TLS Community Playthrough 2017 - Tiebreaker

I hate this 'winner takes all' philosophy.

 

[AvecAloes]

TACTICS YEAH BOOIIIIIII

 

[Flare]

Could do two playthroughs of two games at the same time

I hate this 'winner takes all' philosophy.

There's always next time. Most games we've chosen for Community Playthroughs have finished second in a poll before winning later on. That was the case with Final Fantasy VIII, Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy V, which came second a ridiculous three consecutive times before winning.

X now has the second-most cumulative votes of any game not to have been selected. XII is in first place in that count but has never finished higher than third in an individual vote/nomvote.

Yes, I made a spreadsheet, yes, you can see it, and yes, I know I'm a nerd.

Note that I only included the first round of voting this year, and that there was no vote for our first two* playthroughs, which were VI and VII.

* Mog started a VII community playthrough but didn't complete it; I then restarted and finished it. I think we should count it as one complete playthrough, even though it took place across two years.

Iiiiiiiiite my lovebug I need to find a way to get a copy of War of Lions to play on PSP.

 

[Jason Tandro]

We will do another community playthrough in July and I will Champion the hell out of X to make sure you all get a chance to play. Just hang on for 6 more months!

Also Carlie had a cool idea for a side-playthrough thing, maybe on a lesser tier than the traditional community playthrough. A playthrough of a specifically non-FF game. Thoughts?

 

[ForceStealer]

Nice, I'll be working on my prep work

While I don't have a problem with concurrent playthroughs conceptually, historically it's not been easy to keep people even focused on one play through, lol

 

[lithiumkatana17]

And they just released War of the Lions for PSP on the SE store for the 30th event at a whopping $9.99.

Guess I have no choice.

 

[Flintlock]

I'll be playing the War of the Lions version as well. On an Android emulator. I mean, I have an Android phone too, but I ain't playing no Final Fantasy games on a 4.7 inch screen.

 

[Joe]

I might get the android version to join in, if it's a decent port. Must research.

 

[Kionae]

Well, I found my copy of Tactics, so I guess I'll join in on this one.
