How do so many people like Ultros

I don't get it

because he's hilarious

personally i don't get why anyone likes Wiegraf

He's a good tragic villain plot-wise. Like you feel pity for him as he slowly descends into madness

I don't really find Ultros that funny, I just think of him as a poor man's (octopus's?) Gilgamesh. Not that that's a bad thing, but I think he's a bit overrated as a comedic boss. I find Kefka and even Siegfried better

Freya

Oh well!

darn

sorry ecks

Freya

Who would you like

Best elimination of the bottom 3, but definitely not the best of the bottom 7.

Agnes.

i like Kefka better too but they're both great. Gilgamesh, he's cool too but not on their level imo.

Quistis Trepe

post-mortem save

Eiko

Roba remember this save, this is a trade for Garnet next year!

I was already probably going to make Garnet my first priority next year unless FFIX somehow wins again this year but thank you Nanis!

See everyone isn't Roba shying away from people like Eiko and Garnet a reason enough to let Vivi be the first back to back winner
---

no
---

how is actively campaigning for Eiko saves "shying away"
---

don't be fooled

Roba will make terrible saves next year no matter who wins this year
---

I assumed he meant if IX wins again he would drop IX characters altogether as priority for the future

LOL
---

Meh, I guess all I remember of Ultros is Don't Tease the Octopus which I find about as cheeky as you spoony bard

And Opera Fight though he's not exactly the reason why that's great
---

checking in

Nah, I just wouldn't push for Dagger to win because surely after three years in a row people would be sick of IX. Plus I'd probably main Terra in that case so Leon is right, you can't win
---

The IX horde will always push IX

Queen Brahne to win next year
---

Roba has shilled harder for Eiko this year than anyone despite the fact that she is supposedly his fourth or fifth priority so saying he won't "main" her means nothing
---

how about you main lightning until she wins roba

and then we can main iris together
---

@Nanis23 if you want to save people Roba likes you should go with Yuna/Rinoa/Lightning IMO

All higher priorities for him anyway
---

leon can voice approval except not ever save her (without trades) because she isn't ff8
---

I would definitely help Iris next year if she gets in.

She's been fourth since Serah went out! I like being a cheerleader for Eiko even though I have no claim to her continued success. People should thank the real heroes, not me

What about Ashelia "Ashe" B'Nargin Dalmasca?
---

i mean its tough i definitely support an ashe win but we need lightning to win so she can fade into obscurity and having ashe win next puts iris in danger next year with no support

i'm ok whatever way you choose though just let me know

Quistis Tripe

lopen whats the plan for tonight
---

I bet those plans don't include any sort of fried food LOLOLOLO
---

oh man at first I was like eh

but then I saw Agnes gets a boost next round and I was like aw yeah

(but tomorrow is my birthday so I probably miss the round and one of Ultimecia/Agnes likely dies anyway lolz)

Never any lawyering when you need one

It's true. Any chicken dinners I'll be partaking in will be boiled, not fried.

lopen only eats the finest grilled salmon

Nanis is still backing IX, Zidane in particular I think. Eiko just sort of fits into there sometimes but it's not like he owes me support or anything

But I don't care about Yuna and Lightning (I should fix this someday and play X and XIII) and I hate Rinoa
I don't care about Eiko either but she is FFIX so she has my back

yeahhh internet is back

personally i don't get why anyone likes Wiegraf

I really like his character arc, from "pure" revolutionary (which is by itself a character type I find really appealing) to fallen revolutionary who sacrifices anything for power. I can't even really say he did the wrong thing, based on what he knew at the time. If he doesn't join the church, he stands no chance of liberating his people. If he dies on the temple steps, he also stands no chance of liberating his people. So what should he have done? Should he have just walked away from his dream? It's a murky question, but I find it weirdly admirable that he refused to walk away, and pursued things to the end, even though it was ultimately futile and he ended up destroying himself in the process.

also, like gravy said, sweet boss fight

he's a talking octopus that yells seafood soup when he's hit with a fire attack

I don't think I have to say more

I completely understand why people like Wiegraf. Like to me, you've got a consistently written character who contributes a lot to the story and develops in a way that makes complete sense for the situations presented to him. I'd imagine these are things that appeal to a lot of people.

Unfortunately, for me, this character has a pretty boring personality where I can't really name any real personality traits aside from "driven," and I don't find most of what he does particularly interesting. As Drak said, I can't even really say he did the wrong thing-- but for me, personally, that almost takes some of the appeal from the character. Like he's almost too logically written for me to find a lot of intrigue out of what he did. He always takes the road that makes sense given the choices available to him, which is good writing I guess, but it makes me credit any real appeal I'd get out of him to the story more than him.

Like, I could humor an argument that Wiegraf himself, the entire character, is one big ass elaborate plot device.

But I get it. He's just not for me, though.
---

if big daddy wiegraf had red hair i bet you'd like him
---

Wiegraf is a good foil for Ramza

good boss fight too

all I need
