Suikoden II to be precise, but that's close enough I'd say.

43 is Suikoden II so unfortunately no, 42 is correct but it was already guessed a bit earlier. I haven't actually played Vagrant Story, though it has been on my to-do list for a long time now.

Galactic Battlegrounds is correct!

A fast guess. I liked Age of Empires II a lot as well, but ended up playing Galactic Battlegrounds a lot more because that's all a friend of mine wanted to play.

Well Age of Empires II is fresh in my mind after the new definitive edition just released!

And I was in a similar situation. All my friends preferred to play GB due to the whole Star Wars link.

great soundtrack too.

#43 The Classic JRPG outside Nintendo Domain, second time

#42  modern Japan in a strange RPG

#41 The rare platform kinda is back but is the first one.

#40  Where are Demons Souls meet Japanese Mythos? 

Updated for three days since I worked all weekend and didn't have time to do anything else.

46. Tales of Vesperia (X360, Namco) - a gorgeous RPG that showed off Fujishima's art style, and a beacon of hope in a then dismal landscape for RPGs and Japanese games in general.

45. The Legend of Zelda (NES, Nintendo) - I played this new in 1987, and it was the most amazing game I could imagine at the time. Spent months on it and loved every minute of it, even when I was getting my ass kicked.

44. Joust (arcade) - One of my first two-player simultaneous experiences other than Pong. I used to play this with my sister.

Hint for # 43:

This game follows you from your childhood, to an adolescence spent in prison only to be released and given a choice between your childhood sweetheart and two debutante sisters for marriage, and then the lives of your children.

Hint for # 42:

A student with extreme social anxiety has his classmates and his girlfriend spend most of the game trying to get him to come out of his shell.

Hint for # 41:

The very first game to feature the brother of one of the biggest game characters in history. His personality was defined by a TV commercial for this game.  

Dune II?

42. Personna 5?

41. Yooka-Laylee?

40. Sekiro?

44. SaGa Frontier

This game is huge, maybe to a fault as it doesn’t seem very popular. But when I made a US account on my PS3 to play those PS1 games that never made it to the UK, this was a huge surprise. I already enjoyed the sequel and even the much maligned Unlimited Saga on PS2, but this game is the height of the Saga series for me. The game is enormous with 7 different characters, each with their own story, though there is some repetition as stories cross over. The ambition and open ended nature of the game really appeals to me and I never wanted this game to end. Like with most SaGa games, I enjoy the level up system, or the replacement of one, it's basically an adaptation of the system used in FF2 (which I also enjoyed). Just like most Square games, the music is great and I always have a soft spot for pre-rendered graphics from this generation so the game looks wonderful to me.
