(3)Super Mario 64 vs (6)Final Fantasy Tactics 2015

Ulti's Analysis
There aren't many games out there that could blow out Final Fantasy Tactics without me getting upset, but Mario 64 is one of those games. I absolutely adore the Mario series, and if Mario 1 is the most influential video game of all time for saving the industry, then Mario 64 is probably the most influential 3D game of all time for pioneering the transition to 3D video games. I will always love Mario 64 and periodically replay it, and I can totally watch it blow out my favorite game ever and just tip my cap in respect.

Oh but Final Fantasy Tactics avoided the doubling after Mario 64 was over 70% at the freeze! Yeah! This actually was somewhat relevant, since it hinted at how Mario 64 would eventually lose and caused some minor Twilight Princess > Mario 64 hype. It had a rather predictable path until the final 8 of this contest, though that happens when you're far and away the strongest game in your division I suppose.

For the record, Final Fantasy Tactics is better than your favorite game. It has without a doubt the deepest and most replayable gameplay of all time. Only the Fire Emblem series comes even remotely close.
