Make a top ten list of any genre of game, and no matter what you say, people are going to get pissed off. I believe it's written somewhere in the rules of the internet. You MUST NOT like something different than what the majority likes or you are WRONG. I wonder if this is actually written somewhere, in some sort of epic internet bible?
Anyway, I spotted this top ten list of RPGs made by Japanese fans, and while a lot of my favorites are in there, I couldn't help but laugh at the inevitable sh*tstorm it's sure to cause. Here are the top ten chosen:
1. Final Fantasy X
2. Dragon Quest III
3. Final Fantasy VII
4. Persona 4
5. Kingdom Hearts II
6. Dragon Quest IX
7. Tales of the Abyss
8. Dragon Quest V
9. Chrono Trigger
10. Fallout 3
I'm always having to stick up for my love of Final Fantasy X and deal with being told what a piece of shit it is, so I admit I felt some weird vindication when I saw it on top of the list there. There's a lot of good games in here though, and I can definitely see how they would have made it into a Japanese top ten. What games do you think do not belong on the list? What games aren't there that should be?

It's saddening to admit that because of my age, the arcade boom in the west was long over before I was playing games. The idea of hanging out in a smoky room filled with bleeps and hums may not be too appealing to most people...
