Hint for #34:

This wonderful RPG blends golden-age Final Fantasy and Zelda gameplay to great effect.

Golden Sun? (Zelda like Dungeons, "Golden Age", Turn based RPG)

Bingo. I love Golden Sun. The battle system has a lot in common with FFVI, and using magic spells like action/adventure tools an obvious design decision that most other RPGs don't use for some reason.

If the intro wasn't so long and dull, I'd probably put Golden Sun in my top 25.

I'm going to say that I did once think about this game but this one hardly seems Zelda like.  It's mostly normal dungeons with very light usage of the telekenesis skill. 

Anyways, good game.

Maybe you remember the game differently from me. For one, the game's puzzles often extended beyond the usual dungeon (there's a fair amount of optional mini dungeons, too), and in many cases, dungeons introduce a new skill necessary to progression, much like an action/adventure game. It also encourages Zelda-like backtracking for 100% purposes (btw, Golden Sun is one of the few game I've ever bothered to 100%).
