PSXE's Best Of The Best Polls Update: Final Fantasy VII Dominates

Final Fantasy VII

Okay guys, voting has officially ended for the first round of PSX Extreme's Best of the Best Poll: PS1 RPG. As just about anyone could've guessed, one game above all others ran away with it in the first round, and will most certainly do the same in the second round. But these are equal opportunity polls, so get over it. :)

For the final numbers, you can visit the official discussion thread in the forums, and kick off a spirited debate. They're always fun, right? Anyway, we now have the top 5 RPGs that have successfully made it into the second round, and will duke it out to determine the final results. In the spirit of the Olympics - and just 'cuz we don't think enough competitions hand out Gold, Silver and Bronze medals - we'll recognize the top three finishers. And the interesting part about this first poll is that the fifth and final spot was determined by a difference of only 2 votes! Here are the finalists and seedings for the second round:

1. Final Fantasy VII

2. Final Fantasy VIII

3. Final Fantasy IX

4. Final Fantasy Tactics

5. Chrono Cross

Yep, Chrono Cross beat out Xenogears by only two votes, and obviously, this is a total Final Fantasy sweep thus far. But it was also very close between CC and Final Fantasy Tactics, and another relatively close race between FFVIII and IX. The Gold is assured, but it'll be a battle to determine the other medals! Let Round 2 begin NOW!  A total of 1301 votes were recorded for Round 1, let's see if we can get that number even higher as the series progresses. :)
