3. The Colossi - Shadow of the Colossus
At first the hulking monoliths which rise out of the landscape before you seem like admirable foes and a worthy challenge for anyone seeking the thrill of battle. Through countless perils and death defying attacks on the monsters you are successful and...you really shouldn't have done that. OK, so note to self on this one. If a disembodied voice tells you that killing sixteen mythical giants is the only way to bring back your love then you should probably learn CPR to stop this kind of crap from happening. Also, don't trust said voice. After being tasked by the disembodied voice of an apparent ally to kill sixteen beasts roaming the land so that his love interest can be bought back, not once does the main character, Wander, think to himself "hmm these beasts can only be killed by the sword I 'borrowed' from the ruling kingdom and they're pretty big, so maybe they were created that way for a reason." Crying out for sense and reason in some JRPGs is like trying to teach a child that they shouldn't touch the shiny things, in that it's practically impossible to achieve. The Colossi just roam about, going about their daily routine of keeping a very dangerous evil locked away, when all of a sudden you come screaming out of the desert and plunge a blade into their faces. Shame on you if you enjoyed killing these just and magnificent creatures.
