Ok, we have a rumble for just about every Final Fantasy thread here. But where is the love for these two classics? Let's bring back some respect to these once beloved games, which have now turned into things of the mere past.

The first rumble is going to be, of course, characters. Each character from both games will be on the list, and since both games have 14 characters each on this list, I will randomly choose one character each from these two wonderful games.

FFIV

<B> Cecil-Dark Knight </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Kain-Dragoon </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Rydia-Caller (Child) </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
Tellah-Sage

<B> Rosa-White Wizard </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Yang-Karate Master </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
Cecil-Paladin
Palom-Black Wizard
Porom-White Wizard
Edge-Ninja
Cid-Engineer
<B> FuSoYa-Lunarian </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
Rydia-Caller (Adult)

FFVI

Terra
<B> Locke </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Edgar </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
Sabin
<B> Celes </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Shadow </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Cyan </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Mog </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
Gau
<B> Setzer </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Relm </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
Strago
Umaro
Gogo

First Battle:

Edward

Vs.

Locke

So are we just going to be rotating between casting votes for the FFVI one and the FFVI one?

My vote's for Locke. He was just cooler. "Call me a treasure hunter..."

I. Hate. Edward. I'm ALL for Locke. Die Edward, die die die die die~

I'm probably just going to have a FFIV character vs. a FFVI character for Round 1. After the first fourteen characters are eliminated, which will signal the end of Round 1, I'll decide what to do next.

Edgar

Edgar's not up for a vote. Edward is.

Ok, I guess this is how it came out...

Locke-2
Edward-1

Not too many votes for the first battle, giving Locke a small victory

Next Battle:

Cecil (Paladin)-Strongest character in the game. Was a Dark Knight, but turns into a Paladin on Mt. Ordeals.

vs.

Relm-Granddaughter of Strago. Very smart-aleck attitude, favorite weapons are brushes.

Hmmm...I wonder?

Cecil rocks, but smart-aleck Relm has a place in my heart.

Relm

Relm, due to real family ties. Need I post the spoiler? There is not a shadow of a doubt in my mind that someone knows about the big daddy of this event.

:x

Come on people! Sabin kicks ass! Sabin is the best of the best! I'm all Sabin..

Smokey, I hope you don't mind this, but I think the concept needs re-explaining here. Nobody cares right now what you think of Sabin. Sabin is not up for a vote right now. Return to Smokey's last post and choose for one of the two characters that are currently battling.

Nope, don't mind at all <B> Agent0042 </B>.

I never thought that a little girl would win against one of my favorite video game characters of all time. I can't believe I have to say bye to Cecil.

Cecil(Paladin)-<B> 0 </B>
Relm-2

This is the concept. Only vote for the two characters that are battling each other. I will eventually get to all of them, but for now, just choose between the two characters, which are now...


Rydia(Adult)-gets swallowed by Leviathan as a child, and gets taken to the Land of Summons. Gains incredible black magic, but loses her ability to cast white magic. Also gains more summons.

vs.

Cyan-Protects Doma Castle from all dangers, and is also their best soldier. Wife and child were killed, and has haunting memories of that experience. Later sees them again on the Phantom Train as it pulls away. Often been rumored to have been related to Kain

Have at it!

Cyan was my favorite FFVI character, so he definitely gets my vote.

Ok, we seem to be getting less votes as each battle goes on...come on people, vote! Let's get more competition here

Rydia(Adult)-0
Cyan-1

Or, if you look at it another way...

FFIV characters-0
FFVI characters-3

Next Battle:

Cecil(Dark Knight)-First playable character in the game. Captain of the Red Wings, until dismissed by King Baron for refusal to follow orders. Climbs Mt. Ordeals to bury his guilty past and becomes a Paladin

vs.

Gau-Wild, scavenger boy who lives on the Veldt until you find him. Can learn attacks from countless enemies, and is an underrated character in the game. He has a father, but will not be acknowledged by him.

Another FFVI victory? Fight!

Ok, we seem to be getting less votes as each battle goes on...come on people, vote!
Smokey, you should put a link to the rumble in your signature to promote it. You're also welcome to advertise it at any of the other rumble threads.

My vote this time is for Cecil (Dark Knight.) I never really found Gau's Leaping that useful and he didn't much otherwise interest me. His character theme also wasn't that great.

Cecil wins, hands down.

Cecil rocks.

Cecil should win everything and anything.

i love ff6.. my fav.

but i just have to go with CECIL i mean gau pretty much wasn't that good unless u took hours to make him usefull

CECIL

Ok finally, we got more than two votes on a battle

Cecil(Dark Knight)-3
Gau-0

The first FFIV character advances...

Ok, that completes Round 1A. Four of the twenty-eight characters have been eliminated. Here are the remaining characters...

FFIV

<B> Kain-Dragoon </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Rydia-Caller (Child) </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
Tellah-Sage
<B> Rosa-White Wizard </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Yang-Karate Master </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
Palom-Black Wizard
Porom-White Wizard
Edge-Ninja
<B> Cid-Engineer </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> FuSoYa-Lunarian </B> (Advanced to Round 2)

FFVI

Terra
<B> Edgar </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
Sabin
Celes
<B> Shadow </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Mog </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Setzer </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
Strago
Umaro
Gogo

Round 1B:

First Battle:

FuSoYa-Is a Lunarian from the moon. Tells Cecil that he and Golbez are brothers. Him and Golbez go on a mission to destroy Zemus, but only make him stronger in the process

vs.

Gogo-One of the secret characters. In the World of Ruin, go to the Triangle Island that is located on the NorthEast part of the map. Land there, and encounter the enemy that sucks you into his body. After scaveging the cave for a while, you should find him. Can mimic most actions of your party.

Hmm? How was that the end of a round?

Ah well, whatever. I vote for Gogo. Dont' really remember FuSoYa.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Agent0042
<B> [B]Hmm? How was that the end of a round? </B>

Well, I figured that fourteen battles for a single round...umm...didn't really mingle with me, so yeah.

I have decided to split Round 1 up, thus looking like this:

Round 1A-four battles

Round 1B-five battles

Round 1C-five battles

There, that just seems better to me.

FuSoYa. He was a cool character to have about with all the magic spells available. That and he helped persuade Golbez to... Well... Anyways, FuSoYa gets my vote.

FuSoYa just because think hes a better character than Gogo.

Alright, another victory squeaked out by FFIV

FuSoYa-2
Gogo-1

Next Battle:


Yang-Karate Master and Prince of Fabul. Has strong fighting skills, and his HP grows at an incredibly high rate. Risks his life to save the dwarves in the Underground, but is later found being taken care of my Sylphs

vs.

Strago-the old grandfather of Relm. Lives in the town of Thamasa, and is one of the remaining few descendents of powerful Blue Magic users. Last name is Magus...

Flawless Victory? Fight!

Yang - Yang Rocks

I go with Strago. I'm partial to blue mages and blue magic. Also, the whole Strago (or Stragos, as he was actually originally known) and Relm pairing worked well for me.

Yang, the man. Saved my ass on numerous times. Strago just annoyed me...

Ok, FFVI characters won the first three battles, but now FFIV characters have taken the last three, evening things up at...

FFIV-3
FFVI-3

Oh, and by the way...

Yang-2
Strago-1

The karate master edges out the wise magician.

Next Battle:

Kain-The world's most powerful dragoon. Best friends with Cecil, (during early stage of game). Is controlled by Golbez, and wavers between fighting for the good or evil side. Is a deadly and powerful ally to be reckoned with.
vs.

Sabin-Is a martial artist, and is also Edgar's twin brother. When their father died, Sabin left Figaro, giving up the throne for his own freedom. Studied under Duncan, his mentor, mastering Blitz skills. He searches for Vargas, a student who killed Duncan out of jealousy, thinking Sabin was chosen to succeed him.

Wow, how did these two characters end up battling each other? And how will the best battle thus far turn out? Let's find out!

As much as I'd so like to see Kain get through to the next round, Sabin is the muscle bound man who is just stupidly strong with his Blitz attacks and everything. Sabin wins.

This is a really good battle. But there were other FFVI characters I liked better. I'm gonna go with Kain, he's just cooler for me.

who doesnt like dragoons.kain gets my vote

Well I think these are the two most handy characters in the game. Sabin with his Bum rush and Kain with his jump....But Kain was overall more cool and rad!

Ooh. A tough one, but I'm gonna go with Sabin, because he didn't need a big spear to kick the hell out of everything. Kain's still coll though.

Ok, the best battle thus far brings out a very good competition.

Kain-3
Sabin-2

Hey, someone had to be eliminated...

Next Battle:

Palom: Porom's twin brother, and one of Mysidia's best Black Wizards. Restless and slightly ill-mannered youth, Palom is always being scolded by Porom. Palom, however, has a good heart, and is always the first to volunteer to help someone in need. Likes to show off his growing Black Magic powers, in which he is greatly proud of.

vs.

Setzer: A gambler who likes taking chances and enjoys classy opera. Setzer had his sights on marrying the opera house diva Maria. Instead, he and Celes meet up on accident. Setzer provides the party with the airship.

Not as good as battle as the last one, but hopefully will still be as competitive. Have at it ye folks!

PALOM

Palom had some of the funniest comments...but Setzer with gambling dice or something did 9999 and some times 666 but he usualy did alot and pulled me out of alot of tight places in Kefka's tower.

I'm sorry, I didn't catch your vote here.

Um, Setzer

I'm gonna go with Palom, because he was so stuck up his own a.... Because he was pretty darn vain. :) Palom it is.

Setzer. Palom was only really useful with Porom. :\

Oh man. Setzer for any number of reasons. His theme, his general coolness, my amusement at his being fooled by the whole coin trick thing. Definitely Setzer.

Ok, this battle has now ended, with the results:

Palom-2
Setzer-3

The cool gambler squeaks past the little kid...

Next Battle:

Rydia(child)-young girl from the village of Mist. One of the few people in the world who can cast both Black and White magic. Also, one of the few remaining callers. Her mother, who is also a caller, gets killed when Cecil and Kain defeat her Mist Dragon. Rydia is scared about the situation involving the loss of her mother and shows great remorse.

vs.

Umaro-A powerful beast which towers over his foes. Found deep in the icy caves beneath Narshe, Umaro engages the party through his beast-like warrior instinct. Joins the party after he is defeated.

Last battle of Round 2. Can a little girl beat out this huge beast? Fight!

The little girl can totally beat the huge beast. Umaro is one of those useless extra characters of FFVI like I was grumbling about at another thread. My vote is definitely, 100%:

Rydia(child)

Rydia. She actually got used in my party and actually HAD some use, unlike the hairy beast of FF6...

Ok, Round 2 is now officially complete, and here are the results:

Rydia(Child)-2
Umaro-0

FFVI characters won the first three battles, but now, FFIV characters have stormed back to win five out of the last six. They now hold the lead:

FFIV-5
FFVI-4


Here is an update on the remaining characters that have yet to battle...

FFIV

Tellah-Sage
<B> Rosa-White Wizard </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
Porom-White Wizard
Edge-Ninja
Cid-Engineer

FFVI

Terra
<B> Edgar </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Celes </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Shadow </B> (Advanced to Round 2)
<B> Mog </B> (Advanced to Round 2)


Wow, there are still very strong characters left to fight from FFVI! Will this round be a domination by FFVI? Let's find out!


Round 3


Porom-twin sister of Palom. Is an up-and-coming White Mage in Mysidia Village. She is very calm in both everyday life, and when she is facing danger. Seems to be the brighter of the twins. Keeps Palom in line by administering an occasional "pop" on the head when necessary. However, she still remains very close to her brother.

vs.

Edgar-Is the King of Figaro, and the twin brother of Sabin. Believes that he is a self-proclaimed ladies man, thinking that he has the touch. He is a master mechanic, and has equipped his castle with powerful engines that enable it to burrow and travel underground. He pretends to be an Imperial supporter, but is actually in league with the resistance group the Returners.

Wow, both these characters are half of their respected twin brother/sister! How did this happen? But who will prevail? Duel to the death!

Porom didn't do much but keep Palom in line, and she wasn't that handy in the field always getting killed. But Edgar on the other hand helped alot with his instant kills and Auto crossbow.

So I will go with Edgar.

Edgar was a constant member of my party.

Ergo, I shall vote for him. :) Because he's got some cool lines and some great techniques to use in battle.

Edgar was a cool FFVI character, so I will vote for him.

Ok, I'll end this before it gets too ugly...

Porom-0
Edgar-3

The King of Figaro moves on!

Next Battle:

Tellah-His daughter, Anna, is engaged to the "spoony bard", Edward. He is a powerful mage. Has the rare ability to cast high levels of both white and black magic. However, his old age and short-term memory often causes him to forget his spells. Has a bad temper, and overreacts in certain situations. Tellah will prove himself to be a crucial player, right to the end.

vs.

Mog-A very cool Moogle. Is held hostage in Narshe by Lone Wolf, a pickpocket. After he is rescued by the party, Mog tells them that Ramuh came to him in a dream, telling him that the party was coming his way. Determined to seek answers to his dreams, he joins the party to assist in their cause.

Will this turn out the way I expect it to? Fight!

Definatly Tellah. He saved my ass lots after Mt Ordeals with his Magic 3 spells. Mog wasn't that great...A bit of a disapointmeant really.

I'll go with Mog for this one. He wasn't a disappointment to me.

mog wins straight up.... no doubt about it... he was a good magic user and his moogle charm cut down a lot of battles.... MOG

Mog; clearly the ultimate Final Fantasy character ever.

Kupo!(self explanitry)

Alright, nearing the end of this round.

Tellah-1
Mog-4

Kupo!

Next Battle:

Rosa-Is a very strong White Mage. Is the romantic interest of Cecil throughout the game. Rosa worries constantly about Cecil, whether waiting for him to return after combat or trying to understand his resentment towards the King. When Cecil is cast out of Baron, Rosa follows him out of longing once she hears of his unexpected disappearance in the Village Mist.

vs.

Terra-Once enslaved by the Empire, Terra has a mysterious past and no idea who her true identity is. On her quest for the truth and answers about her life, she feels her own loneliness. She's had no true friends until she meets the Returners and yearns to discover love. Since she is half-esper, half-human, she is able to make a strong connection with Espers of the other world.

This looks like it could be a good battle, but let's find out! Fight!

I still don't understand how the rounds work, but it's okay.

I vote Rosa. I never developed any major attachment for Terra, despite how a lot of other fans seem to really dote on her. I think both Celes and Relm are cooler.

Agreed.

Originally posted by Agent0042
<B> I still don't understand how the rounds work, but it's okay. </B>

Yeah, my rounds aren't as organized as all the other rumbles. But, I guess since I started out with 14 characters on each side, and since I have to do this rumble with two games, I had a little trouble figuring out how to work the rounds. But, I think I got it down.

Hmm, Terra was great with celes and Sabin, but Rosa was the only major healer before Fu Soya.

So Rosa.

I vote Terra. Nine times. Terra wins.
:( I don't believe you people.

Terra. No particular reason its just that i dont like Rosa

I was hoping that I could get one more vote for Terra, so I could break the tie and advance her to the next round. This result shocked me:

Terra-2
Rosa-3

But, that is what makes rumbles...well...rumbles. The upsets!

Next Battle:

Cid-Used to work for the Baronian Empire. World-wide famous for his remarkable achievements, one which includes building the entire Baronian fleet of airships. One of the first to suspects King Baron's odd behavior. Has a "never say die" attitude. When all seems hopeless, he will not hesitate to put it all on the line.

vs.

Celes-Fused with the ability to use magic while she was young, Celes is the only character, besides Terra, who can use magic without having to learn first from Magicite. A former Imperial general, Celes is branded a traitor after having doubts about the Empire.

Can the legendary Cid move past this strong woman? Let's find out.

Fight!


EDIT: I have finally fixed the Rounds, so that they will be easier for you guys to understand.

I hated Cid except for his humorous comments, he sucked in battle but Celes, she ruled all time.

Sorry Smokey. Terra just doesn't do anything for me.


My vote here is Cid, definitely. The classic Cid that was the springboard for FFVII's Cid.

Celes, easily my favorit FF character.
:3 My first character to get to level 99.

I have to choose Cid, he pathed the way for greater Cids to come.
So i chose Cid!

Ok, that battle has ended...

Cid-2
Celes-2

Wow. The first tie in this rumble, and it couldn't have been more of a difficult decision for me to make. This is hard to eliminate one of these characters, but I am making Celes go through. Sorry Cid!

Last Battle of Round 1

Edge-Prince of Eblan, an underground town. He is a true ninja, and is masterful with two weapons. Rubicant, one of Golbez's Four Elementals, leads a devestating attack upon Eblan, slaying many people, including the King and Queen, and sending the survivors to a dark underground refugee. Edge is capable of throwing objects at extremely high velocity, and can amass a variety of Ninja techniques. Edge's only motive is to seek revenge on Golbez and his minions, for slaying his parents.

vs.

Shadow-A highly-skilled mercenary who will do anything for money. Shadow is haunted by dreams of a past life as a thief. His only friend is his faithful dog, Interceptor. Interceptor takes on an unusual friendship with Relm. Shadow and Relm have an unknown relation, as he is able to equip a memento of Relm's departed mother. Can throw most weapons and other objects at enemies, causing huge damage in some cases.

This battle is sure to be a great one! Two mysterious individuals, and two awesome characters. But who will win? Fight!

Um, I don't mean to be like "stop the train" but to be fair, the voting there was actually:

Cid - 2
Celes - 2

Smokey, you have to break the tie.

The mistakes aside, I say Edge was more handy then Shadow seeing as he only appeared at inconvinient times but his story was great with him and relm being a mystery and all, so I go for Shadow.

Well, if we're going ahead and voting then, I vote Shadow too. Oh, and his dog Intercepter! Bark bark!

Thanks <B> Agent0042 </B> I must have just miscounted wrong. I fixed it too.

Um Shadow, one of my most favourite FF Characters ever!

Ok, Round 1 has officially ended. About time too!

Edge-0
Shadow-3

Now let's take a look at how many characters are left for each game.

FFIV-6
FFVI-8

And here are the updates for both games.

FFIV

Cecil (Dark Knight) (Eliminated in Round 2)
<B> Kain </B> (Advanced to Round 3)
Rydia (Child) (Eliminated in Round 2)
Rosa (Eliminated in Round 2)
Yang (Eliminated in Round 2)
FuSoYa (Eliminated in Round 2)

FFVI

<B> Locke </B> (Advanced to Round 3)
<B>Edgar</B> (Advanced to Round 3)
Celes (Eliminated in Round 2)
Shadow (Eliminated in Round 2)
<B>Cyan</B> (Advanced to Round 3)
<B>Mog</B> (Advanced to Round 3)
<B> Setzer </B> (Advanced to Round 3)
<B> Relm </B> (Advanced to Round 3)


First battle of Round 2

Rydia (Child)

vs.

Relm

These girls may be small, but they pack quite a punch. Fight!

Relm was great in my opinion compared to the skills of Rydia as a child.

I forgot Relm was in this one. I definitely vote for her! She can paint my picture anytime.

I am not voting until i am in...
Actually, Go rydia, use your summon! Die bastard FFVI character!

GO GO GO RYDIA!!!!

I vote for Relm

I wanna vote twice but i cant!

And the first battle of Round 2 is a close one!

Rydia-2
Relm-3

<B> Agent0042 </B> is pleased with this outcome. Could Relm be a darkhorse? We will just have to wait and see who she is paired with next.

Second Battle:

Kain

vs.

Celes

Another really good battle in my opinion. Will the Dragoon reign surpreme against Celes? Let's find out!

Fight!

Kain

Kain

Celes

Hard, I loved Kain character wise but Celes would whoop him in a battle. I will go with Celes though.
(level 99)
;)

Funny. I just selected against Kain over at the General rumble, but he gets my vote here. Girls of FFVI other than Relm don't work for me.

Celes

Ok, sorry about not getting this battle finished sooner. Had some computer problems yesterday.

Kain-3
Celes-3

Another tiebreaker. But this one isn't as hard for me as the first one. Kain advances!

Next Battle:

Yang

vs.

Locke

The karate master battles the treasure hunter. Who will prevail?

Fight!

I vote for the FFVI character this time. Locke.

"Call me a treasure hunter and I will rip your lungs out!"

;)

Yea, I go to Locke.

Locke...... I hate Yang because Mr Yang is the dp at my school and hes a real arsehole.

Locke prz

Both characters were pretty cool in my opinion, but I am happy with the results:

Yang-0
Locke-4

Next Battle:

FuSoYa

vs.

Setzer

Now, granted, these two characters aren't most peoples favorites, but this is how the tide washed up. Fight!

No contest here for me. I am definitely going with Setzer.

Setzer 4tw

Setzer

Yeah, Setzer was just generally cool.

Setzer

Alright, we have a clean sweep:

FuSoYa-0
Setzer-5

I'm really not too keen on either of these characters, but oh well. And it seem as if FFVI has complete control over this rumble now.


Next Battle:

Cecil (Dark Knight)

vs.

Edgar

I don't have too much to say about this one, so...

Fight!

Definatly Cecil, he was cool as a paladin and Dark night. His abilitys out played edgars. Sabin was the best out of the two brothers.

Um Cecil, i just dont like Edgar

No, Edgar was the better of the two brothers. I vote for Edgar.

I vote for Edgar, too.

Edgar :D

Ack, I was hoping someone else would cast another vote for Cecil! But, that is how the cookie crumbles sometimes.

Cecil-2
Edgar-3

One of my all-time favorites is no longer.

Next Battle:

Rosa

vs.

Cyan

I really don't think that there is any need to have this battle. But, I just want to see if Rosa gets a vote or not.

Fight!

Right, yes. So long Rosa. My vote definitely goes to Cyan.

Cyan ...

Nah, My Rosa was great. She was one of the first half breed FF characters,

;)

Cyan ^-^

Where is everyone at?

Rosa-1
Cyan-3

Just as I expected, but Rosa got a vote.


Ok, we currently have all the FFIV characters finished for this round. And since there are two left for FFVI, I am just going to let them battle it out to lead us into Round 3.

Final Battle of Round 2

Shadow

vs.

Mog

Will the moogle knock off Relm's father?

Fight!

Shadow was too mysterious for me, he didn't have much of a backing, but Mog was ok. So I vote Mog.

I'm going to vote for Shadow, only because he had more plot.

Mog

Ok, I notice a trend going on here, but I will fix it quickly:

Shadow-1
Mog-2

Not who I would have voted for, but Mog still advances. And that brings us to the end of Round 2!

FFIV

<B>Kain</B> (Advanced to the Semi-Finals)


FFVI

<B>Locke</B> (Advanced to the Semi-Finals)
Edgar (Eliminated in Round 3)
Cyan
Mog
<B>Setzer</B> (Advanced to the Semi-Finals)
Relm (Eliminated in Round 3)

Hmm...interesting. How shall I do the voting, with an odd number of people left? I have a suggestion. How about if we just automatically let Kain advance to the Semi-Finals? I mean, it would be weird to not have both games representing the final four. So, I think I'm just going to go ahead and have Kain advance to the Semi-Finals. Don't hate the player, hate the game!

First Battle of Round 3

Setzer

vs.

Relm

Does this signal the end for the cute little gal?

Fight!

Relm.

yay glithces! ;x

I don't mind having Kain auto-advance.


Now, let's see, the current battle. Both have awesome themes in my opinion. I think both are pretty cool characters. But I will go with Relm, because she cracks me up.

Setzer.

Relm is funny, but I'm a bigger fan of Setzer.

I want to make flash movies of him and Cid from FFVII getting drunk and building airships together. ^^

Relm

I never really could stand relm, so yay Setzer.
Gotta love the Airship.

Yeah, got to go for Setzer too.

Setzer.

Setzer has an airship. Relm has a paintbrush.

Definately SETZER (i'm not a lover of paintings)

Setzer

Ok, we had a descent battle here. Let's hope for this through the Finals!

Setzer-6
Relm-3

I know of one particular shriner that doesn't like this result. But, that is what happens sometimes. sexpot

Next Battle:

Locke

vs.

Edgar

Can the twin brother advance, or will the treasure hunter reign surpreme?

Fight!

I'm going to go with Edgar on this one. I just was more attached to his character.

Oh wow. I'm torn. I really love both of the characters, I used both of them in my party all the time. . . .

Well, at least I'll be happy with anyone who might win.

Ummmmm. . . . . . .Locke.

I always named Edgar after myself, so he�s my choice. Sorry Mandi :P.

Originally posted by Rabid Monkey

I always named Terra after myself, but she was eliminated.

; ;

Edgar power!

My ultimate team was Mog/Edgar/Sabin/Gogo ;x

Locke!


Edgar was really bad at picking up on the ladies, also...I don't like that name...
I called him Lance.

Not to mention, what with my Thief obsession, it's kinda hard for me to go for a Mechanist as oppose to the Thief.
HAHA! I bet that went over everyones heads.

Anyway, yes, Locke pwns.

Edgar

Locke, not too fond of posh characters.

Locke

Ok, I really like these two characters, so I will hate to see one of them go:

Edgar-4
Locke-4

Hey, we've got ourselves another tie folks! Don't hate me if I pick the wrong one, but I am going to advance Locke.

And with that, let's finish off Round 3

Cyan

vs.

Mog

I am anticipated a wonderful final if a certain character from this battle advances.

Fight!

Going with my guy Cyan. Thought he had the best character theme and liked his plot best.

Cyan is clearly superior. next time I play, I'm gonna name him Mr. Thou though, just for that scene in the Veldt.

Kupo!

Cyan.

Mog was cool 'n' all, but I don't have much respect for a marshmellow with trash talk.

Mog :)

Mog >:

although I do really like Cyan as a character.... Mog is just like, too cool

Cyan, his sword skills were usefull.

Cyan >.>

Cyan.

The man is such a bad ass that he laughs between swings on his 4th swordtech.

Kind of nice that Edgar and Locke tied. I love them both. Would have been happy no matter who you advanced. ^^

definatly Cyan

Alright, finally got around to updating this rumble.

Cyan-7
Mog-3

The sword master advances to the Semi-Finals, which is where we finally are!

Kain-FFIV (Eliminated in the Semi-Finals)
<B>Cyan-FFVI</B> (Advanced to the Final)
Locke-FFVI (Eliminated in the Semi-Finals)
<B>Setzer-FFVI</B> (Advanced to the Final)

This looks like the group that I would have expected from the beginning. But I'm a little surprised about Setzer being here.

Semi-Final #1

Kain

vs.

Setzer

Here we go. Can the last remaining character from FFIV advance to the final?

Fight!

Setzer was generally more cool. Setzer.

Let's make it an FFVI final: Setzer.

Oh Kain, I love you dearly, but there's just a very special place in my heart for Setzer.

So yeah, going with the gambler.

Kain all the way. Maybe setzer can gamble his way out of getting a spear up his a**....lol hehe

kain:) ....my hero

setzer

kain. Just because setzer is totally stupid in every way possible....his stupid cards'n junk..

I wasn't going to vote originally, but...

Setzer. Just because Ross is totally Br. in every way possible... his br. posts'n junk...

'cause I like him better than Kain >.>

Setzer

Time to end this one as well. I was thinking of giving this battle another day because of the recent problems with the site, but I decided not to.

Kain-2
Setzer-6

So the gambler rolls the dice and knocks off the Dragoon. And he is one win away from the victory!

Semi-Final #2

Locke

vs.

Cyan

I would prefer this to be the final, but you don't always get what you wish for.

Fight!

NOTE: Also, I am now taking suggestions as to what the next rumble should be about.

well, im still cryin for kain but ill have to go with....

locke

Wow, it's been so long. Hard to believe we're not yet finished with one rumble. I suggest we do some music, music is always good.

I'm definitely voting for my man Cyan. Trying to bring him home here.

well i say Cyan as well.

Maybe a Boss or Weapon Rumble would be fun.

Cyan

Cyan is pwnz Locke.

Cyan' sword tech's won it. Cyan.

Oh god, this is hard.

I'm going to go against the crowd and vote for Locke. A lot of my favorite moments in FFVI involved him.

Locke

If we did music, does anyone know where I can find an original soundtrack for FFIV? I have one for VI, but I have yet to see one for IV.

There you go. (http://gkworld.zoovy.com/product/GKW0082?META=froogle-GKW0082)

I would love to do music. A lot of my favorite pieces are from VI, true, but IV has some great stuff too.

Well, if I did do a music rumble, I would want to hear all the tracks from FFIV first, so I can get a sense of what ones to add. Plus, I don't remember half of them just from reading the song title. Does anyone know where I can listen to those songs?

Eep, I misunderstood what you were asking for.

You can do that here. (http://www.ocremix.org/detailgame.php?gameid=11)

What's this? No votes for two days? Come on people, it's the Semi-Finals!

Cyan-5
Locke-3

The treasure hunter had a good run, but he loses to Mr. Thou.

And here we go ladies and gentlemen. This is the last battle!

FFVI

Cyan
Setzer

Final Battle

Cyan

vs.

Setzer

Will the gambler rise to the occasion, or will the proud Knight of Doma take the crown?

Fight!!!

Cyan!

Oh god, I love them both.

But. . . ugh, I'm so torn.

I guess I'll flip a coin, in true FFVI fashion.

Setzer.

Yaay, time to send Cyan to the win! Cyan is my vote. "Sometimes you just have to show machinery who's boss!"

Cyan

Cyan.

Go Setzer!

Setzer

Ok, I'm still leaving this battle open for at least another day. So let's make this final more challenging.

And I already have the next rumble set up. So thanks to all for the suggestions!

Um im going to go with Setzer.

Cyan

Alright, here we go. The results are now in...

Cyan-5
Setzer-4

And the winner of the FFIV and VI character rumble...is Cyan Garamonde!

I would put a picture of him up, but I can't find any that I really like. Now, how does music sound to everyone? Or should we take a day break?

I for one, am ready to start in on music.

No, Cyan must get his picture! So I've attached one that's kind of comic and cool.

I am ready, bring on the music. Although we can take a small break first, sure.

Ok, here we go with the Music Rumble. This time, the battles are probably going to last only two days each, so hurry up with your vote!

Ok, this is the line-up that I have come up with. Remembering the music is a little harder than characters, so I may need help in explaining where you can specifically hear the music.

Also, I know that this isn't customary to the rumble, but I am going to start voting myself. Any objections?

What's up against what?

Oh, and no objections here.

sounds good to me....literally lol

FFVI - I'm kinda disappointed that the ending is included. It's the best ending theme ever, I think.


but I am going to start voting myself. Any objections?
Well, I suppose you could. But maybe you could just save it for the tiebreakers? That's how I always used to decide tiebreakers before the new format started.

How does the person running it make it unfair in any way though?

I mean, it's just another person voting. Not like his is weighed any differently =\

Well I'm sorry that I can't please everyone with the songs that they would like to see in here. But I had to narrow it down to 16, and it was pretty tough for each.
Ok, if we end up with a tie, then I will decide of a new format to determine a winner. But I'm going to start voting now, because I really want to.

First Battle

Main Theme-This is the music that plays while you are walking around on the World Map.

vs.

Terra's Theme-This music plays on the World Map, after you leave Narshe for Figaro Castle.

I personally believe that Terra has the best FF theme, so I am going to vote for that. <B>Terra's Theme</B> rules all!

Fight!

go cecil..... wait paladin is gone so....................... so dark knight!!!!

Um <B>ff7 forever</B>, you are like way behind the character rumble. It's already finished, so it would be a good idea if you read more of the thread before posting.

i know i'm really late.......................... sorry

Well then why don't you just go ahead and vote for this battle, since we are now doing music. Pick from the two choices that I posted above.

i vote main theme!!! go main theme!!!!! main theme rules!!! i sound like a cheerleader. awww crap. anyways i vote for main theme

Terra's Theme

One of my favorite pieces of music ever.

I know that you can't please everyone with the music choices, but that won't stop me from grumbling a bit. Just how I am I guess. Feel free to pay no attention.

I'm voting here for Terra's Theme here. They are both really good pieces, but I didn't even realize until just now when I listened to Terra's Theme again how much I liked it.


(BTW, notice how I how put my vote in bold. That's something that some people do at the rumbles at another forum I visit, and I'm hoping it's something we can have catch on here. It helps the person running the rumble to quickly determine the vote, while allowing the voter to make their comments at the same time.)


One other thing: for those who want to listen to the music quickly, I definitely recommend the MIDIs over at the FFShrine main site. There doesn't seem to much quality loss at all, if any, and I think they work just fine for determining your choice if you're not sure.

Terra's Theme

I love that song :swoon:

Terra' theme was a masterpiece.

Terra's theme

Terra's Theme

Ok, the first battle of the music rumble is over. Good thing I was able to find a computer and end this one on time.

Main Theme-1
Terra's Theme-7

It's a no-brainer that the correct piece one. But how far can Terra's Theme advance?

Next Battle:

The Final Battle-FFIV-This is the music that plays when you are fighting Zeromus. Goes along great with the background of the fight.

vs.

Kefka's Theme-Well, I think you know when this music is played.

Personally, I am going to vote for <B>The Final Battle</B>. I believe that this is arguably one of the best ending battle themes of them all, and it is probably my favorite still.

Fight!

I loved Kefka's theme.

I'm going to go for The Final Battle on this one, although I don't have a particular attachment for either of them.

I think both of them are fantastic, and it's a shame that one of them is going to be eliminated so early on, but I have to go with The Final Battle.

final battle best song ever!!! almost

The Final Battle

The Final Battle

Ok, sorry about that again guys. I'm still having techinical problems with my Dell after the lightning strike. But I'm finally getting this one updated...

Final Battle-6
Kefka's Theme-1

Hmm, little lacking of votes, eh?

Next Battle:

Mount Ordeals-This is the music that plays while Cecil is on his quest to become a Paladin.

vs.

Forever Rachel-Hear this while Locke is talking to his sweetheart Rachel in the basement of a house.

I forgot the name of the city that Rachel is resting in, so help is always welcome. :)

And I vote for <B>Mount Ordeals</B>. It was just a really catchy tune for me.

You know, neither really excites me much. I'm going to go with Forever Rachel. I'm a sap for that sort of piece and portions of it remind me of the music that played in FFVIII's Deep Sea Deposit, which I kinda liked.


Sorry to hear that the Dell's still having problems. Hope everything's back to normal soon.

About the town, it just so happens that I have a copy of the FFVI script hanging aruond my hard drive, so I checked it for you. According to it, the town is Kohlingen.

I too am a sap for Forever Rachel.

I hope things with your computer get sorted out soon, and you don't have to send it in to get fixed or anything like that. I'd miss you if you were netless for a while.

Forever Rachel, emotional, but better the Mt Ordeals. =)

Forever Rachel

Forever Rachel for me too ;o

Well, ever since the lightning struck right next to my house, the Dell has been terrible. But no computer is perfect, so I guess I just have to deal with it.

I think the problem is that the Dell has two parasites on it. I'm going to remove them, but I will have to re-program everything as a result. And that usually takes me a while.

Yeah, it sucks, and that concludes my rant...

Forever Rachel

Forever Rachel

Whoa, a week long for this battle is too much. Sorry about that guys. I don't want this one to go any longer, so I will quickly update this one while I still have the time.

Mount Ordeals-1
Forever Rachel-7

Next Battle:

Another Moon-While you are on the Moon walking around, you will hear this music.

vs.

Another World of Beasts-I need help with this one as well. Or, just listen to the MIDI on this site, and that should be enough.

I'll have to go with <B>Another Moon</B>.

Another Moon

Eee. Another World of Beasts. I definitely like this one better.

Another World of Beasts, Better in general.

I must confess I had to track down a midi to make sure I knew which piece Another World of Beasts Was, but now that I am sure, that's definitely the one I'm voting for.

Another World of Beasts

help? like where it plays? I think it plays when you're in the esper world, while you're unable to use Terra I believe.

Yeah, when I ask for help, I am usually asking for where the music plays. I was thinking that it was in the Esper World, but I wasn't 100% sure about it. But thanks for telling me.

np ^^ was just asking to make sure

Another World of Beasts

exactly what aerith says.

Well, I was on the losing side of another battle, but that happens. So I'm not going to complain.

Another Moon-3
Another World of Beasts-5

"Another" FFVI music selection advances to the next round.

Next Battle:

Tower of Bab-il-Well, this music plays while you are in the Tower of Bab-il, where else? You are in here right before the Giant of Bab-il comes to Earth.

vs.

Catastrophe-Need help with this one again.

I had to listen to the MIDI of Catastrophe on the Main Site, because I forgot what it sounded like. And I can safely say, that I like <B>Tower of Bab-il</B> a lot more. It's one of my favorite pieces from the game.

Fight!

Catastrophe ^^

Catastrophe

99% sure that it plays after Kefka moves the statues and you see all the bad stuff happening from it.

Hmm, I'd say they're actually about equal for me. I'm gonna agree with Smokey this time and go with Tower of Bab-I, but just barely.

Catastrophe.

Catastrophe

Yep, me too....

Catastrophe

Yup, Plasma is right.

Tower of Bab-il-Well is the track that gets my vote though.

I ended this battle a little late, but nonetheless...

Tower of Bab-il-3
Catastrophe-5

Next Battle:

Dancing Calbrena-While you are in King Giott's castle Underground, you have to fight Calbrena in the back room. You hear this music during that battle.

vs.

Dark World-You hear this music a lot during the later stages of the game. It plays while you are on the World Map for the World of Ruin.

I'm going to go with the FFVI piece this time, and <B>Dark World</B>. I think the eerie sound of it fits perfectly with the mysterious World of Ruin.

Fight!

I'm not a big fan of either, but Dark World is better, purely because it doesn't have the obnoxious drum line.

Dancing Calbrena - but yeah, I think another here where neither are particularly memorable or cool.

Dancing Calbrena

Dark World

Yet another FFVI piece advances to the next round. This is shaping up to look identical to the character rumble.

Dancing Calbrena-2
Dark World-3

Next Battle:

Suspicion-I believe this music plays while Kain is betraying you, and Cecil starts questioning him. He asks "Why are you doing this?". And then, Golbez walks in, and the rest is history.

vs.

The Day After-This music plays after Terra has turned into an Esper and flown off. The exact name of the town is not with me at the moment.

My vote is for <B>The Day After</B>. One of my favorite pieces from FFVI.

If anyone also has scripts for FFIV and FFVI, that would be great. It's been so long since I played both games.

Fight!

Suspicion - oooh, it's my heart! Suspicion, keeps us...

the day after, i guess. don't like either really

Hello, anybody here?

Suspicion-1
The Day After-2

Next Battle:

Lunarians-This music plays while you are on the surface of the Moon. Very eerie music that fits perfectly with the scene.

vs.

The Decisive Battle-This is the main boss music that you hear throughout the game. A catchy tune, and one of the better boss themes.

Fight!

This is a very tough decision for me. I love both pieces, and how they fit with the game. But I still have to go with <B>Lunarians</B>. I just love the weird noises that you hear while you are listening to it.

The Decisive Battle >.>

The Decisive Battle, that was pretty cool. Sorry, but I don't really fancy eerie / weird much.

The Decisive Battle

The Decisive Battle

Lunarians also love this song alot.

Maybe I should just eliminate all the FFIV songs right now...

The Lunarians-2
The Decisive Battle-4

Next Battle:

The Dreadful Battle-The first time you hear this music is while you are on Mt. Ordeals. Once you near Cecil becoming a Paladin, you are attacked by Milon. After he is defeated the first time, it transforms into it's true form. A very difficult fight at this early stage of the game, and the music is dramatic.

vs.

The Last Dungeon-During the time that you spend in Kefka's Tower, you hear this music.

Fight!

Again, I am going with the FFIV piece, and <B>The Dreadful Battle</B>. Without a doubt one of my favorite battle themes from all the FF games. The Last Dungeon just seemed ordinary to me. But there was something about listening to The Dreadful Battle when the game first came out, that made you scared to fight Milon, Kainazzo, Vivalis, and Rubicant. Especially when you have to defeat all four in succession near the end of the game.

Um i'm going to go with The Dreadful Battle here, i don't know why, i just like it.

The Dreadful Battle.

The Dreadful Battle

I'm partial to battle music in general though, 'cause they sound better.

The Dreadful Battle, but just barely though. Looks like an FFIV piece is gonna make it this time.

The Dreadful Battle

Ahh, another occurence where a lone vote pops up after two or three days mysteriously...

The Dreadful Battle-6
The Last Dungeon-0

Was the winner here really that good? Or was the loser really that bad?

Next Battle:

Prelude-FFIV

vs.

Prelude-FFVI

Yes, I know these pieces are very identical throughout the whole series. But still, I thought it would only be fair if we let these two battle. With that said, I'll go with the <B>FFIV</B> version. I think it is still the best one of them all.

Fight!

NOTE: You must vote for Prelude here! Mwa ha ha!
