Oricon's top 5 tearjerker RPGs (from Japanese gamers)

I can't get enough of these lists from Oricon. Top 10 Gravure models, freshest young stars, and more -- they're just so much fun to discuss! The IGN list of the top 25 anime characters of all time really got us all talking recently, so I thought I'd share another list: the top 5 tearjerker RPGs. Here they are according to Oricon:

1. Final Fantasy X

2. Dragon Quest V

3. Final Fantasy VII

4. CLANNAD

5. Mother 2 (EarthBound)

This is the second list of this type that has been topped by Final Fantasy X (here's the first), and I've been surprised to see it both times. It's easily my favorite title in the series, and I'm used to listening to people heap hatred on me the moment I say so. I guess I ought to find Japanese Final Fantasy friends to talk to.

Of course, the others are killers too. I've only finished Dragon Quest V and Final Fantasy VII on that list (I'm ashamed to admit I have not finished Earthbound). And I have never played CLANNAD. What RPGs made you cry? Are any of them on this list?
