Its exactly what it sounds like. A 64 member single elimination tournament between Final Fantasy characters.

But like most tournaments this one is going to require a little bit of prep work to finish complete it. So, without further ado we'll get started with the most important aspect, seeding.

First, restrictions.

1. All characters have to appear in a Final Fantasy Title. It can be any Final Fantasy title, including all sequel games and yes, even movies.

Kingdom Hearts is not a Final Fantasy title, and Kingdom Hearts feats will not be allowed.

2. Game Mechanics, for the purpose of this tournament, are acceptable as feats since many characters only have game mechanics to go on.

3. Seed selection: There are going to be 4 list of 16 to make up the tournament field. The Categories are Player Characters, Non Player Characters, Bosses, Mobs.

Player Characters are characters that are playable by the player.

Non Player Characters are not Playable by the player, but may are not bosses.

Boss Characters are of course characters that you can fight against as Boss Battles.

Mobs are random encounters, or other monsters that have appeared throughout the series. They include characters such as the Tonberry and Cactaurs.

Some characters appear in multiple categories, such as several members of the Turks. For instance, Reno of the Turks first appeared as a Boss, and then a Player Character, and more recently as a non player character. In the cases of characters that appear multiple times, whichever bracket they rank the highest in is the one they will be seeded to.

Seeding points work as follows. There are four lists, ranging from 1 to 16. You can fill out as many or as few as you want. Characters ranked in the number 1 position on your list will recieve 16 points, 2 will receive 15 and so on. The characters with the most points will be first and will continue going down the list until all positions have been field.

Picking characters is fine, but it would be better if they where actually ranked. At the time being I don't know if you mean for those characters to be ranked in the order that you listed them or what.

I'm also going to assume that Tifa on Soljer's list is in the PC catigory since she has appeared as an NPC in Crisis Core, Before Crisis, and Dirge of Cerberus.

In what category?

He can be reasoned to be a PC since you can directly and indirectly control the summons in Final Fantasy X.
 
I honestly think some characters like Kefka should be banned, they're horribly unbalanced. Just a thought
 
PC:

Celes
Milandu
Realm

NPC:

Dr Shanttoto
Aijido Murajido
General Leo

Boss:

Arc Angel Elvan

Mobs:

The stupid dino who appers on the jungle of ffvi that could give kekfa a run for him money.

So far I can think of those.

Click to expand...

Game Mechanics are allowed, there are actually some optional bosses that would smoke Kefka. There are some that are way tougher than Kefka though.
 
I'm going to edit this into the main post, but this is what I have up to Xellos's post.

The format will be as follows."Character name" (Point Total)

There are several ties in first at the moment, in the events of ties I will place them in the order that they appeared. This is by no means final either so expect some positions to change.

Anyhow, I'll fill in any blank spots on the brackets with a few personal picks if its not completed by this Monday.

I'm almost finished, the only hang up I had was I couldn't find out who Milandu was. Now that I know I'll finish up the player character, NPC, and Mob brackets and we'll be set.
 
Any Cid accept Cid from VI and Cid from XII. Cid from VII works because he's an NPC in at least 2 games, (maybe 3 with Crisis Core, since I'm not sure if he shows up in CC or not.)
 
Well, you had a chance to vote. There where a lot spots left over. I would have taken any extra votes until Monday, almost a full week.

EDIT: Anyhow, lets move discussion over here. D.Gray-man episode 75 RAW. Enjoy.
