Announcing the FINAL FANTASY XI 11th Vana'versary NPC Popularity Contest!

Shocking. Shantotto shouldn't have even been allowed in the running

Shocking. Shantotto shouldn't have even been allowed in the running

Implying Shantotto doesn't have a curse wand up the nose of the developers any time this sort of contest is announced.

But yes, I wish they'd have something for the SECOND choice, considering that laughing black mage bitch gets the top vote every time anyone goes "Do you like (insert type) NPC?".

[Yubar]

What do people even like about her? She's just a gigantic bitch.

[Khajit]

Shantotto is amusing but I seriously dont get the splooging the JP do over her barring various Japanese are pedophile jokes.

[dasva]

Maybe that's exactly why!

[Prothescar]

I mean, the second best should get something too. Shantotto already has her grubby, poor character developed paws in every single expansion so far as well as her own questlines and mini expansion. She doesn't need more

[Fwahm]

Shantotto wasn't in Chains of Promathia, was she? I don't remember her. Don't think she was in Zilart, either. Nor Adoulin so far!

iirc she was involved in the part where the taru are trying to find there father

[Bigsyke]

Zadlon would have been fantastic.

[Shenrien]

I'm rather upset with this, I would have liked any other NPC other than shantotto -_-;.

[Kyte]

I think I would have taken fucking President Karst over her.

[Azat]

Adventures of Karst and his pornstache

[Spira]

she's in the cutscene where Prishe reveals the magicite embedded in her chest to the others.

srsly tho. Shantotto is in more storylines than any other NPC in the entire game. Windy rank, CoP, ToAU, WotG (at least for Windy quest leg), AMK, ASA... not to mention BLM AF.
a far second would be Aldo and he's only in like 4. Vanilla, Zilart, ACP and ASA.

i do agree Shantotto shouldn't have been allowed to run. Or at least have been disregarded.

edit: also dafuq. Joachim got 10th?

[Hitou]

Don't forget she's in dissidea and theatrythm as the FFXI rep... Honestly I'm tired of her being shoved down our throats. What was the point of a popularity contest if we're just going to get a quest/questline that probably would have happened anyway? At least Lehko made top 30 and my vote wasn't a complete waste.

[Ophannus]

Why is she popular to JPs anyway? She doesn't speak in rhymes in JP version at all.

There's so many amazing NPCs in this game that deserve fleshed out stories...

Zeid, Lion, Erpalacion, Curilla

[Seha]

Ew Lion...

[Kyte]

Well sometimes when a man loves a woman, he prefers that woman to wear pigtails and silly robes. And sometimes that woman is a good bit smaller than he is, has a girlish laugh, and maybe hasn't aged quite like the rest of us.

[InspectorGadget]

I'm more surprised that emo wannabe Samurai man-bitch Tenzen got 9th. He's one of my least liked.

[Kohan]

I personally am surprised as well, to be honest. I'd have to try hard to find a reason to consider him interesting. He's generic as it gets.

[Fwahm]

He's not particularly interesting, but I imagine a number of people voting for him were hoping for information on Phoenix.
