First Battle!

Fishermans Horizon

vs.

Timber

You know the score now!

FIGHT!

Fisherman's Horizon over Timber for me.

Fishermans Horizon for some reason.

Fisherman's Horizon because it has nice music and is very open.

Timber why would I vote for a unimaginative floating city. "this is where the fishermen come to fish.

Fisherman's Horizon because it has nice music and is very open.

+1

Fisherman's Horizon

Fisherman's Horizon. A peaceful place in comparison to Timber.

Fisherman's Horizon because I love the music there and it's very peaceful.

Even thought its pretty pointless. Timber Gets my vote as I prefer the town. Its much more of a town then FH.

Fisherman's Horizon sorry Timber!

FH

I just dont really like timber, its too much of a cliche. And for a world thats made of gardens that can fly and have battles, i think FH was far better. (whats with that huge solar panel thingy anyways?)

Fisherman's Horizon over Timber for me.

Fisherman's Horizon

FH

Stick an M on the end and it'll be even better.

Even thought its pretty pointless. Timber Gets my vote as I prefer the town. Its much more of a town then FH.

Fisherman's Horizon because it has nice music and is very open.

Final Fantasy 8 was by far, one of the worst games I've ever played in my life. Respect FF7 and Green Soldier Dude!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, great way to contribute DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fucking brilliant.

Timber, btw.

Why would we want to resect FFVII? It didn't even have respectable villains.

Final Fantasy 8 was by far, one of the worst games I've ever played in my life. Respect FF7 and Green Soldier Dude!!!!!!!!!!!


Wow, great way to contribute DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fucking brilliant.

Timber, btw.


Yes, Siefer was a total knock off of my awesomeness.

And you Cornsey:

FF7 had me, Rufus in it. And the greatest, and most respected FF series God, Sephiroth.

Fisherman's Horizon

Even thought its pretty pointless. Timber Gets my vote as I prefer the town. Its much more of a town then FH.

Fishermans Horizon because of the music

Fishermans Horizon

Even thought its pretty pointless. Timber Gets my vote as I prefer the town. Its much more of a town than FH.

OK let's see how this rather long battle has turned out!

Fishermans Horizon - 17

Timber - 4

So FH wins there by a pretty large margin!

Next Battle

9. Cactuar Island

vs.

11. Galbadia Missile Base

FIGHT!

Galbadia Missile Base --- fun stuff to do, even if it does get destroyed and you can't go back.

Cactuar Island! :D

Galbadia Missile Base

Galbadia Missile Base --- fun stuff to do, even if it does get destroyed and you can't go back.

Galbadia Missile Base --- fun stuff to do, even if it does get destroyed and you can't go back.

Cactuar Island. Simply put, it provides much needed AP.

Galbadia Missile Base --- fun stuff to do, even if it does get destroyed and you can't go back.

That and cool music make this a no brainer.

Galbadia Missle Base

Cactuar Island I go there much more frequently.

Ah, I'll go with Galbadia Missile Base.

Galbadia Missile Base

Cactuar Island

both are pretty boring but ill go for cactaur island

Galabadia Missile Base Good development for Selphie in there

cactuar island

Cactuar Island

Galbadia Missile Base --- fun stuff to do, even if it does get destroyed and you can't go back.

Galbadia Missile Base

Let's see who got the better of who!

Cactuar Island - 7

Galbadia Missile Base - 11

The cactus men are coming to needle all those who didn't vote for their island! ;_;

Next Battle

Balamb Garden

vs.

Edea's House

FIGHT!

Balamb Garden is much better.

Edeas house Cause of the cool flashbacks with lil baby selphie, Irvine, Zell and Quistis they were great.

Balamb Garden

The flashbacks in Edeas house was like "Saved by the Bell" crossed with "Dawsons Creek".

I like the location of Edea's House.

Edeas house Cause of the cool flashbacks with lil baby selphie, Irvine, Zell and Quistis they were great.

Balamb Garden - kick ass mofo biatch thingybobmagigyma

Edea's House all the way.

Balamb Garden is much better.

Balamb Garden is much better.

Edea's House was quite dissapointing, and in this battle,

Balamb Garden ftw, though. =)

Balamb Garden is much better.

Balamb Garden

Although I like Edea's House just before you go to Ultimecia castle I'll vote for Balamb Garden

Is anyone gonna update???

I am definately going for Balamb Garden. I mean who would want Edea's house? It could get brutally burgled by a Blitz or a Jelleye.


Is anyone gonna update???

Please refrain from making non-voting posts in rumble threads. If you feel that it hasn't been updated for a while, please send a Personal Message to the user regarding your query who is in charge of the rumble. Thank you.

I generally try to update this every 4 days, I like to stretch it out so that we can get the maximum amount of votes possible.

CorroDedSouL - I did actually say that if I was later than a week to PM me, but you might not have read it, so no worries.

OK, let's round this up.

Balamb Garden - 10

Edea's House - 4

A few less voters this time folks! But either way, it's clear who the winner is!

By the way, to make things slightly more interesting, I was thinking of implementing a voting system like that used by Ndi in "The Battle of the Waynes" in General Discussion a few months back. If anyone can remember it they'll know what I mean, either way I'll be PMing Agent0042 about it at some point to see what he thinks. I think it's a really interesting way of voting. But I'll go into details nearer to the end of this Edition.

Next Battle

6. Esthar

vs.

8. Ultimecia's Castle

FIGHT!

Ultimecia's Castle.

I've never seen this "Battle of the Waynes," but I'll be interested to hear about this, Rapture.

Esthar --- it's bigger, has cooler music and just generally more interesting and more to do / more plot.

Esthar

also, i do not remember this 'Battle of the Waynes'. fill me in sometime Lewis ~

Xenophobic Esther

I also dont remember this battle. So look forward to seeing it

Esthar, but only because there's more scenes there. The theme song, Silence and Motion really pissed me off.

Ultimecia's Castle

toughie....Ultimecia's Castle because as new as Esthar is..it's not as appealing as the megaman version of a technological advancement.

Esthar for reasons aforementioned.

Ultimecia's Castle because I enjoyed the battles there.

toughie....Ultimecia's Castle because as new as Esthar is..it's not as appealing as the megaman version of a technological advancement.

Sorry about that, Rapture.

Esthar, because i think Laguna makes a cool president.

A giant futuristic metropolis with sublime aesthetics is just a bit more cooler than the floating medieval/gothic castle.

Esthar.

Hey, why not read the thread and post a vote instead of a meaningless one-word message, eh? --- Agent0042

Ultimecia's Castle is my favourite of the 2, Esther is very futuristic... Something I don't take a liking of.

Esthar

Esthar, because i think Laguna makes a cool president.

Indeed! But even still I'll go for Ultimecia's castle. Esthar looked like a garbage bin of florescent tubes.

i HATED esthar - it was just too futuristic for me and the people there were so annoying and cocky...

Hence - Ultimecia's Castle

Ultimecia's Castle-Amazing art direction aswell as music.

Lets round this up!

Esthar - 8

Ultimecia's Castle - 9

Closest battle we've had! Ultimecia's Castle scrapes the win!

I've discussed the voting system with Agent0042, within the next few rounds I will explain it. It sounds more complicated than it is, and so we're giving it a go.

Next Battle:

Edea's House

vs.

Winhill

FIGHT!

Edeas house Baby Sefie ftw

Edeas house Baby Sefie ftw

Winhill is too big for so little people and Edea's House is much preferable to me.

Hrm, I'm going with Edea's House / the orphanage on this one.

Okay, this round goes to Edea's House.

Edea's House.

Winhill

Edea's House.

I say Winhill, but its losing by alot, :(

Ermmm... Winhill I suppose, I do like flowers after all.

Winhill, not as bleak and cold.

Okay, this round goes to Edea's House.

its more relevant to the story line than winhill....

Winhill for the surrounding.

Winhill Love the towny feel.

Winhill cause its and awsome secluded town it would be and awsome vacation spot.

OK, a bit late on this one, been super busy:

Winhill - 7

Edea's House - 7

Hrm. I'll go for Edea's House, since it's more important, despite it housing a questionable plot twist.

Next Battle

Galbadia Garden

VS.

Shumi Village

FIGHT!

Hrm. Not a big fan of either. Galbadia Garden, though, 'cause cool mobile battles and major fights of plot importance. Also, Irvine's home garden.

Galbadia Garden for its music and the battle with Edea/Ultimecia.

Galbadia Garden for its music and the battle with Edea/Ultimecia.

Shumi Village. Provided me with the Phoenix Pinion which saved my ass quite a few times.

I'll go with Galbadia Garden as well because I love the Garden battle.

Galbadia Garden

Galbadia Garden for its music and the battle with Edea/Ultimecia.

Hmmm I really don't like Galbadia's music, it makes it seem too depressing and formal and dull. And Shumi Village is cute. Look at all the Moombas!

I'm going to follow my heart, and choose for Shumi Village.

I'm going to follow my heart, and choose for Shumi Village.

Galabadia Garden As I like the garden versus Garden battle

Galabadia Garden As I like the garden versus Garden battle

Shumi Village

Shumi Village...so nice and quite...fun side quest as well.

Galbadia Garden

Galbadia Garden is where you get Cerberus and Alexander, two of my favourite summons.

Shumi Village, however, is the home to a boring shitty sidequest.

OK let's see how this went!

Galbadia Garden - 10

Shumi Village - 6

Relatively close battle - But the garden takes the win!

Next Battle

10. The Ragnarok

vs.

12. Balamb Town

A tough one?


FIGHT!

Balamb Garden

The Ragnarok --- Balamb Town wasn't very interesting to me generally.

Balamb Town

The Ragnarok --- Balamb Town wasn't very interesting to me generally.

I never found Balamb Town interesting at all.

The Ragnarok.

Balamb Town Love the whole beach feel and the music captivates it well.

Balamb Town

It's a slow town, which is good. Ragnarok is a slow airship, which is annoying.

Balamb Town

Balamb Town Love the whole beach feel and the music captivates it well.

The Ragnarok

RAGNAROK RLUses.

Balamb

Propogators suck...:P

Balamb, nice vibe to the town

Balamb. Like others said, I just like the feel of it.

Balamb Town...quiet, small, slow that and in Zell's room you can play with the punching bag :)

Balamb.

Balamb

Balamb

Updating this in a couple of hours guys ^^

:) Looking forward to it!

OK let's see (yeah real busy week guys!!)

Balamb Town - 15
Ragnarok - 5

Wow, by a win of 2/3, Balamb Town takes the win there.

Next Battle

14. Trabia Canyon

vs.

16. Lunar Gate

Dang all these spelling underlines! Firefox 2 wants to be glad it's great for other things as well!

This is also the last battle in Round 2, the semi's are next!

FIGHT!

Rapture --- you could try disabling the custom spell-check, or add words from Final Fantasy to your Custom Dictionary by right-clicking, as I've done.


Lunar Gate, I suppose, though neither of these locations are great.

Lunar Gate, I suppose, though neither of these locations are great.

Lunar Gate.

Yea I'm not really a fan of either but if I had to pick, Lunar Gate.

Oops I need to learn to read.

Chainging the vote for the Lunar Gate

No, it's Trabia Canyon, not Garden.

Balamb Town...quiet, small, slow that and in Zell's room you can play with the punching bag :)

damn I didn't even know that I feel dumb.

Lunar Gatefor me.

Lunar Gate

Trabia Canyon

Lunar Gate

Lunar Gate.

Lunar Gate. both locales arent great,but Lunar Gate sounds better.

Trabia Canyon

Trabia Canyon


~~

Trabia Garden-Backgrounds of the ruined and cracked Garden were fantastic.

Den you made the same mistake as me. Its Trabia Canyon not garden man ;)

Lunar Gate

Trabia Canyon I strongly disliked the entire Space part :/

trabia canyon

Lunar Gate, having trouble remembering the canyon :(

OK rounding this one up :)

Lunar Gate - 14

Trabia Canyon - 6

So more than double of the votes get to Lunar Gate here, and Trabia Canyon, a pretty small part of the game anyway, leaves the competition.

We're also into the quarter-finals now, so we should be considering what to get up next. I'll also likely try and use this new voting system for that set!

Here are the remaining 8:
1. Balamb Garden
2. Edea's House
3. Galbadia Garden
4. Ultimecia's Castle
5. Galbadia Missile Base
6. Balamb Town
7. Fisherman's Horizon
8. Lunar Gate

Next Battle

Ultimecia's Castle

vs.

Balamb Town

FIGHT!

Ultimecia's Castle, no contest.

Balamb Town

Ultimicia's Castle was far more interesting and has a dark atmosphere to it.

Thought it was Balamb City, but oh well, i vote for Ultimecia's Castle because there's a LOT more there :P

Certainly Ultimecia's Castle. Not my absolute favorite location in the game, but definitely that over Balamb Town.

Ultimecia's Castle, no contest.

Ultimecia's Castle

Balamb Town

Balamb Town Bitches. Ultemicias Castle had a very annoying element to it.

Ultimecia's Castle, no contest.

Ultimecia's Castle, no contest.

Ultimecias Castle.

Ultimicia's Castle was far more interesting and has a dark atmosphere to it.

I was away this week which explains this late update!

Balamb Town - 3

Ultimecia's Castle - 11

Less votes this time round, but we can still see that the last castle has a clear victory!

Next Battle

5. Galbadia Missile Base

vs.

8. Lunar Gate


Fight!

Oh... Galbadia Missile Base I suppose. Because going crazy and blowing stuff up and sneaking around is still fun.

Galbadia Missile Base

Galbadia Missile Base. Welcome back barretboy!

Galbadia Missile Base

Bleh I suppose Galbadia Misslie Base is the lesser of two evils.

Galbadia Missile Base

Aye, Missile Base

Lunar Gate

Missile Base.

Lunar Gate

Missile Base

Christmas really delayed this!

Lunar Gate - 2

Missile Base - 13

A big win for the Missile Base, and it's through!

Next Battle

Balamb Garden

vs.

Galbadia Garden

Battle of the Gardens, FFS Rumble Style!

FIGHT!

Balamb Garden

Galbadia Garden!

I usually vote for music which in this case was better in Balamb Garden, however Galbadia Garden is just too awesomely designed to vote against. One Galbadia Garden, please.

Have to vote for Balamb Garden.

Have to vote for Balamb Garden.

Like both but Galbadia Garden is too open and I find that Balamb Garden feels more like home.

Balamb garden

Galbadia had an ingenious design and nice music, cerberus was fairly useful, not to mention, a labyrinth-type layout.

Balamb Garden

Balamb Garden :)

Galbadia Garden

Balamb Garden, if only for the music.

OK, a bit late one this one, been busy with work and issues with the PC!

Balamb Garden - 8

Galbadia Garden - 4

And so Balamb Garden gets the win with double the votes!

Next Battle (and last battle in this round)

Edea's House

vs.

Fishermans Horizon

FIGHT!

Fisherman's Horizon <3

Edea's housem FH is just a pit stop, not too much to do.

Let's make it one for Fisherman's, although I don't care much for the hippie mayor and his wife.

Fisherman's Horizon

Fisherman's Horizon, great music scene/concert.

Let's make it one for Fisherman's, although I don't care much for the hippie mayor and his wife.

Hm....

Edea's House.

Edea's House.

Brings out a lot more of the plot than FH.

Edea's House; I didn't like either but ultimately, I don't like fishing.

Fisherman's Horizon, great music scene/concert.

Edeas House.

I liked Edea, cool character, and the place is important to the story, much more so than FH.

Fisherman's Horizon

Edeas House.

Fisherman's Horizon

Edea's House

Fishermans Horizon

Right-o, this one's been a long time a-comin. Apologies, but those that know me in any way will know that I'm a busy.. forgetful fool.

Edea's House - 7

Fishermans Horizon - 9


Sooooooo just a slight win there for Fishermans Horizon! And now we're onto the

Semi-Final:

1. Balamb Garden
2. Ultimecia's Castle
3. Galbadia Missile Base
4. Fisherman's Horizon

We've narrowed it down from a sizeable 32 down to a top 4. Now the elimination process continues!


.. Next Battle!

Ultimecia's Castle

vs.

Fishermans Horizon

FIGHT!


NB: What do you guys think should be next on the agenda? PM me or post it right here along with your vote!

Fishermans Horizon

Magic, NPC's or GF's.

Ultimecia's Castle, by quite far.

Ultimecia's Castle

Eesh, tough one. But, I'd have to still say Fisherman's Horizon for the same reason as before.

Fisherman's


And next up, how about we do quotes? Oh, and aren't we supposed to be starting that new voting system on this next one? "The Battle of the Waynes" or whatever it was called?

I wouldnt normally vote for Fisherman's Horizon except its up against somewhere i dont really like...sooo......

Oh, and aren't we supposed to be starting that new voting system on this next one? "The Battle of the Waynes" or whatever it was called?

Yep indeed, we're starting that one off in the next one.

I'll start explaining it when I update this battle.

Fisherman's Horizon

Ultimecia's Castle had a great atmosphere to it, but I didn't like how she sealed nearly all commands. Fisherman's Horizon lived up to it's name...a nice, relaxing place for...old people, lol. I did like the grandfather and son down at the pier though.

Ultimecias Castle, cause Ultimecia was cool.

Fisherman's Horizon. Like Alexandria, I probably would have liked Ultimecia's Castle more if the abilities weren't locked, but there still wasn't as much to do there as FH once they were unlocked.

Fisherman's Horizon

Ultimecia's Castle by a long shot.

Castle rock

Ultimecia's Castle

Ultimecia's Castle.


Magic, NPC's or GF's.

x2

I like NPCs out of those three choices.

NPC's. Magic doesn't really have much competition, there are too few GF's, so... yeah.

OK let's update!

Fishermans Horizon - 7

Ultimecia's Castle - 6

A close battle, but by just -one- vote, FH takes the win over what I thought would be a finalist!

Right, I think we have a collection of "regulars" now, so I think this new voting system could work well, even if we only implement it in one topic.

Here is how it works in steps (assuming we use NPC's):

1. All 16/32 of the NPC's will be open for voting in each round, and they will be posted every time I update.
2. Each voter has a certain amount of "points" to use, to vote for OR against an NPC
3. You can use these points however way you want; if you want to vote FOR something, just say [NPC] +[x] and if you want to vote AGAINST something, say [NPC]-[x]

For Example:

- In the FIRST round, voters have 4 points to spend, and I may choose:

Fujin +2
Cid -2

OR I could say:

Fujin +1
Cid -1
Raijin +2
Zone -1

So basically the points are available for whatever way you want.

And at the end of each round:

- I take give the voted for/against NPC's their points/reductions and the lowest are eliminated.
- NOTE: It may take two rounds for me to distinguish between the ones who are definitely losing.

ANY QUESTIONS: PM me, or if they're just quick ones, just ask in here. It really is a lot simpler than I assume it looks!

Okay!

Next Battle

1. Balamb Garden

vs.

3. Galbadia Missile Base

Those renewed rules sound good to me already. :D

And,

BALAMB GARDEN~

Galbadia Missile Base

Balamb Garden on this one.

Balamb Garden too.

Balamb Garden

Balamb Garden it is.

I'm gonna say Balamb Garden

Balamb Garden

Balamb for on site t-rex use.
