PST moved to 10/10.

Adding MK2 at 4/10. Based on playing one path, I was inclined to give it a 6/10. Perfectly average Gust material, nothing real special about it, but combat's diverting enough. Second path just turns into a slog; you've seen most of this before, and the cast on neither side is sufficiently endearing to make going through it again fun. Honestly, it even seems like they did less with the battle system than they did in MK1; much less variety to characters' moves (mostly just different flavors of damage), less exploitation of cards (oh sure, you can add them, but Roxis skillset shows there's more they can do with the system when they want to), etc. The fact that you have to go through it all twice for an actual ending is just insulting. Hard mode is really the only thing it has on MK1. I'll finish the game, but I don't expect my impression to improve much.

Added Megaman Starforce 3 at 8/10.  Really fun game, best of the series, etc.  Fans of the first two should get their hands on this.

Added Persona 4 at 4/10.  Game just didn't impress me, though I am willing to give it points at things I will acknowledge it did right...just not enough to offset the frustration/boredom factor the game gave me.

Moved MMSF2 down to 7/10.  reflecting on it, game is closer to MMSF1 than MMSF3 in worth, so deserves to be reflected in ranking that way!

Edit: 2 games I never added discovered!

Tales of Symphonia 2: Dawn of the New World added at 7/10.  People who say its a horrible sequel idea and such are crazy; game is just a generic Tales game with a preset setting and cast, and handled in a way that doesn't spit on the first game.

Chaos Wars added at 6/10. HOW IS A GAME THAT IS SUBPAR IN EVERY DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY FUN!? HOW!?!?!?

Also, considering altering my lists to start having x.5s, cause the sections are getting way too big...

Lessee here...

MUA2 at 8/10. God damn it, it's like they keep fucking up the formula. They add Gambit but remove most of the customization options. I will say it did a better job of making the Civil War conflict not black and white than the comic did.

ToV at 9/10. This game is mostly carried by its gameplay, which as with most Tales games that are not ToL, is quite fun, as unlike most RPGs, random battles are not a chore. Was on par to beat out ToS as my favorite game in the series, but there's just too many aborted plot points, and no real reason not to play as Yuri (as opposed to ToS, where Zelos, Kratos and Regal are all better than Lloyd once you figured out to spell-cancel shit).

Added Atelier Annie at a low 8/10. - Fun game, but kind of missing something.
Moved Atelier Iris down to 7/10 (-1) - Doesn't feel like it should be that high.
Moved Atelier Iris 3 up to 8/10 (+1) - Doesn't feel like it should be that low.
Added Demon's Souls at a low 8/10. - Has a few issues otherwise it could easily be higher.  This might be too high, but it'll work for now.
Added Mana Khemia 2 at a 9/10. - Guess it works here?  Maybe higher but I dunno.
Added Cross Edge at a low 10/10. - Has its issues but the gameplay is badass so I don't care.

Added:

VPDS at 4/10.  Flawed game is flawed in more ways than it should be flawed
FESD at 3/10.  In the end, game removes a lot of the good features of modern FEs while retaining the very basic ideas (which aren't enough), and while this isn't TOO bad, we have to factor in that the game is so god damn BORING
Blue Dragon at 8/10.  Nice little fluff game that does a bunch of things right and very little wrong outside of being too easy, while not really standing out in anything.
KH 358/2 Days at 7/10.  See, Chain of Memories, this is what you SHOULD have been!
Barkley: Insert Long Subtitle Here at 6/10.  Its Barkley, that gave it most of its points right there <_<
[21:39] <+Mega_Mettaur> so Snow...
[21:39] <+Mega_Mettaur> Sonic Chaos

I coulda sworn I had made one of these already, but I'm not on the list on the first page. *sad face*

~

Whelp, looks I have something to write about at work today then! *poses*

~~

I guess I'll try to rate games that I have at least beaten once, otherwise the list will sadly just drag on...

~~~

Also, I'm not going to bother with ports unless the game had been altered drastically.

10 - My favorite games of all time. The aren't perfect, but they are perfect enough in my eyes.

Suikoden 3
Final Fantasy 4
Final Fantasy 6

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

9 - Excellent games that are just a shade below my all time favorites.

Tales of the Abyss
Persona 4
Final Fantasy Tactics
Ogre Battle
Earthbound - Wins the most bizarre RPG ever award or something.
Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 1 and 2
Chrono Trigger
Suikoden 2
Persona 2
Persona 3 Fes
Wild ARMs
Xenogears
Shadow Hearts 2: Covenant

Fire Emblem
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Fire Emblem:

Illusions of Gaia
Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core

7 - Shades of greatness, but with less lasting appeal.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Final Fantasy 1
Grandia 2
Lufia: And the Fortress of Doom
Pokemon - Hey, fuck it. There's too many of them, so I;ma bunch them all together!
La Pucelle Tactics
Mana Khemia: Alchemist of Al-Revis
Shadow Hearts
Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits
Super Robor Wars: Alpha
Soul Nomad: And the World Eaters

6 - Played it beat it, had some fun. Might deserve another playthrough...eventually.

Breath of Fire 1
Breath of Fire 2
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

Grandia
Wild ARMs 2 - This game could use a new translation for a better experience.

Don't knock WA2's translation. It's wacky nonsensicalness made that boring middle of the game so much more interesting. Also, it gave us Justine's speech to Brad where he explains that when your path is foggy, courage becomes a sword that destroys the universe or something.
