I'll continue with my list:

#30 Pokémon Platinum - My favorite pokémon game, I love the Sinnoh region and the champion battle is easiliy one the best and most challenging of the whole series. The game is packed with a lot of post-game content and it feels like the definitive pokémon experience to me.

#29 Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time - My favorite Ratchet game, not only it has the characteristic humor and fun gameplay of the series, but, differently to the other games, you can actually explore the outer space between the planets, where you'll find planetoids which feature different stuff to do, including some of the best platforming challenges in the series. Also, it has my favorite story from all the Ratchet games.

#28 Final Fantasy VII - This game has a lot of memorable moments and a nice cast of characters. I felt really sad when Aeris died. The materia system is very well done and the battle system is fun even if the game is not super challenging. The amount of side content that this game has is incredible, with stuff like fighting the Weapons, the Gold Saucer, chocobo breeding (I spent lots of hours breeding chocobos...), as well as all the stuff you can find in the world map.

#27 Suikoden II - This game's writing is top-notch, it particularly amazed me how brilliant were Shu's strategies in the battlefield. I love all the things that you can do in your castle and how the castle develops as you add more characters to it. The sidequests that you do to get more characters to join your army are also really good.

#26 Final Fantasy X - Really memorable and engaging story, that kept me wanting to know what would happen next. Game has one of my favorite turn-based battle systems in any j-rpg and the visuals and music are incredible, though I wish the level design felt less linear and it had a proper world map. 

#25 Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door - Such an amazing ride that feels like grand adventure through a world with lots of unique and unconventional locations that don't feel like the typical Mushroom kingdom (typical jungle/ desert/ snow/ lava worlds), heck, you even visit the frigggin' moon and a floating battle dome. The game's characters are all very charming and unique, with Vivian being my personal favorite. The battle system is amazing like in the first game.

#24 Super Mario Galaxy - This game really wowed me the first time I played it and the concept of travelling through space with Mario was truly breathtaking. The levels are overall very well designed, with the Gusty Garden Galaxy being my favorite. The music and visuals are just top notch.

#23 Super Mario 64 - Another game that amazed me the first time I played it. Even though the game is from 1996, it doesn't feel dated at all, Mario's set of movements is incredibly varied and allows you to tackle the levels in many different ways. It's just a joy to control Mario in this game. The freedom of exploration and the variety of levels are other aspects of this game that I absolutely adored and the soundtrack is amazing.

#22 Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - This game is just so full of charm, the story had many moments that touched the most sensible strings of my heart, there was certain event at the start of the game that really made me cry ;_; The game's world is so very well done, with a great variety of locations and a feeling of adventure that is just incredible, also, I think the Wizard's Companion book is a really nice touch that allows you to learn even more about the world. Overall, Ni no Kuni has my favorite classic world map from any j-rpg. I love the game's art-style and the soundtrack is just outstanding, dat overworld music.

#21 Final Fantasy IX - This game has one of my favorite casts of characters from any j-rpg ever, with Zidane being my favorite Final Fantasy protagonist. The story has so many epic and memorable moments and I really liked the romance between Zidane and Garnet, I think they're my favorite couple from video games. The game's ending is really amazing and I thought Kuja was a very good villain. Another thing that I love about this game are the Active Time Events, which I found to be a really nice touch that let's you know more about the characters.
