Queen Brahne

Ramuh bitches.

Ramuh bitches.

Ramuh

Ramuh ...I hated Brahne.

Jumping on the Ramuh wagon.

I go for Queen Brahne

Ramuh really didnt do much

Ramuh. Brahne was the height of irritation.

Queen Brahne

Queen Brahne 9-6 Ramuh

Brahne wins, in what was ALMOST a wipeout (7-0) and then Ramuh makes a huge comeback. Unfortunately for him, not one enough to take Brahne.

Round 2 - Battle 6

Ruby

Tantalus's theater girl who beat the Fat Chocobo in a wipeout in the last round.

VS.

Queen Stella

Quack quack! I see you have the Cancer! Will you give me your Cancer?
...The other "queen", that beat the jump rope girls, not in so much of a wipeout, in the last round.

Ruby.

Queen Stella is probably one of the most annoying NPCs Square have ever thought up.

Queen Stella

kinda lame round... Ruby

Tyin' it up with Queen Stella.

Queen Stella

Ruby.

Ruby, no question.

Ruby

Ruby

Ruby

Ruby

kinda lame round... Ruby

Ruby

Ruby

Ruby all the way

Ruby 12-3 Queen Stella

Once again, Ruby wins by a margin equal to a wipeout, and Stella is out!

Round 2 - Battle 7

Hilda

Cid's wife with a ship named after her, and also the witch that turned him into an oglop... made minced meat out of Hippaul in the last round in a washout.

VS.

Fratley

Freya's long lost soul mate who is also a Dragoon. Beat Quale in a dangerously close battle in the last round.

Hilda

Fratley

Sir Fratley

Hmm.... Lady Hilda.

Hmm.... Lady Hilda.

Also I never saw this thread... hmm.... weird?

Close battle so far, and I'm having trouble deciding.... guess I'll even things out with Fratley.

Hmm.... Lady Hilda.

Fratley

Lady Hilda

Sir Fratley

Hilda.

Sir Fratley

Sir Fratley

Holy shit, quite a fight here.

This battle has been tied SIX times, that's right, SIX times, every other turn it was a tie. Hilda and Fratley are at an an intense fight to the death.

But the final result is...

Fratley 7-6 Hilda

Sir Fratley, though wounded, manages to be the last one standing. Hilda tires out. Fratley's previous match against Quale had also been this close. Quite determined, the guy is...

Last battle of round 2...

Round 2 - Battle 8

Artemecion

Our other popular PostMoogle, who's a little... suspicious. Beat Puck in the last round.

VS.

Garland

The other villain of this game... and hating him is Zidane and Kuja's common bond. He beat the Dream Chocobo in the last round.

Artemecion

Garland

Artmecion

Garland ftw.

Garland ftw.

Going with Garland here.

I'd like to get rid of Garland. Artemecion.

No love for the moogle? +1 for Artemecion

Gotta love the moogle but I'm going with Garland on this one.

Garland

Garland ...and Agent, I thought you loved moogles...

Garland 8-4 Artemicion

Moogle down! Moogle down!
Yeah... as you can tell I find more fun to emphasize on the loser since this is the last we'll see of them. Anyway, props to Garland for beating a Moogle and moving into the top 8.


And... that concludes round 2! Round 3 will commence either later tonight or tomorrow.

and Agent, I thought you loved moogles...
I do, I just didn't find Artemicion to be one of the more interesting moogles.

Artemecion, less interesting? Eh...

Anyway, here we go, round 3, which out of 32 would be the quarterfinals. Who will make it into the top four? We shall see.,,

Quarterfinals

Round 3 - Battle 1

Quan

The legendary Qu, Vivi's grandfather. Beat old 288 and Gilgamesh so far, which I guess can say something...

VS.

Ruby

Charismatic Tantalus chick, who has so far bested Queen Stella and the Fat Chocobo.

Quan

Ruby

Quan!

Hmm... Quan.

Ruby

Quan

Ruby

Ruby

Quan

Hmm... we have a tie at 5-5.

Pretty intense battle. This is the first time I've ever done this, but I'm going to save you guys the guilt. You see, it just so happens that I haven't voted yet, so I am going to fairly break it myself. First time that's ever been a case during a tie break.

And my vote, as well as this round, will go to... Ruby!

Sorry Qu fans. It was a very tough choice for me as well, don't believe I've ever been called to tie-break before. But anyway, the fact that I love Tantalus is one thing, but I see Ruby in the top four more so than Quan. If it were Quale instead of Quan, I JUST MIGHT have picked him.

Shall we move on, then? Good.

Round 3 - Battle 2

Stiltzkin

Seems to be the most popular Moogle. It took down Mog and Cid Fabool who are probably threats to almost anyone else.

VS.

Queen Brahne

A blob versus a Moogle... hmm. The Queen somehow pulls through beating Ramuh and Lowell. Will she get lucky this time?

Queen Brahne why not

Stiltzkin

Stiltzkin :D

It's true that I do like the moogles and in this case I'll happily vote for Stiltzkin.

Queen Brahne, she was like a train wreck, you didn't want to look at her but you just couldn't help yourself.

It's true that I do like the moogles and in this case I'll happily vote for Stiltzkin.

Stiltzkin

Stiltzkin for me too.

Stiltzkin for me too.

A fat ugly Queen, or a cute helpful moogle?

Stiltzkin

Stiltzkin 8-2 Queen Brahne

The queen's time is up, and Stiltzkin makes the top 4!

Round 3 - Battle 3

Zorn & Thorn

The Jesters of the Moon... they've got quite the charisma to make it to the top 8.

VS.

Garland

Garland again... the OTHER main villain of this game. Will he make the top four?


My vote is for Zorn and Thorn.

Garland

Garland

Garland

Garland

Zorn & Thorn

Zorn & Thorn added some comedy in the game, but I think ultimately were mostly just annoying. That, and the fact that they made lame bosses is enough to make me vote Garland.

Garland 6-2 Zorn & Thorn

If anyone can defeat Zorn and Thorn, Garland is it. Props for making the top four!

Time to determine the last member of the final four...

Round 3 - Battle 4

Baku

Insert description here about how much Baku kicks ass.

VS.

Fratley

Dragoon Knight that seems to have made it this far... which is funny as he very nearly got booted during the first battle in this rumble due to a dispute over a tie break.

Fratley

Fratley

Baku

Baku

Bwa ha ha! Baku, easily.

Baku. Fratley was cool but only appears once in the whole game.

Baku

Bwa ha ha! Baku, easily.

Fratley. :)

Baku

My vote goes to Baku

Bwa ha ha! Baku, easily.

Baku

Baku

Can we get an update?

Soon, my friend, soon. Same with the X and X-2 rumbles. I might halt the X-2 one since we're only on the first round, but this and X I have to finish because they're almost over. My computer that had all the bracket info broke, I'm on my laptop, and I have to rearrange what we have left, cause I don't remember how it was. I made this announcement in the other two. I also wasn't sure how much time I have now that I'm in school, but I think I could do it. Give me a few days, I apologize for the hold up.

Okay, sorry guys. I guess I can update this since there is only four participants left. The other rumbles, give me a few days, I got a lot of work. But once I do, we'll be back in the regular 2-day interval.

Baku 11-3 Fratley

Clear win for Baku right there (took a month), and now it's time for the SEMIFINALS!

Of the four finalists... I'll start with the tantalus showdown:

SEMIFINALS - Part 1

Ruby

Tantalus girl who made it to the top four almost easily, but with a few narrow wins.

VS.

Baku

Baku, on the other hand, has been climbing the ranks like a monkey. He just won the month-long battle, but will Ruby give him a taste of his own medicine?

Baku

Baku

Baku

Bwa ha ha ha ha! Baku, no contest, for me, really. Sure, Ruby is entertaining in her own way and occasionally interesting, but she can't hold a candle to the pure amusement value of Baku.

Baku easily

BAKU!!! definately

Baku

Baku

Baku

No competition here.

Baku

Sorry Allen, I'm a little late, but 8-0's the deciding...

Baku 10-1 Ruby

So Ruby finally met her match, and her demise in this rumble. But no worries Ruby fans, she'll be showing up in the battle for 3rd place!

First we gotta finish up the semis...

Semifinals - Part 2

Garland

Though less commercialized than Kuja, the true villain of this game. Well, he sure is recognized to have made it this far... let's see just what position he'll hold in the top 4.

VS.

Stiltzkin

Next to the badass villain we have a charismatic moogle! Size isn't everything, though... I believe Stiltz has won more washouts than Garland. This should be very interesting.

Garland.

Stilzkin. Garland is very very serious, and not in a good way.

Stiltzkin

Stiltzkin (soo cute...)

Garland

This is a tough choice for me, but my vote goes to Stiltzkin

I definitely have to vote for the moogle this time around. Stiltzkin (Man, it's going to be a tough final, though, if he wins.)

Garland

I guess I'll vote for Stiltzkin, on the factor that him versus Baku would be more interesting.

Garland gets my vote

Stiltzkin

Stiltzkin

Garland

Stiltzkin

Say, Zak, are you going to update this (or your other rumbles, for that matter)? I know you're around and I think we're all looking forward to the final.

Yes, sorry. Unlike the other semifinal round, this one was pretty even so I decided to let it go a little longer. I'll update the other ones too soon. As soon as I do, you'll know I'll have it frequented. X-2 will be quite hard, though, to pick up from where we were, but I'll do what I can. Sorry ;_;

Once I do, though, there will be no more waiting. Unless something happens to this computer.

Stiltzkin 10-8 Garland

Stiltzkin joins the final! Garland is out, but don't worry, he has one last chance to shine... in the battle for the 3rd place, the bronze!

Battle for 3rd Place

Garland

Just got mildly owned by a Moogle, but that doesn't quite disqualify him from 3rd place... not yet!

VS.

Ruby

She got trumped by her boss Baku. Things aren't looking too good for her, but you never know. That Garland...

Ruby

Garland

Garland, absolutely.

Ruby

Garland

Garland.

Ruby for me...

Garland

Ruby

Going for Ruby on this one.

hmm... is gonna be Ruby for me

Garland

Well what do you know. Considering Ruby just lost to Baku by a mile, and Garland's been on a wipeout streak, this battle is pretty even.

But...

Garland 7-6 Ruby

Sorry Ruby, but the bronze medal goes to... GARLAND!!!

Time for the ultimate finale...

FINAL BATTLE

Baku

No one better touch Baku... it was clear he'd make it this far with every battle being a wipeout and all. But maybe, MAYBE he met his match...

VS.

Stiltzkin

It's hard for this guy to lose as well, it seems... this battle will be interesting, to say the least.

Baku.

I've decided... that Stiltzkin is a worthy second. Baku may not be a moogle, but he just provides way too much humor and interest to the plot.

Stiltzkin

I love the moogles, but they are not match for Baku.

Baku

Stilitzkin (for all the times he helped me out)

Baku

Baku

Throwing in a vote for Stiltzkin.

Go Stiltzkin you trainload of confectionaries!

Stiltzkin also.

Stiltzkin (unless Baku whips out that sweet ass dragon mask again)

Welcoke back Kie! Haven't seen you in ages!

<---Krazy Kefka / Purrr

I'll go for Baku. Close one though, I'm glad these two made it to the final.

I'm gonna have to go with Baku, seconding Ceidwad's comments. I am a big fan of Stiltzkin, but Baku is perhaps the best comic relief character in an FF game.

Baku.

Let's end this....

Baku 9-6 Stiltzkin

The gold in this long-drawn NPC rumble goes to.... BAKU!!

Stiltzkin is well worth of the silver, but you just simply don't mess with Baku.

But, yeah, a worthy win.

vote on the next category... go!

Damn, I missed the final.

My nominations are;

Vile Queens Bosses

I don't remember what has been done up to this point. If Bosses has been done, then I'll suggest music. As I think IX has quite a good soundtrack. If neither of them are optional. Then fuck you I'll check back when there is more information :p

I have a feeling music has been done already. I do like the idea of Bosses
. If that has been done perhaps magic?

When Esphana started this almost a year ago, it was locations, then it was characters, now its up for grabs on the next catergory... I for one am sick of music and now it seems that all the other rumbles are doing bosses so I am for quotes...

Music has never been done for this game IIRC.

But I'll let you all take your time to decide.

Quotes sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

Music has been done waaaay too many times, so has bosses, something a little different would be a nice change....I vote for Quotes.

Zak, if you're up for it, this game really does have some great Quotes.

FFIX is perhaps the best game in the series to be doing a Quotes rumble on. Normally I would choose something else, but I agree with Agent that IX has some gems.

Alright, quotes it is.

I'll let you make nominations for quotes though since it's been a while since I played the game and I haven't quite been able to think of too many off top of head.

Though, this might sound like an odd request, but if I had them in mind I'd keep the list to myself before starting, so I'd prefer if the nominations were done via PM. I know, sounds weird, but shouldn't be much of an issue. I'll come up with a few of my own only if it must be evened out. Nominate as many as you want.

Just a quick thought on the PM issue - won't you just get loads of people sending you the same nominations over and over if there's no list in this thread? I'm not going to tell you how to run the rumble, but just a point.

Just a quick thought on the PM issue - won't you just get loads of people sending you the same nominations over and over if there's no list in this thread? I'm not going to tell you how to run the rumble, but just a point.

That doesn't bother me. I'm sure each one will have a few that no one else said, but if I only end up having a total of like 10 different ones I'll either think of my own or ask for more.

One last thing though. I'd appriciate it if whoever PMs me can come up with or at least TRY to come up with at least 10.

Zak whats going on with this?

Are you still waiting for more nominations? I can send you some more if you're having trouble coming up with stuff to include, but it'd be nice to know what's happening with this.

I can send some as well. I was just wondering as it seemed to have fizzled out...

No I've just been busy. Sorry.

any ideas when its gonna be back up so everyone who takes part has an idea?

Guys. Listen. I'm considering handing one or two or maybe all my rumbles to someone else. I'll finish X first if I give that one, though. X-2 is still on the first round, I was REALLY looking forward to how it'll turn out, I hope IF I hand someone that one, they either continue where it left off using the same 48 tracks I had in mind to begin with, or start over and do the same 48 tracks. I feel bad I haven't updated, part of me wants to give it up but part of me wants it done my way as you can probably understand. If I give someone X-2, can it be done my way? Just for this one? I really enjoy doing it I've just been really stressed and busy with school and life problems in general. My plan for the X-2 rumble was to continue where I left off, get the rest of the tracks I hadn't used and re-scramble them, since it was only the first round at all, remember how I said I lost my list. I just haven't been motivated to do that yet.

Agent... Ceidwad... Flux... anyone else want either rumble? X I'm keeping for now because it's about to end.

It sucks I enjoy doing them though, I might want to take back over when I have more free time. I'll still be around and stuff.

And if someone takes this one I'll give them the list of quotes I have so far.

I really don't have time to handle more than one rumble myself, or else I'd probably already be doing more than just the Gen FF Rumble. If anyone else wants to do it, let's get it straightened out then. Zak-- I don't see any reason why it couldn't be done your way, as long as it doesn't put any undue additional demand on anyone or anything.

My "way" is pretty much the same as Ceidwad's and yours. All I know it's very different from, say, Baby Boink's. At least from what I remember.

Well, post in this thread whatever.

I'd be happy to start again with the X-2 one. Keep all the same tracks and do it as you were planning to. But start fresh because it wasn't that far into it. As I have not done it before, I imagine following another persons plans may make it easier to get into.

So I'm officially putting my name into the hat for the X-2 rumble. As I'm a virgin at this, I'd only want to do one. So someone else will have to take care of the IX one.

As there are references to both the IX and X-2 rumbles in this post. I'm going to replicate it in both threads.

Flux I don't know how to say this... but do you mind doing this one instead?

I'm still reconsidering doing X-2 myself, don't ask why, I have my reasons. Not that I don't trust you of course... I just... have my little things I can't explain. Maybe I can. Just don't feel like it right now.

Yeah, I'll do this one if you want.

I would talk to you about it in here. But I suppose we can do it via PM?

I'll wait for you to send me one then?

I cant take em on again cause I am to busy these days sorry.

Yeah, I'll do this one if you want.

I would talk to you about it in here. But I suppose we can do it via PM?

I'll wait for you to send me one then?

Or you can get AIM.

Flux:

If no one else replies, I'll give it to you. Make sure you wait for a PM from me going over a few things first, and Agent might want to say something as well.

Also, you seem reluctant to go ahead and decide what you want to do. If it's that important to you, why not just continue them yourself?

As I suggested in X-2 if no one else wants this then Flux id say its yours, Someone has said they wouldn mind the X-2 rumble.

Agent I dont think would have a problem with someone else taking over as he wants the rumbles going as muhc as any of us.

I certainly don't. I was about to post tomorrow, anyway, asking about what's going on here, if nobody had said anything by then. Let's get some forward movement going on this.

I already said that I would do the X-2 one. But Zak then said he wanted to keep it, and asked if I would do this one instead. I have already stated that I'm happy to do either.

Well then I agree with Agent, Zak was on here last night when i was on and he read the threads but didn bother to reply so im assuming he either didn care, Or couldn be bothered to reply. So Flux go for it!

All right, per request, I am closing this for a brief while until a final decision is made. Something should definitely be posted within the next few days, so stay tuned...

(P.S.: Same goes for the X-2 Rumble.)
