railentheLAGUNA’S! BECAUSE IT HAS FAIRIES! XD
Sorry, it had to be said. His Ex Burst is my favorite for a reason, after all.
That said—uh, Toffee? Did you mean in-game or Player’s Choice?
Cuz I’m answering both and no Cloud or Squall is going to stop me.
(hahah see what I did there? I’ve backseat gamed enough to know that one!)
TWOFER because I’m doing the additional!questions and because this feels kind of half-assed!
Favorite In-Game Party
I’m kind of partial to the 012 scenario duo of Firion and Kain. When Kain runs into Firion, it starts the cutest little slashy thing. Firion’s so upbeat and outgoing, and Kain doesn’t seem to know what to do with it. He just keeps up his trademark deep thoughts and “I’M BATMAN” stoicism. As you progress, Kain does relax…slightly.
Then he stumbles onto a summonstone.
Firion: Kain, is that…?
Shiva: Allow me to lend you my powers. Trust in my northerly winds.
Kain: Firion?
Shiva: What’s wrong? Come to me…
Firion: Um…
013 hasn’t happened yet. So there are a few possibilities here:
1) Deliberate call-forward by the writers,
2) LAMIA FLASHBACK,
3) Timescrew, or
4) This isn’t Firion’s first cycle, and this happened in 011, too—meaning that Shiva’s one hell of a stalker with a crush.
Either of these is fine with me. The point is, I can’t help but like this duo, even when you KNOW what Kain’s going to have to do at the end.
For the record, option 4 has my full support. FOR THE LULZ.
*_*_*
A close second would have to be—and I know this will surprise a few of you out there, because since when I have I shown myself a sympathizer with this group?—589. There’s just something about their dynamic. They provide some much needed comic relief in a storyline that gets a little darker every time you turn around.
Favorite Choice Party
Not surprisingly, it’s the team that was behind my 000 victory: Kain, Laguna, Prishe, Lightning, and Vaan. Each member covers a weakness of the others.
Anyone wanting to see why this is, if you have the NA region DDFF, I’ll construct my party and pimp them out. Fair warning, everyone’s SSS Vicious except Laguna and Prishe—they’re SSS Valiant.
EDIT: Team Pimp!eror: Mateus, Ultimecia, Prishe, Yuna, Lightning.
What? Emperor Bowie needs his harem.

LOL I'M TALKING TO THE FUTURE
Date: 2011-07-01 04:34 am (UTC)Ooh, I thought of a party that I'd forgotten about…
If you make that comm I'd watch. :3
As soon as I reset my PSP's network code (the guy keeps changing the security protocols without telling me) I'll be downloading IX =D
Bad news: Triple Triad is still the hottest card game in the future
Date: 2011-07-01 04:41 am (UTC)Well first I need to learn a little more about LJ layouts and settings, then my first order of business would be to post up a few translations/scans of the FFIX ultimania as well as some fan arts just to get the ball rolling. I'll ask Schala for a few tips about comm running before I go anywhere near constructing it. Maybe by the end of the summer I'll enough knowledge to get it started.
When you do, don't hesitate to keep me updated. I can offer you advice on many trivial things. For example when you get the chance to either inspect the barrel or poke it with a sword, ALWAYS poke it with a sword! Zidane jumping out clutching his ass is worth it!
Now that I think about it
Date: 2011-07-01 04:54 am (UTC)Hey, I might look like I know fancy stuff on LJ but I've been using the RTF editor—and recently Windows Live Writer when the Rich Text Editor was down—THAT has been a lifesaver.
I don't know the first thing about HTML or layouts. Unless you count things like bold and italic but I cheated: guessing which BBCODE was equal to HTML by switching [] with <>.
OH wow. This is sooo obviously a nod to the treasure chest in the Doma War Camp in FFVI where there's a stuck treasure chest. You get three choices:
Hit it
Kick it
Leave it
One of them winds up with you attracting the attention of a guard: if you're lucky you pull it open and hide inside.
Guard: Who's there?!
…meeeow…
Guard: Just a cat.
*Guard leaves, you jump out of the chest, and you loot the chest.*
