We all know that Final Fantasy XIII did well enough to break some sales record upon its launch last year, and in fact even helped boost numbers of a particular console. But was it well enough to get the coveted top spot in Dengeki's Best Game of 2009 list? Verdict is a no.

 

It's not so bad, though. Square Enix' baby placed second. And this is despite the fact that there have been complaints about how the game had no levels, and its over-all linearity (which the Japanese does not appreciate, apparently).

 

Coming in at first place is Dragon Quest IX. There are 20 games in all listed in the Best of 2009 line-up from Dengeki; check them out below.

 

1. Dragon Quest IX
2. Final Fantasy XIII
3. Tales of Vesperia
4. Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
5. Steins;Gate
6. Phantasy Star Portable 2
7. Demon’s Souls
8. PERSONA3 PORTABLE
9. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
10. Tales of Graces
11. Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam Next PLUS
12. Monster Hunter Tri
13. Love Plus
14. Bayonetta
15. Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA
16. Shin Megami Tensei STRANGE JOURNEY
17. Layton-kyoju to Majin no Fue
18. THE IDOLM@STER SP
19. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
20. MACROSS ULTIMATE FRONTIER

If you ask me, Macross Ace Frontier sucks.

I'm a big fan of the Gundam Battle series and I was thinking it was going to be more of the same, just Macross instead. In a way it was, just not as enjoyable.

The controls were different, but once you got used to them you were like. Man. These controls are ass. I want my Gundam Battle Universe controls back :(.

So after putting a decent amount of time into the game, I've never touched it again.

What surprises me is that Uncharted 2 made it to the top 20 list. For an american game, that's something in Japan.

A lot of JRPGs. Originality in JAP is waning somewhat.

I sense fanboyism in Dengeki's Best Game list.

Corect me if I'm wrong but congrats to Uncharted for being the only non Japanese game these guys have.

I think it's more notable that Uncharted 2 is the only western game in the list.
