Come
on, guys. FFIX has never been a powerhouse, this is in no way a sign of
further drops for the series. In fact, it's the first match it's had
that can give us a reasonable estimate on it's strength. --- Dr Football and Snake have won this round, but Sephiroth will rise again! |

Safer,
on their own, FFXII / XIII are fine games. But they're nothing like
quality Squaresoft used to give to the brand. I mean, think about it
for a moment. Let me give you this factoid : Sep 3, 1997 Dec 17, 2001 That's 4 years. In that time, Squaresoft released FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX and FFX on PSX and PS2 4 years, 4 great entries. Then... FFXII = Oct 31, 2006 FFXIII = Mar 9, 2010 It went from 4 years, 4 great games to 5 years then 4 years for two fine games. That's inexcusable. That's why people started hating Square-Enix and the FF brand. --- *sigh* Lemme get my TI-83+ ...WTF!? Piece of trash!!*throws it away*~Rodri316 during his proof of why -4^2=16 |

I'm
also not getting the "oh god FF series is doomed now" s*** from this
match. FF9 was never gonna be FF7, FFX, or even FF8 strength. 55-45 is
a pretty expected result against a legit game like KotoR. Now if you have FFX winning the contest, that's another story! --- The 3DS will be $200 or I'm closing my account - Ngamer64 |

This
match isn't even that good of a reading of FF9's strength. You've got
possibly the most day-having game in the contest vs. the most
night-heavy game in the contest. Results are going to be pretty skewed. --- DFF |

But
I don't understand what people want from FF.It is just a name.Every
game is vastly different from each other(from FF VI and onwards at
least).But all are okay.And people expect way too much.Also we have
Fallout,Halo,Call Of Duty,Assassin Creed which have sold millions of
copies and everyone loves them but of course Mario games beat
them.Makes sense right?Also what happened with UltimaterializerX?He
kept saying Melee>Brawl with 60%-40% and making topics and now says
Brawl shall win? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |

This
anti-FFX sentiment is getting pretty irritating though. It eventually
meets or surpasses the expectations we had for it before this match,
and everyone's still down on it and criticizing it. I like the game a lot, but I won't be satisfied until it gets its comeuppeance in a contest, which it cannot realistically do without facing a strong game. Getting 37% on an OOT suffering from Triple LFF is a disgraceful performance, and the fact that it didn't seem to trigger much disappointment at all in FFX makes me angry. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

This
anti-FFX sentiment is getting pretty irritating though. It eventually
meets or surpasses the expectations we had for it before this match,
and everyone's still down on it and criticizing it. Because it has yet to be put in a situation where it wasn't tailor-made to overperform or to have an excuse for not looking good. Night matches, LFF, SFF...you name it. If FFX actually gets 53.64% on RE4, things will be different. As it stands, I don't trust it's results against Viewtiful Joe, an Xbox shooter in the night, and another RPG. --- DFF |

Still
disagree on it being 'nonsense', but I was referring to RPG SFF there
anyway. FFX doesn't get over 68% on San Andreas. That simply would not
happen. --- DFF |

Melee's
impact was very significant in that match. Possible moreso than RBY,
because the overlap between OOT and Melee is a lot closer. It's also a
weaker game that got SFF'd a lot harder, so RBY probably took a greater
total number of votes from OOT, but probably not by much. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
KamikazePotato | Posted 12/11/2010 9:58:28 AM | message detail |
Vice
City did well on RE4 and GTA3 proved that it's only a little weaker
than God of War and Tales of Symphonia. I don't think FFX gets over 68%
on any of those games. Either way, it's extremely hard for FFX not to be overrated by its current results, because even if it beats RE4, it probably isn't getting 53.64% on it. --- DFF |
LeonhartFour | Posted 12/11/2010 9:59:28 AM | message detail |
From: KamikazePotato | #328 If RE4 can get 66% on VC, I really see zero reason why FFX can't get 68% on San Andreas. Especially since, you know, FFX's stronger than RE4, and many people think VC >= SA. If you can give me a good, logical reason, then I'll change my mind. For the record, FFX averaged 66.41% after the Power Hour, and yet it still finished nearly a full percent below that because it had to deal with that first hour, so yeah, maybe it's not such a huge advantage after all when you get so handicapped by the first 60 minutes, which has by far the most votes in a night match hour. --- "Stay with me until the end.

It
wasn't doing well at first, but by the end I think it ended up about
where it was expected. Maybe I'm remembering the predictions wrong. SA and VC are probably virtually equal, but SA had the better contest, losing to GS and all. Vice City's match against Silent Hill 2 was atrocious. But yeah, like I said, the problem is that if FFX doesn't dispatch RE4 with ease, the stats are going to end up looking all sorts of funky. If RE4 ends up winning, would you still say that it didn't overperform? --- DFF |

From: KamikazePotato | #335 Yeah, I'd still say that, because I don't really believe in genre SFF except in very rare situations. Besides, I think FFX could break 60% on HL2, and I wouldn't think twice about it, so FFX getting 65%+ on the games HL2 beats doesn't sound strange to me.

Yeah, I'd still say that, because I don't really believe in genre SFF except in very rare situations. This is very silly. It wouldn't even have to be major SFF.

it's not even really the doubts about whether FFX will win the contest

here thinks it's a fraud, everyone knocks its performances despite them
being fine, and it feels like everyone is openly rooting for it to
lose, like in an over-the-top way. As an FFX fan, it's just pretty irritating! --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |

RPG
SFF between FFX/GS is pretty dumb, first you have to have people buy
multiple consoles and those two games then you'd have to have those
people disproportionally like FFX more than GS. Really even if it does
exist we would probably just chalk it up to random variation since
it'll be small. It'd be like arguing FFX would SFF Pokemon. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 140/158 Today's Matches: FFX & FFIX |

I think setting VC=SA and increasing Golden Sun's % still gives FFX a comfortable win. Just not a 54% win. Them being RPGs is all that's necessary. Just because they were on different systems doesn't mean there isn't going to be a least a little bit of overlap. And it's not even really the doubts about whether FFX will win the contest or not that I was referring to. It's more that it seems like everyone here thinks it's a fraud, everyone knocks its performances despite them being fine, and it feels like everyone is openly rooting for it to lose, like in an over-the-top way.
