Did this topic ever get updated with some averaged results and top-ten lists and such?

I remember that people were working on running the figures, but I didn't recall anything actually getting talked about after the initial discussion in chat?

AndrewRogue · « **Reply #383 on:** February 09, 2011, 07:20:40 AM »

Persona 4 down to Cool.

Added Mass Effect at Awesome, Wild Arms 4 at Cool and Mass Effect at Cool.

Added XS3 at 0/10. I don't think I've ever -finished- a game that underwhelmed me so thoroughly in all regards in at least one decade.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #385 on:** March 14, 2011, 02:54:42 AM »

Added Radiant Historia at 9/10

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #386 on:** March 16, 2011, 02:07:56 AM »

Dragon Quest 9 at 2/10. Well it's good to be reminded why I avoid most of that series like the plague. Tried to enjoy it but I really can't see anything it does especially well (and the plot/gameplay are both thoroughly mediocre); doubly disappointing because 8 was so clearly taking steps in the right direction. Grr.

Talaysen · « **Reply #387 on:** March 29, 2011, 07:31:50 PM »

Added Radiant Historia at a low 9. Kind of waffling between 8 and 9.

Twilkitri · « **Reply #388 on:** April 03, 2011, 03:01:10 PM »

Added Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes Of Lagaard at 8/10.

Added Grandia at 7/10.

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #389 on:** April 24, 2011, 02:53:21 AM »

Legend of Dragoon back up to 7/10. Game has aged better than I'd assumed it would, pleasantly surprised here.

jsh357 · « **Reply #390 on:** April 27, 2011, 07:49:56 PM »

Edited my list pretty heavily (came to add Nier and Pokemon Black/White)

Dhyerwolf · « **Reply #391 on:** May 09, 2011, 03:49:03 AM »

Added ToV at 7, FF 13 at 4 (Dragged too much+half the plot scene devolved into every character needing to reaffirm crap), WoZ at 3 (7 on gameplay, bad on everything else, too many minus points for lack of button use. Was riding the 3/4 border before my fight with Oz, so squarely in 3s now).

Meeplelard · « **Reply #392 on:** May 23, 2011, 07:52:40 PM »

Added:
Suiko Tierk at 7/10
Namco x Capcom at 6/10
Chocobo Dungeon at 6/10
Parasite Eve 2 at 5/10
Soul Nomad at 6/10
Kingdom Hearts BbS at 4/10

Changed:
FF4 o/a -1 (5/10)
FF4 DS -3 (4/10...seriously, what the fuck was it doing that high for so long?)
XS3 -1 (3/10)
Suikoden -1 (5/10)
Suikoden 4 -2 (4/10)

I'm slowly updating stuff things I intended to change a while, back hence why some of these changes seem drastic. Knowing me, I probably missed some of the changes I just made or something too!

Twilkitri · « **Reply #393 on:** May 29, 2011, 09:08:26 AM »

Added Persona 4 at 9/10.

Added Radiant Historia at a low 9. Kind of waffling between 8 and 9.

This, but for me, the waffling ended up with it at an 8/10. I'm not really sure -why- it's not quite as high as Chrono Trigger/Phantasy Star 4 (which are certainly similar!) but I've been reflecting over the last week and it being an 8 rather than a 9 just feels right. Maybe the way the game handled its PC cast availability just rubs me the wrong way a bit. I will probably continue to chew on this and it could change.

(Radiant Historia added at 8/10, in case it's not clear.)

Tactics Ogre gets a 7/10. Solid stuff. It's pretty close to Fire Emblem 6 for a reason, both have stories which are at least palatable with one or two shining moments (though not much more) and gameplay which is good but mired with a little clunkiness. TO's the better game though because while "all classes at Level 1 initial" is stupid, it's not nearly as stupid as how FE6 handles reinforcements.

Grandia 3 up to 9/10. With every passing year its story bothers me less, while the "holy shit this gameplay is good" factor remains. Let's just come out and say it: this game has a strong, strong case to have the best gameplay in any non-strategy RPG ever, and its only competition in this regard to me is up at the 10/10 tier. Wild Arms 3, meanwhile, falls to 8/10, because like RH, I don't think it's really quite good enough at any one thing to hang out at 9, and it doesn't feel quite as complete in that "just genuinely enjoyable throughout" factor that CT/PS4 have.

Mana Khemia 2 down to 6/10. Really wish Ulrika's path could have maintained the funny. Seeing how it doesn't and realising that the gameplay isn't good enough to really justify the 7 by itself (too easy + bosses are too rare), yeah, down it goes a little. Still above 1 for now, though.

Final Fantasy 5 hasn't changed numerically but I did push it up a lot. I realised that I had been unconsciously thinking of it as my third favourite (numbered) FF for a while, but my RPG Ratings weren't reflecting this! Yeah, its gameplay edge beats out FF7's story edge to me these days. After some thought I decided the correction mostly needed to be made to FF5, although FF7 did fall a little.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #398 on:** July 31, 2011, 09:26:10 PM »

Huh. Wish I'd post-dated this for my own records, but anyway.

Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky added at 8/10.

Twilkitri · « **Reply #399 on:** August 07, 2011, 03:58:02 AM »

Struck *Tales of Phantasia (SNES) from the list (was at 4/10).
Added Tales of Phantasia (Advance) at 5/10.
