Character Battle QF2: Kain vs Vivi

[Flintlock]

This could be the only knock-out match without a character from Final Fantasy VII. It's a really great pairing, if you ask me. I know which one I'll choose, but I can completely understand the popularity of both characters and I think it could be pretty close. Kain won his group, but Vivi actually got more votes. He also got the most votes of all the remaining characters in the qualifying round (yes, more than Cloud), which is why his top "power bar" is full in the image below.

Who is your favourite of these two characters? Please post an explanation after you vote.

[Tennyo]

Voting for Vivi. Sorry. Squee factor trumps all.

Kain. I adore Kain.

He's a truly interesting character and I found that the reveal of what was truly going on with him was extremely well handled. Add in the fact that it was his own conflicted feelings towards his friends (Due to his own love for Rosa) and their relationship that end up being used against him to control him makes him a very sympathetic character, but I also found it honorable that he never tried to pass of the blame for the actions that he took while being controlled onto someone else. Even if his friends had forgiven him (And Cecil and Rosa did seem to have forgiven him), he held himself responsible for those actions.

Go Kain!

You asshat, how dare you put vivi and Kain together baaaw D; I love them both but but... I'll always vote for Kain over anyone but Celes. ;c

 

[Lex]

Vivi rules!!! I LOVE Vivi. He's got to be one of the most likeable characters in the entire series.

 

[wander]

Don't really give a fuck about these two. Kain had a nice design and I liked him, but he was no Cecil or Rydia. Felt indifferent to Vivi and he was as overpowered as black mages get.

Kain it is.

 

[Ghost X]

Vivi. What Prince Lex said.

 

[ForceStealer]

Vivi, as the best character in the entire series, gets my vote.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

Chalk another one up for Vivi. Dude is a straight up Woobie with enough raw power to shatter worlds. You can't go wrong with that.

 

[Tifabelle]

Voted for Kain. Who imo was more interesting than Cecil. I love Vivi too though.

I still haven't voted in the Cloud/Celes one. I'M SO TORN.

 

[Lord Noctis]

Well, I honestly don't care fr Kaint o much, whereas Vivi is tied fr my fav character from FFIX. Pretty easy to guess who my vote is for.

 

[Geostigma]

Touch choice is tough.

But as said earlier, Kain is no Cecil.
And vivi is just Op, so i vote for the little mage

 

[Celes Chere]

vote celes or we aren't friends anymore kripey

 

[Flintlock]

Updated the original post with the image.

Definitely Kain. I like strong characters, and I don't think Vivi is one. I find Vivi a bit pathetic to be honest. He is sweet yes, but maybe too much so. Kain is more straight forward and handsom. I think the fact that he is jealous of Cecil makes me identify with him more and feel sympathy towards him. As with Vivi I'm more *slapslapslap* GET OVER IT!

I also like dark characters, that's why Kain.

 

[Captain Jack Harkness]

mmm.. i didn't voted yet.
i love kain, but i didn't played IX, so (to avoid the grumbles in the last QF) i'll wait to vote.
furthermore, the winner will faces Cloud, so should win a very popular character, if not surely Cloud would win.

 

[AvecAloes]

Vivi. Always Vivi.

 

[Roger]

Vivi for me.

 

[Splintered]

Vivi definitely. He's an amazing character with an amazing arc, never fails to blow me away when I play IX.

Also, I want to hug him forever

 

[Rapunzel]

Vivi gets my vote.

 

[Mantichorus]

I've kinda lost count of how many times I've mentioned my love for FFIX during these polls...

Vivi.

 

[cootycooty_23]

I had to vote for Kain just for the sake that I don't like Vivi.

 

[Ghost X]

^This is a most unfortunate set of circumstances.
