    I wouldn't have predicted FFT in the final. Top 5, sure. But there were many more conventionally popular games that didn't make it.

    Would you have preferred a final of Trials of Cold Steel 2 vs. [Japanese name I can't pronounce], Fynn?

    Oh I’m not complaining at all. Like Wooz said, I voted for both of them in the semifinals. I was just kinda hoping I would maybe be surprised a bit At least it’s not FFVII winning by a landslide this time lol!

    That said, I don't see it as disappointing. It's only natural that you can predict the tastes of people you hang out with on the internet a lot. Especially when the subject is RPGs, on an RPG forum.
    Yeah, but Chrono Trigger isn't just predictable on EoFF. It's predictable across the internet. Which is why, despite it being probably near though maybe not quite on my top 10 of all time, I still consider it to be a very overrated game.

    That never happened. At least not since I've been here. I feel like I'm constantly being gaslighted about how FF7 is received here based on forum makeup of 10 years ago.

    There was this huge Best FF tournament and of course VII won. I think the final round was between it and IX. You’re still just a newbie Golbez. Your experience is sadly not universal

    Yeah you have to go back a few years, but FFVII won almost every contest back in the day.

    The Golden Age is whatever it is in your heart, Golby.

    This was just 5 years ago! Wasn't even some far flung time in the past.

    FF7 won by 9 votes with 27 votes. Which is still a decent lead.

    In reality of course Final Fantasy 7 was at best the third best game in its own franchise from the moment of its release but it certainly captured some imaginations

    Don’t think I’ve ever seen you so generous. Then again, your DQ takes have been catastrophically bad so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised

    I think you forgot to adjust for 2020, which was 5 years long.

    Hey I'm just excited Tactics made it the finals. It certainly has some loud fans on this forum but always seems to fall into the bridesmaid category when it shows up to popularity contests on this forum.

    This is probably going to come down to the way Fynn votes (no pressure).

    Edit:. Nevermind. I was banking on WarZidane's dislike of CT. Turns out he dislikes FFT way more.

    Well looks like I wouldn’t change much anyway since I was too late to vote
