Starting with our list we have.. a TIE
100(t).Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Points Received/List Appearances: 36; 3
Developer: Atlus
System(s): Playstation 2
Genre(s): JRPG
Previous Rank: 91st (List 7)
Nocturne is actually the 3rd game in the Shin Megami Tensei main series . It has somewhat of a different plot/setting than most jrpgs: It takes place in a strange post-apocalypse world and the main hero becomes a demon after the rest of the world is destroyed. The plot has been compared to a horror movie and there are a lot of choices that are pretty dark.
The Gameplay has been compared to Pokemon, but instead of cutsey monsters you have to recruit demons as allies. A lot of the strategy is knowing elements and weaknesses of your opponents.
Shin Megami Tensei games are notorious for being very difficult, so if you want a game that's LONG AND HARD this may be the game for you.
100(t).Planescape: Torment
Points Received/List Appearances: 36; 3
Developer: Black Isle Studios
System(s): PC
Genre(s): RPG
Previous Rank: N/A
Planescape: Torment is known for its story which is set in a Dungeons & Dragons-like setting. You start out by waking up on a slab in a cemetary. You have no memory, but you've got a lot of wordy tattoos all over your body, and a very talkative floating skull to fill you in.
The dialogue in this game is well-liked and can be affected by your experience, your intelligence, how attactive you are, where you are in the game, etc.
The game is pretty open-ended too, you can fight stuff, talk to many different people, choose quests that you feel like, etc.
The 3 classes you can be in this game are: fighter, magician or thief but you can switch between them whenever you want.
99.Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride
Points Received/List Appearances: 36; 4
Developer: ArtePiazza
System(s): DS
Genre(s): JRPG
Previous Rank: 76th (List 8)
A very popular game in the series, with a very well-liked silent protagonist.
The story is literally the life of the main protagonist from literally when he was born through his main quest that spans two time skips. You even get to choose who you want to marry.
The medieval setting and turn-based battle system are typical Dragon Quest-fare (though this game also allows you to have monster teammates) so if those are to your liking you will definitely enjoy this game.
98.Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Points Received/List Appearances: 36; 5
Developer: Intelligent Systems
System(s): Gamecube
Genre(s): Strategy RPG
Previous Rank: 82nd (List 8)
The 9th game in the series and one of the most popular.
The game stars Ike as he fights for his friends as a member of the Greil Mercenaries. What's interesting is that unlike other games in the series, Ike is not of royal descent so the twists in the game are a bit more unique.
Fire Emblem games are Strategy RPGsare known for its defining gameplay mechanic: once a characters dies they are gone FOREVER. Path of Radiance continues this trend but also includes new features such as the ability to push lighter units out of harm's way and the ability to earn bonus experience by beating a chapter quickly.
