Where do you think Phantasy Star III would rank given your review but it not being on here?

Oh hey, thanks for your question. I haven't finished PHIII and plan to come back to it eventually, so I'm not really sure. I did enjoy what I played a lot though. So far, maybe somewhere near the first Persona title?

Props for putting SMT1 so high, feel like the SNES MegaTen games can often be a tad overlooked

@LS197, hell yeah, love me some smt1. I got a little burnt out on the series a few years ago but sincerely can't wait to play smt2 and nocturne again and actually finish them when I get around to it again. I'll keep updating this list as I go along
