| Topic | Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XXV: Day 75 [smfffc] |
| MartinFF7 08/29/23 5:05:53 PM #262: | GenesisSaga posted... If you're voting for Aerith because you really like her the best, then keep doing what you're doing. You're golden . But if you're pushing her because you think she has a significantly better shot than Tifa or Sephiroth then you're dumb and I can't WAIT to help crush your dreams for a third time in a row . Unnecessarily cruel... I really don't think there's anyone who's saying "I'm supporting her because she has the best chance to win"? I'm supporting her because she got so close twice and it's heartbreaking and I can't give up without trying again, even if she's really my #2 rather than #1. I'd assume there's a few other people like that, outside of her usual #1 folks. I never quite thought about it until now but there is a recurring theme in my participating here on backing characters who I feel like "deserve it" - not "owed it", just to be clear, there's a difference - and I never quite thought about that until just now, checking the past:
Throw in XX Vincent just because he was the last FF7 character (not to mention my first year), and outside the usual Cissnei pushes the only time I've actually truly supported my #1 all the way was in contest XXII with Tifa. But I think there's still a lot of enjoyment that can be found in supporting a character who's not your #1 favourite, and your #1 gets put on the back burner as a result? The best time I ever had in this contest was the Lightning run, and maybe that was more due to being so new I wasn't thoroughly burnt out yet. But I like to think it was also a bit of, I don't know, a little contest self-sacrifice for the greater good? Sorry if all of the above sounds dumb, just want to get this posted before lefty drops Cindy's stats so we can forget I ever posted it. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
