I love it when people call their opinions definitive.

definitive, unequivocal
clearly defined or formulated; "the plain and unequivocal language of the laws"- R.B.Taney
authoritative, classical, definitive

of recognized authority or excellence; "the definitive work on Greece"; "classical methods of navigation"

 

 

Its MY definitive list.

A definitive asnwer is usualy a general answer , 2+2 =  is definetiley 4 . You said and I quote  "JRPG's Definitive list" , that at least implies you were  making a "consluvie statement" , "a definite verdict" about what the top 10 best JRPG's were.

Now if you had said "my definitive" JRPG list or "this is the definitive list IMO" , then you would have changed it to a subjective statement , which is totaly acceptable because gaming is a matter of taste.

What probably has annoyed many people in this thread is that you expressed your opinion as something factual , putting arguably poor games in favourable positions in your list.

 

 

My user name is JRPG. The title is "JRPG's definitive list". The apostrophe shows ownership of the list. I should not have to tutor you on basic grammar.

 

Maybe my username confued you.
