Shows how limited in scope VGC is as a whole.

Yeah I can't say I agree with the top ten being 80% Final Fantasies and Pokemon.  

Final Fantasy is the second best selling  RPG franchise(1st Pokemon,2nd Final Fantasy, 3rd Dragon Quest cuz no one outside Japan buys that crap) period. It doesn't just sell cuz of it's pretty looks. It would only make sense they have some of the best RPGs around and most highly rated.


I'd argue that them being the best selling is why they so handidly won a list that was decided on by group voting because any group voting will turn into a popularity contest and the games that most of the voting populous played and enjoyed will get enough votes to get into the top ten, while games of similar or better quality but without the sales will never have a chance.  Yes they're great games, but there is more variety to the RPG genre than that top 10 is showing.
