Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 674

Yesmar | Posted 4/12/2009 10:09:30 PM | message detail
We have had some sort of favorite FF polls within the past couple of years:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2592
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2593

Why does anyone have faith in FFXII after this? It was taken right after the game came out.

Indirectly, the strengths probably aren't too wide

We agree on this.

And then FFVIII to be an even bigger distance from all three.

Yeah FFVIII would easily be ahead of them.


seeing as FF1 is worth 40% on SMW, FF9 doesn't have that much room to be a lot stronger before running into games I would definitely not take it over.

Exactly. FF9 can only get so strong, and FF1's strength is pretty respectable.

Holy- I didn't know those polls existed! Huh.

And XII is 100% dead in the water (as much as a main FF title can be). I see more and more hate for it as time goes on, and it's review score is awful.

I honestly don't see why anyone would worry about FF1 beating FF4 next round. Only one of those games is fun after the first 5 minutes, and I expect the voters to recognize that much.

Well I for one don't.

I think FFIV would be stronger than it based on respect and love. Both of which FFXII is sorely lacking in around here.

FFXII will do well enough solely because it's a Final Fantasy game. Check out the PS2 GotY 2006 -- it beat Kingdom Hearts II easy.

This. Look at today's poll. Do you honestly think FF1 itself (in all it's bland, poorly-aged glory) garnered 34%? It's franchise voting, and I think it'll be enough for TP > FF12 > HL2 to happen.

Uh, I just hope that anyone who thinks FFIX/HL/CC is a debatable match took HL2>FFXII in a heartbeat. HL2 is going to be much stronger than HL, and FFXII is going to be weaker than FFIX.

Well, I think the reason people think FFIX/HL is a debatable match is more because of there being a Chrono Cross in the way, but yeah. I went HL there (let's go FFVIII time for that miracle run), but FFXII in the other.

creativename | Posted 4/12/2009 10:24:24 PM | message detail
I thought the discussion was FF12's strength vs. other Final Fantasy's. I have no faith in it there.

Against Half-Life 2, it has some shot, although it would definitely be an upset. Individual game respect/love/etc. matters more in these polls than franchise voting.

Its kinda sad that Tecmo Super Bowls 1.24% update record might only last 1 day..

Yes. Yes it is.


Seriously though.... I can't think of any reason as to why PoP is bombing this hard. It has to be one of the most illogical results ever

I expected it to flop worse than most, and this is still baffling to me.

Hmm... these 4chan guys are making this match a bit tougher to analyze.

Anyway, while I'd still take FFXII over HL2 in a traditional match, I just couldn't do it here. There's another Square RPG in the poll, Half-Life 2 has the PC and Xbox vote all to itself, and Twilight Princess likely hurts FFXII more, as well. Throw in the fact that HL2 is infinitely more heralded and has the more devoted fanbase, and that's enough for me.

And the only reason I'm acting like this is because HL : HL2 isn't some small ratio. Its like comparing Vice City : SA or something. If you have faith in HL you should be having much more faith in HL2.
