 So yeah

I'm starting this meme thing.  That's right--RAI'S ON THE BANDWAGON.  For the next thirty days I will try to offer a coherent response to the questions!  And probably fail miserably, since I tend to talk in circles when I get excited.  (...blog in circles???)

So, here we go:  Choosin' a Faction!




I actually found myself torn with this one. We’re supposed to be rooting for Team Cosmos, since they’re the Good Guys (TM), and Team Chaos is comprised of obvious Bad Guys (TM) like Garland, and Kefka, and the Cloud of—

But wait…if I remember right, the Cloud of Darkness is a being that comes into existence when there’s an oversaturation of the Light element, bringing the balance back… Though technically she/it is an antagonist, in the mythos of the game, she/it is a force of nature itself and can no more be eradicated wholly than time itself. And Shantotto is Straight Up Nuts, terrifying most of Team Cosmos in the first game.


Character Alignment as a deciding factor is out, then… Looks like I just have to go with my gut.


And the answer is…


TEAM COSMOS.

[I cannot draw, so imagine there is a lovely photo of the goddess right here.]


No, it’s not because of the numbers of heroes, or because of their attractiveness levels (Frankly, if THAT was the deciding factor, I think Team Chaos would have one solely on the merits of PalaMecia). Rather, it is because of what they represent: the chance for the conflicts to be abated, so that everyone can realize their dreams in peace. Members of Team Chaos have their own, yes, but they tend to involve the destruction of others’ dreams in the process.


…then again for Team Cosmos to win, Team CHAOS must be stopped from realizing their goals…


Look, don’t overthink it, mmkay?

You can't pick both because mama troll won't have you kids being spoilt now, ya hear!?

"or because of their attractiveness levels (Frankly, if THAT was the deciding factor, I think Team Chaos would have one solely on the merits of PalaMecia"

Pfft. Cosmos could throw her entire bishi line-up at Team Chaos but it wouldn't make any difference once Chaos called out thongboy. Having Seph, CoD and Palamecia (and depending on the cycle Jecht or Cloud, Tidus and Terra) is just some much needed aesthetic overkill.

Team Chaos proabably has the biggest number of problems alignment wise. I mean even after the huge defection that occured in 012 they've still got problems in the next cycle. Then in 013 they've got 3 guys on their side who aren't evil and are only participating because either (a) they're planning an uprising and need to keep up the facade (b) they have no clue what's going on and just assume this is all fun and games (c) they planned an uprising, got caught out and then the demon clown mind raped them into OOC disorder. (Kefka's an awesome bastard...)

TEAM CHAOS: There's no such thing as consent.

That should so be their motto.

"Look, don’t overthink it, mmkay?"

LOL! You thought so much about your answer! The moment I saw the question I just thought "Well, that would be Cosmos, because they have all the sparklies, obviously" but then I read your answer and was all "@.@ head...hurts..."

I apologise for making your head head but if you assume this is me thinking about my answer...hoo boy. I'm still working on my FF Meme Day 14: Favourite Male Final Fantasy character entry and by that I mean so far I've posted 3 giant entries dedicated to analysing Kuja and yet I'm still not done yet due to needing to cover Dissidia!

But if I had to give the short answer to choosing Team Chaos I'd say because they have magnificent bastards. And are all legal. (Yes, even the demon tree and clown are in my fanon villain sandwhich--they all are!)

She's right. No one passes up Exdeath's magnificent WOOD.

Except Bartz. Silly boy. You'd have thought the demon tree would've been perfect for him since he likes sappy stuff so much! *is shot*

Oh, dear! I replied to YOUR comment, insted of the entry! I'm sorry! *facepalm* I feel so dumb now...
That sounds really interesting! I really like Kuja, despite not doing many fanworks with him.

Magnificen bastards, yessss, they're yummy XD And who say Kefka isn't hot? I find him quite hot in fact! Has a certain charm, you know XD

Well...

She does have a point. While adorable, that Onion Kid is still a Cute Shotaro Boy, (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteShotaroBoy) and that isn't to everyone's tastes.

I'd still like to take him home and give him many bowls of sugary cereal, though.

But then WoL would come barging in and DESTROY YOU for corrupting the boy with cereal...actually, wait. That sounds like the perfect way to lure WoL in. LET'S GET THE CEREAL AND THE KID RIGHT AWAY!

I started off as "TEAM COSMOS CUZ THEY'RE HAWT." Then I thought to myself, "I kinda wanna make sense and sound at least liek a SENSIBLE fangirl." And so I analyzed it...and then OVER analyzed it...

Besides, Team Chaos has some sparklies! Have you SEEN Mateus? XD And Kuja. He WIELDS sparklies, for Pete's sake. XD

What about Sexyroth and his sparkly light attack? (Or his Ex Burst sparklies! Mat and Kuj aren't the only guys who are FABULOUUUUUUUSSS! on Team Chaos)

Yeah, but Team Cosmos has Mr. Sparkly, can't let that pass. And Ms Sparkly Rose Petals. They must make Mat SO jealous. And that without counting Bartz sparkly stars (which I <3 with all my <3)
