[agent0042]

Red XIII & Bugenhagen
Zell & Seifer
Zidane & Garnet (If I'm not mistaken, neither character has been in any edition of the race.)
Brother & Buddy
Basch & Reks
Larsa & Vayne
Snow & Serah



P.S.: Nice work on the banner for this section.

[Bob]

Garnet has been (with Brahne). And Zell has already raced with Ma.

And thanks! I'm gonna do banners for other sections, too, but I don't have the time for now. This was kind of a trial.

I like the lists though! If anybody else wants to contribute, I'm all ears! I'm not exactly sure just yet how many openings there will be for next season. We shall see!

[agent0042]

Thanks! Of the ones I posted, the one I feel strongest about is Brother & Buddy. Those two are like two peas in a pod, even if they don't always want to admit it. And if not Zidane with Garnet, then maybe with Kuja? I just kinda feel like Zidane has to be on the race. Cloud? Check. Squall? Check. Tidus? Check. Vaan? Check. Well, let no cloud nor squall hinder us! It just doesn't seem right for Zidane not have been on.

[Bob]

Heh, true. I was really close to having a Zidane/Blank for the current season, but decided I liked Marcus better, since he and Blank are total BFFs.

[agent0042]

That makes sense. Blank and Marcus are brothers in all but names.

Oh, and if we're talking Final Fantasy XIII teams, I'd rather see Sazh & Dajh, but I'm just not sure if you'd want a kid like Dajh on the race. Actually, Lightning's the one that hasn't been done that I'd most like to see from that game, but I just can't think who she would be paired with. Snow, maybe, I suppose. They are "related" by engagement, or marriage, if it's canon that Snow & Serah got married after Final Fantasy XIII.

[Bob]

I do enjoy Sazh quite a bit, but yeah, Dajh is too young, so I wouldn't use him. There are a few from FF13 that I'd like to use, but luckily for me, not many. So it doesn't matter much that AFFR is almost done in terms of new teams. The cast of that game is Light, Snow, Hope, Sazh, Fang, Vanille, Serah, uhhhh... Bartandelus (sp?), Jihl, Rosch...bunch of little bitty minor characters, really. The main six, Serah, and Barty are the only real cast to that game. Not to say I wouldn't use minor characters (I DID use Ma Dincht...), but there aren't many people that I'd feel very "aww, too bad they never got to race."

[agent0042]

It's Barthandelus, but you were close. The only other ones I can think of as potential candidates would be Cid Raines and Rygdea.

[Bob]

Yeah... Anyway, very small cast of characters, so there aren't many potential teams from there anyway.

Biggs and Wedge - Final Fantasy VIII

"What's below lieutenant?"

[Dale]

Oh, these are for new teams. I thought these were for old teams who'd appeared before.

I'm out, then.

[agent0042]

Well, the topic title only says "Team Ideas," so I suppose if you wanted to, you could discuss ideas for returning teams as well. Or, you could start a new topic about it.

[Dale]

If we can discuss returning teams, as well, I'd like to see any of the following back.

From season one:

Jenova & Sephiroth (you can't just go without the original first-outs -- the first team EVER eliminated from the show)
Tifa & Paine (competent, but screwed by bad luck at a Roadblock and a dirty trick)
Strago & Relm (screwed badly by Auron & Jecht, but kind of screwed themselves by trusting them; also want to see them try and get by without Bob deliberately trying to eliminate them each leg like he did in season one)
Edgar & Sabin (strong team who ran a solid race till that fateful Roadblock in the SoE verse)

From season two:

Barret & Dyne (I think they could've been fun in season two)
Cid & Celes (just to see if they can be interesting a second go-round; if not, cut them early again)
Cecil & Rosa (definitely want to see more "crazy dark side emerging" moments)
Brahne & Garnet (surprisingly more solid of a team than met the eye, at least until Garnet screwed the pooch at the Underworld Roadblock by forcing Brahne to do it)

From season three:

Kiros & Ward (already confirmed to be back, but I'm saying it, anyway, because that mid-leg elimination twist, while interesting, was also crap because it came so early)
Malak & Rafa (sort of as a maybe since we would need a villain in Malak)
Celia & Lede (other candidates for the villain team role)

[Dale]

All right. Bob all but confirmed to me via AIM that next season will just be another all-new cast. So knowing this, I want to throw in more suggestions, in case there still have yet to be some finalized choices. Although the only ones I have are from 8, 10, 12, and 13:

Quistis & Xu: Friends (wrote a race on another site and used them, but would be interested in seeing Bob's take on them)
Cid & Edea: Married 20 Years (see above)
Laguna & Ellone: Guardian/Ward (they had a very tight, close bond in 8, and why Bob still hasn't capitalized on that, I don't know)
Seymour & Tromell: Ma(e)ster/Advisor
Cid & Brother: Father/Son (I think this should've been a green light rather than a reject)
Gatta & Luzzu: Crusaders (see Quistis & Xu)
O'aka & Wantz: Brothers (I actually imagine they'd be fun, and we need some accented racers!)
Jote & Mjrn: Sisters (see Quistis & Xu)
Vayne & Larsa: Brothers (I think this would be interesting)
Cyd & Rygdea: Cavalrymen (for lack of a better relationship term)
Fang & Vanille: Girlfriends (see Quistis & Xu, and I don't care what is or isn't implied! They are to me, got that?! They are to me!)
Serah with either Lightning or Snow (I think either combination would make sense)

Also, maybe some of the previous rejects could be in consideration?
