40- Tactical JRPG set in China. 1st game in the series. The name is basically the old name + Tactics instead of the beat em up name.

37- 2nd game in a tactical JRPG series. The main character uses fists unlike most main characters in the series. The 7th game in this series recently released.

35- This game mixes a famous JRPG series and Dynasty Warriors, killing hordes of JRPG monsters never felt so good. Iconic monsters can be killed and the characters from all over the series can be played.

34- Same as 35, but 2nd game in the series. Basically more of the same but slightly better. In this one you can summon those monsters to defend a point or to help the offensive.

35/34) Ahh there's also Dragon Quest Warriors games right? Gonna guess those then

37) Probably Disgaea 2

35 Dragon quest Heroes indeed.

34 Dragon quest Heroes 2 indeed.

37 Disgaea2 indeed.

Fun fact / mini hint, 40 also starts with D. Crazy.

Guessed by @UnderwaterFunktown

This year, I watched my closest friend finish his playthrough of this game, and his distaste for a lot of its issues reminded me of how I felt when I played it for the first time, thus lowering my opinion of it a bit. As much as I want it to get a beautiful remaster like its predecessor did, Prime 2 would be best suited for a remake that's more willing to change the game in order to make it better - crucially, the very flawed Dark World, a great idea that wasn't executed very well, largely due to how much this game was visibly rushed. I just wonder, if it was given maybe just another year in development back then, Echoes might've been one of the best Metroid games, if not the best altogether. Everything it does well is so good, the atmosphere, the worldbuilding and storytelling, the insane map design and interesting power-up ideas, everything about it just feels so Metroid.

Guessed by @Machina

I'll always recognize how good this game is, I fully understand how its dense atmosphere and challenging storylines impacted so many people so deeply. Last year I felt very impacted by it too when I watched a playthrough of it - however, I never seem to find any willingness to actually play it myself. I don't think it's my kind of Zelda game, I tend to like the more light-hearted or the more "classic" entries in the series rather than the "weird" ones, but still, Majora's Mask is totally amazing.

Let's get three hints in here.

#27 - Any objections, Lady?
#26 - This platformer is most famous for a mechanic where you can launch yourself off of objects, enemies or projectiles.
#25 - This game was heavily criticized for its graphics at the time, but now the rendering techniques used in it are commonplace.

#25 has to be Windwaker.

Still three games left unguessed

#24

-Final part of the Erebonia arc...

-...which follows the Liberl arc...

-...and is happening concurrently with the Crosbell arc.

#22

-Set in a kingdom once ruled by The Pale King

-Features several different endings, but the true ending can only be achieved by unveiling the source of the sickness plaguing the kingdom

-The source is The Radiance

#21

-Picks up a month after the previous game, with the main character finding himself in the middle of a civil war between the Noble Alliance and the Imperialists

-The first part of the game consists of you traveling around the empire searching for your companions from the previous game

-The same series as #21

Excellent hint there :D

I think you meant 24 and they sound like Trails games. I'll give it a shot:

24) Trails of Cold Steel IV

21) Trails of Cold Steel II

I probably know 22 but I can't pinpoint it exactly. I'll go with Hollow Knight
