45- This JRPG kind of popularized a new sub-genre.
44- This is the 3rd entry in the main series, but there were plenty of handheld games released in between, it featured the conclusion to the first arc of the main story.
43- One of the surprise entries from 2022. While an extremely easy game with its strategical gameplay, still it had quite the interesting story and some of its design choices were used in FFXVI.
42- This Jrpg singlehandedly carried the series forward due to the popularity of the cover character.
41- This is my cheat JRPG, because it is more strategy than JRPG (thus loses spots on my top 50 JRPG list) but you can still level up your army in battle.

45: Could be a lot of things I guess, but Final Fantasy Tactics?

44: Kingdom Hearts 3?

45: No, Correct answer given by The_Liquid_Laser as Dark Souls, for popularizing Souls like games.

44: Yeah

Honestly this game could have been a FF game, but instead had its own lore. The continent in the game is featured in the title.


42- This Jrpg singlehandedly carried the series forward due to the popularity of the cover character.
It released late for its system but still revitalized the console for a few more years yet.


41- This is my cheat JRPG, because it is more strategy than JRPG (thus loses spots on my top 50 JRPG list) but you can still level up your army in battle.
In order to level up, you must deal the finishing blow, and the game can be quite difficult, so you can't really make a certain unit stronger and one weaker as all units available will be needed in every battle. But you can team up on enemies, so sharing the last bits of an enemy by surrounding them can be effective.

Yes, that's correct. I don't think anyone got this last year, so I'm glad it got guessed this time round.

I didn't do this last year.  I know a fair amount of older games that other people might miss.

Ok, here are some clues for my games:

50.  Classic anime character on the Gameboy Advance.

49.  This game was based on a comic book and originally available only as a digital download.

48.  This indie game gives you a reward for beating a level fast.

47.  The second gold box game.  Not Zelda.

46.  Just when you think you might be near the end of the game, the world turns upside down.

Nope.  I am actually not into games that have a first-person perspective.
