Holy Lance and Rebirth Ring.

Dragon Crest owns and Auto-Life and Revive are really useful.

Coral Sword and Rebirth Ring

Coral Sword and Rebirth Ring.

Lets end this.

Weapons

Coral Sword- 2

Holy Lance- 9

Accessories

Rebirth Ring- 9

Rosetta Ring- 2

So to Easy wins there for the Holy Lance and the Rebirth Ring
Moving straight on in the next battle we have.

Weapons

Tiger RacketThis is one for Eiko and Garnet. Its the most powerful of the racket weapons as far as I know. It can allow these two to learn Dispel.

vs

Masamune Heres one for Zidane. It is one of his Double edged blades not his daggers. It allows him to learn Sacrifice. And when you use Soul blade while this is equiped you can inflict doom.

Accessories

Angel Earings These Earings allow the wearer to learn the following skills. Reis Wind (Freya Only) Auto Regen and Mp+20% So as you can see it is a beneficial equipment not only to freya. But to quite a few of the team.

vs

Pumice Piece Can be equipped by everyone. But is only really useful for one Person. That would be Garnet. It allows her to learn boost from a single piece. Then when you gain the full Pumice she can then learn Arc. But this is only the pumice piece which is in this battle.

My vote this time round is.

Tiger Racket and Angel Earings

Tiger Racket and Angel Earrings

Masamune and Pumice Piece

I'll take Masamune because the rackets just aren't great. Also Angel Earrings

Masamune and Angel Earrings

Masamune (one of Zidane's finest double-bladed swords)

and Pumice Piece (for the connection with Eidolons)

Ok the results are in.

Weapons

Tiger Racket- 4

Masamune-8

Accessories

Angel Earings- 9

Pumice Piece- 3

So two easy wins for the Masamune and Angel Earings there.

Lets keep it moving.

Weapons

High Mage Staff- The first of Vivis weapons to join the rumble. This is his pann-ultimate weapon and allows him to learn the might ability Meteor and also Osmose

vs

Lamias Flute- Another of Eikos weapons in the mix, Her second weapon you get I believe. It allows her to learn, Float, Stona and Silence

Accessories

Gaia Gear- This pretty neat accessory allows the wearer to learn, Insomniac, Osmose and High Tide so a pretty useful piece of clothing.

vs

N-Kai Armlet- This armlet allows the wearer to learn the abilities Undead Killer and Bandit

So cast your votes once again my prettys and we shall see what happens.

High Mage Staff and Gaia Gear for me as they were far more useful.

Though I'm not a Vivi fan, High Mage Staff is way better than the flute. And N-Kai Armlet is pretty cool, if I recall correctly, it also taught Water magic.

High Mage Staff, and Gaia Gear.

High Mage Staff, and Gaia Gear.

Though I'm not a Vivi fan, High Mage Staff is way better than the flute. And N-Kai Armlet is pretty cool, if I recall correctly, it also taught Water magic.

Lamia's Flute and Gaia Gear

Though I'm not a Vivi fan, High Mage Staff is way better than the flute. And N-Kai Armlet is pretty cool, if I recall correctly, it also taught Water magic.

Ok I know I shouldn do this. But vote people. Come on get em in.

Gaia gear , High mage stuff

High Mage Staff and Gaia Gear for me as they were far more useful.

High Mage Staff and Gaia Gear. Just a few of the neccasary items for a Vivi enthusiast.

alright lets rack them up.

High Mage Staff- 9

Lamias Flute- 1

So Almost a total blow out for Eiko there. Maybe she got a sympathy vote?

Gaia Gear- 7

N-Kai Armlet- 3

Ok so the Gaia Gear is obviously the more liked of the two.

Alright moving straight on.

Weapons

Silver Fork- So Quina stabs her way in to the battles with her pan-ultimate weapon. As with all of her weapons. It only allows her to learn High Tide

vs

Ice Brand- Another of Stieners comes in to play. This sword will teach him the Ability Mental break

Accessories

Robe of lords- One of the most powerful armours in the game. It allows the wearer to learn, Reflect-Null and Concentrate

vs

Ribbon- Again another powerful piece of equipment. Allows the wearer to learn, Ability up and allows Eiko to learn Madeen so for an eiko user its very useful.

Im gonna go with Silver Fork and Ribbon This time round.

Ice Brand only because all Quina weapons suck and Ribbon. I think Ribbon also teaches her Guardian Mog.

Ice Brand & Ribbon

Ice Brand & Robe of Lords

Ice Brand and Ribbon

Ice Brand and Ribbon

Silver Fork and Ribbon

Silver Fork and Ribbon

Ice Brand. It's just that much a better weapon.

Robe of Lords. One of the best armours, and it beats the FFIX Ribbon.

Ice Brand for elemental usefulness.

Ribbon: omg it absorbs wind AND water instead of just resisting wind 100% like the robe. And it adds a little magic defense and evade, not just magic defense like the robe.

Ribbon: omg it absorbs wind AND water instead of just resisting wind 100% like the robe. And it adds a little magic defense and evade, not just magic defense like the robe.

ok I should really update this. Its not gonna be an amazing update as im really not in the mood atm guys.

Weapons

Silver Fork- 4

Ice Brand- 11

Accessories

Robe of lords-2

Ribbon-13

So the Ice Brand and the Ribbon easily pass through to the next battle.

next up we have

Weapons

Dragons Hair- Freyas ultimate spear, It allows her to learn Dragons breath It is a weapon every Freya user would go out of their way to find and use as it is her best one. Although the ability it teaches her is kinda crap.

vs

Mace of Zeus- Another ultimate weapon. This one is for Vivi. It allows him to learn the most powerful black magic in the game Doomsday But it is as bad as Dragons breath in a way. As it massacres your own team. Unless you have shadow armour on.

Accessories

Dark Gear- A useful piece of armour indeed. Allowing the wearer to learn Clear headed and Jelly The only flaw I found with this armour. Is that it cost way more then it was worth. Well in my opinion anyways.

vs

White Robe- The ultimate robe for a white mage. More so Eiko then Dagger. As it allows her to learn the mighty magic Holy along withLoudmouth and Auto-potion

A pretty hard battle there on both parts. But my love for Freya makes me choose Dragons hair and as Holy did save my ass against a few monsters Im gonna have to go for the White Robe

Mace of Zeus and White Robe

Mace of Zeus and White Robe because

1.) I used Vivi much more
2.) The White Robe has better abilities.

Mace of Zeus and White Robe

:P

Dragon's Hair and White Robe

I've been asked to do the updating for a bit, so let's get the results on this one:

Dragon's Hair - 1
Mace of Zeus - 9


Easy one there. Zeus wins easily. But what about the other?

Dark Gear - 0
White Robe - 10


That's a blowout! White Robe it is for that, definitely.

Okay, next up. Doesn't look like there's a complete list of contenders, but I'll play it by ear.

Weapons:

The Ogre (A relatively early weapon for Zidane. This has the added status Darkness.)

vs.

Blood Sword (This is a sword for Steiner. Obtained by the Stellazio. This one can be useful, as it absorbs HP.)


Accessories / Add-Ons:

Lapiz Lazuli (This little gem gives Ability Up and Accuracy+. It is also needed for the Friendly Monster quest.)

vs.

Dark Matter (This provides a couple of stat boosts and allows summon of Odin.)

The Ogre and Dark Matter

I found The Ogre to be totally useful for quickly finishing random battles in that point in the game.
Also a great help for the monster tournament.

Dark Matter was almost a necessity for me in the battle against Ozma.

Blood Sword and Dark Matter.

Blood Sword and Dark Matter.

Blood Sword and Dark Matter

Blood Sword and Dark Matter

The Ogre and Dark Matter

Blood sword would have been a great weapon if it hadn't been so terribly underpowered, but the damage was way too low for it to really be useful.

Blood Sword and Dark Matter.

Lets get a few more votes in here before I update guys

Blood Sword and Dark Matter

blood sword which is a brilliant weapon for stenier in disk 2. and dark matter which once garnet has learnt odin it can be used to deal 9999 on anyone, or it can be synthesised.

The Ogre and Dark Matter

Blood sword would have been a great weapon if it hadn't been so terribly underpowered, but the damage was way too low for it to really be useful.

The Ogre & Lapiz Lazulli

how can anyone vote against dark matter, its a legend item
but a opinion is a opinion

The Ogre and Dark Matter.

I actually completly forgot about this.

so lets get it moving again.

Blood sword-7

the Ogre-5

Accessories

Lapiz Lazuli- 1

Dark Matter- 11

So blood sword and Dark Matter advance.

Next up issssssssssssssssssssss.....

Weapons

Kains Lance Another for Freya in the mix. One of her more powerful ones. It teaches her Dragon's Crest, Cherry Blossom and White Draw

vs

Fairy Flute Eiko also gets another weapon in. This one allowing her to learn Esuna, Regen and Haste

Accessories

Power Belt This belt allows the wearer to learn Mp Attack, Counter and Allows Vivi to learn Fira

vs

Running shoes- This fancy boots allow the learning of Auto Potion, and Auto Haste

I go for Kains lance cause Freya and Power belt as I prefer it

The Fairy Flute is pretty cool and I like Eiko. And no doubt the Auto-Haste on the Running Shoes is really sweet.

The Fairy Flute is pretty cool and I like Eiko. And no doubt the Auto-Haste on the Running Shoes is really sweet.

I liked Kains Lance because the of Dragon's Crest.

And who the hell does not like Auto-Haste?
Running Shoes.

Weapons

Octagon Rod- Another of Vivis enters the frey. This one allowing him to learn Firaga, Blizaga and Thundaga

vs

Cypress Pile- Yes the gods of fate have stuck two of Vivis staffs against each other. This one allows him to learn Demi Break and Comet

Accessories

Desert boots These Nifty boots allow the wearer to learn Flee Gil and thats all I can remember about these ones tbh as I couldn find them anywhere on my saved games. Sorry

vs

Golden Hairpin- This pretty little hair piece teachs you the abilities Auto Regen and Loudmouth

My votes are for. Octagon Rod as I found all three magics from that weapon useful. Whereas Demi and Break are useless. Also Golden Hairpin for auto regen

Hrm --- Octagon Rod 'cause rarity and Golden Hairpen, I suppose.

I choose the Cypress Pile's ability to confuse as it works better when there are single monster encounters even if the ability accuracy may be less..over Octagon Rod's trouble effect.

And Desert Boot's two-element effect gain of earth def +50% and water attack up 100% over Golden Hairpin's massive magical defense addition of 32 pts.

Octagon Rod was more useful against elemental fiends. And Golden Hairpin for its Auto-Regen ability.

It's the Octagon Rod and the Golden Hairpin for me. :)

It's the Octagon Rod and the Golden Hairpin for me

Cyprus Pile and Golden Hairpin

Next up

Weapons

Excalibur- This is one of Steiners most powerful weapons and allows him to learn a familiar technique Climhazard Which most of you know will know as clouds level 2 limit break from ffVII

vs

Ultima Weapon- This is Zidanes most powerful sword obviously. It allows him to learn Flee Which you could learn right at the start of the game.

Accessories

Running Shoes- This fancy boots allow the learning of Auto Potion, and Auto Haste


vs

Angel Earings- These Earings allow the wearer to learn the following skills. Reis Wind (Freya Only) Auto Regen and Mp+20% So as you can see it is a beneficial equipment not only to freya. But to quite a few of the team.

This is a hard one for me. Well not the weapons bit. As I hate Zidane and despise his weapons im going for Excalibur but with the accessories I am quite torn. But in the end I decided on the Angel Earings As they are useful for Freya who is one of my favorite characters.

Excalibur and Running Shoes.

For obvious reasons.

If it was Ragnarok up there I'd take Steiner's side but Ultima Weapon wins my vote for attack power and sleep status (not that it wouldn't kill anything first).

Angel Earrings for it's convienent MP+20% for longer casting w/o using a turn for ethering and bonus support spells.

Excalibur and Running Shoes, def.

Excalibur and Angel Earrings for Auto-Haste is a great help towards the end of the game.

Excalibur and Angel Earrings for Auto-Haste is a great help towards the end of the game.

Excalibur and Running Shoes.

For obvious reasons.

vs

Healing Rod- One for Garnet, I always found this one rather comical, It teaches her the abilities Healer, Cura and Life

Accessories

Golden Hairpin- This pretty little hair piece teachs you the abilities Auto Regen and Loudmouth

vs

Rebirth Ring- A kinda of an obvious acessory really. It doesnt take a genious to figure out what it can do. But what the hell here we go. You can learn from this beauty. Auto-Life and Revive. So a useful thing for even the more expert of players.

Healing Rod and Rebirth Ring

Partisan and Golden Hairpin

Partisan and Golden Hairpin

I'll take MeruRikku's choices, Healing Rod and Rebirth Ring.

Partisan and Rebirth Ring

Partisan and Rebirth Ring

Partisan- 9

Healing Rod-7

Accessories-

Golden Hairpin- 7

Rebirth Ring- 9

So the Partisan and Rebirth ring go through. But it was close in both of them.

Next up

Duel claws- These Claws for amarant allow him to learn No mercy and Aura So one good thing one pretty useless ability

vs

Preists Racket- the second most powerful racket in the game allows the learning off Silence and Might Not the most amazing abilities but definatly one of the best rackets in the game.

Accessories

Dark Matter- This provides a couple of stat boosts and allows summon of Odin. Also then a powerful item to throw at the enemy

vs

Ribbon- Again another powerful piece of equipment. Allows the wearer to learn, Ability up and allows Eiko to learn Madeen so for an eiko user its very useful.

Im gonna go for the Priests Racket and the Ribbon as Madeen was pretty neat

I'll take Duel Claws because I like Amarant and Aura is awesome and yeah, Ribbon for Madeen.

ohh...the accessories is a toughy...hmm

duel claws...I love amarant

ribbon...madeen was my favorite summon...and the ability up, plus it gives Eiko some extra protection

Priest's Racket and Ribbon

I'll take Duel Claws because I like Amarant and Aura is awesome and yeah, Ribbon for Madeen.

Neither of the weapons are all that great, but I'll go for Duel Claws just because I like Amarant. For the accessories I'll vote for Ribbon because of the awesome abilities and Madeen.

Priests Racket and Ribbon

Priests Racket (Duel Claws is great for no mercy, but Return Magic compensates just fine, Rune Claws or Avenger are better)

Dark Matter (could one quite possibly obtain an infinite amount from the Auction House in Treno?)

DUEL CLAWS and Ribbon.

Alright racking this one up.

I know this isnt said very often. I wanna say a big thank you to people like Bryan, Enya, Agent0042, Arcanine, Kailas and Trent for voting all the time. It wouldn be possible without you guys and gals. Thanks to everyone else as well but these are the main ones.

That said lets carry this on.

Weapons

Priests Racket- 4

Duel Claws- 5

Accessories

Ribbon- 8

Dark Matter- 1

While Ribbon smashes Dark Matter out of the battle Preists Racket put up a good battle but lost by one vote. Ahh well.

Next up

Needle Fork- So quina once again steps up with one of her weaker weapons. Like any other weapon of Quinas it teaches her High Tide But this weapon also comes with an added goody Petrification chance.

vs

Golems Flute- Eikos Initial Equipment comes with the abilities Auto Regen, Cura and Life to help her on her way.

Accessories

White Robe- The holy clothing

Vs

Black Robe- The flare clothing.

I have screwed up the accesories part a bit by not paying proper attention the time Agent did it for me. So I was one short so Im adding the last loser we had in round 1 which was Desert Boots Back in to round 2 Sorry guys and gals:(

With that said my votes are Needle fork Cause Quina Fan and Black Robe as I rarely used Holy

Golem's Flute & Black Robe

Golem's Flute, but White Robe for me.

golems flute and black robe over here.

Golem's Flute, but White Robe for me.

Golem's Flute and White Robe

I found all of the moderately early Flutes to be abnoxiously weak, so I'll vote for the Needle Fork and Black Robe for Vivi.

I'll go with Agent's choices

Golems flute and White Robe

I found all of the moderately early Flutes to be abnoxiously weak, so I'll vote for the Needle Fork and Black Robe for Vivi.

Next up

Bistro Fork- Another of Quinas lets see if she has anymore chance here. This one as every other fork does teachs Quina High Tide and can afflict Sleep on the enemies

vs

Avenger- One of Amarants better weapons. It teachs him Demi Shock and Counter can also kill people with one hit.

Accessories

Desert Boots- These Nifty boots allow the wearer to learn Flee Gil and thats all I can remember about these ones tbh as I couldn find them anywhere on my saved games. Sorry


vs

Gaia Gear- This pretty neat accessory allows the wearer to learn, Insomniac, Osmose and High Tide so a pretty useful piece of clothing.

Well im gonna back Quina as I like he/she/it a lot and say Bistro Fork and go for the Gaia Gear as I had more use for the abilities.

Avenger and Gaia Gear

Avenger and Gaia Gear

Avenger and Gaia Gear.

Although Quina is a better character imo, Avenger is a better weapon, and Gaia Gear should be a no-brainer.

I never really used Amarant. Bistro Fork and Gaia Gear

Avenger and Desert Boots because its good as a starting accessory while there's so many mails, plate armor, brigandines, robes and such to variate in the party later on.

Although Quina is a better character imo, Avenger is a better weapon, and Gaia Gear should be a no-brainer.

Avenger and Gaia Gear

Avenger and Gaia Gear

Avenger and Gaia Gear

Bistro Fork and Gaia Gear

So lets check out these results

Bistro Fork- 3

Avenger - 9

Accessories

Desert Boots-1

Gaia Gear-11

So the Avenger and Gaia gear advance to the next round. Poor ole Quina:(

Next up

Weapons

Exploda- Embued with Trouble this nifty piece of weaponry allows Zidane to learn Lucky Seven and Sacrifice

vs

Rune Sword- This weapon is pretty powerful and allows Stiener to learn Iai Strike

Accessories

We have 3 up this time.

Ribbon vs Rebirth Ring vs Running Shoes Oddly enough they all begin with R. You know what they do by now. Only 2 of them can go through so make sure your vote counts.

Exploda and Ribbon are my votes.

Rune Sword because I never really cared much for either of the abilities on that Exploda. And Running Shoes --- very valuable, Auto-Haste = awesome.

Weapons - The two weren't bad at all, but not very special, so I'm just gonna vote for Rune Sword, 'cause, Iai Strike.

Accessories - Ribbon, simply the better.

Rune Sword and Ribbon

Rune Sword and Rebirth Ring.

Exploda and Ribbon

Weapons - The two weren't bad at all, but not very special, so I'm just gonna vote for Rune Sword, 'cause, Iai Strike.

Accessories - Ribbon, simply the better.

Rune Sword and Ribbon

I don't care for either much, but Exploda does have a cooler name. And Ribbon is another no-brainer.

Exploda and Running Shoes.

Rune Sword because I liked Steiner better and ribbon because it's the best accessory in the game...imo.

Rune Sword because I never really cared much for either of the abilities on that Exploda. And Running Shoes --- very valuable, Auto-Haste = awesome.

Alright this is being put on hold for a couple of weeks. I got more important stuff to sort atm. If anyone wants to cover me for 2 weeks or so by all means pm me and let me know.

I said I would try and get this going again before xmas. I found a small slot of time so I shall slap an update in here.


Rune Sword -8

Exploda-4

Accessories

Ribbon- 8

Running Shoes- 3

Rebirth Ring- 1

Ok so I was gonna finish this but I gotta run again Ill pm Agent0042 hopefully he will be nice enough to finish it for me.

Okay, yes, Xander asked me to continue this one, so we here go:


Rune Sword and Ribbon won the last one.


Next up:

Angel Flute (A flute of Eiko's. Teaches the useful abilities Holy, Esuna and Curaga.)

vs.

The Tower (A hulking two-handed weapon of Zidane's. Teaches Lucky Seven and Thievery)


and


Black Robe (An armor for mages. I believe it teaches Flare, Reflect x2 and one other ability. I'm pretty sure it also absorbs Dark damage.)

vs.

Gaia Gear (A light armor. This protect against Earth damages and is therefore useful for the fight at the Earth Shrine.)


Normally, I would abstain, but since Xander drew the match-up...

I vote Angel Flute because Holy rocks and Black Robe because incredibly useful abilities.

Angel Flute for Holy and Black Robe for Flare.

Angel Flute for Holy and Black Robe for Flare.

Angel Flute and Black Robe.

Angel Flute for Holy and Black Robe for Flare.

Come on guys votes please

Ice Brand

vs

High Mage Staff

Sorry for the lack of descriptions I am busy at work. I will add them later.

My vote is for High Mage staff

Ice Brand. Steiner pwns Vivi!

Ice Brand, definitely, although it wasn't one of Steiner's more useful swords. But High Mage Staff wasn't great.

I`ll go for Ice Brand too

Ice brand...it was pretty cool looking.

Another for Ice Brand.

Ice Brand, definitely, although it wasn't one of Steiner's more useful swords. But High Mage Staff wasn't great.

Anymore votes im leaving this for another 24 hours.

Ice Brand, I guess.

Ice Brand. I like ice magic in games, and swords rock. So its a perfect
combo.

Ice brands are always cool looking too.

High Mage Staff

High Mage Staff

High Mage Staff. Vivi Rocks!

Ice Brand, I guess.

Ice brand by far

Someone wanna cover this for a few weeks. I have got a lot going on at home so aint got chance to get on a pc. I can only get on at work and dont have the details here for the rumble.

I am not giving it to some random noobs and I will eventually take back over again. I would just like someone to cover me for a few weeks.

Gummi Bears - I'd be more than happy if that's OK with you. I ran the FF6 rumble and that went pretty well.

Hey everyone, I must regretfully bring you the news that Gummi Bears / Xander is leaving us forever. This needs a new manager. If you want to do it, I suppose you can start a new thread if you want better control of it, but I'd say keep the current edition going. Favor the bold --- if anyone wants to manage it, get moving!

NOOOO!!!

Why must he go? He was a good guy and will be missed.

Gummi Bears. Whhhhhhhhyy.

I would do it but there is no rumble list. I would start a new one if everyone is with me running it.

Yeah, I know, it's a shame, Joey.


barret --- if you want my help, I can try to gather the info on the current one and it can be finished.

If you would Agent. It was a great idea for a rumble and I couldn't find the lists anywhere. I PM'd Gummi a week or so back and he hasn't replied so if you could :).

All right, I'll see if I can get it figured out later...

whoa..never saw that coming...

I say we keep it alive - all rumbles should!

barret --- I don't think there ever really was a list. I seem to recall now that he was making up the pairings as he went along. Or at least, that's what he let me do when I took over this for a while a while back. You can go with that if you want, or just start a new edition.

how about some nominations??

Have we done character quotes here yet? What about best FMV?

I vote for Best FMV...I was actually thinking of nominating that.

Agent is doing quotes so I don't want to do that one. Best FMV seems to be the go-go unless anyone else has some interesting ideas. I'll start to draw up the list in a bit.

OK I have the list or participants now. It is most of the FMVs apart from the stupidly short ones. For example the shaky air outside the BM village and the explosion in the forest (About 5 seconds long).

To view screenshots of the participants check here.

http://www.ffshrine.org/ff9/ff9_fmvshots.php

The battles are


Cleyra Falls (Odin) vs Black Waltz Attacks
Trance Kuja (Terra Destroyed) vs Observing Lindblum
The Royal Family vs The Alexandrian Fleet
Escape from the Evil Forest vs Entering Lindblum
Alexander Saves the Day vs White Dragon Invasion
Reminiscence in Memoria vs Kuja and Bahamut
Cleyra's Sandstorm Disappears vs Prima Vista Crashes
Overview of Alexandria vs The Iifa Tree's Roots (Free running on a killer tree)
Alexander and the Invincable Continued vs Garnet and Zidane Meet on the Balcony
Black Waltz and the Airship vs Entering Memoria
Lindblum Falls (Atomos) vs Garnet Overlooks Alexandria
Garnet's Memory vs Prima Vista Attempts to Escape
Zidane and the Iifa Tree (Zidane left alone) vs Garnet's Past Relived
Battle at Burmecia vs Escape from the Black Waltz
Garnet and Eiko in Alexandria vs Opening Sequence / Introduction FMV
Garnet Cuts Her Hair vs Game Outro / Finale / Ending

So for the first battle of the new rumble we have


Cleyra Falls (Odin)
Brahne summons Odin from the heavens and obliterates Cleyra with the tip of his huge lance. I don't think they could have portayed Odin much better than they did in this FMV.

vs

Black Waltz Attacks
Whilst escaping Dali the third Black Waltz attacks the cargo ship they are on and attacks all of the Black Mages on board. A touching scene with Vivi watching people like him being slaughtered and he feels like he is unable to do anything to help them.

(In the event of a tie I will retract my vote)

I vote for Black Waltz Attacks

Both are very good, I'll give edge to Black Waltz Attacks.

The Black Waltz Attacks was a great touching scene.

Black Waltz Attacks

Both were pretty good, but I liked Cleyra Falls (Odin) more. It was a really cool scene.

Black Waltz Attacks

Black Waltz Attacks

Odin

It was just too badass.

I love them both, but I'll go for Black Waltz Attacks.

Black Waltz Attacks

I was expecting a few more votes. Ah well.

8-2 to Black Waltz Attacks. It wins by landslide.

vs

Observing Lindblum
A little bit more mellow. Atomos sucks in and gargles the majority of Lindblum whilst Dagger cries, Zidane comforts and Brahne laughs manically.

In what may be a surprise vote --- Observing Lindblum

Trance Kuja loved it.

Observing Lindblum, 'cause for the other one: I like to see Terra in its beautiful shape, not seeing it being destroyed!

Observing Lindblum

Observing Lindblum for me as well.

Observing Lindblum i felt sorry for Garnet there

Observing Lindblum

Tough one. I'll go with Trance Kuja (Terra Destroyed).

6-2 and one of the ones I thought was going to win was knocked out in the first round! Surprising stuff.

The Royal Family
The Alexandrian royal family and friends are portrayed in this scene setting FMV.

vs

The Alexandrian Fleet
The Alexandrian Fleet are annihilated by Bahamut in this action packed FMV.

I vote for The Alexandrian Fleet

The Alexandrian Fleet only just.

Alexandrian Fleet I love Bahamut.

The Royal Family. Its one of the most memorable FMVs for me.

It's going to be The Alexandrian Fleet for me.

The Royal Family

The FMVs that focused more on characters than action were almost always better in my book.

It's going to be The Alexandrian Fleet for me.

A very tough one, this is..

The Royal Family. It is more memorable.

edit: Just saw that the rumble had moved on a round. The Royal Family gets my vote in this one.

The Alexandrian Fleet

I'll update when all of the regular voters vote and then a few hours as there;s no point leaving it for several days because no-one votes after 2.

6-3 and Bahamuts FMV is doubly as liked as Royale family.

Entering Lindblum for me.
