The real reason you want to stop defending it is that it is somehow the worst mainline Final Fantasy besides 2 (yes, you heard that right, Final Fantasy 9 is better than 15)

Sekiro pretty handily wins an update out of nowhere giving me false hope.

Monster Hunter just dropped off on that update.

Also, Zelda dropped a piss ass weak 75% update.

actually no

it's just no fun to have three horrible posters lining up to shoot down everything I say (although one poster does it with everything I say anyway so that's nothing new)

I vote against my picks all the time, especially now that I have too many wrong choices to stand a chance at winning. My picks are the games I think will win, my votes are for the games I actually like best.

FF has not truly been great since IX.

X and 12 were both great. IX is overrated. Easily the worst ps1 FF game.

the characters in XII are among the most forgettable in the franchise (in that regard i'd even say its considerably behind XV)

however the world / lore and gameplay are all top notch. the gambit system is still LEAGUES ahead of every other form of AI control mechanics any other rpg has ever attempted to do.

FF12 is my favorite 'not thinking too hard' game to play. There's something relaxing about running around collecting hunts with 4x game speed. Music and art style are really aesthetically pleasing.

As a traditional JRPG experience though (a.k.a. story, characters, pacing) it's pretty bad.

Yeah, I don't think Cuphead was on Switch right away either. Also, SSBU wasn't out yet which recently added Cuphead as a costume. In addition, Cuphead is the only indie game that I can buy themed socks for at Spencer's.

I take the Cuphead GotY poll with a grain of salt because if you haven't played a lot of indie games, you're voting for the one with the breakout art style that got a ton of press. Of course, that's a terrible opponent for GTA5 to face. It'll suck up those anti-votes no problem.

Halo Reach isn't a powerhouse, but it's not exactly a joke. This is absurd.

Honestly gamefaqs seems to be mostly comprised of PS4/Switch gamers. In general I think it's safe to assume any Xbox, Mobile or PC exclusive games aren't going far.

Ori and Cuphead were pretty much xbox and windows pc exclusive until recently released on switch. Now cuphead got massive switch boost. I dont think Ori did. Thats pretty much xbox And pc alone

but youre right. Which is a shame. I would have liked to have seen Gears of War 3 in this contest.
