Bottom 768 — Week 3 — Poll 20

Post by This Old Neon »

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!

I'm glad this is the NES version of Ultima IV, because it makes it easier to justify voting for Suikoden II.

I think I probably put S2 on a pedestal, but it's the perfect storm RPG for me; small scale where it matters, large scale ripple effects, strong emotional pulls, loosely based on Three Kingdoms (or its inspiration) and Water Margin. It also happened to come out at the right time for me.

Looking forward to the remaster and Eiyuden Chronicles in equal measure.
