FFVIII at #11
Fuck yeah! They get it!

 

[Sensei]

Xenogears at number 3 warms my heart.

 

[adamsapple]

Japanese readers would never call it "Yakuza".

 

[Mibu no ookami]

It's funny how much nostalgia drives this list and it tells you how old responders to the survey were, but I am happy to see Arc the Lad 2 so high up there.

 

[@gkTH]

Ok. let's remake again on the Playstation!

 

[Fbh]

Damn, Xenogears beting out every DQ and almost every FF.
I hope Square does something with it eventually. Even if it's just a basic port to modern platforms.

They voted for the wrong Ridge Racer

 

[xenosys]

The Japanese really don't think much of the PS3 or PS4 generation of games over there by the looks of it.

Also very JRPG-heavy which doesn't surprise me. 9 Square Enix titles in the top 20 as well.

Where is Lego Horizon?

 

[SweetTooth]

Looking at the list enforces how legendary PS1 was

 

[LordOcidax]

I knew that FF7 was going to take the top spot… And Square managed to ruin the game, amazing. I hope that some day the make a turn based remaster with just updated visuals.

 

[Little Mac]

Pretty good list and ranking. Learning drifting in Ridge Racer and striving for clean runs was so addictive back in the day. Ridge Racer and SSX were amazing palette cleansers in between JRPGs.

 

[Sojiro]

They voted for the wrong Ridge Racer

Yeah I couldn't put the 1st over any of the three later ones, especially rage racer or R4.

So many PS1 games on there brings some real joy to my heart. I wish FFIX was higher, but still a damn good list of games. I am also happy to see DQ VII make it in the top 10, that game is my personal fave of the series.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Last of Us is there but not FFXII?

lol, weeebs.

 

[Gaiff]

Japanese readers would never call it "Yakuza".

They also wouldn’t call it Resident Evil, but the names have been westernized.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Look at that, a good fucking list with the two best FF games on top.

 

[skyfinch]

Indiana Jones will soon become number 1.

 

[Hookshot]

Where is Lego Horizon?

Yesterday that had a low of 14 players on Steam at one point.
