Fire Emblem 9, and a bunch of Forgotten Warriors. I realize that the voting format isn't conducive to ranking a bunch of single characters from random different games, but I nevertheless think it's a good idea. If there's only one or two characters ranked from a game, there's no risk of it becoming tiresome, and a low number of writers can be worked around better.
One comment/caveat on FE9: I'm not sure if we want to call it a FE9/10 dual rank, but characters should be ranked assuming their best form, because some people will vote on the FE10 form. In other words, if Elincia is ranked, I know her FE10 form is much better, and she should be ranked as a Heavy or whatever, not a Light. Allegedly Tibran is a Godlike in FE10, so if he's ranked (which, based on FE9 alone, I'd be against), I'd be in favor of ranking him off of that as well, etc.
Miniature Forgotten Warrior ranks I'd be in favor of:
Xenosaga III: Yes, obligatory, been over this. Sew up any confusion about legal forms, re-rank Jin, and rank one or two characters. Allen might be best saved for NR but is a fun joke light, and Voyager / T-elos are options among the bosses.
FF3DS: Yes, form split issues ahoy, but FF3 White Mage did okay in NR if I recall correctly. Cloud of Darkness I'd be slightly queasy about... it's a high Godlike from an obscure game, which can cause weird things, and Bad Breath is a move that doesn't translate to the DL at all like how it works in game. (In game, it's a 100% guaranteed to be useless move, because they show you the Cloud has it in a play fight, then explicitly hand you 4 Ribbons.) It's also pretty plotless. I guess... Xande? He is the big villain through most of the game, even if his boss fight is pretty easy (though still translates better to the DL than he really is in game).
Final Fantasy XII: Larsa translates quite well to the DL and actually has character. I'm solidly in favor of ranking him. Reddas is also rankable, though he's minorly headachey depending on how much you hold the fact that he can't self-buff vs. characters who can against him. Difference between his HP being "below average" and "horrible" there. Vossler... always wants his boss form, and FF12 bosses all translate way too well to the DL due to "rounds" flying by in-game. An interesting Godlike dueler, but he's certainly not a Godlike fight in game, so a bad rank. Reks... no. It only had one match in NR as best I can tell, and that was against Rivieria (??), so not much of a sample set to work with, but the sales were huge. So at least playership would probably be decent for the game, though I'm told the internal playership is awful. But again... it's only 1-2 ranks.
I'll cast my actual second vote for whichever one of these three ideas has the most support from others. Edit: Which is currently none of them. I'll say FF12 for now as the one vote crying in the wilderness, just because it's the one that's most likely to be a solid votedraw.
