How to Use the Original Rank Maker

Getting Started

There are three main ways to make a chart. Pick the one closest to what you want to do. If you are unsure, look at the "Sample" first to see what a finished chart looks like, then make your own with "Bulk Add".

Try a Sample

First, let's see what kind of image you can make, using an example.

1. At the very bottom of the editor, under "Try a Sample", press Apply Sample.
2. When asked "Reset your edits and load the sample?", press OK. The rank chart switches to an example filled with characters (named "My Job Ranking (Magic)").
3. Press Create Rank Chart near the top of the screen. A new page (tab) opens and shows the finished image.
4. When you are done, press Close this page on the result page to go back to the editor.

Using the sample erases what you were making. Be careful if you have a rank chart in progress.

Bulk Add, Then Rearrange (Recommended)

This is handy when you already have a theme, such as "I want to rank the FF VII characters". Roughly place everyone first, then fine-tune later.

1. In "Rank Settings", press Bulk Add. When asked "Reset your edits and add all characters of the chosen category?", press OK.
2. Under "Category", press Select and choose the category you want. Use the tabs at the top to switch between "Series", "Element / Role" and "Job" (for example, "FF VII" under Series).
3. Choose "Add to". At first, "Distribute evenly across S–G" is fine. Choose "Put all in Unplaced" to place them in the "Unplaced" area below the chart instead of in ranks.
4. If "Use the category as the chart name" is checked, the chart name becomes the category name (for example, FF VII). A name you already entered will be replaced. Uncheck it if you want to keep your name.
5. Press OK and the characters are tentatively placed in the ranks.
6. Turn on the "Arrange Mode" switch and rearrange them in the order you like. See "How to Rearrange" for details.
7. When you are done, press Create Rank Chart to finish.

The first placement only splits the characters evenly by count, so it is just a draft. Don't worry about it; add them first and rearrange afterwards. If you move something by mistake, Undo cancels your last action.

Pick Characters One by One

1. Enter a name for your chart in "Rank chart name" (for example, My Fire Physical Tier List). With Input Assist, you can build a name by combining ready-made words.
2. Press the ＋ in the rank you want to fill.
3. Choose a "Category", then a "Character". For characters with Dress Records, you can also choose a "Dress Record".
4. Press Apply to put the character in the rank. Repeat this. The next time you press ＋, it starts from the category you chose last time.
5. When you are done, press Create Rank Chart to finish.

To change a character you added, press that character and choose again. To take it out, press Reset at the top right of that selection screen.

How to Rearrange (Arrange Mode)

Turn on the "Arrange Mode" switch in "Rank Settings" and you can rearrange characters by pressing them. First press the character you want to move once. It gets a lime green frame (this means it is "selected").

While this mode is on, the ＋ buttons are hidden and you cannot add characters. Turn the switch off to add more.

Parts of the Screen

Basic Settings & Image

Rank chart name

The name shown at the very top of the finished image. You can also build it from words with Input Assist.

Show series / Show character names (Image Appearance)

When switched on, the series mark (for example, "VII" for FF VII) appears at the top left of each character, and the character name appears at the bottom of the image. Both are placed on top of the image, so the rows do not get taller. All name labels are the same size; long names are shown in smaller letters so they fit.

Show frame (Image Appearance)

When switched on, each character is shown in a gold frame on a round stand, like in Gigas Coliseum Simulation. The frames line up with no gaps, filling each row exactly. Character names are shown in white bold text with a black outline at the bottom of the frame, like in the game.

Background

The background of the finished image. Choose from "Default (Black)", colors such as White or Blue, any color with "Custom color", or a series background image. The small square on the right shows the background you chose.

Create Rank Chart / Reset All

"Create Rank Chart" makes the finished image (a name and at least one character are required). "Reset All" keeps the name and takes out all the characters.

Rank Settings

Arrange Mode

When on, you can swap, move and remove characters (How to Rearrange).

Bulk Add

Adds all characters of the chosen category at once (steps).

Undo

Cancels your last rearrange, remove or bulk add. When it is available, the button shows what it will undo.

Ranks S to G and Reset

Each rank holds up to 30 characters. "Reset" under the rank name (the ↺ button on smartphones) takes out all characters in that rank.

Unplaced

A holding area for characters not yet in a rank. Characters here are not included in the finished image.

Tidy (fill gaps)

Fills empty spots by moving characters to the left.

Saving and Sharing the Image

Press Create Rank Chart and the finished image opens in a new page (tab). The editor stays open, so you can keep working on it later.

• Smartphone: Press and hold the image and choose "Save image" or similar. If that doesn't work, tap the image to download it.
• Computer: Right-click the image and choose "Save image as" or similar.
• On the result page you can also switch the series / character name labels and the frame, and choose how many characters (5 to 8) to line up in one row (5 at first), and make the image again.
• Turn on "Transparent background" to save the image without a background (it is white by default).
• Press Share on X (Twitter) to open the X post screen (nothing is posted just by pressing it).
• Press Close this page to close the result page and go back to the editor.

On Android devices, creating the image may take a few seconds.
