BOTTOM 192 — Week 3 — Poll 9

[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 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’ll have to think about this one some.

FFXII is a better game in that it has more to offer than Shining in the Darkness. More gameplay, more story, more depth…but I’m still giving my vote to Shining. It’s much more charming and I’m sure I’ve got a bunch more hours into it as a result.

Very easy vote for FF12 from me on this one. Shining in the Darkness is a cute and charming entry in a long-established genre, but the strike against it for that is that there are more original/foundational games in the genre, as well as better games in the genre. So I can only really give it points for being a tangential Shining predecessor. Not enough to rise above the FF12 experience.
