Fynn's Top 25 games

[Fynn]

Since there have been a lot of these lately, I've finally decided to do one of my own. Hope this goes well!

A couple things to note. Yes, the vast majority of these are going to be JRPGs, but I'm still not putting it in that section, since there's a couple of games that I really want to talk about that are not RPGs. Don't expect these games to be super obscure or anything I also can't limit myself to one game per series, since there are some series where I love several games for wildly different reasons, so expect to see more than one FF, KH or SMT on this list.

Right! Spot #25 coming up later today, so for now, all bets are off as to what games will be on this list Hope you guys are gonna have as much fun reading this as I expect to have writing this!

EDIT: Here's a handy list of the entries so far!

• #25: "Adam did not eat the apple because he desired it. He ate it because it was forbidden. Now the apple has been set before all of you. Eat well!"

Oh, how well you know me

Also, keep in mind I love all the games that will be listed, so don't go saying "why the hell is this so low", because the very fact that the game is here means that that game is still very close to my heart. Also, I had to cut so many games that I adore, that's why, before revealing my number 1 spot, I will do an "honorable mentions" thing where I'll list the games that almost made it and why they had to be cut.

Now by the time I make my list, people are going to be sick of these

Considering all the lists I've made since my Top 20 I doubt this is ever going to happen.

Fynn, I bet I never heard of or played half the games on your list. What do you want to bet?

[Pumpkin]

Mine is going to be a Top 100 or so. At least Top 80, so it'll be a good bit larger. But I personally always love these because people usually write out good reasons for liking/disliking a game that I always find interesting to read.

Especially if it's a game I don't like that they do, because then I can see the game from the other perspective of "This game is good and here's why", instead of myself going "I didn't like this game and here's why". Lets me see the game in a different light if that makes sense

I wouldn't be so sure of that I think you should at least have heard of most, even in passing. I'm not really one to dig up obscure games.

And Pumpkin - I hope my list does just that, give you a new perspective! Also, perhaps even convince you to try some I'll be sure to use spoiler tags, or avoid spoilers entirely, because I think all these are too good to miss.

[Ayen]

We'll see. I am the King of not knowing about games that everyone else knows.

[Fynn]

I think you're at least acquainted with the three series that will be dominating this list

[Pumpkin]

I'm almost 100% that (SPOILER)Xenoblade will be near the top of this list

[Ayen]

If Fynn makes us wait too long I'm pulling out a certain Monty Python sketch. Don't make me do it, Fynn!

[Fynn]

Patience is a virtue, my dear Tori It'll be worth the wait, though!

[Pumpkin]

Waiting

[Wolf Kanno]

I'm almost 100% that (SPOILER)Xenoblade will be near the top of this list

I'm betting on it being number one actually.

My list started off as a fun diversion from making my Top 25 JRPG list which itself was spun off from an aborted Top 100 List. I can narrow down the game but ranking them proved to be too much of a pain.
