i did the topsters thing, but tried to organize mine into groups of 5 based kinda on theme... not trying to order these, because i don't want to:
row 1: stories i'll think about forever
- 13 sentinels: aegis rim
- the house in fata morgana
- disco elysium
- unreal life
- eastward
row 2: classic rpgs that define the genre for me
- chrono trigger
- xenogears
- live a live
- final fantasy viii
- chrono cross
row 3: games that break conventions in ways that i'll think about forever
- ghost trick
- undertale
- moon
- cave story
- nier: automata
row 4: (relatively recent) big budget titles that have pushed past their budget and into my heart
- elden ring
- armored core vi: fires of rubicon
- xenoblade chronicles 3
- the legend of zelda: tears of the kingdom
- final fantasy vii remake
rpg outliers that have made me think different about gameplay conventions
- vagrant story
- final fantasy xii
- paper mario: origami king
- scarlet nexus
- resonance of fate
