100% with Alex.
The turn-based question is so boring and was the most tedious topic to deal with during my time at SQEX and the answer remains mostly the same as back then!

Besides, if you want turn-based RPGs from SQEX then PLAY BRAVELY DEFAULT and please be excited for DRAGON QUEST 1&2 HD & DQ12!

Lists like this will always miss something but there's lots of surprising omissions:

Attack on Titan
Mushoku Tensei
Re:Zero
Yu Yu Hakusho
Haikyu
Kaguya-Sama
JJK
Chainsaw Man
My Dress Up Darling
Quintessential Quintuplets

Although I will give props for featuring Odd Taxi which is a very good shout

🎉 WE WON!

We could not be more thrilled to win the Outstanding Association Award at the MCV/DEVELOP Awards last night.

Limit Break would not be where it is today without the support of our incredible committee members, our sponsors, & the mentors & mentees who sign up for Limit Break every year 💖

While everyone else is excited for their Switch 2 deliveries...

What makes this track even more GOATed is how it weaves and changes as the battle progresses

No spoilers but you can hear certain motifs build until certain points in the battle where the character themes blow up when "things happen" and you "do things". Uniquely game stuff that is masterfully done

Bravely Default has genuinely one of the best OSTs in any medium. Every track is an absolute banger.

Just listen to the final boss theme (via this incredible cover)

Gotta love this aura farming, but even if this line was true, if your credits are Guren no Yumiya and Shinzo wo Sasageyo, (from one of the biggest and most impactful animes of all time - Attack on Titan), then you would be at least a two gigantic hit wonder

The interview answers are very media trained but it's clear how humble and passionate the ZZZ team are about giving its players the best experience and you can 100% feel it in game.

RIP TV mode though... I liked it 😭

"Faction Chain Attack is one of the future directions for combat design" - YEEES!

TIL Marvel Games have very good hair stylists

I don't know who needs to hear this but you can make boiled eggs in an air fryer.

1.) Eggs straight into an air fryer at 160C for 8 mins

2.) Dunk them into cold water

3.) Once cooled, peel the eggs and they will be perfectly jammy

It's quite poetic that this remake of the first game in the series is also the first one to get a day 1 worldwide release.

The Trails Series is so long and so daunting to get into, this remake is long overdue. Some of the best world building in these games so be sure to keep an eye on this!

Taura wasn't doing a very good job at hiding this (news of Eel was circulating at least in Jan) but it's still sad to see this confirmed

He + Yoko Taro + Yosuke Saito were the dream team that made NieR: Automata what it is and it'll be strange to see what inevitable sequel looks like without him

Okay, fair play, the Overwatch 2 x Gundam Wing skins are pretty great. The Mercy x Wing Zero one especially is *chef's kiss*

(Also, holy shit Gundam Wing is 30 years old)

25 years after it was originally released on PS1, Breath of Fire IV is back (on GOG)!
BoF III is more fondly remembered (arguably rightfully so) but BoF IV was criminally overlooked and underrated. Glad to see it back

I find that 90% is horseshit mixed in with lukewarm obvious/boring takes too.

It seems that no matter where you go people can't avoid being baited or talking just to be "seen" so they can at least appear to be thought leaders

Limit Break Mentorship Mentee Callout Leadership & Studio Start-Up

It's always a bit hard to tell but that wouldn't surprise me. I'd rather/hope Lunar and Suikoden sold bucket loads instead so they don't become collectors items though

It's a good time to be a PS1 era JPRG fan asking for remasters of the classics (especially a European fan who can finally buy these without importing)

What's arguably more damning (if you want to be melodramatic) is the Game Chat feature having a dedicated button and being locked behind a subscription and The Welcome Tour not being bundled with something (either the console or additional controllers)
Those feel like very un-Nintendo things to do

He's not wrong but it's also a bit too early to say. The SNES and GBA were similar upgrades to their predecessors and even the Gamecube was too without peripherals like the modem or GBA cables
It's still very possible that the Switch 2 could become something more in time

Have they ever not gone with the localised names? (Except in the JP dub)

FF7 not even breaking the top 10 is criminal though

But that's only if you think of influence as a linear path of DNA or whoever did it first.

That's why lists like this are nonsense without clear criteria. Are we talking about the game with the most personal influence or industry or tech impact, copycats, etc.

My hot take:

Quake is more influential than Doom

The interesting thing about this list is seeing which communities show up to support their fav games and where BAFTA's voice reaches.

When it comes to the actual list, let's face it - every single publicly voted list like this is going to be nonsense (especially those with no real set criteria)
