So i was watching the BAFTA video games awards the other night and was shocked, after an hour of watching, to notice that the phrase "Final fantasy" wasn't even spoken once!!! it's madness!!!

i would have thought it might have even been nominated for something like the best score, but it wasn't even in the running!

maybe it was just ommitted from the competition because it wouldn't be fair on the other games right!? :D

Discuss . . .

Maybe because there hasn't been a Final Fantasy release worth noting all year?
Aren't these also the same awards that awarded "Grand Theft Auto *something" with the best soundtrack, while it's not even a soundtrack made especially for the game? In that case, I don't even care about it.
-edit-
No, it's not the same. Nevermind.
I'm expecting to see Final Fantasy 12 nominated for several categories next year. My best bets would be screenplay, artistic achievement, original score and action/adventure.

Maybe because they just don't think final fantasy is that great/good? :)

Edit: *Agree's with mirages post*

Hmm, seeing as how this has nothing to do with Final Fantasy, I guess it's safe to boot this to General Gaming.

Here's a link to the list of the winners:

Why did SotC not win Game of the Year?

What is SotC?
Nevermind.
It did win artistic achievement and action/adventure. That's not bad.

New Super Mario Bros didn't win the "Best Children's Game" award?

I'm quite shocked. =/
