Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Level 28 Sabin with a pain of hero rings and phantom rush sure makes quick work of bosses (since he's doing 9999 to targets). I wasn't expecting to beat the dragon in Narshe on my first try with a team including a level 22 Mog, let alone that quickly. I'd also forgotten just how bad Meteor's damage is for its cost, especially when Ultima only costs a bit more MP and hits significantly harder.

Took a bunch of retries to kill the samurai soul for the master scroll since it could OHKO everyone except sabin if it used any ninja scrolls, and even Sabin still took nearly 1k damage from most of those despite having a force shield on.

I think Cleretic might be Black Mage, folks.

Cleretic's made some bad posts in the past but even they don't deserve to be compared to something as awful as 8-bit theater.

You can break the game in so many ways that are never required and do more damage then genji gloves, or offering/genji gloves ever will.

The right setup results in 9999x8 damage, or close to it if you're juggling valiant+atma instead of dual atma weapons (only viable in the last fight in this version I'd guess).

Though no fight can do much of anything against a team of 4 ultima+quick casters except die quickly.

Isn’t that how it’s supposed to work, since he naturally only has a 50% chance of doing the actual rage ability? Or am I missing something?

Nope, Gau doesn't Rage in auto battle unless you do it for him before setting Auto.

The enemy "Chaser" has resulted in a softlock for me every time I've encountered it on the Veldt. It's annoying because when it dies, it's supposed to spawn enemies that teach multiple lores. A patch would be nice.

Yahoo! probably also has a different demographic than whatever other magazines usually do these polls. Like, you'll probably see a major difference of FF rankings between sites like IGN and GameFAQs.

Gilgamesh is Butz’s dad, tainted by the dark powers of Exdeath. While he doesn’t remember who he once was, Gilgamesh still felt respect, admiration, even love for Butz. Only by sacrificing himself was he freed from his prison and could stand against Exdeath once again.

However, before his soul was able to go and help Butz in his fight against Exdeath it transcended space and time and was slowly purified by Gilgamesh’s trials across the final fantasies, making Gilgamesh the canon Dad of Light

The big one from last year was from Japan's national broadcaster and had nearly half a million submissions. I consider that one much more credible because of that last one, not only does Yahoo Japan have a different demographic (although I'd have no idea how legit Yahoo are in Japan) but it was also much smaller, meaning that it'd be easier for a more localized and dedicated fanbase to skew it.

Mandoric

Japanese Yahoo is more relevant than the US version (being basically Softbank paying for the naming rights insulated it from the scavenging that occured to the US side), but it's definitely been primarily about the auctions for a long time now--the big prestige advertising, naming rights to the Fukuoka baseball stadium, transitioned from "Yahoo Dome" to "Yahoo Auctions Dome" in 2013 (and is now Paypay Dome, for Softbank's Paypal/Alipay competitor.)

The NHK ranking is definitely gonna be more indicative of the public at large.
