Most of the nation is crazed about their fantasy football picks.

Gamers are organizing their Final Fantasy Football selections.

Final Fantasy, the more than 20-year-old video game franchise, provides more than enough characters and attributes to warrant an official fantasy football selection. There is even a couple Wiki "Uncyclopedia" entries on the topic, so you know it's legit.

Over the next week VGF will showcase the best picks for the ultimate Final Fantasy Football team taken primarily from the franchise's most recent endeavors. Who's your pick?

Previous picks:

Running Back - Zidane Tribal

Tight End - Cecil Harvey

Kicker - Tidus

Fullback - Barret Wallace

Quarterback - Cloud Strife

Wide Receivers - Sephiroth, Squall Leonhart, Tifa Lockhart

Cheerleaders
Rikku, Oerba Dia Vanille, Yuffie Kisaragi
Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy VII


At the risk of sounding or seeming overly sexist there is a reason here. Any Final Fantasy fan could tell you that recent installments of the series have nearly all featured some sort of bubbly and cheerful female character. As you can see they try to evenly space these "girlie girls," but they are near copies of each other and the perfect (and very cheerful) support for your team on the field.

Wide Receivers
Sephiroth, Squall Leonhart, Tifa Lockhart
Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII


Wide receivers have to be strong, agile and accurate. Final Fantasy villain champion Sephiroth, Final Fantasy VII hero Squall Leonhart and one-third of the Final Fantasy VII love triangle, Tifa Lockhart, represent all three qualities. Indeed, there are other Final Fantasy heroes that could fill this role such as, Firion or the Hero of Light, could easily fill in at times. These particular may have the best chemistry with quarterback Cloud Strife (ok, maybe not Sephiroth). Look for these heroes on the Final Fantasy Football field soaring and crushing defenders.

Quarterback
Cloud Strife
Final Fantasy VII

The unlikely leader of Final Fantasy VII is a noble pick for perhaps the most important player on the field. The notorious Final Fantasy fanboy favorite, Cloud Strife does possess quite a bit of leadership skills. Remember Cloud's coordinated assault against Jenova and Sephiroth in the Northern Crater. Besides, if he can wield that big of a sword with any accuracy, I'm sure he can throw a football.

Fullback
Barret Wallace
Final Fantasy VII

Like the running back, the fullback can run the football. However, the fullback doesn't rely so much on speed as he does on power. Why not through a machine arm wielding ally in the fray? Barret has the lethal force and sheer strength to rip apart any defensive line.

Final Fantasy Football: Kicker - Tidus

Tight End - Cecil Harvey

Kicker
Tidus
Final Fantasy X

The blitzball star and protagonist of Final Fantasy X is one of the few Final Fantasy characters with experience in professional sports. However, his skills would be best served as a kicker of any fantasy football team. This being because blitzball is a game primarily played using your feet to score. I'm sure those skills are transferable out of water and on the turf.

Tight End
Cecil Harvey
Final Fantasy IV

The tight end position is one of the most versatile on the field. Often the last man on the offensive line, the tight end can choose to block oncoming defensemen or join in the foray as an elible receiver. Only a dynamic hero will do. Enter: Cecil Harvey. This dark knight turned paladin is the master of shifting "jobs" and is effective at both roles making him the ideal tight end. Might as well throw in Cecil's trusty airship force (and the world's greatest professional sports team), the Red Wings, as a steady offensive line.

Final Fantasy Football: Running back - Zidane Tribal

Summer is ending and gridiron madness has taken hold of much of the nation as the National Football League's preseason completes its third week.

Many college pigskin seasons begin this week and the NFL will kickoff on Sept. 9 forcing many football fans to make their official fantasy football selections.

Although many gamers have championed their third national championship in NCAA 11 or fourth super bowl ring in Madden 11, what about the rest of the video game community?

The time is now for football fanatics and gaming gurus to collide. Behold: Final Fantasy Football.

The more than 20-year-old video game franchise provides more than enough characters and attributes to warrant an official fantasy football selection. There is even a couple Wiki "Uncyclopedia" entries on the topic, so you know it's legit.

Running back
Zidane Tribal
Final Fantasy IX

This former bandit leader is known for his speed and agility. The pint-sized hero of Final Fantasy IX would make an ideal running back easily slipping through defenders. Although he may be the savior of Gaia, Zidane's quirky tale may prove an inconvenient trait and an easy target for defenders to make a quick tackle. Nevertheless, expect a wide variety of touchdown celebrations from the master of theatrics and member of the Tantalus Theater Troupe.
