Data Mine


Legend of Mana- Haven't played, reject.  The weapon crafting sounds too significant to ignore and too convoluted to analyze.
Xenoblade Chronicles- Haven't finished, rank.  Game seems viable enough supposing it ever gets players.
Tales of Graces f- Played, rank.  I'm not optimistic the game will ever pan out, but it's not hopeless.
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together- Haven't played, rank.  Bit slow coming up, but that's to be expected.
Rogue Galaxy- Haven't played, reject.
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn- Haven't played, reject.

Rankings


Brigandine (10/19)- Reject.  Brig doesn't bring much to the DL, and I just can't imagine it ever being better than just barely rankable.
Cthulhu Saves the World (10/19)- Rank.  Yeah, considering the availability and shortness of the game, I'm down for encouraging people to play via ranking.
Earthbound (11/19)- Abstain.  Mrf.  The folks who haven't played EB are kinda the voters I lean on the most.  I should finish the damn game myself I think.
Final Fantasy XII (10/19)- Reject.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (10/19)- Abstain.  Alas, having it ranked amused me, but I'm not terribly comfortable with just barely over 50%.
Lufia and the Fortress of Doom (11/19)- Reject.
Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy (10/19)- Abstain.  I don't think the pathsplit is that big a deal, but for a game that's just barely rankable it's probably enough to hold off for.
Mega Man X: Command Mission (10/19)- Rank
Parasite Eve (10/19)- Abstain.
Phantasy Star II (10/19)- Reject.
Soul Nomad & The World Eaters (10/19)- Abstain.

Data Mine

Legend of Mana- Snow, Elfboy, Random, dude, Djinn, super, Lance, Tal, Neph    Rank- iiiiiiii  Reject- iiiiiiiiii
Xenoblade Chronicles- dude, Yoshi,   Rank- iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii   Reject- i
Tales of Graces f- super, tal, CK,   Rank- iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii  Reject-
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together-   Snow, Elfboy, Ciato, Random, dude, Dhyer,   Rank- iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii   Reject- i
Rogue Galaxy- Lance, twil,   Rank- iiiiiiiiii  Reject- iiiiiiii
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn- Random,    Rank- iiiiiiii  Reject- iiiiiiiiii

For purposes of data mining, votes of abstain were counted as 'rank' votes: the information I needed was whether people opposed ranking a game more than if they supported ranking it.  Taking that into account, Legend of Mana and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn have been rejected from further ranking consideration.  The rest will be moved into longshots (albeit, Tactics Ogre is basically people finishing the game away from ranking consideration.)
