About the finalists

The finalists were determined by nominations submitted by 1,590 people, including KupoCon attendees and Final Fantasy fans who took part online. They reflect the community’s nominations and were not hand-picked by KupoCon.

Each category features between eight and ten finalists. Eight is the standard; additional finalists have been included where their share of nominations was sufficiently close to the qualifying entries, up to a maximum of ten per category.

Numbered Final Fantasy games are listed in numerical order; other finalists are listed alphabetically.

Choose one finalist in each category you wish to vote in. You may skip categories. Submit one ballot per email address.

Voting closes at midnight at the end of November 24, 2026 — Atlantic Standard Time (Halifax, UTC−4).
