The idea, hinted way back in a dead thread, is deciding which characters from which FF to make the cut into the roster. Since having a Mugen (google it) of everyone isn't going to work for an authentic fighting game, I've limited the choices of up to four per category (game). List only your four choices for each listed category, and I'll compose and edit the list to contain popular choices, with parenthetical counts of votes next to each name. Only the topmost voted will make it, ties past the initial four won't. As to what sort of game engine they'd be duking it out in, I leave that up to your imagination to whatever works best, be it GGXX style or SSBM style or such.

EDIT as of 10/13 4:10 pm
There still is the problem of a possibly oversized roster. Please decide if this will be FF-only or all of Squaresoft or SquareEnix. If the latter, then I might cut down the categories from 4 each to 3 or even 2 each. If you'll notice, some nominations were removed. This is because of ties. It's quite possible that not all categories will get full, so the roster might not be as crowded as it could be.
The Final Bosses category is for the fighting game bosses, like Giga Bowser and Master Hand are for SSBM. As such, those tossed with specific games will move here. Note that if a boss is game-specific and is roughly final, it qualifies for this category over the game category. This goes for all nominations, I have to decide if a choice is game-specific or a generic category.

Allowable choices include:
Playable characters
Non-playable characters
Bosses

Categories include:
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy Tactics
Mascots
Summons
Chrono Trigger
Final Bosses NOT PLAYABLE

If a new category is needed, it'll need several nominations.

To inspire more creativity, I encourage movelists for given characters, whatever engine you think is best. Not only would I like to see the most popular, but also the most functional. If you pay close attention, I abbreviate variations on choices (ie Cecil) into a single choice because of redundancy. This would extend to different games as well, such as Mog from FFVI is essentially the same as the generic moogle or Stiltzkin.

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

They should make this game.

OK, let's see:

FFIV:

Cecil ala Sheik (switch between Dark Knight and Paladin)
Edge, with the Masamune in one hand and the Murasame in the other (I think of Marth or Roy with two swords)

FFVI:

Shadow w/ Interceptor move ala Fox and Falco calling starships
Locke, with the ability to steal items wielded by others


I'd like to say Kefka, but think he would look kinda silly in hand-to-hand combat

FFVII:

Cloud & Sephiroth, of course...you can't avoid these two and their conflict
Rufus, complete with Shotgun
Vincent, ditto; they could even be clones of one another, except Vincent has the ability to turn into a monster when his energy gets low


Summons should work like Pokemon, and I would recommend:

Bahamut (too big of a staple not to be included)
Odin (instant KO of everyone who gets in his way except the summoner)


Off the top of my head, that's all I'd want.

I second the Chrono Trigger category, and my nominations would be Ayla, Magus, and Marle.

Final Fantasy IV: Cecil, Rosa, Yang
Final Fantasy V: Faris
Final Fantasy VI: Celes, Edgar, Umaro, Sabin
Final Fantasy VII: Barret, Cid, Tifa
Final Fantasy VIII: Jumbo Cactuar
Final Fantasy IX: Steiner
Final Fantasy X: Auron, Lulu


--------------------

Veni, vidi, dormivi.

Hrm... let's see

FFI: Monk/Black Belt
FFIV: Cecil (transforms fr. Paladin to Drk. Knight like shiek)
FFVI: Definites:Sabin, Mog, Cyan, and Leo
FFVII: Obviously Cloud and Sephiroth, Tifa, and Barret
FFVIII: Squall/Seifer and Zell
FFIX: Zidane, Freya
FFX: Auron

Summons: Ramuh, Bahamut, Ifrit, Shiva
Mascots: Cactaur

A ssbm of ff would be completley awesome. You reading this Square-Enix?!

--------------------

Neneko is Neneko because Neneko couldn't be Neneko if Neneko wasn't Neneko!
--as quoted from Neneko, Mahoraba {Heartful Days}

I can stab a man with a thick paperback book thru the ribcage.

FF IV- Cecil, Kain, Palom & Porom (like ice climbers), Yang, Golbez
FF V- Faris
FF VI- Locke, Celes, Terra, Umaro, Mog, Gau (like kirby...learning the abilities by jumping)
FF VII- Cloud, Vincent, a moogle (that'd give me a laugh), Sephiroth, Yuffie, Red XIII
FF VIII- Squall, Seifer, Zell, Catoblepas, Bahamut (my fav look of him), Galbadian soldier
FF IX- Zidane, Steiner, Vivi, Blank, Trance Kuja, Necron, Deathguise(summon), Freya
FF X- ...NO ONE i hate them all...
FF X-2- Same
Crono Trigger- Magus, Crono, Frog, Robo, Lavos (as a summon)(the turtley one)

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

--------------------

Aujourdhui a commence avec toi.

If I want to add a moves list, what system would this be on?

--------------------

Neneko is Neneko because Neneko couldn't be Neneko if Neneko wasn't Neneko!
--as quoted from Neneko, Mahoraba {Heartful Days}

I can stab a man with a thick paperback book thru the ribcage.

FFVI: Terra
FFVI: Terra
FFVI: Terra

There, that's three votes right there!

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

Meh, I'll just do two or three from each game that deserve it. And I'll also expand the definition to super Square-Enix brothers. I'm not choosing my favorite characters, just ones that would create decent variety and *might* fit in to such a game. I'm not doing every Squenix game in existence, mind you, just a few random ones.

FF IV: Paladin Cecil, Dark Knight Cecil, Edge
FF V: Gilgamesh, Guido
FF VI: Cyan, Mog, Terra
FF VII: Vincent, Red XIII
FF VIII: Zell, Squall, Seifer
FF IX: Vivi, Zidane, Beatrix
FF X: Tidus, Wakka
FFT: Orlandu, Mustadio
Chrono Trigger: Crono, Frog, Magus
Xenogears: Citan, Rico, Emeralda, hell, all of them would fit the bill
Secret of Evermore: The Boy and his Dog (as one character)
Dragon Quest Series: The Hero, Slime

Oh yeah, topic creator, the idea of actuallying nominating and recording characters is ludicrous. This isn't going to go anywhere, and this isn't gamefaqs.

--------------------

this is a blog mostly about comics and videogames
END SPOILER

Final Fantasy-Monk
Final Fantasy IV- errr Dark Knight Cecil
Final Fantasy V- n/a (no one is actually almighty powerful)
Final Fantasy VI- Shadow
Final Fantasy VII- Emerald Weapon
Final Fantasy VIII- Omega Weapon (if possible selphie with "The End")
Final Fantasy IX- 3 Yans and steiner with shock and all those other last abilties,vivi with doomsday
Final Fantasy X- Seymor Flux
Final Fantasy Tactics- T.G. Cid (with all abilities), Olan with auto haste and lvl 99 with 999 mp >:D
Summons-Bahamut, Tonberry

I: Black Mage
IV: Cecil (Sheik transformation)
V: Gilgamesh, Omega, Shinryu
VI: Ultros, Siegfried.
VII: Sephiroth, Jenova, Cloud
VIII: Omega Weapon, Ultima Weapon, Seifer
IX: Zidane, Kuja/Trance Kuja
X: Sin, Seymour, Magus Sisters (Ice Climber thing)

you know what ultros from FFVI could play in a sortof bowser/samus esque style

it would be interesting to play as ultros

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

Some commentary ideas (by NO means complete or comprehensive):

1. How about including the White Mage of FFI (gender unspecified)? The WM could wield the now-trademark hammer, and be skilled at self-healing and healing of other characters. (That'd make for an interesting twist so far unseen in Smash Bros. games.)

2. Omega of FFV should be a special boss. (NOT a playable character, of course.)

3. Ultros should be playable, but hidden--to be unlocked after the player completes something.

4. Magus from CT should be included, along with his characteristic Dark Matter spell, but that spell should have special restrictions put on it such that it isn't abused--such as long charging time, limited use per battle, etc..
