Famitsu has released the results of Japanese gamers' votes for the 100 best games of all time with Final Fantasy X sitting pretty at the top of the heap--and Western games almost getting completely shut out.

While this blogger thrills to the high placement of a strategy RPG like Tactics Ogre in the list, there's an odd amount of cultural shock in seeing at least 7 of the top 10 being traditional RPGs, something you'd rarely see in a similar Western list. And has anyone heard of Machi: Unmei no Kousaten for the Sega Saturn? It's apparently #5 on the Famitsu list.
