Hiro Mashima’s Top 10 Games of 2024

Before the year ended, Hiro Mashima, the author of Fairy Tail and Eden’s Zero, shared his top 10 games he played in 2024.

His list features many JRPGs but also includes games I never imagined he would play. Check out Hiro Mashima’s top 10 games of 2024 below:

10º Balatro

09º Unicorn Overlord

08º Dragon Quest III Remake

07º Rise of the Ronin

06º Path of Elixe 2

05º Stella Blade

04º Astro Bot

03º Like a Dragon 8

02º Romancing Saga 2

01º Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Comparing his top 10 to the games I played, I’ve also played Unicorn Overlord and Like a Dragon 8. However, I plan to start Romancing SaGa 2 and Dragon Quest III Remake. After sharing his list, Hiro Mashima mentioned that he is very excited to play Monster Hunter Wilds in 2025.

Looking at the reactions from Japanese fans, many were surprised to see how he managed to find the time to play these games:

• “That’s an unbelievable number for a weekly serial author, but it’s true…”
• “I’m so happy that 1st and 2nd place are the same as mine! FF7 Rebirth and Romancing SaGa 2 Remake are truly amazing.”
• “Sensei, you must be so busy. How do you manage to play so much? It’s a real mystery.”
• “And this is coming from a mangaka who works without breaks and doesn’t skip releases. He’s doing both a monthly and a weekly series.”
• “Seriously, when does this person find the time to play?”
• “There’s no Fairy Tail 2 on the list.”
• “As expected of a gamer. Managing to do this while drawing manga is impressive.”
• “This person plays more than me. I wish they’d write a book about time management.”
