Any and all lists without The Legend of Dragoon are objectively wrong and thereby void.

Just void? Not null and void?

Unlike the VGC greatest games event, this one is actually doable for me. I'm going to try to participate, and this post signifies that intent, as well as serving as a reminder. And I will NOT use this space to create my list, instead making a new post for extra VGC points.

Yep, just realized this may be messy. For the last decade or so, I'm usually playing games from previous years. Take 2020 for example. I have played 23 different games, and not one of them is from this year, ranging from 1982 to 2018. Anyways, glad I could clutter up the thread for nothing.

Doing the greatest games event actually makes this a lot easier though.

I've got my 50 greatest games in a spreadsheet so just had to sort by year and then ranking to find my best game from each year.

Yeah, it definitely would have made completing this list a snap.
