9. dragon's dogma is by far the best action RPG i've ever played. it's janky in all the right ways, but at the same time it's mechanically sound. dark arisen is often on sale for just $5. play it. you won't regret it.

10. final fantasy iii. this was my first final fantasy and will forever be special in my heart. (this list is in no particular order btw i just wanted to do the ffxiv meme first)
