No reaction gif compares to my groan on seeing the winner of NPC popularity contest

[Edyth]

As if 29+ quests/missions weren't enough, as if an entire mission add-on weren't enough, as if an NM fight against two of the b@!#% weren't enough, as if an undeserved appearances in Dissidia, Duodecim, and Theatrhythm weren't enough, as if the infestation of Treasures of Aht Urhgan and Wings of the Goddess weren't enough, people want more @^!@##%! Shantotto.

I'm utterly disappointed. I couldn't be more disappointed. There is no NPC I wouldn't prefer over Shantotto at this point. I didn't loathe her completely until now that she ruined the possible return of characters like Lion and Lilisette. I would rather have a quest revolving around Proud Beard, Delivery Specialist, or Cruor Prospector.

[Deifact]

I don't know why people like her... she is the most boring, rude, unfashionable NPC around. She looks like she is wearing a cushion cover from the 1950's. And all she does is lean back and laugh at everything...

You know who I want more of? Mayakov!

[Rekin]

Prishe didn't win, boo. No reason to ever return.

[Dragoy]

What I'm worried about is the Fist Place.

Oopsies!

(Seriously, the amount of spelling mistakes in official articles has been quite something lately, and this one is an image even! That is quite something. Even the dialogue they were given on the page got sprinkled with oops. How does one keep their job like that, one might wonder.)

I guess I don't really have anything personal against Shantotto, but she certainly is far from my favourite character(s). She probably rigged the contest! Yes.

Prishe's comment sure is rather... descriptive... but anyblue! There definitely are a lot of other characters that I would put higher (like Lion, for special reasons). There are also many that are not on the list at all, and I wonder if they're simply unknown to most of the people, which wouldn't be a surprise, since most(?) care for only the items and whatnots that they can get out of them.

I guess the contest was a fun idea. A thing it was, but details such as simple grammar mistakes really make me question if I should care at all if they don't. :\

Also, Lion spoilers.

[OmnysValefor]

Lilsette, please!

[Zarchery]

Shantotto is the best! I like her caustic, "better than you" attitude and I love the way she speaks in rhyming couplets. But what I really want to see is Shantotto vs. Karababa. Funny that you never see those two in the same place at the same time.

[Siviard]

I'm slightly disappointed that Shantotto got the victory. My vote was for Prishe, my 2nd choice was Shantotto.

[scaevola]

Zauko #1.

These goddamn lamps aren't going to light themselves!


(oh wait)

[Tohihroyu]

I think by now we should know whos votes are more "powerful" :/ from what I saw on the NA/EU side I thought/hoped Tenzen would win.

[FaeQueenCory]

LMAO!
I just can not comprehend...
why any other outcome would be expected...
But it's not like the world will end...
Because Shantotto's #1 place will never be rejected.

(Shantotto will ALWAYS be the #1 favorite and Prishe will ALWAYS be #2. The massive appeal across both oceans of the QueenB. and the Tsundere is insurmountable. Expecting anything else... was just foolishness on your part.
The contest was done the moment Shantotto and Prishe were on the ballot.
I too voted like Siviard above... but I was under no delusion that there could have been any other outcome than this.)
