It's a little bizarre to see North America early on as Final Fantasy's strongest region. --- :> |

Did FFIX ever get an Australian release? It's 50/50 with PW in Oceania. --- I predict and analyse the Game of the Decade contest here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56817040 |

He survived 37 rounds but 38 was just too much. Phew! For a moment I thought Halo: Combat Evolved was going to win the contest! --- "I remember a time when someone called World of Warcraft 'World of WoW'" |

Rooting for FFIX to beat FFX's percentage on VJ here. FFX will still win, but it would be pretty damn hilarious to see FFIX outperform FFX on a stronger game. --- Wylvane PrivateBiscuit1 is a horrible user. |

It
would give me a lot more respect for Gamefaqs if IX did win though. Its
criminally underrated here, when its the best 3D FF game for sure. --- Epona > any Western character in CB9! http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |

I
will never get why people overrate 3-4 so much. I was never so
disappointed with a case as I was with that one, after hearing people
hype it up for so long. --- Epona > any Western character in CB9! http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |

Not sure if I agree with those rankings, but then again I don't know how I'd rank them other than 3-5 being #1, obviously. --- Wylvane Menji76 is a horrible user. |

It
would give me a lot more respect for Gamefaqs if IX did win though. Its
criminally underrated here, when its the best 3D FF game for sure. If I was pressed for a decision, I'd say that FF9 is probably my favorite in the series, followed closely by X, then VI. I agree that it's underrated, but I say that realizing that it's pretty much the same way everywhere, so I have no problem with this website specifically not seeing the game the same way I do. |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #152 Absolutely. While it may not deserve to be a division winner, there are a lot more interesting matches for it than the pathetically boring FFX matchup. I'll never get Bacon's compulsive obsession with SFF matches that he seemingly inherited from CJayC. It's as if they get some masochistic satisfaction out of creating the least interesting matches possible. Melee vs. Brawl is a great match, but other than that they're pretty pointless. FFIX in the Fallout division would've been great. Pretty much putting any game of decent strength in that division would've been a huge improvement in terms of fun matches (I still can't get over how stupidly weak that division is). From: 695924 | #259 Haha yes. All this time we were arguing GSC vs. Final Fantasy X - apparently GSC vs. Final Fantasy IX will be the decisive battle! :) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
NoDicePwn | Posted 11/8/2010 9:55:22 AM | message detail |
Yeah,
3-5 is #1 no question. But 3-4 felt more like a mini or unfinished arc
that should have been like the beginning of 3-5 instead of its own
case. And because of that, I can't really say it was good in its own
right. Probably only put it above 3-3. --- Epona > any Western character in CB9! http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |

I'll never get Bacon's compulsive obsession with SFF matches that he seemingly inherited from CJayC. I think it's because neither one of them understand the concept of SFF, so it is no fault to them for setting up SFF matches. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

Good
show from FFIX. I like this trend of RPGs, especially the more niche
RPGs, doing well- it gives me hope for Chrono Trigger. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

So
how are we all feeling about Chrono Cross vs. Dragon Quest VIII? That's
by far the toughest remaining choice of the first round to me. Dragon
Quest VIII has some good poll results and is well-loved, definitely
moreso than CC. But...top option. --- DFF |

VII > X > VI > IV > I > VIII=IX >> V Haven't played the rest, and haven't finished XII (gotta finish that, stopped playing it many months ago but I was almost done). I'd probably rank XII around VIII and IX. V is easily the weakest among the ones I've played, the only one I wouldn't qualify as a 'good' game. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Top
option? Is this theory actually being taken seriously, or is it a joke?
I feel fairly good about Chrono Cross regardless, because Square
>>> Enix outside of Japan, and on this site. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Leon
is the only person I know here so far with a somewhat similar FF
ranking as me. At least as far as the best 3 games in the series go
anyways. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |

CC never released in Europe, so DQ8 will kill it there.

Pretty sure people favoring the first option of a poll when they don't care about either entrant has been scientifically proven. --- DFF |

VII > X > VI > IV > I > VIII=IX >> V Well, since we're all giving our ranking... IX > X > VI > VIII=VII > X-2 > XIII > XII It's been so long since I've played 3, 4 and 5 that I don't feel comfortable trying to rank them. |
KamikazePotato | Posted 11/8/2010 10:03:17 AM | message detail |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2247 DQ8 got a lot of publicity when it came out. Remember the FFXII demo everyone bought it for? Then realized the FFXII demo sucked, and that they were actually going to have to play the game it came with? And then it was great? --- DFF |
NoDicePwn | Posted 11/8/2010 10:03:37 AM | message detail |
lol my bad, I read that as "I'm curious what its pic looks like" for some reason. For my FF rankings... FFVI > FFIX > FFVII > FFIV > FFX > FFXII > who cares --- Epona > any Western character in CB9! http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |
-LusterSoldier- | Posted 11/8/2010 10:04:24 AM | message detail |
I think this top option theory won't help out the top game win a very close match. Just take a look at this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3680 The top option and bottom option are almost identical in votes. The top option does a little bit better than the bottom option, but not by much. Any votes that a game gets from users always going with the top bottom will be countered by those who always vote for the bottom option. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |
creativename | Posted 11/8/2010 10:04:55 AM | message detail |
Oh
yeah, Tactics! I'd rank that around VI I think. VI > T > IV? I
might change the slotting of Tactics depending on the day of the week
though. From: red sox 777 | #360 I think it's mostly a meme/joke. There is a little bit too it in the fact that higher seeded games are on top in the first round. But that's not a causal thing with the top option. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Chrono
Cross has some strong POTD showings too. Namely, the GOTD poll, and the
poll near when it came out where it beat FFVII (not that this one
matters for us). --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
KamikazePotato | Posted 11/8/2010 10:11:05 AM | message detail |
Yeah, and then you have this poll. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3465 It was being SFFd, but that's still pretty bad. --- DFF |
creativename | Posted 11/8/2010 10:14:01 AM | message detail |
I
would be very surprised if DQ8 is competitive with CC. CC isn't
particularly strong, but DQ8 is going to be weak. And CC probably isn't
weak. Didn't realize match pics were up. What is Eternal Darkness? The pic for NSMBWii looks pretty good. Shouldn't matter, just saying. Also just realized that I have World of Warcraft>Paper Mario in round 2 - not sure why I put this, I would think a Mario game could beat WoW. WoW did beat Halo 2 I guess, which I don't think PM could do, so I guess WoW>PM is the right choice (assuming they both get there). What are people's thoughts on PM vs. WoW? From: MegatokyoEd | #409 I have little faith in SoA, but I cannot imagine BG2 being worth a damn on this site. Skies will win due to jrpgFEAR! --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

From: KamikazePotato | #451 It was being SFFed/LFFed and still managed 16% on the site's top game, which is considered what - mid fodder level? I don't see DQ8 managing that. I'd take Ocarina to break 85% on DQ8 1v1. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Well,
for one, that's Fallout 2, not Baldur's Gate 2. For another, that was

I'm
not sure if you're confusing Fallout with BG2, or drawing a comparison?
Because I don't think there's a comparison there. Fallout 2 was
probably stronger even back then, and BG2 is utterly ancient now. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
