My #42 was Final Fantasy X, the first of a fair number of Squaresoft/Square Enix games to grace my Top 50.

My #41 is a JRPG that came out this year, but not from the Square Enix empire.

Ni no Kuni?

No

Shin Megami Tensei IV

Yes.

 

One of the few totally new games of 2013 to make my list, SMT4 has almost everything I could want in an RPG of its type. A great story with pertinent themes, an interesting world to explore, deep gameplay, hundreds of playable characters, dem graphics and music, etc. Honestly, it would be much higher on my list, on the top 20, if it weren't for one single factor: the main characters. They are simple, one-dimensional, and uninteresting. Worse, you have to spend a fair amount of time with them. They aren't abysmal, but they are definately the game's weakest point. Also, the beginning is a bit slow.
