Uh-huh. Nice to see Romancing Saga up there, even if it is in the top 80. Interesting to see how it beats out DQ7/5 Fire Emblems and Star Ocean 2 (which is quite a shock since So2 is exceptional).

More interesting to see Kingdom Hearts 2 tied with FF4. Also, the First Kingdom Hearts being so high up the list AND beating out Final Fantasy 6 AND XENOGEARS (also a very exceptional game).

DQ4 should have been higher up. That game was "iconic" for me. FF7 is WAY too high, but then again, it is extremely popular.

Suikoden 2 is too low. And why isn't Earthbound or anything from the Shin Megami Tensei (Digital Devil Saga, Persona, Devil Summoner) up there? ESPECIALLY Earthbound.

Anyway, it's a surprise to see the first Kingdom Hearts above the second one. Looks like the Organization doesn't have that much sway over the mainstream gamers. I bet the FANDOM would have a different opinion, but then again, who knows? The fandom has always been divisive.
