Board 8 > Save Viso's Favorite Final Fantasy Characters Special Edition: Day 16 [svfffc]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Finally reversing the paralegaling from a few rounds ago, the top ten no longer looks quite so lopsided in FF6's favor. Still a ways to go yet though.

Rules:

- You personally (No bots/scripts/lending of accounts) can save 1 character per hour.
- A character needs 3 votes to be saved.
- 3 unique users need to save a character for that character to be saved.
- Ambiguous (i.e. "Cid" or "Cloud") or "If X, then Y" saves will not count.
- Last character unsaved is eliminated.
- No alts, no rallying, no post deletion/editing (unless correcting an update), no spoiler tags. Save trading is A-OK!
- If you want to update, make sure it's accurate.
- Only Inviso can start up new topics.
- Community Rule is in effect. Deliberate rules violations will result in bans.

Let's follow up on Inviso's comment and help make FF6 less lopsided, yeah?

5. Balthier

Yeah, Balthier outranks Fran despite the fact that I'm far more likely to save her than him when push comes to shove. FFXII, as I believe I said in Fran's write-up (or maybe it was Penelo's), is a very brown and dull game. Gameplay is fine, but the story is...not great. But then in the middle of all that blandness, you get this suave, charming guy like Balthier who just stands out in a franchise that has become more and more over-the-top and exuberant in terms of the personalities in each playable cast. We first meet Balthier in the midst of trying to out-thief Vaan, which really isn't that hard because JFC Vaan is terrible. But this leads to Balthier getting roped into Ashe's plans, and although Balthier easily could've sunk into melodrama with his connection to one of the game's antagonists, he just kinda let Cid's presence roll of his shoulders. I liked it. I liked having this cool badass who could spout one-liners and hung out with a hot Viera. He's like the Lando Calrissian opf Final Fantasy, and that's awesome.

Ah, I knew he'd be top five. I tried!

....though now I wonder how much those Setzer votes were in support of him, or in spite of my hope another FF6 character could be expunged...

wait why doesn't locke have his last name in the eliminations list
