Why is Japan so based Yea Forums?

I still don’t understand how Chrono Trigger placed first on this. I have nothing against it and think it’s a great game, but it just feels out of place compared to the others.

Was it a bigger deal in Japan when it released?

recency bias, it was also a massive amount of people's first Taro game so they treated the gimmicks as something new

Random encounters with invisible enemies was the norm for JRPGs. Having your overworld encounters visible before you battle them and watching them awkwardly slide into a predefined position on the screen once you initiate the battle is mindblowing for the average JRPG fan.

Almost identical but no cigar. Japan's taste is better.

Not sure why you're still posting this poll. Every time we make a poll the lists are vastly different.

BOTW is a pretty decent blemish on the jap list

Nope, BotW deserves its spot. Quit posting the Yea Forums list that changes every year.

So does Japan's you faggot, they have a poll several times each year

Japan has just as bad taste as everyone who considers BotW a good game.

Fuck off Snoy, it's objectively a solid 8/10 game. Sure it's not as good as Wind Waker, Ocarina, ALTTP or Majora's Mask but that doesn't make it a bad game

So... it's a poll for their favorite game of all time? There were no good games before 1989

Their favorite games of the last 30 years

I'll rephrase, brainlet. Quit posting the Yea Forums list that changes every week.

Why is Japan's taste so good? The only questionable choice on that list is Ocarina of Time over A Link to the Past.

Meanwhile Yea Forums's taste is primarily trash. Only Nier, Chrono Trigger, ALttP, SMW, Super Metroid, and SotN deserve to be on the list.

Breath of the Wild was GOTY 2017, and that's even with stiff competition from Odyssey, NieR: Automata, and Hollow Knight. It's still a contrarian opinion to hate it, and it'll always be contrarian.

Both Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest fans love the game. Two of the biggest gaming fanbases in Japan liking a game is obviously going to equal massive popularity.

It was pretty genre redefining when it came out, like many of the SNES classics. We still follow the formulas set by SNES games to this day. How many games released to this day still ape structure/style/pacing/mechanics/themes from:
>Super Mario World
>Super Metroid
>Chrono Trigger
>A Link to the Past
>Kirby Super Star and Dreamland 3
>Megaman X
>Street Fighter

And then there are plenty of other genre defining games from that era that weren't SNES titles
>Touhou
>Half Life
>Pokemon
>Quake
>Starcraft
>Symphony of the Night
>Super Mario 64
>Smash 64
>Resident Evil
>Metal Gear Solid

I don't hate it but it's no masterpiece

I've played close to 300 video games over the course of 20 years, and I can't really think of a game that gets closer to being a masterpiece than BotW. It's by no means perfect, and has tons of flaws, but it's the best we've got.
