CONTEST: Win a free iOS copy of FFTactics!

[LocoColt04]

So, first we had some giveaways, and now we have some takeaways! It's been a busy week for community interaction from our pals at Square Enix. We have one copy of FINAL FANTASY Tactics to pass along to a winner, so let's determine who and how.

We'll be running an essay contest, to be judged by your peers, and the winner will receive the code accordingly. Keep in mind, this is for an iOS version of the game - you will need either an iPad, iPod, iPhone, or iTunes on a Mac in order to utilize this prize. Please do not enter if you cannot utilize this reward unless you intend to gift it to someone who can.

So, currently we have one code. There is a small possibility of acquiring another, but we're not counting on that. (I'll certainly inform you if that changes.) What's all this essay mess then? Easy peasy, break it down now~

THE TOPIC: You have just been hired by Ramza to help him in his fight against hypocrisy and betrayal. What is your starting Job? How will you contribute to the cause? What do you have to offer over the stock characters? Creative liberty is allowed and encouraged - feel free to create new (reasonable) abilities to set yourself apart like all of the story NPCs, but you must pick one of the standard Job classes, including ones introduced in War of the Lions.

THE REQUIREMENTS: English. It doesn't have to be great English; judgement will be upon quality of the content. You must write a minimum of 500 words (roughly 1 page). You must address all three questions above.

THE SUBMISSION: Submit all entries to me, via PM here. Please title your message "FFT iOS Entry" to allow for quick identification.

THE DEADLINE: Saturday, 06 July 2013, 23:59 UTC.
For convenience, here are some other time zones:
US, Eastern Daylight Time - Saturday, 06 July 2013, 19:59

AU, Australian Eastern Standard Time - Sunday, 07 July 2013, 09:59

THE JUDGING: After entries are submitted, they will be posted anonymously into a voting thread, where your fellow forum-goers will have exactly three days to decide your fate. The essay with the most votes wins!*

THE GAME:
[Version 1.2.0]

■Refined Graphics
All of the game's unit graphics have been redrawn in high-resolution. Don't miss this chance to play the sharpest, most beautiful FINAL FANTASY TACTICS yet!

■Improved Draw Speeds
The graphic drawing processes have been optimized for mobile devices. Say goodbye to choppy motion and crash bugs, and play with the quickest, smoothest abilities effects and animations to date!

■iCloud Support
A save slot which allows game data to be saved to iCloud has been added. It is now possible to migrate game data across multiple devices.


* In the event of a tie, the essays will be forwarded to a nonpartisan party for a tiebreaking vote - an administrator of one of our partner communities!

I'm extending the deadline by six hours. Primarily because I won't be home until around then anyway, and secondarily because why not? Once I get home, I'll post all of the entries for community judging!
