Edit on that last comment: Another problem I had with FR is the opposite of Torna, where everything feels rushed. FR has so much substance in its story that it could feasibly warrant a full-sized game, but it gets stymied by being forced to be the length of a DLC campaign.

@Shu_Watch I originally had reasoning for my placements, but I accidentally reset my list and didn't wanna do it again. In short:
FR and 3 is a tossup. FR has the better gameplay loop, but 3 has more customizability and music.
2 is very liable to change, bc I spent my original run comparing it to 1, which was really unfair.
I will stand by the idea that Torna was way too drawn out. It was 20 hrs of gameplay for a story that could have been told in 3~5 hrs. It's padded to the gills by forcing you to do almost every sidequest in the game, and that irked me enough that the places where Torna shined couldn't overtake it.
