is 4 Dark Souls?

It is indeed.

I just realized that I will be gone until New Year's Day. So this all you guys get for hints

9- Going from a futuristic beach world and crashing into a medieval world.
The Kingdom of Airglyph is at war with Aquaria. A dragonrider leads Airglyph, but eventually you can recruit him.
8- Digimon game with 3v3 JRPG battles and a nifty fusion system.
The 2nd game to release for PS1
5- A remake of a cult classic. It however only includes a small portion of the story.
4- A game set in late 1500s Japan. The player is half yokai and can use a variety of demon skills as well as different weapons and magic.
3- The first Digimon game to release for PS1. Most of the game is about raising digimon and freeing digimon.
2- Maybe I'm a Lion
1- Listen to my Story

Half-Life 2 is correct! #8 is something different. Right genre, though.

Oh, #8 is easy. That's Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)...right? Project Rainfall back in 2011-2012, Xenoblade 1+2+3, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition comes out March 22nd...unless there's another franchise that managed to perfectly match your criteria lol.

Correct!

Change YoY: =   My Rating: 9.7 / 10

I remember buying a PS3 in the summer of 2007 mostly for the promise of something great to come later, and then spending much of the following year and a half looking for games to play on the thing. The early parts of the console's lifecycle were quite barren as far as high quality games were concerned. Titles like Assassin's Creed and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune were fine enough, but I wouldn't consider either among my favourites on the console, so it wasn't until the release of Valkyria Chronicles in late 2008 that the first truly great game was released on the system. Initially, it caught my attention thanks to its art style and how the game looked in motion, but in the end it was the gameplay, story, and characters that turned it into one of my all-time favourite games.

In fact, if it wasn't for the next game on my list, Valkyria Chronicles would be the best game of its whole generation. While I was thoroughly enjoying my time with the game from the start, the alternate history second world war backdrop and the intriguing characters instantly hooking me into the story, there's a moment roughly around halfway through the game where it effectively cemented its place as something truly special for good. I won't spoil it, but it remains one of only two times I've literally had to walk away from a game for a time because of how much it affected me emotionally. Naturally, things like that are different for everybody, but in my case there's almost no other game that has hit me quite as hard as Valkyria Chronicles.

The deep, tactical gameplay with various characters classes and units, beautiful visuals, and one of Hitoshi Sakimoto's finest scores make for an excellent experience. I've since played two of the game's sequels, and while they're both great (Valkyria Chronicles 4 in particular), none of them have quite reached these same heights. I recently replayed the original as well, and that only cemented its position near the top of my all-time favourite games list.

5) FF7 Remake probably
