Fun fact: FF7 had an extremely high points-per-vote average for basically the entire nomination period, and was the easy winner of that category until a last minute +1 tanked the average.

That was me probably >_>

Pretty sure Horizon is the first game on my list, and I went with the first Danganronpa, looks like I mightve been the only one voting for it.

Should add Tactics to my backlog, can you play it on PS4 or Switch?

Also I didnt forget about this game but I played about 3 hours two days ago and somehow didnt save one time. Even though I used like 4 tents during that play through.

Also yesterday I started FFVIII just to mix things up

Now tackling some tomb whose name escapes me now. Nice throwback to the first boss you face with the one monster in a box. So glad Edgar back on the team, Setzer is cool too but I didnt really use him before. Not a big fan of the slots gimmick. Also I feel like The World is Square is a Squaresoft reference that Im not getting.

Of course after talking about how I hadnt died in so long, I die on the world map after Celes gets turned into an imp and I forget which item heals imp. At least Sabin is back with me!

Oh wow I was wondering why it was taking forever to progress for what I assumed was a simple mini game. I guess I got lucky since there was only two times where only one fish was in the water and I dont think they were moving slow. Otherwise I just grabbed the first fish I could

Cid ate a whole bunch of fish, showed me his basement with the raft, and waved goodbye as I floated off.

You might want to make a backup save at this point

Thank you, wouldve been bad if I accidentally messed up waiting, which considering I have a tendency to rush sometimes I could see me making that mistake.

So much to take in, I was disappointed when it looked like the magic of the gods killed Gestahl but was glad he spoke again. Then I couldnt help but be shocked and laughed when Kefka just tosses him off the floating continent like hes nothing. That section seemed much more difficult than the rest, actually had to heal constantly and a group of ninjas killed me one time. First time I believe Ive died since the first Ultros battle on the raft.

Anyway fed a bunch of fish to Cid, floated away on the raft and finished for the night.

Business sure has picked up, this might surpass Chrono Trigger as my favorite SNES game if it keeps up. I figured the Emperor was playing us for fools but wasnt expecting Leo to die so easily. I wish I didnt know the Kefka twist because Im curious if I wouldve seen it coming. Hes so much more prominent and evil than the Emperor but I could be looking at it the wrong way since I know whats coming.

Anyway just landed after fighting Ultros and Some guy that starts with the C, then the airship battle. The game warns that Kefka and The Emperor are ahead so Im gonna save and stop for today. Went with Terra, Edgar, and Strago as my party. Terra and Edgar seemed like musts but it was hard to choose between Strago, Sabian, Celes, and Cyan.

Thanks for the feedback first everyone. I'll try to hit on all the points that were mentioned. I saw these two close together in the x-stats, with Magus on top surprisingly, and saw a chance to give a shout out to Board 8. Didn't put the Knuckles beating Square thing into consideration but I'd have no problem messing with the seeding and giving Knuckles a shot at either Vivi or Terra. Probably my biggest internal complaint with myself was the 14 seeds and how I felt like I didn't use most of them properly. I love M. Bison and support just having him replace Chun-Li. I also originally had Squall and Sephiroth switched but I felt that left Division 1 a little too weak, which makes me think I could've just switched Tifa and Kirby, to set up Batman/Yoshi/Alucard vs. Tifa/Sephiroth.

Division 2 was set up to push Sonic to his limit as he is perceived as the weakest NNiner. I agree the Aerith/Red match actually seems like a waste in that slot in hindsight, Switching it with the Aloy/Monika though could make it more interesting maybe. I wanted to put Pac-Man up against a non video game character originally because I thought he'd be the perfect test for one. I went with Simba because in those Board 8 "How well would they do in a contest" topics he is ranked ahead of Scar. Same reason why I chose Luke Skywalker over Han Solo.

I love the idea of switching Cecil and Fox that way you get 2 great 1st round matches instead of 1 grear 2nd round match. Also putting Hayabusa against Kratos makes that match debatable, I also don't see Harry Potter doing that much since this site might be too old for him. Red XIII not being a 13 seed does seem like a shame though. Also if we once again switch Aloy/Monika to be the 8/9 in this division with Shepard/Ike then we can watch Link destroy more fodder and avoid SFFing Ike to the ground.

Division 6 was probably my least favorite division before settling on the bracket. I had Chloe as a 10 seed because I assume board 8 will end up getting her overseeded but Yu is one of my favorite characters so I'd gladly switch him with Chloe. An easy fix for Mewtwo's placement could be switching him with Scorpion, especially with MK11 looking so weak in GOTD2. Pikachu/MMX may seem like a waste for MMX but they are close in the x-stats and I don't see MMX losing strength while Pikachu has a chance to have dropped some.

I feel like Lara Croft is slowly losing her newfound popularity from the 2013 Tomb Raider, she was technically an 8 seed and Zidane the 9 seed but I switched it to give Zidane a little help. Ramza and Tails both could've gotten better less predictable matchups I felt but I just kinda ran out of ideas.

I actually wasn't avoiding the all Nintendo Finals on purpose, it just fell that way with Cloud and Link on opposite sides. You could switch the Cloud/Snake divisions with the Samus/Mario divisions and I feel like that would be good as well.

Based it off the 2018 seeding with the Elite Eight thrown back in. I saw somebody mention the idea of throwing in 16 non video game characters at different seeds to get our feet wet. An idea I personally loved so I stuck to it and limited it two 2 of them per division. I tried to only knock out characters that were either low seeded in 2018 or I felt like people wouldn't care about as much now. I also put in Banjo, Terry Bogard, Byleth, Red XIII, Tom Nook, Dracula, and Arthur Morgan due to Smash DLC hype, recent game hype, and Alucard's The Plan hype.

Anyway here's the bracket

(1) Batman vs. (16) Princess Peach
(8) Magus vs. (9) Knuckles
(5) Yoshi vs. (12) Lightning

(7) Banjo vs. (10) Aqua
(2) Sephiroth vs. (15) Spongebob Squarepants

Division 2
(1) Sonic the Hedgehog vs. (16) Eric Cartman
(8) Aerith vs. (9) Pokemon Trainer Red
(5) Bowser vs. (12) Velvet Crowe
(4) Ganondorf vs. (13) Pac-Man
(3) Tifa Lockhart vs. (14) Ryu Hayabusa
(6) Shulk vs. (11) Simba
(7) Aloy vs. (10) Monika
(2) Squall Leonhart vs. (15) Draven

Division 3
(1) Cloud Strife vs. (16) Riku
(8) Luke Skywalker vs. (9) Noctis
(5) Byleth vs. (12) Garrus
(4) Leon Kennedy vs. (13) Ridley
(3) Darth Vader vs. (14) Revolver Ocelot
(6) Terra Branford vs. (11) Sub-Zero
(7) Yuna vs. (10) Dracula
(2) 2B vs. (15) Terry Bogard

Division 4
(1) Solid Snake vs. (16) Lloyd Irving
(8) Tidus vs. (9) Shadow
(5) Nathan Drake vs. (12) Homer Simpson
(4) Zelda vs. (13) L-Block
(3) Joker vs. (14) Wario

Playing the SNES version

Haven't gotten to play too much lately, finished up in the factory and went back to Narshe and recruited Mog into my party! Loved the flashback sequence for Terra, figured she was somehow related to an Esper but was surprised that it seems like the Emperor actually raised her from birth. And Im assuming her Mom was killed there as well.

Do you know what's coming in the second half?

The only spoiler I know is that Kefka kills the emperor and becomes the main bad guy.

Congrats to azuarc!

Right now Kefka just kicked some espers in the trash that he sucked their power out of in the factory. Currently rocking Celes as my main, because Terra isnt available so she seemed the best replacement, with Locke, Edgar, and Cyan with her.

Will gladly turn this into a play through topic and I will post my thoughts up until this point tomorrow after work. So far though it is contending to be my favorite Final Fantasy with 7 and 10 as its competition.

Awe booted off the leaderboard on the last day, oh well still a fun contest!

Best character from the 2000s, Aurons time to shine baby!

6 and 8

Man just reading you describe ME2 makes me crave that ME trilogy rerelease. But I just started The Witcher 3 for the first time and so far its great.

Was gonna play Xenoblade since it knocked me out of the Guru but since the Switch version isnt out yet will probably end up picking up Dark Souls.

Yeah I have GTA and Fire Emblem winning tomorrow so Im definitely falling off that leaderboard.

Man Im pretty sure Im getting close to the climax in RE3 as we speak but this match has me all distracted

Gotta give my star of the round to BOTW and turd to FFXV.

Anyway I like to believe I would defend myself against a burglar unless they had a weapon

BOTW killed the contest

Sorry to have just noticed this but I thought it was weird I wasnt on the Gamefaqs leaderboard and its because my Guru bracket has DMC>DKC but in reality it was the other way around. I didnt mess with my bracket before submitting it for the Guru so not sure why it didnt change that.

Anyone listen to this podcast?
