Combat. The winner is Final Fantasy VII as it gets consistently higher scores. However only 4.63 % think that it actually has the best combat. Compared to the 9.30 % for IX (third place overall). Tactics also has 9.30 percent of the votes, yet it is the 22nd on the list.
Couldnt the results be acquired through a "Pick 5 favorites in order of preference" instead of "Rank all 28 of these options in the order of preference"? I would wonder if your results might be skewed a bit because of people like myself who only ranked a few then left the rest in whatever order they fell in. Or do you only really pay attention to the top 5 results anyway? I just feel the way you did it was a little overwhelming for choices, some of which werent well labeled (Sure I remember most of the Characters and what FF they were from but the Cid list was one I would have had to outsource, instead i skipped it altogether, skewing your results.)

You commented that even though Tactics is far down the list people still picked it and its among the top. Again, its only around the top because people like me went through and picked it but still only picked like the first 5 or so we liked then left the rest. Now i'm no survey expert or good at data collection and interpretation but as a survey form filler outer, you gotta take pity on us man...
