A highly praised JRPG (and by highly praised I mean considered one of the best JRPGs ever by numerous outlets and players) on both the Wii and soon-to-be Nintendo Switch (with extra story content) struggling with a game on the PS2 after next gen finally took hold and was basically dead outside of sports games and the Vita, a handheld that never got traction and was left to die by its manufacturer

This is fucking embarrassing from Xenoblade. That's the nicest thing we can say about this performance, rallies or not. It never should've been close enough for small rallies to matter.

Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket.

I mean, you realize that P4 is one of the most highly regarded JRPGs of the last 15 years right

Man you really have no idea how big the Persona name is nowadays, do you?

This franchise put out a fucking dancing game that did gangbusters.

Sorry, 3 of them.

Persona 4 Golden - 93

Xenoblade - 92

Using scores and "highly praised" isn't really an argument in favor of Xenoblade here

It was said to me before in one of the previous topics where I expressed surprise in P4 doing anything besides rolling over, but I still find it hard to believe since I never actually heard anything about it outside of people complaining that Atlus kept milking the game instead of making P5.

Remember that time CD Project Red publicly told people to go vote for Geralt in a character contest?

If they wanted to they could make Witcher 3 win at any time.
Sure, but it's not like there was a Character contest here they could have totally influenced, but really didn't.

Persona is pretty much the biggest JRPG franchise of the last 15 years in terms of reviews and sales. I was actually surprised Persona 4 wasn't a bigger deal here with how big its become among gamers.

I'm obviously aware of P5's success, but that usually doesn't matter for older games in series on this website.

Oh well, consider me educated now, I guess! Unless someone wants to get the ball rolling on Xenoblade focused forums/websites, P4 is going to advance.

So, if it turns out Persona 4 halts right now for the next hour, we may have witnessed the biggest rally choke job ever.

Because one rally guy either couldn't tell time, or tried a gambit for "last minute" votes that backfired spectacularly.
