I played Chrono Cross.

Problem arises in that there's 33 characters in the OP, and Chrono Cross technically adds another 40, more than doubling the above number of characters. Plus, very few of them are as recognizable as the character from Final Fantasy.

Chrono games ftw!

Then, my problem with FF8, is the sameness in the main characters. They're all very ... normal. Not the most exciting choices for a big 'ole brawl. I'll give 'em a shot though. And I always thought Zack was extraneous to the already convoluted FF7 plot.

...

edit: Now, if I was going to include Sephiroth just 'cause he made a cameo in the party, then I'd have to include Edea and Seipher, too. Oh, and there's Biggs and Wedge (beginning of FF6). No one can claim Biggs and Wedge aren't important enough (even if they're not main characters) to not be included. =P

I would love to be in on this, either playing as Zach, Cloud or Squall...

I am fully behind you on this one!

Let us know when you have an update for time/date.

Friday I'm running D&D all day, and that will also be the night I take a "late shift."
I'm thinking Saturday afternoon, possibly 3-8 PM, to pick up people who die out/drop out of the BESM Tournament.

What say you?

edit:
OMGWTF -- I totally forgot that Tidus doesn't "technically" survive the game.
I'm even playing FFX right now, and I totally forgot. XD
*Fixed OP*

No NO NO NO NO!

Did you get 100% completion of FF-X2?

A) you forgot Payne from FF-X2

B)

Spoiler

if you get 100% completion of FF-X2, you find out that Tidus survived, he was just asleep again. You can't kill the fayth

Please note that I don't list FF X-2 as one of the games I have played.

Also note that I put "technically" in "quotes," which suggests I already knew.

Then why cut him out?

*Shrug* To save a little on the mental strain.

I figure if I make the rules for the character selection impartial, then I won't run into the same issues as if I held a popularity contest to determine which characters were in and which were out. Either way, some people wind up unhappy. Ultimately, I'll make the characters I want to make, and if anyone has particular requests, I'll do my best to fulfill those requests.

[keideki]

Either way, I wan to try to fit this into my schedule, I am thinking it would be fun to play cloud or squall.

As to date/time

Date is fine, I was hoping it would be a little later in the evening, as not to interfere in the other events going on that day.

I've got a friend who's playing FF8 right now. I haven't been following the game too avidly, though with her help, I might be able to "gather information" on the characters enough to construct their d20 equivalents.

That's a maybe, not a definite. Cloud, on the other hand, will be there for sure.

You could always just read a walk through on gamefaq...

That doesn't familiarize me with the characters or their stories.

That would be like writing an in-depth character analysis based on Cliff Notes. It doesn't work.

Well, if you are talking just about their ablities and what not, stats, attacks and magic, a walk through is fine, but not for Who they are, most like for What they do.

Any word on the date/time?

[TerrenceT]

Why did you cut out Edgar?

The only thing he shares with Shadow or Edge, is that Edge was a prince.
Edgar was one of the most interesting characters in FF6.

Nobody uses tools as weapons in any other Final Fantasy. (Multiple tools)
If anything you cut Edge for the reason of being like Shadow, except Shadow ripped Edge off.

Also Ayla over Gau Really?
Gau had 8X more story than Ayla had, and more range of moves.

But whatever im just throwing opinions out there.

@Nick or Terrence: Is this going to be an official event? If so when are the sign ups?

I have nothing to do with this idea, and it's outside my department. So I got no idea. I was just commenting.
