Sounds like he has a lot in common with Japan.

Is his taste in women as bad as Squall?
I don't think Rinoa ever tried to get Squall killed. Cosmos, on the other hand, does exactly that, and is in love with either WoL's mortal enemies or
his father

Touche. I guess I was just looking for more reasons to hate on Rinoa!

I like Rinoa. >_> Mostly due to nostalgic ties to VIII.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Agrais >>> Ashe
I liked most everyone from FFXII, but I honestly couldn't get into her.

Truth. Squall was an idiot.

Let's agree the orphanage thing was...not needed.

Goddamnit, I forgot that existed and now I am angry at Quistis. >:-(
Hahhhahhaha, that actually changes things quite a bit.
Wow this poll is incredible. Just two votes...

They said there was a list of 46 candidates with a lot of ties, do we know what those are. I dislike how they showed 32 ranks for males and only 17 for the females.
This poll is beginning to sound worse and worse. We already know there were a lot of ties.
Do you know how many votes there actually were by chance? Seems like there must have been a very small number.
I like to pretend it did not happen.
Radical alteration of things.
Also, am I the only one who thinks Rosa is only on this list because FF4 gets released REPEATEDLY? Like, ROSA. Come on! Rydia, sure, but Rosa?
Let me guess, Toriyama and Kitase.
No, they got lazy. I know for a fact that some people wrote in votes for characters like Fang and Stella though. Unfortunately SE took down the forum already.

I'm half convinced the people preferring Quistis over Rinoa have a teacher/whip fetish. >_>
Edit: Huh, she was only a year older than Squall. Still unethical.
Squall did the ethical thing.

Rinoa at 10?
Fuck this list.

Only slightly.

A lot of us were probably young enough that Quistis was what birthed the fetish in the first place. ;-)
I kid. But I do like her whip. =O
RE: ethics. Well he was graduating when she came on to him, so there wouldn't really have been any conflict of interest at that point.
Last I looked it was over 800.

I can kind of see where she's coming from. Squall and Quistis were essentially co-workers.
That said hooking up with Rinoa was also unethical because you shouldn't fraternize with clients like that.
In the end...he still should have went with Quistis.

I have no preference (Selphie is my favorite female from 8) but the main issue is Rinoa has a very grating personality. She gets the group in trouble several times and is just really annoying.

WHERE THE HELL IS FRAN.
Should have been the correct answer.
God damnit. Japan really didn't appreciate FF XII, huh?
First characters should have been Balthier and Fran respectively :I
Btw, I came in the thread thinking "Oh Japan, please don't disappoint me - please don't be lightning."

Hahahaha, oh man, that's barely anything. This poll isn't even really worth discussing.
But I'm still going to shake my fist at it for shafting so many of the greats!

Yeah, I'd say hooking up w/a client is way more unethical than w/a co-worker, but there are so many shades of grey in this sort of thing.
EDIT: Plus, by mid-game, her relationship to Squall was essentially the same as Rinoa's: followers to his lead in a ragtag band of amnesiac world savers.
I don't really like Selphie myself, but her electronic bulletin board and attempts to make "Booyaka" a thing were kind of endearing. It carried over into her Dissidia persona as well, and she was amusing there.

Her antics are hilarious for the most part and I like her energetic attitude. Between her and Zell, it's never a dull moment.

I guess.
I always thought she had mental problems.

Rinoa forced Squall into it, that it isn't even funny.

WAIT NO FRAN?
Yeah, fuck this list. Easily top 5 material.
So, at most, a couple thousand votes like I originally assumed.
This is lol worthy. It's not even worth discussing.

Her feelings developed while she had a position of power over him.
Yeah, the bulletin board gave her some more depth.

But she didn't attempt to act on them until he was no longer her student.
I mean, you're right ofc. If this was real life, I'd be creeped out by her behavior (though it would be significantly mitigated by the fact that she's a very young teacher and only a year his senior in age) but since it's not I just focus on the fact that she has a whip and knee high boots and glasses, and Rinoa is kind of annoying for the first half of the game.

It's not a big deal, just thought it'd be an amusing talking point. Rinoa is more annoying during the later parts of the game when she becomes a damsel in distress/plot device.

Which vote would Quina qualify for?
Not sure who I would have went with, either Garnet, Terra, Beatrix or Freya.
Cool to see Zidane so high up anyway, he's my fave FF character hands down.
I like the cut of your FFIX jib, boy!
