it’s v foggy in both, that’s what i mean; they’re both using the same sleight-of-hand. it’s not actually a fair comparison tho given the hardware+chronology.

Also never played a Zelda game after the 16 bit era because I didn't have the systems, I'm sure they're great though

a rare TOO HIGH!
FFT was my #1, and i'm violently angry that it didn't make the top 10, and that without my #1 vote may have sunk to even further levels of unjustified indignity
SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU

i will say that every single FFT ranking was higher than every single FF8 ranking but 9 notes is a lot of votes!

9 votes* is a lot of votes wtf
FFT was my #3, but i did vote for VIII instead of VII.

mario kart 64 seems to have been reevaluated as being the worst mario kart in recent years which, i dunno if i agree but the gamecube one is definitely way better

― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Friday, 13 November 2020 21:18 (three years ago) link
When compiling my ballot I had to weigh "good for it's time" with "something I would still play today." Mario Kart 64 definitely skews toward the former; this is especially tricky with entries in series that only were refined over time
― american primitive stylophone (zchyrs), Friday, 13 November 2020 21:20 (three years ago) link
Huh, I only have 5 definites left - starting to think that Spyro and Breath of Fire III might not make it.

seems unlikely to me that breath of fire 3 would be on here without 4 showing up

ive never been a zelda fan (altho ive never played majora's mask and i imagine that would absolutely be in my wheelhouse if i played it) and while i recognize this is a definite "TOO LOW" i would be lying if i said i didn't take a sick kind of pleasure in its placement

this seems too high for paper mario to show up but if it missed the list then that's a massive snub
― ciderpress, Friday, 13 November 2020 21:42 (three years ago) link
not that it is necessarily fair to compare majora's mask and ocarina as votesplit candidates but had their fans rallied around ocarina, it'd be #6 (so... not much of a move tbh, most oot voters also voted for mm)
votesplit victim i forgot to mention: wipeout xl could've finished in 11th, just shy of fft
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Friday, 13 November 2020 21:43 (three years ago) link
MM and OoT are such different beasts and I voted for them both. Trying to organize my thoughts & feelings about OoT is difficult. Also, it is like the video game equivalent of The Beatles in having been discussed to death; it's hard to know what else there is to say. That the title screen forgoes heroic fanfare in favor of Satie-esque melancholy was pretty unusual for the time and is sort of a microcosm of what this game does well.
― american primitive stylophone (zchyrs), Friday, 13 November 2020 21:46 (three years ago) link
otm, as is MM’s title screen forgoing music at all in favor of an ominous whoosh and inscrutable giggle
