Long-running Japanese video game publication Famitsu recently ran a poll for its readers to select their favourite PlayStation games in celebration of the brand’s 30th anniversary. Over 4000 votes were submitted, allowing the magazine to compile an impressive list of 30 best PlayStation games across all systems.

The list includes a mix of classics and modern hits, but surprisingly, not even a single PS5 game made the top 30.

Key Points:

What do you say is the best PlayStation (PS1-5) game?

I am surprised that Symphony of the Night isn’t on there.

Was that big in Japan?

I like the old Arc the Lad games and I always forget that Japan just loves them.

It’s in my top three PS1 games personally, so I agree, but this list is full of interesting biases.

An article based on twitter post based on screenshot of a spreadsheet. 🤢

I’m surprised to see Arc the Lad voted so high. I thought I was the only person who liked that series.

Best one? Final Fantasy X

Best one not listed? inFamous 2

Honestly, I’m surprised Crash Bandicoot & The Last of Us barely squeaked in at the bottom of the list.

Japanese people really like Japanese devs.

Still can’t believe that (spoiler for Astro Bot)

Tap for spoiler

there is not a Cloud or other FFVII character Astro Bot among the 301 rescue able bots in the entire game

… :(

I didn’t realise dynasty warriors was so popular.

Thanks a ton!

They are also on Bluesky. GDL’s a great follow if you’re interested in Japanese gaming trends.

Thought DQ8 woulda placed where DQ7 was considering it was the breakout hit stateside, which in turn would suggest it did absolute numbers in the JP market, which has famously been hot for DQ games.

FF7 earned that top spot though.

Anyone mind sharing the list in the comments? I have Xitter blocked at the router.

I love seeing Xenogears so high on this list.

Only 3 monster hunter titles?
