#30 - Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
This is a very heartwarming game with a lot of emotional moments, charming characters, and a great sense of adventure. This game's world is so very well made, with one of my favorite World Maps in J-RPGs (if not my favorite), and a well developed lore with lots of details (for example, all the mini-stories you can read in the Wizard's Companion Book). The Pokemon-esque monsters collection is something that I enjoyed in this game, though I can see why it can be divisive. Also, I just love that visual style and the music.
#29 - Final Fantasy VII
This is a game with a lot of memorable story moments (which is something the old FF games were great at doing), and a well executed plot of self-discovery for the protagonist Cloud, I think his development is one of the best parts of the story. The ATB-based combat system is enjoyable, and the Materia system is really deep and very fun to play with. The amount of extra content in this game is amazing (I spent so many hours breeding Chocobos, and the Gold Saucer stuff can become addicting).
#28 - Super Mario Galaxy 2
This game refines the Mario Galaxy formula with even more interesting and brilliant ideas for level and puzzle designs, some of which involve the character Yoshi, who comes back after being absent in the first Mario Galaxy. I think Mario Galaxy 2 overall feels more tight and complex in terms level design than the first game, and I'd say less easy too (not particularly hard, but the first game sometimes felt waaaay too easy). Some may say that the lack of the Observatory is a negative, but this game's method for accessing the levels is way snappier.
#27 - Suikoden II
This game features one of my favorite stories in video games, not only it is pretty engaging and memorable, but the writing is legitimately brilliant, especially the whole dichotomy between the protagonist and Jowy, or the strategies that certain character comes up with to battle enemy armies. I also love the whole concept of getting different characters to join your army, since the sidequests you do to make them join can be pretty memorable and touching, and tell you their backstories.
#26 - Pokémon Platinum
My favorite Pokémon game, with the Sinnoh region being probably my favorite Pokémon region (or at least tied with Hoenn) due to its scope, its atmosphere, all the secrets you can find in it, and all the lore they built for it regarding the origin of Pokémon and space-time themselves and other stuff. I really enjoy the origin topics they touch in the main story, even if said story is relatively simple. The game is also brimmed with single-player content, with a whole new island to explore in the post-game (Battle Frontier included), and lots of secrets that the main region has for you to uncover. To finish, I want to say that Cyhthia is my favorite boss battle in the series. I'll just keep playing this and pretend the remakes don't exist.
