It shows the difference in tastes when MGS:PO is so low down the list. I'd wager if a western list was done it would be much higher.

*blinks twice* Blue Dragon on second? Wow... *Starts saving up for a 360 instead of the Wii*

Darn you, Nobuo!!! Why'd you have to go and develop on the 360?!?!?! DX

I heart Nintendo

Nobuo is responsible the music. Not the actual game itself. It's Hironobu you're on about.

I wanna know why there's so many PS2 titles up in that list. Somebody at Famitsu is sucking Sony CEO dick.

I was going to tell you why, but then I realized your name was "I heart Nintendo". Who's sucking whose dick?

Yes, sorry. My bad. Why did I write Nobuo? LOL. I guess I associate him with Final Fantasy more than I do Hironobu. >.< sad.

It's not sad, I guarantee you that Final Fantasy would not be as successful as it is now if it wasn't for Nobuo Uematsu's music.

Just a small request to the site admin.

Please refrain from using Kotaku as a source.
They are widely known for spreading unmitigated rumor and outright slander. I could (barring NDA) quote several instances where they outright lie.

I feel DCEmu is a very unbiased and reputable site, which I would hate to see having connections with one of such low calibur.
