I guess these aren't the most well known games, so time for some extra hints.

A) Not quite an unlimited saga, but pretty close.

B) This PS1 saga stopped using the Final Fantasy name for the first time in the western market.

43. 

A) Grasshopper Manufacture teams up with an old console company to reboot a classic jrpg

B) A Shining sequel with a lot of Soul for a GBA game.

#44: SaGa Frontier?

Correct.

This year I will post 1 hint and leave it up for 24 hours. After 24 hours I will reveal.

#50- Commit genocide against various animals, now in HD!
#49- An impossible to beat game, as the goal is your own. You can start as lowly baron or be an emperor, either way eventually you can certainly see the fruits of your labors.
#48- 10-15 people are introduced from an insane asylum, you must destroy your enemies to further learn about each individual.
#47- Unlike the previous games, this new game series from the same developers was set in Japan and featured deadly musketmen.
#46- The gist of this game is to build better castles than your enemies, because once you had a good economy and castle going, you can easily fend off any attack and build up for a devastating attack yourself.
#45- The first game I played on XBL, it featured online battles in urban settings, and one fun thing to do would be to destroy a building next to an enemy and the building would kill your enemy. Unlike the Halo series it did not receive many sequels.

50 Tokyo Jungle?

No, but one of the locales is like a jungle but more like an ancient forest.

#49: Crusader Kings?

No, but I will take it as it is Crusader Kings 2 :).

Probably not but Batman Arkham Asylum?

Really the only thing I can come up with for any of your hints I’m afraid.

No, that's okay though! Last time I participated I had to give up to 5 hints and even then people had to just google the random hints to find the answer haha, niche tastes are great. I think this year sticking with the 1 decent hint and reveal is fine :).

47. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice?

 

No, another good try. The reason I mention musketman, is because if you get hit by a volley of them you will be hurting, later games in the series nerfed ranged attack damage.

So no guesses yet I see. Another hint then;

#44: In this game you chose one of three paths through a cruiseship, but the memorable thing in this beat-em-up is that you can pick up pretty much anything in sight to use as a weapon; from actual guns and clubs to steel beams, chairs, plants, billboards and pieces of meat in the kitchen.
#44 (Hint 2): Kind of a no nonsense action game, much like Die Hard this game was supposed to licence.

This has to be Dynamite Cop

Yes!

I figured once I mentioned Die Hard someone would get it.

Guessed by Landale_Star

The SEGA Dreamcast quickly grew to be one of my favorite systems, because it got a slew of great games in a short period of time. 'Dynamite Cop' was one of them. The game is a mindless beat 'em up, with some great humour in it's setpieces and animation. The story is ridiculous, which fits the mood of the game. The player can chose three characters, and thereby chose one of three different paths through a cruise ship until they all reach the same end boss; a pirate captain that just does bad things because he can. All paths take you through different parts of the ship where you fight the pirate captain's henchmen. The best part of this game is that almost everything in the environment can be used as a weapon, either to smash or shoot your enemies with. While today there's many more games that feature interaction with the environment in varying degrees, back in 1999, this impressed me greatly.

I'll give hints for my next few games as well:
#43:
-A politically charged JRPG with a medieval setting on the PS1.
#42:
-A huge number of 2D indie platformers these days model at least part of their gameplay and world design after this SNES classic.
#41
-Maybe turning a section of the city into a prison wasn't such a good idea after all.

#42: Super Metroid

#41: Batman: Arkham City

Correct on both.

43. Final Fantasy Tactics?

42. Can't think of any examples so when in doubt, just go with Super Mario World.

41. Batman: Arkham City?

Correct on 41, though TruckoSaurus just beat you to it. The other two guesses are wrong. 42 is Super Metroid.

A week gone already.

#43: This RTS game takes place in the galaxy of a famous franchise. It is however, basically just a sprite-swap of another premium RTS game.

43:

Not sure if you count this as a jRPG, but Vagrant Story?

42:

Quite a potential selection. I'll go with Super Metroid?

Ok, well the only thing that comes to mind is Samurai Warriors then.
