The fact that we don’t include Chrono Trigger is fucking retarded felipepepe.
Ok I said my piece. Will vote later this weekend.

If we include Chrono Trigger or FF6, might as well include every single game ever, since we can emulate it on PC. Besides, those 20-year-old ports are usually just commercial emulators or shitty mobile ports that are way worse than the original version.

I don't see how "every single game ever" is much worse than "every single game ever released on PC". Not that I give a shit, since I wouldn't vote for a console game in any case.
The Codex is a PC-focused forum, in an ocean of websites and forums that are devoted to consoles. People can go anywhere else vote for Chrono Trigger.
Basically, the idea is to be the opposite of this: https://www.resetera.com/threads/re...nal-update-top-101-up-plus-many-extras.53930/

It's also an RPG-focused forum, yet people are out here voting for Star Control 2. 
Don't even get me started on quality-focused
Tim "Father of Fallout" Cain calls Star Control 2 an RPG. Codex is Tim's official fan-club, so shut up.

Even the "Father of Fallout" can be an idiot once or twice. I love Star Control 2, but its not an RPG

That list
Why would anyone put trivia and names of key staff members in the short description of essential games? "This developers has a cute name, so I guess will play this game" Who thinks like that? Why develop a complex systems of icons readers needs to scroll up to check or open a new tab, when you can just write all info into neat table? There is like a very small paragraph of relevant information consisting of user short reviews. Too short. Complete insanity.

Eh.
Gameplay relies too much on savescumming.

I would say gameplay is a too easy if you know what you are doing.
I know this voting system isn't the best, but it's really nice to have the exact same system as the last one to compare the results.
About 70% of the games are in very similar places, what really changed are the new fan-favorites taking the place of mediocre titles, like Risen 1 getting replaced by ELEX.

Maybe, when this voting is over, we can make a similar voting for console-only RPG? Same rules, same number of points to distribute, the only restriction is that game was a console exclusive when it came out (so we keep games like Chrono Trigger, but don't dominate everything with Dark Souls 1 / 2/ 3). I'm curious to see what is Codex favorite console RPG.

Dumbfuck!
Why are JRPGs even considered? They have nothing in common with rpgs. They're either totally linear non-interactive skinner box grindfests (FF series etc..) or third person single player fighting games (dark souls etc..). What makes an rpg an rpg isn't present in either.
Also wtf are strategy games like ftl and xcom doing there? Just rename the poll to "games rpgcodex likes" and drop rpg if you're gonna do this crap

- Non-linear, interactive storytelling and gameplay
- sense of 'openness'
In JRPGs you play as a prebuilt character with 100% on rails predetermined path and have little if any interactivity. Hence not an rpg. I shouldn't need to explain how strategy games like xcom aren't rpgs, but if your definition of rpg is that loose then put all 25 of my points on hearthstone or rollercoaster tycoon.

In that case I'd like to re-allocate my vote points to google chrome.
Even you said that the list should be the opposite of this crap:
