I didn’t read this whole thread but didn’t anyone point out that SoulCalibur released for home consoles in 1999 and had a 98 on Metacritic and 40/40 in Famitsu(when that actually meant something)…

It was the clear GOTY at the time. I didn’t even know AOEII was regarded highly now.

The eligible year to vote for each game is based on the earliest release date including both format and region.  Soulcalibur first released in the arcade in 1998, so that would have been the year to vote for it.
