Top 10 RPGs, According to RPG Fans

Reposted from Sankaku Complex, for those who don't wanna deal with the NSFW-ness.

Japanese RPG fans quizzed about their favourite RPG titles have given a fair acquittal of their tastes, even if the list is predictably heavy on Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy at the expense of more original titles…

The ranking:
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've gotta say... I completely disagree with this list. The omission of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Skies of Arcadia, Breath of Fire II & III, Mother 2 and Final Fantasy IV disturbs me, and the admission of Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts II... It makes me lose faith in the RPG community as a whole.

Also, if they are going to allow non-traditional RPGs like Kingdom Hearts II and Fallout III, I also have to question where the hell Valkyria Chronicles, Front Mission, Tactics Ogre and various other superb TRPGs are.

The lack of Tactics Ogre - Let Us Cling Together in this list disturbs and angers me on a very primal level.

Fallout 3 made the list? Really? Seriously?

I'm completely surprised! Pleasantly surprised.

The lack of Tactics Ogre - Let Us Cling Together in this list disturbs and angers me on a very primal level.

Sadly... I've never played Tactics Ogre, yet I own both the SNES version of Ogre Battle and the Playstation version.

Wow, I know opinions vary, but this is not what I expected to see from the RPG community itself at all.

I started FFX last year... I'm still just waiting for the NPC to stop talking so I can do something already.

I've probably put too much time in FFX and even I know it's not supposed to be in anyone's Top 10.

I thought this was a Top RPG list...

[noiseredux]

personally, and I don't care if I get ex-communicated for admitting this, I don't really like much of the original FF series games post-VI.

I would definitely change this list. I'm disappointed that this list contains no entry from Breath of Fire series or Skies of Arcadia.
