Best. Game. Ever?

elwenZelda is beating FF!
Not that I had Aeris' chance in Disc 2 of winning because my entry was totally FUBAR from the start. It all began with my braindead assumption that this was about the best game ever and not the best series, all blindingly obvious evidence to the contrary. This somehow led me to believing that Final Fantasy would lose to Grand Theft Auto. And then GTA conveniently lost to Warcraft in the first round. (Albeit by a slim margin.) And then there was Silent Hill, which I predicted would make it up to Zelda, which also lost in the first round, to Fire Emblem. (Whaa?) So, by the Final Four, only two of my choices were still standing. But if I managed to pick the winner correctly, maybe I can still claim some kind of moral victory. (Ha. Like it wasn't a 50-50 guess to begin with.)
Eh well, it's not like I've ever been good at gauging the popularity of games or characters, especially among that unique breed known as Respondents to GameFAQs Polls, whom we've previously confirmed are 90% male, lie about their lack of grammar, and can't play video games when they're 7. :P
[I could've sworn I made a post somewhere about the gender poll, to which someone --![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
meril, I believe -- responded that girls just go to GameFAQs, grab what they need, and don't bother with the poll. But I can't find it anymore.]
At least they've started to remove previous winners from the new contests, so eventually we'll make it beyond Cloud/Sephiroth/FF7/FF versus Link/LoZ...
ETA: The nominations page for the next character battle says, "The following characters are guaranteed positions and do not need any nominations: Link, Cloud, Sephiroth, Mario." Damn you, GameFAQs, why?!
