[Crystallis]

Originator: Videospirit


Name: The Minstrel
Origin: Romancing SaGa series
Breakdown: He seems to be some sort of mystical and powerful bard.

Name: Edward Chris von Muir
Origin: Final Fantasy IV
Breakdown: Edward is a Bard, and is able to use Bardsong to sing to enemies. Sing randomly inflicts a status ailment on an opponent. Edward also has Salve, which splits a Potion among the party, and Hide, which allows him to be protected against all attacks, however he cannot do anything while hiding. Edward automatically hides when he is low on HP.

So The Minstrel gets the new record for the most difficult person to find information on for a Fantasy Battle. I guess the bonus is I learned how to use the Youtube feature for Proboards.

As for the fight, I'm going to put my money on Lenne. Final Fantasy has a lot of ways to protect from status effects such as mind control, Edward sucks, I don't know much about the Minstrel... and I don't know much about Lenne either but she can summon stuff, and FF summons are tough.

How many battles you have left in stock Crusty?

[Crystallis]

Just the battle royale, which I've been avoiding.

I always figured that The Ministrel was also The Poet from Romancing Saga 3. I think the graphic from the SNES version of RS1 seems to confirm this theory.

That being said, The Poet, all the way!

[Videospirit]

He's also the guy telling the story in romancing saga 2.

Which reminds me, didn't tidus past tense monologue defeat tidus at one point in a fantasy battle? Narrators kick ass?

Tidus fought his own past tense monologue in the 2004 Tournament for my site, which predated the Fantasy Battles. You remember incorrectly, however - Tidus won that fight.

The past tense monologue still did do pretty damn well in the tournament for a disembodied voice, though.

[Videospirit]

Ahh yes, I seem to recall some pink faction pulling strings behind the scenes to manipulate the results of that tournament. I did not oppose them for the most part until the very end though, because I too was attempting to manipulate the results to get to such gem fights as Tidus vs. Tidus' Past Tense monologue to occur.

You should do another one of those tournaments.

Yes, pink led a sizable voting bloc which was able to control the outcome of a good many matches.

Yeah, pretty much everyone on the Hideout was rooting for that fight to happen.

Yeah, that's not going to happen.

[Pink]

Ah, truly one of my finer moments, manipulating the tournament to end with felix winning by exploding moogles.

...felix did win by exploding moogles right?

Felix did use exploding moogles during the fight, however, he ultimately won through use of a nuclear weapon.

[Pink]

Oh right. I knew there was something I hooked him up with that I had to submit to a memory wipe in order to complete the order.

Those arabs, so overcautious.

You didn't give Felix the nuke. He got that back in the game he was originally from (a brief, strange game my siblings and I made on RPG Maker). He got it after beating the final boss but it wasn't actually used for anything in the game.

[Crystallis]

The Minstrel wins.

[Pink]

...*looks at what Crys said.*
*Looks at poll results*

Ummm...sorry, who wins?

[Videospirit]

In before the Reality rewrite to clear crusty of blame!
