Best Game of 2024 Championship Match
Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth
vs
Metaphor: ReFantazio

Metaphor has dominated every step of the way to get here and hopes to become Atlus' second title to win GOTY. Rebirth has survived a close call against Astro Boy and hopes to do what FF7 Remake couldn't do!

Metaphor although I'm expecting Rebirth to take this pretty easily because it's GameFAQs and Board 8

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

I know it's cool to think you're rooting for the underdog but I feel like Persona type stuff is more a b8 thing than ff7 is.

It's probably like Phoenix Wright > Pokemon > Persona (b8 loves Ps)... and Final Fantasy MIGHT be #4...

Can't vote, could see it going either way but yeah.

FF7 is doomed to always be an obstacle for plucky underdogs to challenge, even it's potentially the weaker than its opponent.

Eh, FF7 won best PS1 game and FF10 won best PS2 game, beating two Personas. Persona 3 Reload lost miserably to Rebirth too, despite being a much better game.
