Ultima as well

Auto-Life.

i liked them both... but Auto-Life gets my vote..

Ultima cos I'd prefer auto-life didn't exist ;/

Auto-Life.

Ultima, because I used this one at least.

Auto-Life. It saved my ass more times than Ultima ever did.

Auto life, cool ability

Jesus!

I'm werry sorry if I'm going to ruin your life, but I'm new and I don't know how this.. thing.. is going on.. Well.. I just saw something about FFX And thought: "How interresting..."

Man oh man...

I like Ultima best... yes.. I worked frikin' hard to get it...

Auto-Life is far more useful. I just got sick of Ultima after seeing it being used a counter move for any attack.

Auto-Life - 7
Ultima - 5

Hey, welcome to the Shrine!! I hope you have a good time here!! Anyways, a rumble is simply where we take quite a few things of a certain catagory and put them agaisnt one another. Everyone votes for the one the like better (or for any other reason) and then after 2 days, I tally up the votes and the one with the most wins and moves on to the next round. Eventually, we'll end up with one winner. :)

Hastega

vs.

Armor Break

Armour Break.

Hastega.

Armor Break is useful, but Hastega is just better. Gives you lots of extra turns, really helps out.

Hastega was good, but I found Armor Break was more useful for me.

I really like both abilites, but I'm going to give the slight edge to <B>Hastega</B>.

�Armor Break�

hastega speeds it all up so u attack faster

Hastega

Hastega

For me personally on my game, it would be Armour Break since I use Auto-Haste. But in general, I'd say Hastega.

Hastega

Hastega

hastega

Hastega- 10
Armor Break- 3

Curaga

vs.

Threaten

<B>Curaga</B>

Curaga! o(^_^)o

Threaten actually could be useful at times, but I have to go with Curaga too.

Curaga

Curaga. I only used Threaten once.

Curaga.

definitely curaga!!!

Curaga. It's just better! Threaten gonna get its ass kicked...

Curaga. I don't think I ever found Threaten useful.

Curaga

Curaga

Curaga- 11
Threaten- 0

Whoa!!

Steal

vs.

Entrust

We still have a few boring abilities in Round 2 (ie. Bliazzaga, Thundaga).

...Steal

Entrust. It's even better once you start getting it for other characters. Why not transfer the limits of characters like Lulu or Auron to somebody like, say, Wakka or Rikku?

Entrust

Entrust gets my vote.

Even though I rarely used <B>Entrust</B> and used Steal often, I have to go with the seldom one.

Entrust

Despite steal being more useful in the early portion of the game, Entrust is more useful for the harder bosses.

Steal

Steal.

Entrust! I love that ability!

Entrust- 7
Steal- 3

Provoke

vs.

Blizzaga

Bah, both aren't too spectacular, so <B>Blizzaga</B>.

i'll go with provoke

I'll go with Blizzaga

Provoke. Elemental magic sucks in FFX and Provoke can be useful at times, especially sometimes for building up Overdrives, or developing new ways to activate Overdrives.

blizzaga

�Blizzaga�

Blizzaga.

Provoke. I only used those kinda magics if I had too. In the end I only really used Flare and Ultima.

I say Blizzaga

Blizzaga

Blizzaga. I don't use Provoke that much.

Blizzaga cause Lulu

Blizzaga- 9
Provoke- 3

That was sort of unexpected.

Quick Attack

vs.

Full Life

My 2000th post!!!

Full life and Congrats Vivi FF!

yeah vivi congrats. �Full-Life�

Full Life & congrats!

:) Congrats! But here's something different though: I'm voting for Quick Attack. I really liked it, especially once you started getting it for other characters.

Two more abilites that I really like, but I like <B>Quick Attack</B> to be more useful.

Full Life

Full-life

Quick Attack.

Bribe

vs.

Thundaga

Bribe.

Bribe.

thundaga and np vivi on be half of everyone who said congrats...(if they don't mind me saying)

Bribe, 100%! Bribe rocks --- it lets you get all sorts of bonus items that it would be really hard to get otherwise.

Bribe

Bribe.
Cuz Magic isn't that powerfull in this Final Fantasy game.
the strong enemys always have a high Magic defense so even with 255 Magic it's just making something around 25.000hp damage.
And well Thundaga had better days in his looking too.

And bribe, well nuttin' more to say than Agent allready did.

I would have to go with Bride.

Bribe.

Poor Thundaga.

Bribe

Really no match here, Bribe.

~Bribe~

Yeah Bribe it was definately more useful than Thundaga. No question.

�Bribe�

Bribe

Bribe- 13
Thundaga- 2

Regen

vs.

Holy

Last battle of Round 2!

Hmm... tough choice actually... I like Regen.

<B>Holy</B>. Regen is useless once your HP gets really high.

Holy. Personally I found that for what it did Regen was WAY to expensive. Even though Holy costs more Mp its worth the 80 or so it costs.

Regen although, holy is good, too.

hmm tough but i choose holy

Holy. Like Smokey said, regens a waste - and i have never used it anyway.

Holy totally. Regen's a complete waste of MP.

Holy Rocks!

Holy.

I don't bother with Regan that much so Holy.

Holy.

Holy

Theyre both good, but i would have to vote Regen

i like them both but im gonna have to go w/ Regen

I like them both, and usually I like Regen better. But in this case I'll say Holy ;)

Holy- 11
Regen- 4

Bribe

vs.

Blizzaga

hmm.....I don't like bribe...id go with blizzaga.

What's wrong with Bribe? Bribe rocks. Let's send away the last lame elemental magic spell.

ehh...lets see what other people think.

Bribe is a little better than blizzaga..

i dont have bribe yet in the game but so far blizzaga sounds pretty good.

tidus~lulu --- generally we don't hold discussion in the rumbles. You cast your vote and then you move on until the next battle. Any more than that tends to confuse the person who has to conduct the battles and count the votes.

Blizzaga. Cause Ice is my fav spell.

�Bribe�

Bribe

Bribe, again.

Bribe.

Thundaga is the coolest, but not my fav.

Bribe

Blizzaga...out of sympathy =P

Blizzaga

Bribe- 7
Blizzaga- 5

Hastega

vs.

Entrust

Hastega

<B>Hastega</B>, one of the most useful skills in the game.

I'll be personal here, entrust. Auto-Haste renders hastega useless.

Entrust

�Entrust�

Hastega, definately

I'm also with Entrust for the earlier posted reason of Auto-Haste, which is a better ability than Hastega is a magic spell. And Entrust really is pretty cool, and there's nothing else like it that I know of in any FF game.

Entrust.

Hastega

Im sorry. I meant Blizzaga, but it's not my favorite in the game.
This time it's hastega (of course).
Sory again.

Hastega - I haven't gotten entrust yet, so I don't know what it is

Entrust, if i havn't alredy voted =P

Hastega- 6
Entrust- 6

...

Hastega: 9/14 + 10/13 = 19/27 = 70%
Entrust: 6/10 + 7/10 = 13/20 = 65%

Hastega moves on. :)

I'm not big on either, still... Curaga. I guess that one can be rather helpful.

Holy

i heard holy was really good....didnt get there yet but i say holy. what does holy do?

Holy - 10
Hestega - 4

Tidus~Lulu, Holy is just a strong holy-elemental spell on a single target. It's pretty strong, kind of like Flare, but maybe even stronger.

Finals!

Auto-Life

vs.

Holy

I honestly did not see these two making it this far. I thought Quick Attack was going to win!! Oh well. Now it's just down to two of the most powerful white magic spells.

Auto-life is really helpful!

I also don't like these two being in the Finals, but that's just how it turns out sometimes.

So I'll just vote for <B>Holy, for the heck of it.

Holy

i guess holy after reading ur description.

These would not be my choices for the final at all either. Auto-Life

I would vote Quick Attack over any other ability. But it's Auto-Life for this one.

FFX Ability Rumble Winner: Auto-Life

Previous Winners:
Music Rumble: Suteki Da Ne
Character Rumble: Auron
Location Rumble: Luca
Monster Arena Rumble: Shinryu
Aeon Rumble: Shiva
Boss Rumble: Yunaleska

So what should we have next? I'm thinking a FMV Rumble. Any other suggestions or ideas?

Maybe we could do music again! I'm sure the first music rumble wasn't exhastive and there would still be plenty of great pieces we could do. I did with my FFVII one - it was called the "Rumble of the Forgotten Music."

fmv is good you haven't done that yet so yeah or weapon? or is that no good?

has their already been a evuk character rumble? either that or maybe music.

a character rumble could be next it'd be short but you could put any character like kinoc and all sorts of ppl

How about a weapon rumble?

Let's just get a count here so we can see where we are and maybe get things going:

More Music - 2
FMV - 1
Minor / NPC Characters - 2
Weapons - 1


I switch my vote to NPC characters if that'll get things going again.

Why don't you just pick one of the four? The one you'd like to do maybe?
And if this one is done, you'd pick another one of those, until they are gone. So, sooner or later all four will be done. ;)

A great idea, just start from the top.

Alright. I guess we'll do more music then. :) I'll try and get the rumble going tomorrow or Saturday, because I need a lot of time to do homework, etc., and I have to weed out the songs already included in that first rumble, which is not going to be easy right off the bat since Riana (the orginal rumble starter) didn't really write all of the songs out in the beginning, so I'd have to hunt through the first few pages of this topic. So yeah.

NPC's were included in the character rumble (even though the main characters pretty much dominated). This is sort of like why I want to do a wildcard rumble at the end, so everything gets a second chance. :) We could do only NPCs though, but it sort of takes a lot away from the character rumble...

This topic is almost 1.5 years old!! :) And my anniversery for taking over this rumble is Dec. 29th!! Geez, time flies...

Would you mind if we nominated music?

Nope, I don't mind. It'll be easier. :)

Okay. Well, first of all, here's that list of everything that was included in the past edition:

Battle Theme
Boss Theme

Most of these songs titles come from the music spheres from Luca, so it should be very easy for all of you to load up FFX, and check out those music spheres with ease. I'm not sure on the titles from the actual FFX Soundtrack, so if anyone wants to provide those, feel free to do so. And I am definitely hazy on where some of these pieces occur in, so I'll try my best. If you know where/when they occur, feel free to say so. :)

First up:
Bravely Forward (Monster Arena Theme Song)

vs.

Jecht's Theme (?; It plays usually in Tidus's flashbacks concerning Jecht)

The forgotten battle of the first FFX Music Rumble! Don't you just love this little tribute? :)

Don't forget to suggest at least one other piece of music, if you want. :)

EDIT: Waiting for everything to be finished.

Vivi FF - nice work, but "Bravely Forward" was already in the last rumble. It's the same piece as "Brave Advancement." I will pull up both the game and the soundtrack listing this evening and figure out which are which. I'll also try as best possible to reorder them acocrding to game sequence.

Sorry for the delay.

Jecht's Theme. I just heard both of them and i liked his theme better

I don't think we're voting right now, one of the two current candidates was included in the previous edition. I should have that information sometime before 9 P.M. eastern.


Edit: Here's what I've been able to work out so far. If it doesn't have a name beside it, that means it's a match from Sphere Theater to Soundtrack, as far as I can tell.

The Blitzers - Blitzball Gamblers
Wandering - Wandering Flame
Wakka's Theme - No such thing, on either the soundtrack or the Sphere Theater.
Chcobo Jam - Brass de Chocobo
Oui Are Al Bhed - The Al Bhed Tribe's Chi
Ridess the Shoopuf - Ciparf Riding
Bravely Forward - Brave Advancement - Already Used
Beyond the Darkness - To the End of the Abyss
The Burning Sands - Sands of Sanubia
The Ending - Ending Theme
Believe - I Can Fly




Game Over
The Truth Revealed
Jecht's Theme
Someday the Dream Will End
Summoned Beast Battle
The Splendid Performance
Seymour's Ambition
Macalania Woods
Challenge
Otherworld
Lulu's Theme


These are the ones I haven't yet worked out, and I also haven't put anything in order yet:

Phantoms
Moment of Truth
Pursuit
Illusion
Via Purifico
Tragedy
The Wedding
Nostalgia
Gloom (To the End of the Abyss?) - I don't know, but definitely not To the End of the Abyss.

More coming sometime after 10 eastern. I will edit again if nobody responds.



Edit again:

Here are the remaining titles and also everything in order, as best possible:

Via Purifico

Moment of Truth - The Truth Revealed
Nostalgia - Not sure, possibly no soundtrack equivalent. But this is another instrumental remake of Suteki da Ne
Phantoms - Fantasy
Tragedy - Don't know, can't find soundtrack match
The Wedding - Don't know, can't find soundtrack match
Pursuit - Not sure. I do know though that this is the music played when you're inside Sin.
Illusion - Don't know. Can't find soundtrack match.
Gloom - Don't know. Can't find soundtrack match.

And in order, as best I can:

Lulu's Theme
Otherworld
The Blitzers - Blitzball Gamblers
The Splendid Performance
Challenge
Ridess the Shoopuf - Ciparf Riding
Jecht's Theme
The Truth Revealed
Phantoms - Fantasy (I think maybe this plays around the Moonflow area?)
The Wedding
Believe - I Can Fly
Macalania Woods
Chocobo Jam - Brass de Chocobo
The Burning Sands - Sands of Sanubia
Oui Are Al Bhed - The Al Bhed Tribe's Chi
Beyond the Darkness - To the End of the Abyss
Someday the Dream Will End
Wandering - Wandering Flame
Pursuit
Seymour's Ambition
Summoned Beast Battle
The Ending - Ending Theme
Game Over (No, not the ending. Played when you get a game over.)
Nostalgia
Tragedy
Illusion
Gloom

Vivi FF - nice work, but "Bravely Forward" was already in the last rumble.

I know. Both were in the first music rumble, but that particular battle didn't go anywhere, as Raina accidentally didn't tally up the votes, and didn't count that battle as an actual battle. Which means that there were 17 battles in that round, but only 16 of them were counted, and the one with Bravely Forward and Jecht's Theme was actually forgotten. When I took over, I didn't count this battle, so I decided to give the two another chance. :)

If you don't want to, I can just knock those 2 off.

Geez, so much crazy updates. Wakka's Theme is in the Sphere Theather (it's one of the 3 extra tracks), but I honestly can't say I've ever heard in elsewhere in the game. We could scrap this song.

And for the other opening, I would go with Face Off That's good right?

Okay, let's keep going then. I vote for Brave Advancement. (My preferred verison of the title.)

Extra tracks? Is that International? I don't have International.


And for the other opening, I would go with Face Off That's good right?
Not sure what you mean, but it seems good to me to keep going, now that I'm clear on the whole not being counted in the previous edition thing.

After you bought all of the music spheres, and then pretty much get to the end part of Inside Sin, you can go back to Luca and attempt to buy some more extra music spheres. You get Wakka's Theme, Lulu's Theme, and the Hum of the Fayth. Surely, you must have done this!! Haha, the great Agent missed out on something from e years ago!! And it's not on the Int. version, since I got those 3, and I have the U.S.

Ok, let's restart this.

Bravely Forward (Monster Arena Theme Song)

vs.

Jecht's Theme (?; It plays usually in Tidus's flashbacks concerning Jecht)

Note: These two were in the first music rumble, but this particluar battle was forgotten. Don't believe me? Check out the first few (~120) posts of this topic. :D

Same vote as before, with <B>Bravely Forward</B>

Jecht's Theme

bravely forward

I thought I had all the spheres. I certainly was Inside Sin. I'd better check my game and see if those spheres are for sale. If not, something's wrong...
