Then MK8 is #15.

Seriously, do I need to spell out the games name?

game #15

Hint 1: Combine materials gained from slaying monsters to get magical stones.

Hint 2: It's a spinoff of a long-running series (that started in the 80s).

Hint 3: As you fulfill quests the tavern gets emptied.

Hint 4: Deep in the labyrinth is a ... waterfall?

Hint 5: What the hell happened in this Forsaken Land?

Hint 6: What Wizardry did you put in this tale by taking away your memory?

Hint 7: This PS2-game was published by a japanese company well-known for their RPGs, although the series it is a spinoff from is a western RPG.

Hint 8: Cast spells like Kreta, Zateal, Daiba and many more.

Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land

Finally someone got it, thanks. Were it the spell-names you remembered, or some other hint. Or the combination of them all.

It was a combination of hint 6 and 7.  I don't think I could get it based on the spell names, since I haven't played the series since #1 and #2, way back in the day.

Hmm, yes. As this wasn't be guessed, I gave with hint 5 and 6 the name of the game, and with hint 7 the genre, platform and hinting the dev. So with hint 8 I named something specific for the game. I dunno if any other game in the series used the same spell-names (the first Wizardries seemingly had different names).

14. Metal Gear Solid 2. I loved the boss battles in this game, and the story too. The Tanker mission was very excellent, probably one of the best starts to a video video game ever. This is one of the games I think that has gotten better with time with the War on Terror that has happened since, and the repeal of net neutrality.

Hint for #13: A game that revitalized a genre.

The boy, heir to the throne but hated by the king
Friendly neighbours prevent an assassination plot
The boy, young and naive
Little did they know, the boy will grow up to be no different
Seeking for power and destruction of the world
But, we don’t have to worry about this

Final Fantasy XV?

I could put down this game's most famous quote, but then everybody would immediately know which game I'm talking about.

Really? I thought this would have been in a second. Well then;

#14 - Hint 2

What if I told you it has something to do with barrels, but not really.

game #16

Hint 1: Sorry to keep you waiting.

Kid Icarus Uprising?

As correctly guessed by John19 my game #16 is Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Masahiro Sakurai is a genius in game design and this game is another testament to that ability. This was a bit of a surprise for me. I'm not too big into shooters and if I'm more into classical western shooters than the arcadey shooters, but this was simply so much fun.

The gameplay was working very well, but what really made it awesome was the great level design, the silly story and the endless comments of characters of all sorts in this game. Explained simply with that the angel can hear the gods and their servants talking, the game was filled with chatter with all sorts of guys, including the bad guys you just were going to defeat in this level.

The game is crammed with content. The adjustable difficulty with rewards depending on the chosen difficulty make replayability of the levels high. The seemingly endless amount of weapons make this even more great. Add to this the great implemented achievements (I wish many games would copy this system instead of simly putting a list of achievements) for more enjoyment. And a multiplayer mode. All this additional to the already extensive main storyline. This made the 3DS so much more valuable.

And following the storyline. Each level was distinctive, the bosses were interesting, the twist interesting. The "Sorry to keep you waiting." I cited was the first text and was a mention of how long ago the last Kid Icarus game happened (remember, that was even longer for the japanese people, as Myth and Monsters never reached Japan until on Virtual Console).

This game gave me many hours of enjoyment. If you own the 3DS and haven't tried this game yet, should give it a go.
