I know right.
Why doesn't gamefaqs put out a rule of a "no character from last year" to be entered.
Get rid of Mario, Cloud, Sephiroth, Samus . . . they are always used in these silly character battles.
They may be popular and I have nothing against them, but there are far too many repeats from years past.
Also, Crono and Marle DID make it which I think is just awesome. We the Compendium have intervened. Great job to everyone who voted for their respectful characters from the series. It's an honor to see, finally, one of the greatest RPGs and game of all time to be recognized in this online event.
I for one am proud of what we have accomplished. It wasn't just the Compendium though, we may have played a major role, but there are still some fans out there who respect the game like we do, that haven't found us yet, who also played a major role in determining the candidates of this character battle.
Now that is awesome.
