Disappointed but not surprised about Final Fantasy XIII losing, even in the category I consider to be one of its greatest strengths. I know I'm in a tiny minority on that one.
I am a bit surprised about XIII-2 winning, got lucky with the match up and the category.
It's too bad that Nier: Automata didn't get farther, but side content isn't its greatest strength, so it's understandable.
It's also kind of a bummer that The Old Republic got knocked out so soon, but I don't know how anybody could vote for it in the gameplay category. I even nominated it and I couldn't vote for it, not for its gameplay.
I was pretty surprised to see Ar nosurge show up at all. I enjoyed it a bit, but imo it's pretty average in every category, except maaaaaybe in music. The music's pretty good. I'd be interested to know who nominated it, and what your reasoning is.
Dragon Age: Origins is the biggest upset for me. That cast is sooooo good, one of the best in video games. If Vagrant Story really has a better cast than Dragon Age: Origins, I need to play it ASAP.
Mostly I'm just surprised at how many of these games I haven't played. I gotta play more RPGs. That's my number one takeaway so far.
