Why would you care so much about Zell? Don't tell me that he was... your "My Favorite Final Fantasy Character" all along? Gasp! No but seriously I'm curious if that still holds true considering you haven't nominated him back in for a while now.

Zell is, in fact, my Favorite Final Fantasy Character. Still as true today as it was then!

I've tried to ease off on things here recently since it's hard for me to not go more than all-in with these things. Like from CIII-CX I was dumb invested in pushing Zell as hard as I could. Honestly if it didn't happen in CX I don't know if it would have. The CX/CXI Zellgamesh runs (with Vivi final boss for both basically) was the result of so much work that burned me out really.

Plus I'm on team no repeat winners, even with my favorite of all time so I shifted priorities to giving my secondaries some good runs (some of which also have wins!) so I'm happy overall, even if I'll never see Zell get another deep run.

If I nom him back in, it'll just end up with him going out in boots, which sucks to see.

I would have pushed Zell by now if he didn't have past successes. He was always the guy that made the cut after squall and rinoa in my party!

First though Quistis needs a top 10.

Yeah she needs a proper run, only main party character (not counting Lagunabros) without a top 20 run in newstats era?

Hell, top 30, her newstats peak was 31st in XIV, hmmm...

Even if you were counting Laguna, he finished second to Cloud somewhat recently, I think XIX.

I remember Irvine getting pushed pretty far one year but I couldn't say for sure if it was top 20.

Says overall is Ramza, but I assume it takes it out to calculate game which gives me Delita

Oh fun. I swapped over to Jessie so late in the contest than my "primary" was still Barret.

Third is Ramza who I had been saving fairly consistently early on. I haven't had a need to save him in...like fifty rounds though but those early rounds added up!

(Well actual Third is Tidus but that is due to the Genny trade deal we've had going on for a long while now.)

Wow Grimbot nailed my top 3 priorities this year:

1. Tidus
2. Shuyin
3. Seymour

Dead wrong after that, but whatcha gonna do? Gotta trade to keep your priorities alive.

Interesting. I guess I can vibe with that since I'm planning on going a similar route for CXXV. I'm not quite ready to reveal my plans yet, but for once they will not involve X past the boot rounds (because let's face it I will never be ready to let my favorite Final Fantasy Character exit the ECC; and you'd have to either drag me away from the keyboard kicking and screaming or pry my mobile device from my cold, dead fingertips to make that happen).

FFDragon posted...
The CX/CXI Zellgamesh runs (with Vivi final boss for both basically) was the result of so much work that burned me out really.

According to Inviso there was allegedly a third member of the Zeller Coaster that got fucked out of her finals run. Is there even a modicum of truth to this statement or was zhe just imagining Freya would get her dues after Zell and Gilgamesh got their championship belts? This was before my time participating so before I finalize my plans for next contest I'd like to have a better idea of who to put on my shortlist.

I used to be Team Never Again, but then Vivi opened the floodgates so now all bets are off. I'm not really pushing for a platinum since I'm happy enough with the gold, but he's still MFFFC so I could never abandon him outright. Plus I'm absolutely loving this organic run whereupon I didn't have to sell my soul to make it happen. I mean... I just can't see myself pushing this hard for a character I've already watched overcome the odds, but I wasn't there for Auron's victory nor Balthier's and I'd still love to see Yuna and/or Sephiroth join the hallowed ranks of championship. But it's like... even if all your contest dreams came through where would you go from there?

If I were you and Selphie, Squall, Rinoa, Ultimecia, Doomtrain, and- fuck I don't even know who else, Aki fucking Ross I guess- went as far as I thought they ever had the potential to go and no new characters were invented by Square-Enix that outranked them then why wouldn't I just go back to saving Zell? That's how I feel now about Tidus except for the fact that I haven't played every FF so I can't say for sure if I would like any characters more than him, but it's really doubtful.

Sorry, but that's dumb. You've already got diehard VIII loyalists willing to keep him in through the boot rounds, and while he'll likely never go that deep again I could certainly see top half to maybe even top third finishes in his future.

Those rankings would hold more water if Laguna weren't literally a former finalist. Look I didn't say it was guaranteed to happen only that it has the potential of happening with or without FFD! However it is of course highly more likely to happen if he joins sooner than top 25 or whenever he usually hops aboard. I mean look at how Super Strong Rinoa was even before FFD's participation. Now think of what Seifer or Ultimecia could do with him actually nominating them in and throwing them a save when they're most vulnerable.

As far as single game loyalists I can only think of you, FFD, Socko*, and Leonhart** but there are people crying out for different VIII characters to go on deep runs literally right now so if y'all could work together like you did with Rinoa I could see it happening.

*sometimes
**May his participation in SMFFFC outside the final round RIP
