As the Rest have been started up again.

I will get this one going again as well. To start with I will just do a miny rumble to see how many people we get participating. Then we can go by popular vote what we want next.

Right Mini Rumble to start with.

Gfs

Quezacotl, Shiva, Ifrit, Siren, Brothers, Diablos, Carbuncle, Leviathan, Alexander, Bahamut, Caqtuar, Cerebrus, Eden, Tonberry, Doomtrain, Phoenix and Chocobo.


1st up.

Shiva- The Ice Queen, she looks stunning as always. She appears from within a block of ice and freezes the enemies in a very graceful way, As is expected from her.

vs

Cerebrus- Hades Dog the Guardian to the gates of hell, somehow makes its may in to FFVIII and becomes one of your trusty GFs. Granting you the effects of both double and triple.

I know everyone has there own policies on if the rumble manager should vote or not but I always have so Shiva

Come on people post your votes let get this flowing again.

Huh? Rumbles started in sections I mod without talking to me first are always subject to possible closing. I'm going to allow this for now, but just make sure it isn't going to be one of those deals where it's only updated like once every week or two.

Anyway, Cerberus is by far the more powerful and more interesting, both for the abilities it grants and what it casts.


Oh, and there are seventeen GFs listed -- how is that going to be resolved?

EDIT also your list has 17 GFs... how will that work? Why not use the even binary 16 normal ones? Your list has 15 out of the 16 plus Phoenix and Chocobo and is missing Pandemona. I mean, I can understand putting Phoenix in there, but CHOCOBO over Pandemona? Why not Odin or Gilgamesh or something.

Right Ill call time on the first round.

And the vots are as follows

Shiva - 7

Cerberus - 11

So the mighty Shiva has fallen at the first hurdle to Cerberus, Surprising win there but she had her support.

Round 1 Battle 2

Siren- The only other female Contender we have in this rumble. Lets see if her long blonde hair and the pretty harp she plays will silence the votes for the opposition just like it does her opponants when she uses it against them.

VS

Ifrit- This is one of our longest standing GFs, His appearance has been often in previous games but looks similar in them all. His attack Hell fire Variates from game to game, In this game his Hellfire attack sees him thrown in to the Sky Atop a meteor and then sends it crashing down to earth.

So who will win, The fiery red-head or the silent Blonde?

Only you decice. Place your votes.

Siren Because her Silence Ability had saved my life a few times.

Even though this has only been on a day I think its safe to say that Siren is the clear winner here

With 10 votes to 3 She Knocks Ifrit from atop his metoer and sends him crashign back to earth.

Next up.

Tonberry - The littlest GF in the game, Takes a while bless him to get to where he is going but packs quite a punch with that knife of his when he gets there. He is little and green and wears what appears to be a potato sack as a jacket.

VS

DoomTrain The Most ugliest train I have ever seen in this world, He appears from some other land Does not have the decency to stop to allow people on then even runs your enemies over, (Oh wait thats a good thing) He also can inflict heavy status effects on the enemies making up for his lack of attack power.

Right we have a few random votes in here. So I am gonna ask this once.

Please read who is in the current battle, Not just who you happen to see on the page. It is rather annoying. I realise it can be a mistake. If you do make a mistake, Edit your current post. DONT POST AGAIN PLEASE, Just makes things so much harder.

Anyways enough of that, We have a winner.

Tonberry - 8

Doomtrain - 11

He tried and he had a lot of support but Tonberry just walked to slow to make it to the next round, But Doomtrain steams on through.

Next up

Caqtuar - Now this prickly little fiend is a bugger to kill but a friend who you can always be grateful to have on your side, His 1000 Neddles attack is variable depending on your level. But has the amazing perk of going through all defences regardless of if its at the highest stat or the lowest. Plus he is a lil cutie :)

vs

Diablos - This creature of the night is the easiest but also one of the hardest to gain. As he comes in a magical lamp which you just have to rub, After that though a nice battle follows and if you are not prepared he can walk all over you. His attack is a more powerful form of Demi but with the ability to kill. Nice visual effects though.

As I have a long loving of caqtuars I will have to vote for caqtuar

Dot Centaur

Caqtuar - 6

Diablos - 14

Yeah he really did take a whipping and a kicking as well. So we say goodbye to our lil green friend the Caqtuar and congratulate the bigger and uglier Diablos.

Time to decide who else will be Joining Diablos in the next round and Caqtuar on the shitpile.

Leviathan A Big Sea Snakey, Who manages to create a giant wall of rock which he then slithers up and turns himself in to a vast amount of water washing away all the trash that stands against you.

vs

Quezacotl- This bird? thunder entity? Well whatever the hell it is, This creature joins you right at the start, And appears out of the sky with a great flash of lightning, Encases himself in a bit of lightning then electrifies your opponants giving them a bit of a shock ;)

Leviathan for me was personally one of the best GF's that were on offer in FFVIII so I will cheer on the big Sea Snakey.

Right It would appear that its time to finish this battle.

Leviathan - 7

Quezacotl - 14

In this instance it would appear that as Knegative so rightly said Electric type pwns Water type and Quezacotl goes through leaving Leviathan shocked and beaten.

Next up we have

Carbuncle - This lil cutie pops out the ground and using his pretty lil ruby on his/her? forehead grants your party a ruby light protection giving them all the Reflect ability. Thankfully this lil beauty never goes in to battle against the enemy would be a shame to see it get hurt :)

vs

Pandemonia - The Gf who I kept secret till now, I wouldn know how to describe this gf with words, Its attack fucntions like a giant Dyson sucking up your enemies, holding them there for a few seconds then shooting them back out in the form of a tornado. After the tornado stops they come crashing back to earth.

Carbuncle gets my vote for character design and plus the fact I never summon Pandemonia as he quite annoys me and looks awful.

Carbuncle - 9

Pandemonia - 9

Well now this is a pickle we have a tie. Well in this case I am going to make it more interesting, I am going to pick one person at Random to cast the deciding vote, I am going to use good ole fashioned names in a hat and the one that got drawn was... Mr Knegative so the deciding vote is down to him. Will he keep with Carbuncle or Change to Pandemonia we shall see, He will be Pm'ed and once I receive his reply I will update as needed.

Also with the name problems its my fault. I used to have to major dyslexia and it still comes through from time to time, I always have spoken Pandemona as Pandemonia hence the spelling mistake. Did not mean to cause so much uproar just sorta go with it if I do something like that again sorry.

Thanks to a quick reply from mr Knegative the winner is Carbuncle. He decided to keep his vote making it the winner.

Right that meeting was a lot quicker then expected.

Here we go.

Brothers - This gruesome twosome are always good for a chuckle. Given that the bigger is whipped by the much smaller of the two. The attack Brotherly Love is a bit of a misleading name, They engage in agame of Rock Paper Scissors which the bigger always loses, and ends up being hurled towards the enemy in midair causing them to fall back to the ground in a shower of rubble. Always good for a chuckle.

vs

Chocobo - Not a Gf that appears on your Menu but one that is always there to help (Once you have caught yourself a Chocobo of course) His attack Choco Fire is not the most powerful of attacks but can help out in a Jam. Plus the fact its a chocobo which alone gains it a lot of liking.

Brothers is gonna be my choice in this battle, simply because it always makes me smile to watch the two of them "fight it out" in rock Paper Scissors.

The battle is done and now Brothers sound their victory cheer, Completly massacring the poor lil chocobo 16:1

So next up we find

Eden - The "ultimate" Gf its attack lasts long enough for you to go make a cup of tea, Walk the dog, Have a wank etc etc whichever you prefer to do during that time, But does cause massive amounts of damage.

vs

Bahamut - The dragon Gf recurring in at least 5 games. Everyone knows Bahamut and therefore needs no explanation at all.

This should be an interesting one, Power vs Loyalty I guess.

I am going to be Loyal and say Bahamut Simply because Eden is a waste of time and I never use it.

I say Eden, it usually owns mostly all of the bosses later on in VIII. Plus the only way you CAN'T get a whole whopping boost of 255 is if your inept with the controller.

Summon: Hmm, Eden does have 58 905 (11550+summag(10,20,30,40)+boost(ever255)and no dmg limit) tops attack on all them enemies which would take like 5-6 times using Bahamut which is a bigger waste of time and atb time.

Abilities: Eden has luck+50, spd-j and darkside which makes magic feel useless waste of real time, Bahamut has amazing str+60 and mag+60 and abilityx4, but also 'rare item'.

Respects: Bahamut is King of dragons, while Eden is like god of GFs and it's eternity outranks Bahamut's.

Eden wins for me.

Bahamut.

I never bothered using GFs to actually do damage. I usually don't even have the GF command equipped unless someone is equipped with Cerberus. So I have to go with Bahamut for it's abilities and the fight to recruit him was fun for me. A lot more challenging than using "draw" to get Eden.

I will tell you what Eden is, it's more than just a giant airship. It's actually a giant GARDEN, notice the round shape of it like Balamb/Galbadia/Trabia. It's name is from the Garden of Eden, get it, the GARDEN of Eden... heh.

Yeah, I see the word "garden" in this game as more of a seperate term for this game rather than a word in the English language.

(this is a voting post hence the bold).

Didn't realize Eden was so unpopular because no one knows what it is. Either that or they're too attached to Bahamut... fuck Bahamut, man.

I don't care who's more powerful, I'd have voted for Eden anyway cause of its cleverness.

It being a garden (maybe an ancient one since it's found in ultra old ultima weapon in place waaaaaay old. Hmmm, Centra...Cetra?...maybe a ex-garden for semi-gods or top civilization on super smart autopilot or mind of it's own?) makes me love Eden. When I read some Harry Potter I totally wanted to be a student on that awesome school. Same for FF8 and Balamb garden. But such an advanced ancient one? Where do I sign!?

Right This is a Rumble not an argument thread. If you wanna debate the ethics of a dragon vs whatever Eden is, Then go make a thread about it.

With that little rant out the way lets see what we have.

Bahamut - 14

Eden - 5

Bahamut wins this one easily.

I know I have said it once, But please dont make conversation in here makes it far to difficult to trawl through all the useless posts. What Avatars or RE4 has to do with a FFVIII rumble is beyond me but just dont do it again please guys and gals.

Next Battle. Which is the last Battle of the first round.

Alexander - This Giant robotic GF appears from under the ground looking all very unholy, Opens up two giant barrage cannons on this shoulders and releases a large amount of holy torpedos aimed at the enemies.

vs

Phoenix - One gf who needs no intros I think, Summoned using a Phoenix Pinion.

Alexander. It's my favorite name, possibly because of FF8. I like phoenix a lot, but without it being a full-fledged GF it doesn't quite win here because of Alexander's High Mag-RF, Elem Defx4, Revive, Med LV UP(which helps get phoenix pinion if you are loaded) and the fact you get it from Edea (It's almost as if getting it from Ultimecia).

Sorry Baby Boink for the argument, it's mostly my fault. I'll just use edit on my vote posts if something will bug me and hope it will get noticed.

Oh, btw, why isn't moomba on the list. (I loveses moomba.)There should be 22 GFs. (ok, pandemona is a hidden one, but there are also Odin, Gilgamesh and MiniMog) (http://www.ffshrine.org/ff8/ff8_gf.php... omg, I didn't know you can get missed GFs from disc 4 monsters.

Double posting but oh well.

The last combatent going through to round to is Alexander with a win of 12:7

So going through to round 2 is...

Cerberus, Siren, Doomtrain, Diablos, Quezacotl, Carbucle, Brothers , Bahamut And Alexander.

Right as this is a mini rumble im shortening things down a bit.

The next three battles are going to be 1 vs 1 vs 1, You pick the two you want to go through and the one with the least number of votes goes out at the end of the round.

First three drawn are,

Siren - The blond goddess of the sea, Who has the odd tendency to kill one or two people.

vs

Doomtrain - The plague ridden train who is happy to pass his afflictions on to his foes as he runs them over.

vs

Carbucle - The lil green cutie who being a pacifist clearly does his part by granting you the reflect ability.

Right this is actually kinda a toughie for me. But I will say Siren and Carbucle.

Doomtrain - 16

Thats a win for Siren and Doomtrain and we say bye bye to Carbuncle.

The next three to duke it out are...

Bahamut - The king of dragons is back and is flying high.

vs

Cerberus - Are three heads gonna be better then one?

vs

Brothers - Will the sibling Bond be enough to pull these guys through?

Remember the GF with the lowest vote will be eliminated.

My votes are for Bahamut and Brothers Seeing as I never use Cerberus and found his rather a pointless gf.
