Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!
Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.
Polls are updated weekly, typically on Saturday... or Sunday or Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!
HOW TO VOTE
This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!
This is tough because I sincerely adore both games. I had to give the nod to Longest Journey. It’s just too much fun to write off. It’s the reason I keep playing Life is Strange games (trying to re-experience a game that cool…hasn’t worked but LiS are great, too).
No more nightmares, I’ve seen them all. From the day I was born, they’ve haunted my every move.
I played Phantasy Star IV during the late-PS2 era and really enjoyed it. It held up really well. I'm a little disappointed that sci-fi inspired RPGs aren't as common as fantasy (more phantasy please, less fantasy). Is Star Ocean finally a sci-fi RPG series now? The last one I played was 3... PSO games are somehow still alive - so the series' influence is just felt in different genres nowadays.
I tried several times but The Longest Journey never managed to grab my interest. Friends really recommended the game.
