From: janembaman | #128tbqh as a FFVII fan I feel kinda betrayed
FFVII fans want a remake for years,they even made a tech demo to "tease" FFVII fans to make it even more annoying
There is just no reason whatsoever to not remake FFVII
All the previous FF games were remaked (or at least ported with improvments) and yet they don't want to do the same with FFVII
It's been 5 years with no remakes (Final Fantasy Advance VI) with the exception of FFIV that was remaked twice recently

I don't feel betrayed by Pokemon as the series continue to be good and they keep releasing new games that are usually good
The only times I feel "betrayed" is when they announce a new game and then it's something stupid like PokePark 2 or that recently announced crossover game


lol

I'd feel betrayed if my series released progressively worse rehashes every 2 years to try to appeal to my OCD tendancies to "catch them all". At least FF7 has the dignity to release original sequels/prequels (even if some of them suck lol Dirge of Cerberus)

Not sure what's up with the doom and gloom. I still think Cloud comes back with the SNV. The ASV hasn't done much so far.

Trainers have gained 150 votes in a half an hour and likely won't slow down anytime soon. Cloud should win SNV but at this pace he might be dealing with a 800-1000 vote deficit.


Hate to say it, but

lol

Well I'd love it if I do turn out wrong. Its still too early to say the Trainers still aren't the favorites here, though.

-edit-

Especially now that they gained back like almost everything Cloud cut in the last 2 updates

55% is likely if there was no SFF factor involved because Mario/Bowser Indirectly are worth that much.

Regardless of the strange past half hour, trainers are going nowhere with this lead. If thats the best they've got with the day vote I doubt its enough. Or pokemon will just rally its way to a close win at the end, which is probably more likely.

Heh. Cloud coming back from this would buck every trend in the book. The Trainers probably don't increase their lead much if at all, but they don't need to. The SNV favors the ASV a lot these days.

nah, Cloud and trainers have pretty equal day votes, really. Pokemon the games have a good day vote, but the trainers are pretty average outside of the insane early vote. it's like Samus.

most interesting part of this match: Cloud is probably winning if brackets were on the line.

That's how bad this contest has been. 60k is abysma, i'm sorry but i remember Zelda/FF and it's over 170k Votes or something like that.

IF Allens aim was to increase Traffic on this site and make more money...well this contest has failed.

If you compare this match to the Trainers/Fighters, it is definitely possible. This match might even have a diluted ASV, but I don't think it has much of an effect on the projections here. Even then, the match being close is going to get more people interested in voting here (if they haven't already voted).

I won't necessarily say they win, that depends if people start caring/rallying. But FFVII will make this interesting.

There's a cut. Cloud won the last hour by over 100 votes and the last hour and 10 minutes by 140. I don't think rallying would really start till the final hour and Cloud could easily have like a 200-300 vote lead by then.

Yeah, trust me this board cares no matter what. FF7 isn't exactly something that you want to rally for, you know. Phoenix's victory a couple of years back is a good example of the sway who this board wants to win being able to pull it out in the end, not to mention Frog's accolades.

Man, I can't believe it took until the bonus match to bust out the Tiger GIF. That tells the story of the contest right there.

Also, with as frontloaded as Pokemon is and how everything goes against FFVII at the beginning, even a legit ASV probably doesn't help Pokemon out here very much.

I don't think this match has really defied trends that much. Pokemon opened with a huge board votes, Cloud dominated the fight night vote followed by both going roughly even during the day. However it is rare that we see characters with such extreme trends in a match together. That board vote was just crazy considering Cloud/Sephiroth and Red/Blue are roughly equal in strength.
