Final Fantasy Music Game 2017


Recommended Posts

Hi!  I'm porting my Final Fantasy music game over to DM again this year.  I run this on another forum every year, and last year I decided to copy it over to here too and add up all the votes between both sites.  Have fun.  :smile:

This is a Final Fantasy music knock-out game.

128 songs from the main Final Fantasy series (1-15) will be randomly paired head-to-head. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to pick a winner in each pairing.

* You can vote periodically or choose all 64 at once. I will be posting the match-ups in groups of 8 every few days with direct links to Youtube, but you can find the full first-round pairings in a spoiler tag below and search them yourselves. I will edit this when the first round ends, so it's safe to assume all Round 1 voting is still open. All brackets (A-H) will remain open until r2, so feel free to go back and vote if you missed one.

* The first round will remain open at least until 5 people vote (combined between both sites).

* This year, Final Fantasy XV will make its first appearance, with 3 tracks advancing out of the qualification round. Additionally, 7 tracks from other games in the franchise have qualified for the first time. In total there are 22 entries in this year's game that did not appear in 2016.

* Tracks will be listed with their cumulative total votes through 2016.

* There is absolutely no standard criteria for voting.

* In the event of a tie, the statistical underdog always wins.

If you're curious, last year's winner was Final Fantasy IX - Vamo Alla Flamenco.
It beat Final Fantasy XI - Ronfaure 4-3 in the finals.
The semi-finalists were Final Fantasy VI - Opening Theme and Final Fantasy VIII - The Extreme.
Walking the Snowy Mountains (FF5), Still More Fighting (FF7), Valley of the Fallen Star (FF7), and Awakened Forest (FF9) made it to the quarterfinals.

If you're curious about the cross-site totals, I currently have 8 voters for 1A and 6 for 1B. Somewhere between 6 and 8 is pretty much the norm from past years, so it's going as smoothly as I could have hoped. :)

Steiner's Theme (FF9, 7) vs Birth of the God (FF7, 24)

Fealty (FF14, new entry) vs The Lunarians (FF4, 14)

I should mention while I'm thinking of it: if you want to change a vote you're more than welcome to until Round 1 is over, but please make a new post for it rather than editing an old one. I can't guarantee that I'll catch an edit.

 

you evil man, who's making me choose between these two !!!!

Meant to respond here: Random.org, but there's a catch. I track which tracks got paired each year, and no two tracks will ever face each other in round 1 twice. In other words, if a great song has to square off against Dancing Mad this year, at least they'll never have to endure that again.

Slam Shuffle (FF6, 10) -- I was feeling this track in the buildup to launching this. Tough rand, but I'll give it some love.

Castle of Hain (FF3, new entry) -- And another really tough one....

The Mines of Narshe (FF6, 12) -- I've gone full in with FF4's Main Theme every rumble so far and watched as Mines of Narshe somehow managed to never clear the round of 64. Going with another underdog pick here.

Eternal Wind (FF3, 8)

Opening Theme (FF6, 61) -- This was the highest profile match-up of the first round, rank-wise, I think. 3rd place all-time vs 7th.

Gustaberg (FF11, 4)

Starlight Celebration (FF14, 7) !!

The Decisive Battle (FF6, 47)
