After a long, not very grueling seeding round, we’ve now assembled today to determine, once and for all time, which Final Fantasy video game will reign supreme. Who will take the illustrious crown? Will there be annoying sidequests along the way? Tedious card games? Worldbuilding that contradicts itself? Melodramatic-yet-charming storytelling?  Yes!

Let’s mosey.

GROUND RULES

• 48 games received at least one vote, therefore…
• This first round will consist of 32 games in 16 brackets, to face 16 games that received a BYE in the second round. A list will be provided.
• Feel free to have conversations in the brackets, but try to frame them as replies to avoid crowding the voting comments.
