Most of them aren't the best games I've ever played, but I believe they are the ones that shaped my preferences.

Chrono Trigger: Sparked my love for turn-based RPGs. Building a party and strategizing—it all started with Chrono Trigger.

Diablo 2: The game that taught me the joy of creating my own character and build. The pleasure of replayability—playing through with completely different characters and strategies.

Pokémon Yellow: Pokémon—a love-hate relationship. It used to be central to my entertainment—tournaments, card games, the Smogon community, hundreds of hours of fun... now reduced to a bunch of trash games... it's sad.

At least I can still play on Smogon, and enjoy the card games and mobile titles...

Kof 97: My love for fighting games was born here. It all started in arcades with ten-cent tokens.

Mega Man X: My love for action side-scrollers. Any game involving a knight, ninja, combat robot, vampire slayer, or wizard... it all started here.

Res 4: The game that sparked my passion for games with an over-the-shoulder camera perspective.

Fate/Grand Order: The game that broke down my prejudice against mobile games! I’ve been playing it for over 10 years now!!! Not to mention all the other mobile games I play.

Dark Souls: Soulslikes! What began in Diablo II found a home here, took on a new form, and became very special!

Monster Hunter World: I had "danced" with Monster Hunter before but never truly fell in love with it. That all changed here! Much like with Dark Souls, what originated in Diablo II found a new form here and became something very special!
