Sadly nobody guessed Kid Icarus: Uprising, but everything else outside my TOP 10  is guessed, so I think it is time to show a breakdown of the current standing. Liquid_Laser is closely leading in front of Machina and Darashiva with as much correct guessed games as gamees stayed unguessed.

Well, time to break into the TOP 10 with hints:

#10: This D&D based classic (20+ years old) western RPG has colorful NPCs joining your party, that you can subsequently control in combat.

#9: This not that classic (10+ years old) japanese RPG has colorful NPCs joining your party, that you can subsequently control in combat.

#8: This old (20 years old) RPG is a japanese development in a western RPG series. As this matches multiples games in the series, look that I said 20 years, not 20+ years. Also it left Japan and released in the West.

#7: This RPG is a fresh reimagination of old RPGs, both visually and gameplay wise it merges old and new and that very well.

#6: This RPG is a fusion of two beloved series.

Hmm, it seems I have a pattern what games I like. I swear, my TOP 5 couldn't produce hints that would fit the pattern.

10.  Baldur's Gate

9.  Etrian Odyssey

8.  Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land

7.  Octopath Traveler

6.  Dragon Quest Builders 2

#10: yes

#9: no

#8: Yes!

#7: YES

#6: no, but keep the thought

Three out of five, not bad. This surely secures your lead. This is more astounding, as you only started guessing my games, after half of my list was through.

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.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

#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.

19. This game was very pivotal in the popularity of JRPG's

18. A Guard, a Troll and a Bandit hunt down a sorcerer in order to break an evil curse.

17. This game takes place in a fictionalized version of California USA. It is considered a mainline game despite not being a numbered title.

16. The composer who worked on this game also did work on Xenogears, Xenoblade, and Chrono Chross.

15. This game is the newest mainline entry in this series. One of the newest features is gliding.

Yes to all

Tokyo Mirage Session is correct, but I haven't played Paper Mario yet.

16: So, Yasunori Mitsuda. Doesn't really narrow it down very much considering the number of games he's worked on, but Chrono Trigger?

Yep, you got it
