More hints:

9.  a)  This is the first time an entry of this handheld console game was released in North America.  However the series started in Japan over a decade earlier.
b)  Once your character is named, its going to stay that name.

6.  This game can feel both old school and Western, but it's a PS3 game made by a Japanese developer.  First in the series.

5.  Some people call this the best game in a very old and popular series, even though it's actually a spinoff game.

4.  The main thing I liked about Master of Magic is creating a powerful party of heroes and elite troops to go around conquering cities.  Then this game released and made Master of Magic obsolete for me.  Second in the series.

#6: Probably Dark Souls

#4: Well, there are a lot of games that took elements of MoMa, but I think that might be Heroes of Might and Magic II.

both correct!

I played through HoMM2 again in the past year.  I now realize what I like so much about it.  It's the main campaign.  They did an awesome job on both the good and evil path in the main campaign.  I enjoy playing the expansion campaigns too, but they are not nearly as good as the main campaign.

I say this because, I think HoMM3 really does have better mechanics overall.  However, I like the main campaign so much in HoMM2, that I end up preferring that game, even though both are very good.

Nope.  Mnementh already got it.

Entering the top 10.

13) The one game in this series that has a lot of cutscenes

Hint 2: It's a series that's usually mostly about multiplayer

Hint 3: Particularly local multiplayer, this was the first game to introduce online.

12) Ended on a heartfelt note

Hint 2: I'm not referring to the ending of the game's story

Hint 3: The word heart is the key.

10) From Amaterasu to Sif to Zamazenta, blade wielding dogs seems to repeat.

9) When you wish upon a star...

Both 12 and 9 sound like Kingdom Hearts to me.
