Many familiar faces

Famitsu magazine held a poll at the end of June, asking its readers to vote on what they think are the best role-playing games of all time are. The results are in, and the top 20 answers are on the board. Despite releasing this year, Japanese gamers votedPersona 5as the best ever, and evenNieR: AutomataandFinal Fantasy XVranked high.

Not to discredit anyone, but the more I see people claiming X is the best game ever made every three months the more I start to believe in that good ole recency bias. In any case, thePersonagames along withFinal Fantasy Xshowing here proves there are still some people with good tastes in RPGs on this Earth. Personally I’d add the first (and only the first)Mass Effect, Kingdom Hearts,andKingdom Hearts II.
