1. What did you think about CXIV and the new regime? (#banffd and #longliveffd are both acceptable answers)
It was okay. There was certainly no sibling cheating, which was nice.
2. How did this year's Top Ten compare to others for you?
There were a lot of the ones I liked best going out early and a lot that I didn't care for sticking around for a long long time. I was not a fan of the top ten this year.
3. Which character are you hoping to make a run next contest?
Cid Highwind is really due for a deep run. I want Galuf or Faris to go far too. (OH WAIT god dammit)
4. What was the biggest upset in this contest?
The one lawyering that kept a character in for dozens more rounds. I think it was Hope who got to stick around forever because of it?
5. Does Zack deserve to be champion? Why?
I haven't played any FF7 spin-offs, so all I know him as is this kind of side character who I never cared for.
6. Does Squall deserve to be runner-up? Why?
I'm not that big a Squall fan. Yeah, he has development, but some of the way his character goes along that development I'd rather just not have.
7. What number would you like to see the field at next year? (75/80/85/90/95/100)
Any of those I guess. Maybe a little more?
8. With the floodgates open next year, which newcomers and returners would you like to see?
Galuf and Faris. Eliminations this year sucked.
9. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
Having rounds always start at the same times was really not cool, as I constantly missed rounds. I ended up missing over half of them. The one thing Raytan did better was switch up when they started and just have them whenever, so people of all different schedules could participate. Especially in the one save rounds, The character I would've saved first went out a couple times (as my new first went out, then my new new first).
