@Inviso Do you want to trade again next round h1?

I cannot. I'm already in an established trade with Suprak, and I cannot guarantee (especially after last year) that there would even BE a second hour. Believe me, I wish I could, but I'm going to have to decline. You should find a different person to trade with for Faris though!

@BlueCrystalTear

Been a pleasure trading with you but this is where it ends for me.
Okay! That's fine with me. Final 3 is a fine time to stop. It's been a pleasure trading with you too :)

Hopefully we can get Faris/Aeris in the finals!

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).

Yeah I was like that too for a while with still clinging to Zell until the halfway point, but then it just muddled all my side projects so I chose to hang my hat on the W and abandon the STATS. Which does hurt, but the freedom did allow for some fresh A++ runs.

GenesisSaga posted...
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.

This is... half true. I distinctly remember having a conversation with Vis where I said if they helped Zell in the finals over Yuffie that I would help Freya in CXI. I didn't promise a finals run, but I did promise help. But then Freya fluke went out super early (partially because of the Mesh priority) in CXI which I took as "and now my watch has ended" kind of thing. Which I will fully admit was a "letter of the law, not the spirit of the agreement" kind of thing, and some 15 years later I am also willing to say that was a bit of a dick move on my part. So I apologize.

And then after CXI like I said I was burned out. CXII I was just kind of there. CXIII I was checked out going in and people probably forget I first "retired" early in that one and probably would have stayed out had the whole raytangate thing never happened. But then I caught that second wind and piggybacked a super niche favorite of mine - fueled on pure spite and propaganda - to a lightning in a bottle victory out of it. In doing so I kinda did some damage to the foundation of the contest so I felt obligated to at least re-stabilize everything so it could keep going.

All of this to say that things escalated after CX ended and I took Freya's fluke exit as an escape hatch to the handshake agreement. I always intended to follow through as best I could in CXI, but once that happened I didn't want spend an entire other year on it, and then all hell broke loose.

GenesisSaga posted...
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?

Aki has a top ten in her, I can feel it. Seriously though the CX Zell run was peak SMFFFC for me and nothing will recapture that. CXIII was close on pure ridiculousness, but CX will always be what I remember about this game. Sure I will always save Zell if he is in and I am here, but if I am here for the long haul I like having a "project" and there will be no project with Zell that is better than CX.

GenesisSaga posted...
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.

Oh I don't disagree he could reach those goals again, I just think we have fundamental differences in how we play this game. Which is fine. As much as I shitpost and complain sometimes, I truly love this thing and am happy to see it still around. We've been doing this for almost 20 years now, that's crazy to me. And I know some people (like, perhaps charon) aren't the biggest fans of how I've played through the years but I've valued the rivalry and hold no genuine ill will against anyone here. If these things were a hivemind, the victories wouldn't be as sweet.

GenesisSaga posted...
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.

okay this one hurts

because while I do have like a six-pack of 8ers I'd save over a lot of people find me a non-trade save of mine for like Quistis, Irvine, or Seifer

I don't think there's a single game in any series, including Resident Evil, where I like every character

Don't worry I'm not planning on maining him next contest and without me he tends to stall out in the 30-40 range so I'm essentially leaving the door wide open for Seymour, Rikku and/or Auron to take/reclaim depending on what STAT you're looking at.

Ah, I see. So Inviso was right to feel burned, but you weren't exactly obligated to push Freya another year either. That sucks for them, but zhe's had a decent Freya run since then so... fair enough I guess!

FFD I say this as a fan of yours... but as someone who knows very little about wrestling (and at the time knew next to nothing) "ONE. MORE. ROUND." was hands down the single most annoying gimmick for the most nothing character ever. And before the peanut gallery makes its unwelcome appearance, yes I know all about pushing niche characters way too far, but at least none of mine have been from a single film unrelated to any game that baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarely qualifies as Final Fantasy. /mic drop Genny out!!

I rewatched it a few months ago and it's good but the third act is the Travolta-in-Pulp-Fiction meme where he's looking around, it's just kind of... blitzed right through, there and gone. I assume it's around that point in production when Squaresoft had exhausted their funds and were calling up Enix.
