My top 16 ladies from the Final Fantasy game series (excluding the spin-offs and MMOs). As you can see, the first round was a rather cum-soaked affair, but the 8 ladies moving on may have a better chance to shine in the next round.

if you have a vote for someone who you wish to see move on, or a theme you want to see in the top 8, feel free to post it. Any comments will be considered alongside my own personal preferences and capabilities. For now, here are the top 16 ladies from Final Fantasy, listed from oldest games to newest:

1. Rosa Farrel (FF4)
2. Rydia (FF4)
3. Barbariccia (FF4)
4. Celes Chere (FF6)
5. Tifa Lockhart (FF7)
6. Aerith Gainsborough (FF7)
7. Rinoa Heartilly (FF8)
8. Selphie Tilmitt (FF8)
9. Quistis Trepe (FF8)
10. Lulu (FF10)
11. Rikku (FF10)
12. Fran (FF12)
13. Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca (FF12)
14. Penelo (FF12)
15. Oerba Dia Vanille (FF13)
16. Cindy Aurum (FF15)

There were definitely some fine runners ups like Jessie and Scarlet from FF7, Garnet from FF9, Yuna from FF10, or Lunafreya and Iris from FF15. But I did need to narrow it down eventually. So apologies if your waifu isn't here.
