Final Fantasy Census!!! Final RESULTS!!!

I predict that the older the member, the older their favourite FF is.

Sounds like a reasonable prediction.

Done, for what it's worth!

:sweatdrop: didn't catch that, basically think of 25+ as 26 and older.

The numbers would surprise you a bit concerning age though. Most of the participants have been in the same age range and the choice in series usually stay within a certain time period with one exception. ;)

It would be nice for the girls to actually vote though :colbert:

It was easy for me to pick my top 3, harder to determine how to rank each of the categories.

...Aw crap I forgot about FFXI. It's so different from all the rest that I forget it is included in the series. Oh well I'll just call that my #4.

I thought you did that on purpose for people who have a birthday soon that would switch them out of an age group.

Definitely would love to see a thorough breakdown by age group as well as gender if there are enough submissions to support it.

Other interesting data would have been things like:

-first system you played games on (NES, SNES, PS1, DS, etc.)
-first FF game you played
-what age you were when you first played a FF game

I say this because people even in the same age groups can have vastly different gaming experiences that will color their opinion of various games and game features outside of their age alone. Myself, I was playing video games before there was such thing as an SNES, but there are certainly people my age who were never into games until somebody got them hooked on, say, FFVII.

Yeah, I seem to be one of the few people (from what I've seen on forums anyway) who didn't start playing FF games until my late teens.

I did too. My first FF was IX, which I played when I was... 16 or 17, I think.

By the time we get enough data and analysis to satisfy every member someone is going to be able to submit it as their masters thesis. :lol:

If this goes well (and it is starting to do a bit better than I had anticipated but would still love more entries) then I can easily foresee a future version that will have a better breakdown cause I'll probably call on people to help me organize it next time.

This was sort of a whim so I didn't want to complicate for my own sake :sweatdrop

EDITGA: Del, if you want to resubmit and switch XI in there feel free to do so. I'm allowing all FF titles to be present to get a broader grasp of the series as well.

I meant to do this a while ago but completely forgot about it. Sent mine in now! There's a fairly big drop from my favorite FF to my second favorite.

I need some serious advertising for the female members of EoFF to step up and represent. I know you are out there! :shifty:

C'mon girls, you know you want to.

EDIT: *shamelessly plugs in General Chat*

My scores are basically the same because that's what I like most in games anyway xD

I might extend this for one more week so I can get a few stragglers in here. I still need to PM a few people and "coerce" them into doing the census. :shifty:
