#64 - EarthBound (SNES, 1995)

EarthBound is one of the most unique RPGs ever created, taking place in a modern world (well, modern for the 90s) and bringing its own blend of humor to a great RPG. I've played through the game three times and have tried the Rock Candy trick on one of those, leading to some hilarious stats at the end of the game. I even ran an EarthBound mafia game here on Board 8 at some point, where I put a lot of thought on assigning each role as best as possible. The rolling HP bars also add a degree of strategy to the turn based aspect, where you can save a party member from collapsing by healing them before the HP rolls down to 0. The final boss is also a very unique battle - probably a bit similar to Earthbound Beginnings, but this was the first game we got!

#63 - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Switch, 2018)

Ultimate is the best Smash game, and probably the only one besides Melee that I've put a significant amount of time into. I like how the game, while still more of a Nintendo collection with the majority of its roster, is more of a crossover between many video game franchises - most of the long, well-known third-party franchises that have games on Nintendo systems have one or more characters included in Smash. The sticker battles have a lot of thought put into them as each fight references the sticker character as best as it can (and I still have many of these to finish). Playing online is very well done for parties as well, as I've played online with many of the people making writeups in this very topic!

#62 - Final Fantasy VI (SNES, 1994)

This is the highest mainline Final Fantasy game, but not the highest Final Fantasy on my list. Remember that for much later. It's the first Final Fantasy that I played a significant amount, and even though I never beat it originally, I eventually did manage to finish everything in it years later. So for me, it's the title I have the most significant memories of, more than any of the other titles. I am a big fan of many of the supporting cast in this game as well, it's a shame Square never really brought back some of the commands that some of the characters have, like Sabin's blitzes, which were unique to this game.

#61 - Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland (PS3, 2011)

The funniest thing about Atelier Totori as I ordered it with Disgaea 4 from NIS's shop shortly after getting my first PS3. I've played through Totori at least four times yet have never gotten past chapter 5 in Disgaea 4. Anyway, Gust's 2nd Atelier game for the PS3 here is a much better game than its predecessor Rorona as they actually made exploring the huge world in it fun, and the adventurer tasks gave a lot more freedom than the restrictive castle assignments. Totori is also one of the better protagonists in the series, better than her counterparts in the Arland quadrilogy. I've enjoyed every time I've gone through this game, and I recently just started it again on the PS4!
