I created a new top Codex JRPG list poll. Using the same system that felipepepe uses for the yearly best RPGs, but with some changes. People off Twitter aren't allowed to vote in this one, so there needs to be a way to filter them so they can't respond. The way to get around this is if everyone who takes this poll writes a post to confirm they did in this thread. Something like "Voted in the poll".
I chose a different software than the one Google uses, it should make submitting it a lot quicker, given that it uses horizontal radial-buttons instead of vertical ones. As I discovered recently though, it has a bug where editing your response is impossible for guests. Thankfully, I figured out a way around it, that I create a duplicate version of the poll and that allows everyone to vote another time. The old responses are still saved, so it is only necessary to score any new or changed responses.
The hope is that this ends up returning more prestigious results than the previous list. Pretty excited already.
THE LINK: CLOSED
Scoring methodology:
I'll put the results into two categories, one for all the games included, and one for "pure" JRPGs so one without Souls-like games.
Let me know in the thread if there's a missing game that you think has a chance of reaching the top places. As long as it's actually an RPG, and didn't come out in 2022, I'll add it in.

Scoring methodology:
I've studied about statistics, and know the best way to depict the data. The aim is to only keep the results from JRPGs with at least 5-10 votes, so that a game played by 1 person and given a 5 doesn't reach the top of the list. It's so you can make a reliable guess of the Codex opinion of the game, like how many amazon ratings there needs to be to know whether a product isn't actually broken. Based on how many votes this poll receives, I'll be able to raise the votes cutoff point closer and closer to 10. Then from there reveal the top 10, and perhaps also the top 25.
It'll be possible to also rank the games in the major series from best to worst.
