I prefer the form Alexander takes in certain other games. Palidor to mix things up.

Alexander

Palidor

Alexander because I don't like Palidor.

Alexander

Ummm...Palidor

Yay. Okay, let's see. I have this feeling Palidor lost.
Alexander - 6
Palidor - 3

Oh Snap. Alexander outnumbered the purple bird. This will be a very interesting last match.

*takes a deep breath*

Okay, the final round is here. This will be the last round of this rumble, so be sure to cast your vote. As I said in the beginning, to make things more exciting, this rumble will be decided by a last round with 3 finalists. To make it even more exciting, every voter has to give once 2 points and once 1 point. After this round I will count together all points for each finalist, and the Esper with the highest amount of points will win this rumble.
Just as an example for that way:
X - 2 points
Y - 1 point

Alright... let's start the Final!

Maduin vs. Phoenix vs. Alexander

FIGHT!!

Maduin

Maduin

Phoenix - 2 Points and Maduin - 1 Point

Maduin


Maduin

So I guess Maduin recieves 2 points from each of you, but where do you put your 1 point votes?

Maduin for 2 points.
Phoenix for 1 point.

So I guess Maduin recieves 2 points from each of you, but where do you put your 1 point votes?
You said it was an "option." If people vote for one particular choice and then you ask them, "Hey, where the heck is your 1 pointer," it would suggest to me that you're implying that it's not an "option," it's mandatory.


Maduin - 2
Phoenix - 1


Alexander gets nothing and deserves nothing. :)

Oh, and if it is, in fact, an option, Maduin - 3.

My English skills and me. Facts like that show that it's not my native tongue. Guh. *changes*

Alexander-2
Maduin-1

Maduin - 2 points
Phoenix - 1 point

Maduin - 2
Phoenix - 1

Phoenix - 2
Maduin - 1

Alexander-2
Maduin-1

To make it even, the 1-point votes from Neg and Ndi have been shared by Phoenix and Alexander, meaning each one got 1 point.

So, let's present the winners!

Third Place with 5 points goes to

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b169/YenoHyena/ff6/alexandr.gif

ALEXANDER!

Second Place with 9 points...

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b169/YenoHyena/ff6/phoenix.gif

PHOENIX!!


And the Winner is, with whopping 17 points...

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b169/YenoHyena/ff6/maduin.gif

MADUIN!!!

Congratulations to Maduin!

Finally, this rumble finds an end! But there ain't be everything over now. Now it's up to you. Suggest me topics for the next FFVI rumble, and I'll consider them. =)

Music or Characters

:) We have a winner.


And how about Locations? 'Cause VI definitely has some pretty awesome ones. (And I'm musiced out the wazoo-- that's what every rumble has been doing lately.)

Yeah, I wouldn't take music, anyway, cause every rumble has them.

Locations sounds pretty good. And I agree with everyone else, music has been used WAY too much

Yeah. I'm sure I'll do music, but not now... more likely when that topic calmed down in the other rumbles.

I also like the locations, so it will definitely be considered.

Ok ill change my vote to Locations or Characters

FFVI's most exotic location: Imperial bathroom XD
All the rust XP

Locations sounds really good, 'cause I don't really remember previous rumbles for it for FFVI. :D Good amount of places to vote for too (Dinosaur Forest ftw :p ).

Okay! This means Locations will be topic for the next rumble!

Give me a few days to get together locations, and stuff them into a rumble-able layout. You can also nominee some you'd like to see!

Doma Castle, Kefka's Tower, Figaro Castle and Narshe.

Doma Castle, Land of Espers, Narshe, Opera House, Zozo and Solitary Island

oooh and The Veldt!!

Narshe, Zozo, Opera House, Veldt, Figaro Castle, Phantom Forest, Jidoor, Colosseum, Floating Continent

All of them sound very good, although I will decide if I use Phantom Forest or Phantom Train, or maybe both of them, either separated or combined.

So, what I'll definitely have:
Narshe
Figaro
Kefka's Tower
Doma
Land of Espers
Zozo
Opera House
Jidoor
The Veldt
Fanatics' Tower
Thamasa
Phantom Forest
Phantom Train
Colosseum
Floating Continent
Solitary Island
Triangle Island / Inside of the Zone Eater
Kohlingen
Daryl's Tomb
Vector
Mt. Koltz
Ebot's Rock
Ancient Castle
Lete River
Imperial Camp
Cyan's Dream
Mobliz
Magitek Research Facility
Owzer's House

Any other ideas? I want to have 32 places, with these I have still 3 nominees free to choose.

Hmm... perhaps either or both of the airships?

Sounds like a good idea. I also thought of Dragon Forest, or maybe the Rebel's hideout?

Okay, I've made the decision that I'll start the new round on Sunday (though add in European time, so it will be in deep night or morning for you), so you can cast your nominations for locations not listed.
I will select the 32 most interesting out of them, maybe drop some of my selections, if your nominee is good enough.

Until then!

Okay, since nothing came, I'll just start off. I will use both Airships as one location, the Returner's Camp and The Serpent Trench to round it up.

Now, let's start the new rumble away!

ROUND 1

Will feature all 32 chosen locations. I mixed them up so it's hardly possible for some of those standing next to each other to face. I hope we'll find some good result, and let's see if, like the rumble just behind us, features an underdog as winner of it.

Fight 1

The Airships
The Blackjack, and in the World of Ruin, the Falcon, are the two airships featured in Final Fantasy VI. The Blackjack is property of Setzer, and the Falcon was the airship of his lost love, Daryl. You need the airships, otherwise you can't proceed in the game, and a few fights are fought on it, such as the fight against Doomgaze. Here gather all of your characters.

vs.

Narshe
The mining town in the cold area. The place where all of the story starts, and, eventually, you'll be returning to this town more than once. It's a good and independent town, and wants to protect itself, and, as well, the Esper Tritoch, who is, frozen, hidden deep inside of the mountain.

Narshe

Narshe

Narshe

Narshe

LOL. Narshe

LOL. Narshe

LOL? Agent is LOL-ing? Oh my, does that mean I could end the battle early? ^^,

Probably. It's not that the airships are bad, it's just that up against Narshe, they seem like such cannon fodder. I see Narshe going pretty far in this edition.

Yeah... that's what I thought. Without much hesitation I'm gonna end this round early. If you're someone who weren't able to cast a vote, and would have voted for the Airships, please put it in your vote for the next round. If you wouldn't have, just leave it be. If the amount for the Airships is over the amount of the votes for Narshe (and for that matter, added with the posts NOT past-voting for the Airships), I'm gonna change the result. With this, the results are:
Airships - 0
Narshe - 6

And Narshe proceeds quickly into the next level.

ROUND 2

Kohlingen
A small town you pass by during the game's storyline. This is were Locke lived a lot of time in his past, and was together with Rachel before she died. In the basement of a house there's also the place were Rachel is laid out in a bed surrounded by flowers.

vs.

Solitary Island
This is the first place you see after Kefka destroyed the World (of Balance). As Celes, you live in a small hut together with Cid, who is very weakened and ill. Depending on your actions, he will die or survive. After this short (and, if ending bad, sad) intermezzo in the storyline, you will leave that little island to go and search for the other characters.

Kohlingen

Solitary Island

Kohlingen

Kohlingen

I'm going to go with Solitary Island on this one -- considering the otherwise minimal importance of both locations, I like that particular plot with Celes and Cid more than the one with Locke.

Tough... Solitary Island

Solitary Island, but its close.

Solitatry Island
I don't remember anything special about Kohlingen

Kohlingen

Okay! We'll end this round now, I think...
Kohlingen - 5
Solitary Island - 5

W...what's that! A draw. While the first rumble didn't have this scenario, this one has, already in the second battle! But fear not, my dear participants, I have decided to spare my votes for exactly cases like these, and therefore my vote will decide which location will proceed into the next round. And this will be Solitary Island. Sorry, Locke-fans...

With that, I have to make an announcement... I think we maybe could speed up this rumble a bit when in the first 2 rounds we have 2 battles for each bracket. Although I'll continue with the normal battle now, I'll ask you to cast a vote if you want to have 2 battles in each "prelim"-round. If yes, then it will start when the battle after this one is done, so I have an even number I can work with.

But, enough rambling, let's see the opponents for this battle!

BATTLE 3

Serpent Trench
This is an underwater route. It connects the northern part of the world with the southern, and you can use it so you don't have to walk or fly all the way. During the game you also will use the Serpent Trench a few times. It also has a cave. Oh, and the music playing while going through it is very nice and calming. ^_^

vs.

Figaro Castle
The glorious mechanical castle and home to King Edgar. This is one of the first places you'll visit, and here you will meet up with its reigner. Also here takes the first meeting with Kefka place ("Edgar you pinhead! Why do you have to live in the middle of Nowhere? These recon jobs are the pits! Ahem... there's SAND on my boots!"). This castle has the ability to dive into the sand and change locations to several desert areas in this way. And, also notable, it has Chocobo Knights. Myes it has.

(edit: I'm seeing a rather fast ended round on this one... I already can predict who the winner will be. ^^,)

Figaro Castle, though I'm very disappointed at this draw because I like the Serpent Trench. And sure, I'm for speeding it up.

Figaro Castle

Figaro Castle

Figaro Castle

Figaro Castle

Figaro Castle

Figaro Castle

As I thought it would be, a rather clear result:
Figaro Castle - 9
The Serpent Trench - 0

As Agent agrees with speeding up, I will proceed in doing so in the next round. As said, I will do this one so I have an even number of 4 completed battles.

BATTLE 4

Returners' Hideout
Well... it's the base of the rebels against the Empire. It's in a mountain. This is were you first meet Banon, the leader of the Returners. And it's pretty small.

vs.

Kefka's Tower
The residence of the evil Kefka in the World of Ruin. You will have to explore this HUGE place with 3 teams, and it's stuffed with dangerous random encounters and set Boss battles, like the one against Atma. Here also is the last of the Eight Dragons hiding. You will have to go a long and riddling way until you finally find Kefka.

This is also a rather humiliating battle, if you ask me... Again I know already which place will proceed. :x

Kefka's Tower
The Returners' Hideout is so boring =\

Another walkabout -- Kefka's Tower. I don't dislike the Returner's Hideout, but it can't compare with this awesome dungeon.

Returners' Hideout

Kefka's Tower

Returners' Hideout

Another walkabout -- Kefka's Tower. I don't dislike the Returner's Hideout, but it can't compare with this awesome dungeon.

Kefka's Tower

Kefka's Tower

Results:
Kefka's Tower - 6
Returner's Hideout - (surprisingly) 2

This means Kefka's Tower proceeds. Now that I have an even number, I can start on doing double battles for now, so let's start.
For the votes, please make it the way it's shown here:

Hyrule and Mushroom Kingdom

This one will prove to be exciting and is, in my opinion, rather ironic...

BATTLE 5

Magitek Research Facility
Another example for the rather dark setting of this game. In this laboratory a lot of Espers are kept as hostages. Their magical powers are drained for equipping the Magitek Armours with these attributes. A lot of Espers died in this facility and this is where you get your first Magicites, the remains of them.

vs.

The Land of the Espers
Hidden well behind a gate in the deepest insides of (if I remember correctly) Crescent Mountain, this place is where the peaceful Espers were born and living until the Empire invaded it and captured its inhabitants. This is were Maduin and Madonna lived their life and Terra was born.

and

BATTLE 6

Mobliz
In the World of Balance, this is a mere standard town, however, after Kefka's destruction, Mobliz is home to only the town's children. Terra got there after the destruction and became the children's protector.

vs.

Zozo
This town reminds me a bit of London, only more vicious. It's always raining in Zozo, the town of bandits, thieves and other scum. It has a rather modern look in comparison to all the other towns in the game (except maybe Vector). This place is filled with random encounters and you have to go there for a few times, in the World of Ruin mainly to get Cyan back in your party.

The Land of the Espers

Mobliz I dislike Zozo

Mobliz

Mobliz

Ebichu... there's two votes to cast.

Magitek Research Facility & Zozo

The Land of the Espers & Zozo

The Land of the Espers and Zozo

The Land of the Espers and Mobliz

The Land of the Espers & Zozo

Magitek Research Facility and Mobliz

The Land of the Espers and Mobliz

Magitek Research Facility & Zozo

Battle 5
Magitek Research Facility - 4
Land of the Espers - 6

Battle 6
Mobliz - 6
Zozo - 5

This makes 2 incredibly close battles, and Mobliz as well as The Land of the Espers proceed into the next round. Now with these cleared up, we'll have the next 2 rounds to go!

BATTLE 7

Owzer's House
The house of the odd artist Owzer, it is located in Jidoor, but deserves an own mention overall. This mansion is where you'll find Relm in the World of Ruin (only if you saved Shadow on the Floating Continent, though), and it's filled with magical artworks jumping out of their frames to attack you. You'll also have pictures of doors leading into other parts of the house. As boss to this twisted dungeon, fittingly, there's Chardanook, the two faced painting, once being a beautiful woman, but turns into an ugly demon.

vs.

Doma (Castle)
This is the home to Cyan and his family. You'll first visit Doma when the game's storylines split up. Unfortunately, this is the place to be hit with Kefka's poison. He poisoned the river and all inhabitants of Doma died due to consuming it, making Cyan (who wasn't there at this moment) the last survivor. Doma is one of the most tragic places in the game.

and (although I could save me that one...)

BATTLE 8

Cyan's Dream
Oddly enough, the second battle features the other location directly linked to Cyan. This nightmare is part of gaining Cyan's last Sword Techniques. You will go through the memories of the swordsman, see his family again and the dreaded Wrexsoul who is guarding this dream, much like the Dream Stooges.

vs.

The Opera House
Ah yes, the Opera House. This is the most important part for Celes' story, as she is chosen to replace the main singer because she's a look-alike. Here you'll also meet up again with Ultros, and, one of the Eight Dragons is located in it. The scene with Celes singing is one of the most memorables (though, due to SNES-quality a little goofy sounding) parts of the whole game, and the song she sings, Aria de Mezzo Carattere, also is, in a remixed form, her own theme, and, a very beautiful one on top of that.

Doma (Castle) and Cyan's Dream

I liked Cyan. What can I say?

I adore Cyan myself, so I'll have to go with Doma (Castle). However, I see The Opera House as having too much significance not to vote for it. Tough, though.

Doma (Castle) and The Opera House

Doma (Castle) and The Opera House

Doma (Castle) and The Opera House

Doma (Castle) and The Opera House

Doma (Castle) and Cyan's Dream

Doma (Castle) and The Opera House

Alright, let's see the results... :3

Battle 7
Owzer's House - 0
Doma - 9

Battle 8
Cyan's Dream - 2
Opera House - 7

This means Doma and the Opera House proceed!

BATTLE 9

Lete River
This place is were the story splits up in two substories, eventually leading to get more party members. This havoc is caused by Ultros, whose first encounter is on this river. You'll fight on a raft, which makes this place unique to the FF-series.

vs.

The Veldt
This place is the wide plain in the west. You'll first meet Gau on this place, and this is were you can get the kind-of Blue Magic for him. Yes, from the monsters. This area has an own theme, and stays on the World of Ruin. All I can say is "Awouuu!"

and

BATTLE 10

Triangle Island and the Zone Eater
This is a small island in the World of Ruin. The practically only mentionable thing on it is the random encounter of the giant worm-like creature called "Zone Eater". If it sucks you in, you'll find yourself in a cave, and in this cave you'll find Gogo, the mime. For the sake of sparing you so much typing, we'll go with "Triangle Island" on that one.

vs.

The Floating Continent
Ah yes. The final dungeon before the World of Ruin. This place raises after Kefka activated the Goddess Statues, and you will encounter him as well as Emperor Gestahl and the bosses Atma and Nerapa there. Gestahl, who would have nearly stopped the trouble, eventually is killed by Kefka, and you in the end will have to run and leave the world to Kefka.

Hmm, definitely a tough battle on the first one because I really like both places. Despite the plot significance of the Lete River, I think this time I have to go for The Veldt. As for the latter, I definitely have to go with The Floating Continent. Way awesome.

The Veldt & The Floating Continent

The Veldt & The Floating Continent

Battle 9
Lete River - 0
The Veldt - 7

Battle 10
Triangle Island - 0
Floating Continent - 7

These results are pretty clear, aren't they.

BATTLE 11

Imperial Camp
This is the place where you first meet Leo. This camp is siegeing Doma and this is the place where Kefka pours poison into the river to wipe out Doma. Not much else to say about it.

vs.

Jidoor
This is one of the bigger towns in FFVI. It features Owzer's House and the auction house, where you can get several Espers. It's also the next town to the Opera House.

and

BATTLE 12

Ancient Castle
This is something I'd call "generic dungeon", and actually the only one in the whole game. The Ancient Castle appears in the World of Ruin, and in it you will find a whole lot of grand items. One of the Eight Dragons is here, and you can upgrade Odin to Raiden in this dungeon.

vs.

Fanatics' Tower
Another optional dungeon. This is one of the oddest places in the game, as the tower hinders you using anything else but magic. The enemies on this tower are powerful mages, throwing out Meteor or Merton with ease. When you reach the top you will get the very grand item Gem Box. However, you also will face the Magi Master, one of the most annoying enemies and one of the most powerful ones on top of that.

Jidoor and Fanatics' Tower

Same, though not without reservations. Jidoor and Fanatic's Tower

Jidoor and Fanatics' Tower

Jidoor and Fanatics' Tower

Same, though not without reservations. Jidoor and Fanatic's Tower

Jidoor and Fanatics' Tower
lol :D

Imperial Camp & Ancient Castle

Jidoor and Fanatics' Tower

Jidoor and Fanatics' Tower

Battle 11
Imper. Camp - 1
Jidoor - 8

Battle 12
Ancient Castle - 1
Fanatics' Tower - 8

Another rather clear result... Jidoor and Fanatics' Tower proceed, leaving Ancient Castle and Imperial Camp behind.

BATTLE 13

Ebot's Rock
This place is not really big. It's an optional dungeon, which will bring you Strago's most powerful Lure spell after defeating its boss. It features a chest hungering for corals, a lot of said corals, and, behind that chest, after you feeded it enough, is Hidon awaiting.

vs.

Thamasa
And this is the place where the person giving you that quest resides. Thamasa is a small town inhabited by the only human people left who can use magic. This also means Stragus with his odd Lure-magic, and Relm with her magical art abilities. Shadow's past also is linked to this town, which actually is the last town you'll see in the World of Balance before visiting the Floating Continent. In Thamasa you'll also have to rescue people from a burning house. And yeah.

BATTLE 14

Mt. Koltz
Ah yes, Mt. Koltz. The first actual dungeon you'll visit after the Narshe mines. You'll have to use Sabin's first Blitz move to win against the boss, Sabin's teacher's son Vargas. Other than that, this dungeon is the first featuring a mountain theme, and it's rather generic, too.

vs.

Phantom Forest
A deep and dark forest, the Phantom Forest is the place you'll see before entering the Phantom Train. This is where you go after the Doma catastrophe. It's a rather small place, since it's just a pre-dungeon, but still... its eerie looks and the dark music make it perfectly fitting as such.

Mt. Koltz & Thamasa

Thamasa, no question and Phantom Forest, though that one's a bit tougher.

Thamasa, no question and Phantom Forest, though that one's a bit tougher.

Thamasa and Phantom Forest

Thamasa and Phantom Forest

Battle 13
Ebot's Rock - 0
Thamasa - 6

Battle 14
Mt. Koltz - 1
Phantom Forest - 5

Ebot's Rock and Mt. Koltz both were pretty much a no-show, although I expected more of latter. This means Thamasa and Phantom Forest proceed to the next round - leaving us with the next 2 battles, and the last ones for this round!

BATTLE 15

Vector
The capital of the Empire. This place is dark, and very industrial. There are two important places in Vector, one being the Imperial Palace, the other one being the Magitek Research Facility. In the World of Ruin, Vector seems to have drowned, therefore making it one of the few World of Balance-only places.

vs.

Phantom Train
One of the oddest dungeons. This thing is part of Sabin's storyline. The Phantom Train is filled with ghosts and undead, one of them being the young helpful ????, a ghost you can put in your party. His special ability is to possess enemies, and after he did, you have to get him again. ???? however is only helping you while being on the train. The boss is the locomotive of the train itself, and one of the hardest bosses in the game if you don't know what to do.

BATTLE 16

Daryl's Tomb
This place is where you get the Falcon, the airship of Setzer's dead love Daryl. It's a very nice dungeon, although being stuffed with undead monsters. You will face Dullahan as boss, and then learn about Setzer's past and recieve your new vehicle.

vs.

Colosseum
This place is absolutely optional, and only in the World of Ruin. Here you can choose a character and a wager. Depending on the latter, you will face a certain enemy. If you manage to beat him, you will get a better item than the one you wagered. If you lose, well... you can guess what happens then.

Phantom Train & Daryl's Tomb

Phantom Train &Daryl's Tomb

Phantom Train on the first, but I'm going for Colosseum on the second. You get Shadow back there, and also find out the fate of Ultros. Gwee hee hee -- receptionist!! "Now you watch out or Mr. Chupon will take that item!"

Phantom Train and Colosseum Chupon and Uncle Ulty :D

Phantom Train and Colosseum

Phantom Train & Daryl's Tomb

Phantom Train and Colosseum

Vector & Daryl's Tomb

Phantom Train and Daryl's Tomb

Phantom Train and Colosseum

Battle 15
Vector - 1
Phantom Train - 10

Battle 16
Daryl's Tomb - 7
Colosseum - 5

This means the Phantom Train and Daryl's Tomb proceed. Round 1 has ended! :3

R O U N D 2

BATTLE 17

Narshe vs. Solitary Island

and

BATTLE 18

Floating Continent vs. Figaro Castle

Solitary Island and Floating Continent. I just prefer these estranged places more than strongholds.

Narshe and Floating Continent

Narshe and Figaro Castle

Narsh & Floating Continent

Narshe, easily and Figaro Castle on the latter, but a lot closer on that one. I just like the idea of a submergible castle that can travel from one continent to another-- that was a fascinating and unique touch.

Narshe & Figaro Castle

Narshe and Floating continent

Narshe and Floating Continent

Narshe & Figaro Castle

Solitary Island and Floating Continent

Narshe & Floating Continent

Narshe obvious choice
Floating Continent a bit less obvious heh

Battle 17
Narshe - 10
Solitary Island - 2

Battle 18
Floating Continent - 8
Figaro - 4

Wow, I didn't think Solitary Island and especially Figaro would have such a weak showing... Anyway, Narshe and Floating Continent proceed.

BATTLE 19

Phantom Train vs. Doma

and

BATTLE 20

Kefka's Tower vs. Daryl's Tomb (this actually is needless, but for the records...)

Phantom Train

"roll up for the ghost train, nonstop, through the city"
"love is a ghost train, howling on the radio"

Daryl's Tomb

Mwuahahaha

Phantom Train

Kefka's Tower

Doma & Kefka's Tower

Phantom Train and Kefka's Tower

Phantom Train & Kefka's Tower

Phantom Train
Kefka's Tower

Oh my... poor Doma and Daryl get crushed ;_;

Phantom Train ...Kefka's Tower

I'll show some love for Doma. Kefka's Tower for the latter, though.


On that last battle, though, it was Figaro Castle that lost and not Figaro, wasn't it? Because you said Figaro Castle originally, but put "Figaro" in the results, so I wasn't sure.

Yes, Figaro Castle. There is no Figaro, though, only South Figaro, and that wasn't in the rumble to begin with. Good to have you back, Agent. ^_^

Double post of d00m.

Battle 19
Doma - 1
Phantom Train - 9

Battle 20
Daryl's Tomb - 1
Kefka's Tower - 9

Clear victories. <_<

Anyway. On with the program.

BATTLE 21

The last two battles of this round, then we'll have one battle each time, again!

BATTLE 23

Thamasa vs. Mobliz

and

BATTLE 24

Phantom Forest vs. Land of the Espers

Mobliz--If I could live anywhere in FF, this would be it. We actually have a thread about that. Dead serious.

Phantom Forest

A very close victory for Mobliz, and a rather clear one for Phantom Forest... You'll see what you made with that!! Anyway. This round ends here, and we'll start the next one.

R O U N D 3

Battle 25

Narshe
Biggs: There's the town...
Wedge: Hard to believe an Esper's been found intact there, 1000 years after the War of the Magi...
Biggs: Think it's still alive?
Wedge: Probably... judging from the urgency of our orders.
Biggs: And this woman, this... sorceress, why's she here? I heard she fried 50 of our Magitek Armoured soldiers in under 3 minutes!
Wedge: Not to worry. The Slave Crown on her head robs her of all conscious thought. She'll follow orders.

Jidoor
"My Dear Maria,
I want you for my wife. I'm coming for you...
The Wandering Gambler"

Locke: Who's this "Wandering...?" whats-his-name?
Master: You born on a farm, son?

"A blackjack-playing, world-travelling, casino-dwelling free spirit..."

That's Setzer, owner of the world's only airship.
Celes: If we could get that airship, we'd make the Empire in no time.
Locke: Let's set up a meeting... with Setzer...

Narshe

Narshe

Narshe

Narshe

Yeah, Narshe, definitely.

Lookin' like a blowout.


Yeah, Narshe, definitely.

Narshe

Narshe knock out

I will end that round early... it has no sense continueing further on. <.<

Narshe - all
Jidoor - none

I'm too lazy to count. Narshe wins. Yay. Surprise.

Okay, so... As I said, you would see what you have from voting both Phantoms into the quarter finals:

Battle 26

Phantom Forest
Sabin: Okay, I think we should be safe now! So, how do I get to Narshe from here?
Cyan: Narshe? I believe the only route passes through the forest to the south, but--
Sabin: All right! If we're going into the woods, I guess we won't be needing these hunks of scrap metal anymore. Let's get going!

vs.

Phantom Train
Sabin: What in the world...?
Cyan: We must leave at once! This is the Phantom Train!
Sabin: It's moving!
Cyan: We must get off this train at once!
Sabin: The door won't open!
Cyan: I fear we are too late.
Sabin: What did you say this train was?
Cyan: This is the Phantom Train... It carries the souls of the departed to their...final destination.

Phantom Forest

Phantom Forest

Phantom Train I definitely thought was more interesting. The Phantom Forest was small and not a lot happened there.

Toughest one so far T_T.....Phantom...........................Forest

Phantom Train, kinda easily, 'cause most of the action did occur on the train, not in the forest. :itsamystery:

Locations yea that sounds good

Phantom Forest

Results are:
Phantom Forest - 4
Phantom Train - 4

That's another draw. Who would've thought Phantom Forest would get as many votes as Phantom Train? This means the decision on which location to proceed is up to me... and I choose... Phantom Train

Battle 27

Kefka's Tower
Edgar: It's time we took the battle to Kefka's doorstep!
Setzer: What's wrong?
Celes: ...
Celes: The gods of the Warring Triad control the magic of the esper world... If we destroy them...
Edgar: ...You're worried about what might happen?
Celes: I'm not sure, but...
Celes: ...Espers and magic might vanish from the world entirely.
Edgar: And if that happens...
Celes: ...what'll happen to Terra?

vs.

Mobliz
Duane: You can't take Terra from us!
Katarin: Duane... Please, forgive him. It's just...if we lose Terra, we lose the only thing that's holding this village together.
Terra: I don't know why these kids need me... And it's not like there's anything forcing me to protect them. It's the strangest feeling... But once that feeling took root inside of me, I lost the strength to keep on fighting.
Terra: I feel like I'm on the verge of understanding something important. It's hard to describe... But the harder I look for the answer, the more I lose my strength to fight.
Katarin: Terra is the glue that holds this village together. With her here, we're somehow able to keep going.

Mobliz

Mobliz

Sorry, I wasn't overly fond of Terra's plotline. Kefka's Tower

Kefka's Tower

I really liked Terra's back story, and was compelled to keep playing through it. But I am pursuaded not to ignore the difficult and engrossing awesomeness of Kefka's Tower

Whoa... stupid boards, that shouldn't have been posted twice.

Mobliz - 2
Kefka's Tower - 6

This means Kefka's Tower succeeds. Hooray. Now for the last battle in this round, then we'll already be at the Semi-Finals!

BATTLE 28

Opera House

♪ O my hero, my beloved,
Shall we still be made to part,
Though promises of perennial love
Yet sing here in my heart?
I'm the darkness,
You're the starlight
Shining brightly from afar.
Through hours of despair,
I offer this prayer
To you, my evening star.
Must my final vows exchanged
Be with him and not you?
Were you only here
To quiet my fear...
O speak! Guide me anew. ♪

vs.

Floating Continent

Kefka: Now listen to me! No more playing games! I command you... Show me your power!
Gestahl: Kefka, stop! If you revive them, they'll destroy the very world we want to rule! There's no value in that!
Kefka: Shut up!
Gestahl: Kefka! Are you mad!?
Kefka: Mad...? Emperor Gesthal, what are you saying? This is the perfect chance to show them the power of the Warring Triad!

The script from each is from the Advance version right? I hate how they changed them from the SNES version.

Oh well, Opera House.

Opera House!

Yes, but only because I couldn't find a complete game script for the SNES version. :/

Let's see the results...

Opera House - 7
Floating Continent - 4

Although I thought something might happen here, in the end it was a clear result. We've beaten through the Quarter Finals. Now only 3 battles, namely the Semi-Finals and the Final round, are left.

So, let's get started with...

S E M I - F I N A L S

Round 1

Narshe

vs.

Phantom Train

As interestingly creepy as the Phantom Train was, I have to go for Narshe here.

Phantom Train

Ride that sucker til the end~

Phantom Train

Narshe

Narshe - 3
Phantom Train - 4

Now that was a close call! And there I thought Phantom Train would die in a few seconds. Heh. Phantom Train makes it into the finals!

Now, let's see which location its opponent will be!

Round 2

Kefka's Tower

vs.

Opera House

Kefka's Tower

Opera House

Kefka's Tower

Opera House

and you know it

Kefka's Tower

Going with Kefka's Tower for this one.

Opera House
and you know it

Opera House. and you know it

Now we will conclude with locations will face each other in the finals...

Opera House - 4
Kefka's Tower - 4

Oh damn... A draw! Just in the last battle before the finals. Now what to do? I have to choose again. That's pretty hard. :/
I go with... Opera House.

This means we have finally reached the...

FINAL FANTASY VI LOCATIONS RUMBLE

F I N A L
R O U N D

Phantom Train

vs.

Opera House

May the best location win!

Opera House

Seeing as I didn't vote for either in the previous rounds, I don't really have much a dog in this fight. Still, I think I'll also go with the Opera House. And I think what pushes it over the edge for me is being the location of one of the eight dragons in the World of Ruin.
