But seriously, this list is soo wrong. There are so many games that should be up there. Like Ocarina of Time for example.

Well, this is about the same with every list: it is always influenced by which games people have played. I mean, there's a reason Final Fantasy 1-6 don't get any attention really, isn't there.... and why characters from those games rarely if ever have a chance in GU Character Battles. "Oh, who is that? Don't know him/her, so I'll vote for the other" is my favourite comment.... :o

.... and why a superb villain like Kefka wins by only 10 votes over a whip-wielding sidekick (sorry!) remains a secret to me...

What I still do not get is why the Famitsu voters are so fond of FFXIII, to be honest. What is SO appealing about that game except for the flashy graphics, some music pieces and Fang? Wink Not that I hate it, but it wouldn't rank up that high for me.

I know, right. They could have picked RE4, but why 5? Makes no sense.

Ugh, this is list is all wrong and gross. I can't believe other more influential games aren't on that list; Famitsu readers, do you guys have a parasite in your brain?

I agree with everyone else and say that we pick make our own list.

...and at least Okami is on there. XD

What is BBS doing on a list of that caliber? It's a good game, but not nearly good enough to land on a Greatest of All-Time list. Not by a long shot. It had way too many problems.

Well FFXIII is in my top 10 games of all time too, I'll tell you what I found appealing:

- My fav battle system
- A great cast of characters I could like, especially Light, Fang, Sazh
- Awesome music
- Impeccable presentation
- Memorable story
- A lore/setting that stays with you after the game

It did too many things right for me and I guess many Famitsu readers feel similarly.

Okay. I agree on some of those points, as mentioned above.

Let me tell you what I didn't like.
What about gameplay? Meaning: at first I am led by a nose ring through the levels, having basically the freedom to go back and forth. Sometimes not even that. WHEN I am finally led off the leash, I am in PULSE. A big green nothingness. Okay, I love the graphics, too! But what the heck! The map of Pulse annoyed the hell out of me with changing perspective each and every time. I find the lack of humans and human communication bothering, too. As much as XII didn't appeal to me in parts, you were at least able to talk to people.

That's my criticism for XIII.
