As I always do, random thoughts on games:
Persona 3
Best option here, and I really don't think that's arguable. Just...the growth is great, the characters are interesting, the fighting ability is pretty cool, it doesn't have any major issues, etc. SMT can be successful in the DL! It also has awesome joke characters like Charmles if people are interested in that. Really, can't see a better game right now. The writing is a little lower than people want, but the people who like the game and are writers are pretty prolific. It will grow - especially once I force it on NEB and Meeple!
Mana Khemia
Arguably 3rd/4th best option here. Which is scary, as it was bad last time. Anyway, the votership is slowly rising, and the game is very interesting combat and character-wise. It's also getting lots of support internally rising, and seems to have interest outside. Definitely would be a good addition to the DL. Maybe 1-2 sessions from now. I'm actually excited enough to find time to play this thing now >_>
Wild ARMs 5
Poor, poor WA5. It was thought to be the next coming of WA4, and now it's...well, overall decent. Vote draw could be better, but it's not bad. It's the 2nd best option this time, after P3 (of the new games). PCs are somewhat boring, except Chuck/Carol, and the bosses are somewhat one-dimensional, but it's a decent overall. Definitely should be ranked now, and if not now, then next time. The game's probably peaked overall, so I can't see a point in waiting here.
Final Fantasy 3 Forgotten Warrior: Cloud of Darkness
I mentioned this already, but...well, I'm not hugely interested in the game in general for the reasons I stated above. That said, I'd not be adverse to bosses from the game with the PCs. However, that's the major issue with this choice - otherwise, vote draw is solid, demand is decent, and the remake certainly helps all this. The biggest issue I see here is pretty major votesplit potential (well...maybe not that bad). Also some personal opinions regarding the ranking of bosses without PCs, a single boss from a game, a boss with vote split, etc. Not a bad idea really, though I personally am not a huge fan of it. Cloud of Darkness for Middle, and such.
Xenosaga 3
Eh...this game might have hit its peak like WA5. I'd like to see more NR. I really do want to see it ranked - has cool fighters, and we get ALLEN. Also, end of a series that is 67% ranked already. Think it might be on par with XS2 when it was initially ranked if ranked now. People really seem to hate the game, though hopefully that's not the primary reason they're against it >_> Vote draw and support issues I can see, but blinding hate...hey, I still supported Alicia being ranked with VP2!
Tales of Vesperia
Will be good once built up. Well, the fighting system might give people headaches, but...eh. We've had this before. No major comments yet - need to fully finish it myself. Rita for Godlike, and all.
Final Fantasy 12
I...sometime in the future, I think. Maybe. Honestly, I don't know with this game. I feel it should be represented in some way, but...bleh. No thoughts here.
Megaman X Command Mission
This is very similar to LoL2. I...it might be doable. Another NR test? Honestly, I think it might be as ready as it's ever going to be now. Would love to see it in, but...well, the only issue is some vote draw, which doesn't bother me too much (> 40%), but in general isn't amazing.
Super Mario RPG bosses
Don't think this will ever fly much. Smithy I would support definitely, and probably more, but I don't think the general interest is there.
Ateiler Iris 2
Mana Khemia has a better chance.
Eternal Sonata
Probably not. Sadly. No Chopin for Godlike hype.
Digimon World (Series)
Never.
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Probably not, sadly.
Barkley: Shut up and Jam
YES. I might seriously hype this next ranking session. PLAY THIS GAME, ASSHOLES.
Kingdom Hearts FW: Sora
Eh...he's good enough to be ranked. I mean, I'm not against this at all, so...he should have been ranked already if ever, but...maybe next time when there's a free space?
Mass Effect
;_;
Luminous Arc
Not likely.
Riveria
Better chance than some of the other stuff here. PSP+GBA helps. I'll evaluate it later.
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood
...this would kick ass. I need to look this up.
