Back in December, we posted about NHK's Final Fantasy Mega-Poll, which looked to Japanese fans to vote on their favorite everything when it comes to Final Fantasy. This one covered pretty much every aspect one could imagine, from favorite games in the series to characters, bosses, Summons, and music.

As promised, the results were presented on February 29, finally whittling the top choices down from massive databases consisting of 57 games, 3,300 characters, 4,400 bosses and summons, and 2,900 music tracks. 468,654 votes were cast in the poll from a variety of age ranges, and the top game had the same ratio of votes between 20-29 year olds and 30-39 year olds. So, what made the cut? Let's start with the top 10 Final Fantasy games:

10. Final Fantasy XV

9. Final Fantasy XI

8. Final Fantasy IV

7. Final Fantasy VIII

6. Final Fantasy V
