been reading this from the start, has been lots of fun. excellent work as always! I'm always struck when I read your lists that we seem to have very similar tastes, but I doubt I've played more than a quarter of these. definitely gives me a nice list of stuff to eventually check out! (says the guy who plays about one new game a year)

[update: just checked and, ignoring FF and PW games, i have played a grand total of six of these so far. ha.]

VVVVVV isn't a game that immediately comes to mind when I consider my all-time favourites but it's on the very short list of games that I quite frequently want to just boot up and play these days, which probably says a lot. it's pretty close to flawless at what it does.

also, maybe I just don't think of "challenge" in the same way as most people, but I don't consider Doing Things the Hard Way (Veni Vidi Vici) to be that tough. sure, I'll die 50-100 times trying it every playthrough, but it's persistence that eventually gets me through, not skill. if you pushed me for a really hot take I might even claim the Edge Games trinket is harder from a skill perspective!

p. s. props on the numbered final fantasy rankings - ignoring your endearing love affair for the original, I definitely didn't expect X to be top tier for you alongside VI and IX, but over time those are the three that stand out the most to me too.
