Yeah but that's the point of the randomness. Very few games are great in every field and some games may only have one strength to their name. So the randomness helps keep titles that probably would have never made it past the first round a chance, while also keeping things interesting by taking out a few sacred cows on the way. I love FFVI to death, but I have a feeling that if gameplay had been the category it would have been a tighter race.
Round 2 is looking to have some serious match ups as well.
