shrine: 8

Earth Shrine:8

For the tie breaker, I am going to flip this penny I got here. Heads, Fire Shrine moves on. Tails, Earth Shrine moves on.

It's Heads.

Fire Shrine moves on.

Next Round:

Terra vs Gaia


Terra: The twin planet of Gaia. Assimilates other planets to survive. Almost all life was wiped out when it failed to assimilate Gaia or something along those lines. You played the game you should know this. Garland and the genomes ya-da ya-da. Trance Kuja destroys it in the end. Can only be visited during the story line.

Random Encounter: Hecteyes




Gaia: Main planet/world map for the game. 4 continents. Mist, airships, etc. 6000 years old, which is relatively young. Garland created Iifa Tree to speed up assimilation process so he could bring the souls on Terra out of suspended animation.


http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj48/Hawkeye_1138/Worldmapffix.gif

Fight!

Terra had some nice scenery but still Gaia.

Gaia, obviously way more significant / cooler.

Hawkeye, you might want to consider using my tiebreaker method. I'm pretty sure that's what Espanha was doing, and I've found that it always gives good results.

Simply withhold your own vote for the entire first round so that when ties do happen, you can simply vote for your preference to break the tie. After the first round, switch to a percentage-based system to let performance in previous rounds break ties, which also lets you vote from that point on.

I was thinking of doing that, but I think that way is too bias(the self vote part not the percentages/total previous votes things). Even if I had done it that way I stil would have voted for the Fire Shrine.

Gaia

Terra was really cool but there wasn't enough there, where as Gaia has so many cool moments it in. If the story had spent more time on Terra I would have picked Terra instead.

Gaia because it has the black mages.

Gaia.

Meh, I actually liked Terra, from what little I saw of it. Gaia only wins by default, because you hardly get to explore anything of Terra.
