The Top 100 PS1 Games In 10 Minutes ... according to gamer votes!

The Top 100 PS1 Games - as voted on by the users at GameFaqs ... in 10 minutes. See the list here:
www.gamefaqs.c...
Admittedly, there are some odd entries on this list. For example, both Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy Anthology are listed - which is a bit redundant. Ditto for Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy Chronicles. But, votes are votes and I listed them anyway.
Looking through this list, one developer in particular stands out for their output: Square. They published so many diverse titles with consistently high quality on the PS1. It's interesting how they've went from successfully pursuing multiple genres to essentially being a single franchise shop...
What's even more interesting is comparing this video with a Top 100 PS1 list ... as listed by MetaCritic, which I have also uploaded! There's a surprisingly wide disparity between what gamers consider "Top 100" and what critics consider "Top 100"...
On a personal note, I'm majorly bummed out that Omega Boost didn't make either list. Boo.
NOTE: For people saying #49 is mis-identified - Final Fantasy Chronicles (#49) ... is actually a collection of FFIV and Chrono Trigger. And considering I already had footage from FF Anthology, FFV and FFVI already on the list, I wanted to use some different footage of the game - hence the Chrono Trigger footage.
Also note that Resident Evil 1 does not appear twice. If you pay attention, the votes put "Resident Evil Director's Cut" at 99 and the stock "Resident Evil" at 19.

There was something so underground about the PS1. It was the kind of console you played late into the night when you didn't have school or homework in a dimly lit room in your basement. Just you and the TV screen illuminating the area around you. It was a time.

[@adjustableisland8806]

Yeah there is something about the ps1, with that iconic loading screen, that got lost when everything transitioned to ps2.

[@andyc6542]

It was such a grown up console compared to the competition of the time and fit perfectly with the late 90s vibe here in the Uk

@John rich kid, I had 5

[@Jack_80]

i used to have a dozen games at most, and when a game came out on another console that i really wanted i would trade in my console and games for another console with that one game. i threw away so many amazing games i wish i still had by being impatient. i had a ps1, then an n64, then a ps1 again, then a dreamcast, had a gamecube, xbox, and ps2 but almost always only one at a time and rarely held onto a console for more than 6 months. i must have had 5 or 6 new ps1s, 2 or 3 n64s, a couple dreamcasts, 2 or 3 gamecubes, a couple xboxes, 3 or 4 ps2s and so on, man i was stupid back then. with a little patience i could easily have every console right now with a nice collection of games for each.

Why put Resident Evil: Director's Cut and later the classic Resident Evil, or Final Fantasy Anthology and later Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI if those two games are exactly the content of Anthology?

[@TheMarkusBoy]

RE: DC features the Advanced mode that changes some enemies and key items placement, new camera angles, new outfits... It's like a new mode and it's harder than the original game

[@Darmani2MB]

@@TheMarkusBoy why are you telling me that?

[@TheMarkusBoy]

@@Darmani2MB Because I think that the creator of the video thought of the different game mode when making the list because all of the differences

[@Darmani2MB]

@@TheMarkusBoy I disagree. It could have been a good theory, but considering what he/she did with Final Fantasy Anthology, it doesn't make sense

Counted 8/20 of these games that appeared on PS classic (FF7, MGS, Syphon Filter, RE:Director Cut, Wild Arms, Super Puzzle Fighter, Ridge Racer 4, Oddworld). Everybody knows the library is poor with some choices not chosen over their superior versions, but goes to show you, hacking it grants you access to an awesome library. Other recommendations I got are Bubsy 3d, Batman Beyond, and the Hulk.
