Would this be more accepted if there was a proper Remake as well?
Preferably one without any scummy money practices as a mobile game. Looking at you Ever Crisis

I give Persona 4 and its remake in Golden each a perfect 10/10 score so I'm glad you picked the best game to start with.
Also playing this first unironically makes Persona 5 a better hitting game

Hell yeah, every single Persona game is great. The only weaker points being 1 as a 7/10 and 3 Portable also being a 7/10

Yeah it had some wild choices. Also to be clear it was a one per franchise rule. I don't know how DQIX or FFIX both beat out their more popular counterparts.
Were there other classical RPGs you were expecting?

I remember back in 2013 when Dark Dawn was considered the best in the series. It was even ranked as the 10th best RPG of all time in a poll I watched develop back then

I've got a question do we count licensed games? For example could I vote for the Yugioh World Championship sub series, that ended in 2011, that had dedicated storylines and original characters added to the different worlds?
Or does that not count given the release of newer games like Duel Links?

So how nitpicky are we being on the decade limit? Zero Time Dilemma came out in June of 2016. Would that make the Zero Escape Series eligible for this list?

It's been a very unique run so far. A good time, is unlocking the different characters. It's nice to actually see Iori's route unlocking the characters it's meant to for once.

You've said it yourself haven't you? SNK has one of the nicest and most dedicated fanbases.
Only this time it is unfortunately been weaponized against them.

Understandable it was appreciated while it lasted though.
As someone who often votes for games that weren't most people's top picks I greatly appreciated the diversity offered in the many options, that I could see and vote for

Oh yeah, unless given word otherwise, I just feel bad for Oda and the team.
A lazy marketing department and stupid higher ups trying to save money.

That even includes characters like Joe and Andy who were shown off in the second initial teaser as characters #5 and 6 respectively

I'm hoping this is an interesting list, but afraid it'll just be the boring picks like Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Wario, Daisy, Peach, Donkey Kong, etc.

Ended up being unexpectedly busy tonight, so I couldn't really watch, but I'll be keeping track of your progress, because it is fascinating how people will unlock their characters
