And GoW > Oblivion if only because of recency. Same reason why FF3 is doing so good. If FF3 and NSMB switched release dates, NSMB would be dominating right now. Well duh! I'm shocked nobody else even thought about that before declaring KHII, Oblivion, and NSMB the GotY. ESPECIALLY with Kingdom Hearts. FFXII is very capable of beating out KH2 if only because of being the current flavor. Same with Oblivion and Gears of War... except that Gears of War is capable of beating out Oblivion in it's own right. GoW has already sold a million copies if I'm not mistaken. And it's not like GameFAQs doesn't like games like GoW. Just because Oblivion is an RPG doesn't mean that it wins GotY automatically. Halo may not be a beast on this site as far as contests go, but Halo 2 still dominated it's GotY poll. And that's with KOTOR II and Fable to compete with. Oblivion may be more popular than KOTOR II and Fable, but it's not like Gears of War is going to roll over for it. Especially since it's the current flavor. I fully expect Gears of War to take the Xbox 360 poll. --- Currently playing: Resident Evil 4, Twilight Princess (GC), Castlevania PoR, Yoshi's Island DS |

No Yoshi's Island DS in the DS poll. ;( FFXII wins the PS2 poll, and Zelda: TP wins the overall poll. KH2 has a better chance at beating FFXII in the PS2 poll than FFXII does at beating Zelda: TP in the overall poll, I say. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun!

About this whole flavor-of-the-month thing...NSMB had just come out
afew days before the GotY-so-far poll from earlier this year, and it
still barely managed, what, 10% was it? I'm just saying I don't think
it's so crucial and important (though nice to have on your side, I'm
not denying that). GoW certainly does have a chance to beat Oblivion,
but being a well-received multi-platform RPG that held its own against
KH2 earlier this year has me sold on its chances moreso than GoW. NSMB/FF3 looks to be a good battle today, heh. I really doubted NSMB had much strength behind it because of that same GotY-so-far poll and it wasn't exactly an instant Mario-classic...but I didn't think it would be letting FF3 ride its ass, either. I'm not convinced this is FF3's strength, but we'll find out one way or another in the overall GotY-poll. Also, HM, what were the sales of KH2 and what does it look like FF12 is going to have? I didn't think FF12 would have any way of already selling as much is KH2 has all this year..... --- Rufus Shinra: like a true Guru should, he owned me. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=32191952 |

Then I stand corrected, but I'm still standing firm with KH2 > FF12.
Nearly a third of the site had it as GotY against the likes of Oblivion
and NSMB, and I understand KH2 has improved upon everything from KH.
Meanwhile, FF12 fell just shy of FF9 in the modern-FF-poll, current
flavor and all. In the Top 100 List, KH was #15 while FF9 was in the
low 40's (#43, I think?)...not that I think there'd be a big difference
like that in a head-to-head match of KH/FF9, but I know I'd take KH2
> KH and FF9 > FF12 isn't a bad pick to look at, so hey. We saw
KH2 was more anticipated than FF12 in an earlier poll, too (though it
was potentially skewed like Mac said), so all of that is enough for me. --- Rufus Shinra: like a true Guru should, he owned me. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=32191952 |

Also, HM, what were the sales of KH2 and what does it look like FF12
is going to have? I didn't think FF12 would have any way of already
selling as much is KH2 has all this year..... Final Fantasy XII sold 900,000 copies in November, which was the most a Final Fantasy game has sold in its opening month for the series. Given that December is generally an even bigger month than November for sales, Final Fantasy XII should easily sell over 500,000 with it being the biggest game on the PlayStation 2 right now. Kingdom Hearts II did pretty well the first few months, but then it slowly just withered away down to around 30,000 per month. Although if you take into account Europe, Kingdom Hearts II wins for exposure on GameFAQs since FFXII is not out there yet. That said, I still fully expect Final Fantasy XII to win the PS2 GotY poll within the next few days and put up a solid fight for the overall GotY poll, beating Kingdom Hearts II in both cases. --- "Bide your time, and hold out hope." |

We saw KH2 was more anticipated than FF12 in an earlier poll, too
(though it was potentially skewed like Mac said), so all of that is
enough for me. For me, I found the performance that Kingdom Hearts II put up in the midterm Game of the Year poll to be pretty disappointing. We just saw that Final Fantasy III on the DS was nearly able to beat out NSMB, so it would not appear as though NSMB is any sort of monstrous competition. Oblivion has inherent disadvantages going against it here that I do not really believe that beating it by a few thousand votes is anything to brag about, but I may be proven wrong once we get to see it up there again. I think you are cutting Final Fantasy XII a bit short here, too. It is true that recency helps out, but a poll taken a few days before the "Favorite modern Final Fantasy title" showed that only 6% of the site had even beaten the game. True, you do not need to beat the game to determine it is your favorite, but I would imagine that most people like to get through the game before crowning it such. Got Final Fantasy XII? Yes, played it, beat it 6.1% 6588 Yes, still playing through it 25.57% 27627 Yes, started it, lost interest 6.59% 7116 No, but I plan to eventually 25.22% 27248 No, I'm not interested in it 20.47% 22117 No, I don't own a PS2/PS3 16.05% 17341 TOTAL VOTES 108037 (http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2589) There is still a solid chunk of voters out there who have not even gotten the game yet -- and I bet many of them got it for Christmas. I expect FFXII to perform much better in the Game of the Year polls and probably a heck of a lot better in the next "Favorite Final Fantasy" poll after it has had more exposure, which it should have by now for Americans with Christmas have come and gone, along with it releasing in Europe, which does not matter now since we are talking about polls that will be finished within the week, but yeah. --- "Bide your time, and hold out hope." |

I think people are putting too much stock in that early GotY poll.
Mario doing poorly was more of a showing how popular handheld games are
in comparison to mainstream console games. It didn't get more popular
since then. It's just going to look a lot better relatively when put
next to other DS games. As for KHII/Oblivion and that poll in general.... people are forgetting that the true winner of that poll was "I haven't played any of those games". Kingdom Hearts hadn't even been released in Europe and was still circulating. I have no doubt that Kingdom Hearts would spread the gap if that poll were re-run today. Oblivion had a good showing, but by no means am I calling that a lock for Xbox 360 game of the year. Again, what else were Xbox 360 fans going to vote for in that poll? A PS2 RPG? A handheld Mario game? If Oblivion holds up when it finally has some competition for itself, then I'll stop my skepticism. But until then, that poll means very little to me. --- Currently playing: Resident Evil 4, Twilight Princess (GC), Castlevania PoR, Yoshi's Island DS |

NSMB was very new at the time, too, so it had a lack of exposure as
well. Still though, I wouldn't think it could have cracked 20% on its
best day in that same poll. Oblivion's going to do plenty well for itself, even if it manages to lose to GoW -- it's not like that's pitiful competition. I just don't see it falling apart in support given how it did earlier this year; GoW, while still a good bet, is a game I'm just not AS confident about (though I hear good things). I'll cut FF12 some slack here due to HM's arguement, though I still feel like KH2 is where the gold is going to rest. --- Rufus Shinra: like a true Guru should, he owned me. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=32191952 |

Though, to argue with HM a little bit more, FFX managed to beat FF3/6
in a FF-poll shortly after its release and had taken GotY against the
likes of GTA3, MGS2, SSBM, and Halo. FF12 had over a month and couldn't
beat FF9 in a modern-FF-poll...so Christmas better have been AMAZING
for it. --- Rufus Shinra: like a true Guru should, he owned me. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=32191952 |

This is certainly true, but I don't suspect that Final Fantasy XII is going to quite be a Final Fantasy X, which seems to have a nice hold as the third strongest Final Fantasy game on the site. We all know the disadvantages that Final Fantasy XII has, but I don't think that will prevent it from winning the PS2 poll and giving Twilight Princess a very strong run in the final poll. And for whatever it's worth, while it had less time to reach the masses, Final Fantasy X also had that "Favorite Final Fantasy" poll take place nine days after Christmas and even longer for the GotY polls. We'll have to see how it goes, but the worst I'm anticipating for FFXII is second to Twilight Princess. --- "Bide your time, and hold out hope." |

lose to GoW -- it's not like that's pitiful competition. I just don't
see it falling apart in support given how it did earlier this year; But that's my whole point. How it did earlier this year is not that impressive to me. Yes, it was surprising that it stood up at first, but looking more into it it's not that surprising at all. It was up against GRAW (I think), NSMB, and Kingdom Hearts 2. We already know there's a core, small, but dedicated Xbox fanbase on this site. Besides the option "I haven't played any of them yet", what else would you think they would support in that poll? GRAW? On THIS site? Yes, it kept up with KH2, but again, KH2 isn't the end-all game for this site either. It's really popular, but it's not on the level of FF and Zelda. The series contest shows that. What KH2 did (when there are no other options that would compete with the KH2 fanbase) isn't that impressive to me either. All I'm saying, is that I'm not using that poll as hard evidence on how Elder Scrolls and KH2 will perform, when they were basically the only option for their demographic. Let's see them go up against other popular games from this year in their demographic. --- Currently playing: Resident Evil 4, Twilight Princess (GC), Castlevania PoR, Yoshi's Island DS |

Fair enough, and Oblivion/GoW should be fun to watch at least. From
what I hear, they're both GotY-worthy...and GoW is probably more like
the casual 360-owner's type of game while Oblivion is more like the
casual GameFAQs-viewer's type of game. It'll be interesting, at least... ...could somebody look up the winners of previous Xbox/360 GotY's and maybe even the runner-ups?

What's interesting about GoW is that it wasn't as
hyped as Halo was (although Gears of War was still plenty hyped in its
own right compared to your average game), and it also is more "GameFAQs
friendly" than Halo. You don't hear all the hate for Gears of War that
you do for Halo on this site. I wonder if that will mean anything for
its popularity though. But I've seen that Gears of War seemed at first
to be a stop gap until Halo 3 drops, but people have been pleasantly
surprised by how good and well received it has been. It still could
flop in the poll, but I think this site likes it. --- Currently playing: Resident Evil 4, Twilight Princess (GC), Castlevania PoR, Yoshi's Island DS |

We saw KH2 was more anticipated than FF12 in an earlier poll, too
(though it was potentially skewed like Mac said), so all of that is
enough for me. It's a completely different type of poll, to be quite honestly. Expectations and anticipations don't always deliver. I voted for KHII on that first poll, but when GotY rolls around, I'll actually probably end up voting for FFXII. Remember what that poll was first run? Everyone around here was talking about how PATHETIC it was for KHII to barely be beating FFXII when it was almost out and we still had very little info on FFXII. And yeah, after Christmas, FFXII will definitely do a lot better. Its ownership will make a large jump now. --- "I'm only here to see how the story plays out.

On the subject of GoW, it sold one million copies in November alone,
and became the highest selling Xbox 360 game as a result. I know sales
don't really matter too much, but Gears of War, for a new franchise,
has done extremely well. I would say managing to outsell Final Fantasy
XII in the same month is pretty impressive. --- "Bide your time, and hold out hope." |

Selling 2 million copies in less than six weeks is even better... --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Board 8's Unofficial Master of the Phoenix Down |

I believe that since we never know what the Spring Contest is, Leonhart does not even bother running a Nominaton Rally for it. And, hey, Balthier can use the high seed! --- "Bide your time, and hold out hope." |

Unless CJayC lets us know well in advance what the Spring Contest will
be, it's a little difficult to do a proper Nomination Rally for it. --- "I'm only here to see how the story plays out. Any self-respecting leading man would do the same." - Balthier |

Any good contenders for the Nomination Rally? As far as recency goes,
there's Balthier, Ashe et al, I suppose Midna isn't a complete lock to
get in, so the rally could do her some good, and then there's the usual
Nintendo/SSB influx. Marth and Toad did well last year, perhaps someone
like Falco or Mewtwo can get through? --- For every awesome RE supporting guy, there's always one ****ing FFVII guy to ruin it! I got SFFed by Rufus Shinra in the Guru contest! |

Well, the better Balthier's seed, the better chance he has to win a match, which is also important! --- "I'm only here to see how the story plays out. Any self-respecting leading man would do the same." - Balthier |

Why does CJayC continue to have Spring Contests instead of Winter
contests? Does it have to do with Springtime having more traffic? If
not, it makes no sense to have a 9 month wait between Summer and Spring
contests. --- ENTER THE KAIBA CAVE! Rufus Shinra owns me like my Wii. |

As far as I know, Nightmare is still fair game from last year since he
didn't actually get in. Then there's Akuma, Serge, the FFXII crew, a FE
character will undoubtedly get SOME support... --- "I'm only here to see how the story plays out. Any self-respecting leading man would do the same." - Balthier |
