Oh haha, well. . . this may come as a bit of blasphemy, but I haven't played Persona 4! In my defense, however, this was one of my favorite games to lay in bed and watch my partner play, so it's definitely on my top list. With a unique visual style, great soundtrack, memorable writing and characters (Kanji and Teddie were my favorites) and fun dungeons, it really has the whole package. As far as which one RPG I would say is my favorite, I'd have to go with FFX. It might be an anathema to purists of the genre, but growing up in a household where my parents felt that kind of thing was unhealthy for the growing mind, it was the first real JPRG I was able to experience so it will always hold a special place for me. I also spent a long time playing FFXI and more recently, FFXIV. There are some incredible psychologically immersive experiences that can come out of MMORPGs. I have to be honest, I also liked the Mass Effect series. It had its flaws, but the worlds and stories were just so detailed and the visual imagery was very satisfying for a sci-fi fan like myself.

Outside of those, I love sandbox games; they are my true passion as far as video game genres go. I played every Sim City iteration for literally countless hours, starting at a very young age with the original, through 4, which I still play modded with some irregularity. I love Civilization V, and Minecraft is another game I play with frequency. I'm a moderator on a small whitelisted vanilla server which is fun as a creative outlet for my casual interest in architecture.
