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!

Final Fantasy III is a bananas game. First game to really take the foetal job system from the original FF and turn it into a whole compelling system with mechanics. I can only imagine it's down here in the lowers because it's a Famicom game that not many people played.

I played a DS version of it - is that basically the same game?

I can't say that it is. The DS version is 3Dified, obviously, and it also felt like a long, long grind. The NES version is kind of like the same game but in the original NES FF1's engine. Progression & storywise it is pretty much similar. It's very much a proto-version of FF5. Like 8-bit FF5. Some like it better than FF5.

Close enough to sway my vote!
