Yep, I'll do some FFXII Last Character Standing stats a little bit later

all hail ashe
---

tbh I was enjoying Vayne's run. he gets a weird amount of hate for someone so inoffensive.

Dynast King Ashe is legit though
---

Ashe is cool and good
---

I mean the fact that he doesn't do much of anything is the exact reason he gets hate

it's the same reason Vaan gets hate

if Vayne weren't presented as the primary threat it wouldn't be that big of a deal but he's the worst villain in a game that's actually got a decent cast of side villains
---

Way too many praising Ashe that hardly, or never, vote for her. It'd kinda be nice if it meant something given how terrible XII does on a very regular basis.

I just needed someone to give one free save to Tidus but they wouldn't. It's incredible really how often he is being left.

is this a declaration that you're going to start saving Ashe then

I like Ashe a lot (tried to get voltch to toss her a save this round even) but I don't think there should be this weird standard that you can't say you like a character if you don't save them
---

All of the priority support Tidus used to have is gone this year. Ever since he won he seems to have lost support

roba do i ever save ashe
---

Anyway, let's go ahead and do the FFXII last character standing stats

Balthier - 4 (CVIII, CXIII, CXV, CXVIII)
Ashe - 3 (CXII, CXVII, CXIX)
Dr. Cid - 3 (CIX, CX, CXVI)
Basch - 1 (CXI)
Larsa - 1 (CXIV)
---

Ashe is like second to Balthier IMO

And that includes good ol Dr Cid

That or it's abandoned mid-contest.

It kinda sucks, because I sort of resent having to save him now in a way. That feeling when other people who have Tidus as a top level fave have the ability and freedom to go off and do whatever sort of project runs they want to do, because they have confidence in me to make sure he doesn't die. Then if I don't save him, I probably get chastised like I did for Auron and Jecht (and even Locke) going out.

Yes, yes you do
---

I mean, he has already won.

Plus, judging from who I'm assuming you're talking about, it's not like those characters shouldn't get a run given that game came out already
---

Vayne did nothing wrong!
---

I started up Bravely

So that's how you pronounce Agnes
---

It's like italian
---

Just from opening cutscene

Agnes reminds me of Dagger
Tiz seems like tragic protagonist type with that twist
Edea actually looks really cool, surprisingly
I already hate Ringabel

Gonna have to play more tomorrow though! At least I'm pretty interested thus far
---

Outstanding news.

I was one of the very few maining Tidus the last two years. Like the year after he won I pretty much only saved him and traded for him every round. Then last year he died when I slept through a round. I really liked XV and especially the cast so I wanted to help them in their first year. I think I deserve a year off after maining him for 5 straight years! I really do want to help him out though but Prompto hasn't been doing so hot!

See, on the flip side, to me this reads like you feel entitled to not save Tidus, and also not have him die. Which is kinda why I get irritated when you nominate all this random gutter trash into the contest, because this mindset is clearly something you have.

I used to save Sephiroth at high priority. I didn't this year, and this wasn't some sorta ploy to get barrel to save him more aggressively-- rather, I accept his low placement and move on.
---

well that wouldn't have really worked anyway since barrel quit as soon as Auron got booted
---

Well whatever. You know what I'm saying

I feel like the main Tidus person who "goes and does other projects" and has the hope that others will save Tidus is vcharon himself.
---

I'll just throw it out there that I welcome one and all to save Squall and I can assure you that he will always be my main priority even as I pursue other projects on the side

(anyone who wants to join the Hart Foundation is welcome too)

(I wish I were any good at coming up with imaging because that would probably help since apparently having an awesome blatant ripoff name isn't good enough)
---

maybe this would work...?



or maybe some Final Fantasy Football

Yeah, because I've got a whole bunch of my projects I chose over Tidus to show for it right now don't I?

Good stuff.
---

Your projects are dead, sure.

But what are the projects of the rest of the Tidus mains and/or are they complaining about needing to spare a vote to save him?

It's a combination of

1. Having other things you're supporting that take so much focus that they must be called a "project"
2. Refusal to accept Tidus perhaps having issues peacefully

I think you're literally the only one of his main savers both of these statements apply to

Talk to me on discord imoooooooooo hi LOPEN

I rarely say anything. It's some other entitled and self righteous person that makes a stink when a major character goes out in place of a niche character they don't like.

Not sure who that could be.
---

hey vayne did good work he helped clip balthier

good enough for me
---

friendly reminder Ringabel is the best
---

don't make me get the newspaper gmun
---

I'm not sure who that could be either.

Is it Gen?
---

It's probably that guy who claimed he was chill with Sephiroth doing poorly but couldn't stop himself from commenting on Jecht, Auron and Locke going out.
---

he didn't actually say anything when Sephiroth went out so his claim checks out
---

I commented but it wasn't really "a stink." Like if you consider commenting a stink then you make a stink literally every round.

I mean I don't think I've ever saved any of them before like final 10. They're just not really high priority saves that I would care enough to make a stink about. I'm kinda on the "overrated" camp for all of them, really.
---

Haven't commented at all outside of saves and off topic stuff, "every round".

Learn the meaning of literally then get back to me. Until then remain an arrogant hypocrite.
---

There are also a lot of people who like ffx and even Tidus who dont save them because of Gen and vchar being so...gen and vchar.
---

Literally obsessed at 4 in the morning. Worth more than good Tidus placements tbh
---

Lots of people love Lightning too.

(Maybe that one's just me)
---

My project died last week and I don't really think much on it

I don't even think I saved him half the rounds
---

I'm late on this but the fuck? Nobody chastised you or even thought of you for any of those, unless you mean for saving the randos instead but even then. Like for Auron specifically that was like a barrel and I thing and I wanted to have anyone save him but it ended up not being the case. Like I don't think anyone gave you any thought for that case.

Yes it so very clearly doesn't bother you.
