45th - Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (PS2, 2009)
One of the best examples of the modern day JRPG, Persona 4 is the latest entry in the famed Persona spinoff series of the MegaTen multiverse. With a pretty solid story, albeit not as good as it's predecessor's, Persona 3, amazing battle style with vastly improved control over the actions of the party, at the expense of overall difficulty, the same old, but still pretty good, Persona fusion system and a myriad of other parameters, Persona 4 stands at the top of the hill of any game in the MegaTen series.
Persona 4's take on the Social Link system, which is why the Persona series is a part Social Simulator, part RPG, is also the best on the series, now having the ability to actually progress in the game without having to sacrifice the RPG components such as building the strength of your team or completion of objectives and quests, was a very welcome sight in the series, especially after having gone through the gruelling calendar planning that Persona 3's Social Link required.
It also introduced some pretty amazing characters to the series, especially Rise, Kanji and Teddie, which all had a very deep and well thought character development and some interesting twists, teddie's one after the death of Nanako was especially good.
