If the entire list within the post gets irritating, I can take it out.
Ocarina of time should come in first, but oh well most new players haven't
played it also this was a pool for everyone not a elite so I guess that's
legitimate.
cool that RE4 appears in it though, as it sold poorly in japan
I'm pretty certain to say that there's not even one FPS on that list
at least one Star Ocean should be on the list :/ and it's a real shame that
Tales of Phantasia is nowhere to be found... even beaten by Eternia who isn't
that good to be honest.
Interesting that no western games (FPS for example) made it to the list. MS
should definitely take a look at this list. It will give them some obvious hints
that would be helpful when fighting Sony.
If I pick my top 100 games, I doubt any western games would be my top 100 except
for the ones made by blizzard.
I am suprised FFX is at the top. It's a good game, but not THAT good. It's
probably because it's relatively new.
I am really disappointed Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Symphonia made it to
the list. Lunar Silver Star Story and Eternal Blue should have been up there
too!
For me, I began to understand why God said in a South Park episode why japanese
does not have a soul.
I thank god that To heart 2 does appear there, since I got the game (PS2) and is
great.
i downloaded a sailor moon rpg from this web site my little brother found called
www.fantasyanime.com and the game is
so cool.there's this group of five girls and their called the opposite
soldiers/opposito senshi and their names are nabu,marduk,ishtar and nergal and
their leader is sin which has a little brother, anshar and he has a crush a
chibi-moon! their boss is apsu and together, they have the power to manipulate
time and change people's destinies. i did the entire game now, so cool!
Does anyone know what this list is based on? I'd like to know if sales entered
into it or if it was the opinions of the staff or of the gaming community at
large. I can't really agree with FFX being number one, while it's a great game
it's not that great in my opinion, but it's still a great list. I personally am
glad to see Xenogears high on the list, as American magazines really overlooked
it in my opinion. But in the end it's all a matter of preference I suppose.

Same here. I actually, in my
very own opinion don't think even a few games made directly by and only by North
America should be up there on the top 100 list, especially when it comes to
console games - hands down, of course. The American gaming media always
overlooks these rather than consider all the games released as a whole. Despite
that controversy and all the arcade games that never even was released into
North America [which would be unfair to critic which games are the best of the
best just by limiting worldwide popularity through the ideas of many
close-minded people, really] quite often the North American impression of what
games are the best for them against the Japanese impression would totally differ
in many circumstances, which is why I'm not at all too surprised why the list of
games are all coming from Japan. A lot of North American people actually do
prefer playing video games from Japan if they had the chance - the only sad part
is that a lot of them are missing out on many of these great games, really
[especially if they aren't released], and on a side note, I don't agree that
these games are the most accurate in measures of popularity / best games of all
time. I'm very happy to see Kingdom Hearts and Dynasty Warriors climb its way to
the top though. It's very interesting to see indeed, nonetheless.
Quote by beethoveni didn't like tactic
orge not a good enough game for me but it's #7 does that mean i have a bad
choice in games?
Nah just means we are humans. Everyone has their own opinions. I'm surprised FFX
is top I got bored of that game after like 2 hours into it. I don't know but I
liked FFIX's story more than FFX's.
No suprise to me on all of the FF titles up there. I was really hoping to see
Katamari Damacy somewhere so
sad. I also totally agree that tekken deserved to make the cut also. *sigh*
Hey, where the heck is Final Fantasy Tactics, one of the best RPGs of all time?
I think they should get their heads examinated if they didn't include it on the
list. Talk about injustice! >:(

FF and Zelda ftw
Bloody hell. Nearly all the Final Fantasy games are there. Im glad that that X beat VII. I cant stand 7.
Well, we obviously know what types of games the Japanese prefer. Look at all those RPGs in the top 10.
Why Final Fantasy VII is before IX?, that´s unfair
Is this in order? I can't believe FFX is top 1! No!

FFX is no1? That's a surprise.. even though it was quite hyped n' all, but still I thought that it would be some game that I've never heard of.
okay....FVII should be on da top!, wats it doin on on 2nd place......-_-''

Where is Vagrant story? well, after all it`s a poll, so this is a list of the most popular games, not the best ones.

Why is Grandia only in 73th and why there is not Grandia 2.
i didn't like tactic orge not a good enough game for me but it's #7 does that mean i have a bad choice in games?
haha my favorite game was FFX i absolutely loved that.. such a great story
what?! no tekken?!
Nah just means we are humans. Everyone has their own opinions. I'm surprised FFX is top I got bored of that game after like 2 hours into it. I don't know but I liked FFIX's story more than FFX's.
