KHV's Top 10 #4

KHV's Top 10 - #4

Hello to all loyal and newly joined members. I'm Krowley; one half of the news group team on this lovely site you visit. Due to the shortage on recent news, the staff has permitted me to start up a new little project that everyone can take part in! "KHV's Top 10" is a biweekly countdown of members' top 10 choices regarding subjects related to kingdom hearts. The subject in question can vary from characters, places, objects, etc. As for how the subject if decided upon, this could be based off recent Kingdom Hearts News or popular requests. (If anyone has a favored topic, feel free to suggest one!)

Instead of hearing staff's boring opinion, members are able to chip in their own ranked selections that will be tallied and averaged at the end of the time frame. At this time, either Mike, or myself will post a new topic after the previous results have been announced. That's right, Mike has graciously accepted to take part in this now, dual project. We will each by doing 1 countdown per month so there is always a chance to have your opinion heard!

Every two weeks, an announcement thread will be set up to reveal the topic for those two weeks. If you wish to have your say, simply send your own top 10 picks via Personal Conversation to the Reporter who is currently hosting. Your choices should be ranked 1-10 (1 being the top pick) and must be sent privately, not posted in this thread. Why send it privately, you ask? This is to keep things anonymous and more anticipated instead of easily predicted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

This week's segment is dedicated to past worlds seen in the series. Anything from the 2002 game to Dream Drop distance is up for selection.​
NOTE: Worlds vary in their differences, and certain exceptions (Prankster's Paradise/Monstro, Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden) count as separate worlds due to their level structure and design.​

KHV's Top 10
~Most Wanted Final Fantasy Cameos~
Final Fantasy has delivered us many characters from the Final Fantasy Franchise, and there are still many more that could make an appearance. the members of KHV have spoken with many they had in mind, which included the sent in picks of over 50 characters. (and this was just from 13 people) Many of our favorites have already been inducted into the Kingdom Hearts series, but which characters outweigh the rest and deserve to be introduced? Here's the forums Top 10 picks to that answer.

#10) Terra
(Final Fantasy VI)
Votes: 4
Average Ranking: 7.0
Terra Branford is a mysterious young woman. Like the nobodies of the Kingdom Hearts series, she starts off emotionless, and yearns to uncover more about her origins. Raised as a weapon of destruction, she presented herself as easily scared and confused. It isn't until later on, where she gains more assertiveness and manages to discover her true past. If she were to appear into the series, she wouldn't be the first teenager to be used by adults.​

#9) Vanille
(Final fantasy XIII)
Votes: 4
Average Ranking: 6.3
Oerba Dia vanille is a bubbly and kind character. She remains upbeat despite her hardship-filled past and is often very emotional at times. Yet despite this, she is optimistic and tries to find a silver lining even in the most grim situations. With these qualities, I could definitely see her in a Disney series like kingdom Hearts. Girl also knows how to accessorize. Look at all of those trinkets she wears!​

#8) Laguna
(Final Fantasy VIII)
Votes: 4
Average Ranking: 3.0
Laguna is a laid back, but kind-hearted individual. He is your typical lovable protagonist, but not without his quirks. He gets nervous around women and at times, can't get his wording right. His weapon of choice is a machine gun as well as other infantry related arsenal. He came close to making this list, and wouldn't need to be if he was placed in Birth by Sleep. For those who do not know, Laguna was originally planned to be in charge of the PSP game's Mirage arena. This was cancelled as to not interfere with his appearance in Dissidia 012.

#7) Genesis
(Final fantasy VII - Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus)
Votes: 5
Average Ranking: 4.0
Genesis Rhapsodos is the main antagonist in Final Fantasy 7 - Crisis Core. This character derives from SOLDIER, and is another victim of the Jenova Project; a series of experiments aimed at creating a human hybrid with the alien creature Jenova. throughout out his arc in the PSP game, he finds obsession in a famous poem called LOVELESS as he believes himself, Angeal and Sephiroth to be the poem's protagonists. Genesis is actually based off the real life musician Gackt.​

#6) Zidane
(Final Fantasy IX)
Votes: 6
Average Ranking: 6.5
Zidane Tribal is similar to Sora when it comes to making friends. He jumps at the chance to find allies and helps those in need regardless of the situation. Odd, since he's a thief, but it's those qualities that got him from kidnapping a princess to unfolding events that would lead him on a quest to protect the planet. As a thief, he uses short swords and daggers when fighting opponents, yet rarely uses his tail. Sora's original design actually reminded me of Zidane. A lovable little scamp, he would make a fine addition to all the mischief makers of the series.​

#5) Fang
(Final Fantasy XIII)
Votes: 6
Average Ranking: 5.5
Oerba Yun Fang is a tall woman who is a very capable fighter who don't need no man. A very stubborn lady, Fang hates backing down and strongly believes in the power of luck. Most of Final Fantasy XIII, she works on her own personal agenda in protecting Vanille from a terrible fate. Wielding a double bladed spear, I wouldn't mind seeing this character manhandle the heartless and show the keybladers how it's done. To those who didn't know... she was originally designed to be a man.​
[​IMG]
#4) Gilgamesh
(Final Fantasy I, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, XI, XII, XIII, Type 0)
Votes: 6
Average Ranking: 5.2
A recurring character in the Final Fantasy series, Gilgamesh has been on both sides of the good and evil spectrum. While his role is often minor, Gilgamesh is the most recurring character in the franchise and often serves as a persistently comical boss. These appearances often associate him as a traveling sword collector on the hunt for the legendary sword; Excalibur. As a blade collector, how could this man not appear in the Kingdom Hearts series yet? Many others have sought the keyblade's power, it's only a matter of time before this Genji suited character stalk his way into the series.​
[​IMG]
#3) Vincent
(Final Fantasy VII, Dirge of Cerberus)
Votes: 7
Average Ranking: 5.6
Vincent Valentine is an optional party member from Final Fantasy VII. This alluring undead man is yet another victim of Professor Hojo's experimentation, which allows him to shapeshift and use abilities in the series. A gun wielder, his dark and brooding personality has made him one of the most universally adored characters in the Final fantasy franchise. His character design is well praised and his change over the course of the series is interesting as well. If this character does show up, I hope it's somewhere spooky or with a macabre-like atmosphere.​
[​IMG]
#2) Kefka
(Final Fantasy VI)
Votes: 8
Average Ranking: 5.9
This psycho clown's antagonistic appraise is matched only by Sephiroth. Kefka Palazzo is short tempered, loud, destructive, and a complete sociopath, and it's those traits that make him likeable. While past villains, are serious, cold, and distant, Kefka shows his humorous side when dishing out on the protagonists. Albeit dark humor, but when that cackle begins, I just find myself very intrigued. Where they would fit this character, I'm not sure, but I do hope fans find him eventually.​

#1) Lightning
(Final Fantasy XIII)
Votes: 11
Average Ranking: 4.8
Is anyone really surprised? As the franchise's second head female protagonist (first being Terra) Lightning has made a name for herself and has become one of the most iconic characters. Heading into her 3rd installment of the FFXIII series, she continues to be, in the words of Misty, the Final Fantasy flagship character. Which is hillarious, since her character was originally meant to be flirtatious and have more sex appeal! (Oh, early development...) I'm sure many fans who wished to see her added to the series, noted a "leaked" picture of Lightning carrying a struggle bat. A fake article said she would appear in Kingdom Hearts 3D, but this was confirmed as a hoax when the artist released her step by step prank. So whether you love her for her allure, attitude, or pink hair, Claire "Lightning" Farron has received the admiration of many and made the top of this list.​

Community Happy New Years!
Hey everyone, this may be a bit late at night for most (and the next day for some), but just want to pop by and wish you all a hearty welcome into the new year! It's pretty safe to say the site has gone through a lot the past year, between the Forum Rearrange, lots of new and old faces popping up, and the change from vBulletin to XenForo. But even through all of that, we made it to a brand new year. What it holds for us is pretty much anyone's guess, but I'm confident that we'll make the best of it, and have a n even greater year together (even without KH3).

Anyway, if you're wondering about those Resolutions we did, they've been collected and compiled! As an addition (and because I wanted to try out the new system for it), they're in a Prezi for you to zoom in and look at! The purpose was for you and others to see what kind of resolutions floating around the site, and encourage each other and hopefully motivate yourself to fulfilling them.




In addition, we also have upcoming announcements for events and so on that will be happening in the New Year (as we know currently):
