48th - Tales of Phantasia (SNES, 1996)
The only Tales of game in my list, Tales of Phantasia is an amazing RPG with one of the most thought provoking villains and endings that I've seen in a video game. The entire premise of your actions are based on the fact of overthrowing a tyrant which was only acting out in desperation of his entire planet, your final actions have a lot of weight and leave open a lot of questions that are only partially answered in future Tales of games. Having said this, the game did have a lot of pacing troubles, with a lot of void and meaningless tidbits in between some actual good story moments, plus it had a badly responsive and bugged battle system from time to time which annoying given the high difficulty of the overall battles (this issue was later resolved on the PSX version, with a much more responsive command input system and better animations).

      

I really need to play this again. I never got very far as their were other games to play but it's on my list of old games to play through properly.
