Mana Khemia added at 7/10. Cool gameplay, has some neat plot ideas, and two or three really awesome characters. Doesn't excel enough (slow start, in particular) overall to merit inclusion with the more solid 8's, though.

And the usual round of Elfboy downgrades as games age poorly:

Wild Arms ACF: -1, now at 6/10. Still has too much of WA1's poor directions (argh), not to mention plot.
Grandia 2: -1, now at 5/10. Braindead easy gameplay has its limits, especially when saddled with GRANDIA PLOT (it is good for Grandia plot, but still earns the label).
Digital Devil Saga: -1, now at 4/10, where it began. Yeah, I think DDS2 was pulling its score up a bit.

Erwin Schrödinger will kill you like a cat in a box.
Maybe.

I'll admit, I don't know as many RPGs as I probably should...
Also, I personally don't know what games count as RPGs - for example, I'd still say Fire Emblem & Disgaea are more strategy than RPG, and Kingdom Hearts is more Adventure, but I'll include them here anyways.

5/5 - Pure awesome.
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy IX
*Persona 4
Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call (Nocturne) - One of my favourite two games ever. Can't decide between this and Smash Bros. Melee.

4/5 - Epic.
*Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
Breath of Fire IV
Final Fantasy IV
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Kingdom Hearts II
Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal
Shadow Hearts: Covenant
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2
*Super Mario RPG

3/5 - Good.
*Disgaea - Mighta been better if I actually owned it and could finish it.
*Etrian Odyssey - Starts off slow, gets better.
Final Fantasy I
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
*Golden Sun
Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
Suikoden IV - Yes, you read that right. I always get Viki early, so the sailing's never a big problem. =P
Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria

2/5 - Bad.
*Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
*Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King - Too slow, too repetitive. Might've improved, but I got bored.
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-2 - Not necessarily bad, as long as you abuse the Skip Scene feature.
*Kingdom Hearts
*Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Pokemon Battle Revolution - As below.
Pokemon Colosseum - Not bad by all rights, but too limited.
Pokemon Stadium - As above.

1/5 - Awful.
*Final Fantasy III (DS)

0/5 - Pure crap.
*Final Fantasy XII


I've probably forgotten quite a few here... Ah, well. ^^;

I am going to say that SO4 is probably an 8/10. It's a fun game and I'm happy that a SO is a fucking sci-fi game for once, but they seriously drew out the angsty bit in that game. Also, it needed more STEPHEN KENNI.

Belatedly added MMXCM at 6/10, moved FF1 down a notch because...time, it has not been kind.

Also moved US down because, seriously, what was it doing with games that are actually playable.

Added Star Ocean at a 3/10.  Game sucks, but is breakable enough that you can just steamroll it with less pain.
Added Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope at 3/10.  Could've been great, but has too many polish issues and bad design decisions.  After a point it just kept dropping and here it ends.  Still kneejerking it better than most 3s, but not good enough to fit in the 4/10 slot.

Moved Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 from 3/10 to 4/10 (+1).  The more I think about it, my feelings for the game were partially determined by my mood at the time, and it's not as bad as I thought.  Persona 4 kind of helped prove this.  Still think it's not a good game but doesn't deserve to be with the 3s.  Granted, could change my mind on that again.

Lowered VP2 to a 4. Discussing it in chat makes me wonder why it is a 5. <_<
