These are nice. But next you should do an article about the top underrated Jrpgs. I dont know about anyone else but I personally think Radiata Stories is better than most of these. Star Ocean 3 was also very good.

@1 For whatever reason, Star Ocean 3 didn't click with me. I loved Star Ocean 2, and thoroughly enjoyed Star Ocean 4, but despite 3 and 4 having very similar battle systems, something about 3 just felt off to me.

Still waiting on an HD remaster of the XenoSaga trilogy to finish them. i finished the first one but the second just ticked me off w its fight system, so i dropped them (regret regret).

There were so many great jrpg's for this system. Something the ps3 is deffinately lacking

@2 Its funny you should say that because I diisliked 4. But that was mostly because of the mediocre story and the head splittlingly bland/annoying voiceacting.

@6 Yeah, 4's voice acting was ATROCIOUS. I played half the game with Japanese language and English subtitles. The story was... not the greatest, I'll give you that, but I still enjoyed its epic scope and some of the callbacks to Star Ocean 2. For me, it was really the gameplay that sold it.
