Since I got the dumb notion into my head to alphabetize these JRPGs and that our list tech has "evolved" to limit ordered lists to 100 items or less, I guess I'm making another one of these to manage the excess. The first part can be found over here, for anyone curious.
Currently, this list is for every "S" game forwards, which will make a bit of room on the old list that'll hopefully keep me from removing every item that gets bumped off that list onto this one. Dunno what all this inside baseball talk is in aid of, but there you are.
(Because this is going to ping everyone's notifications, including ZP's, I'll just tell you all that it's safe to skip this one. Most of it is old news.)

Unfairly maligned. Except the mazes, those are entirely justified in their malignity. But the rest is awesome. Especially the music.
What can you say about Secret of Mana that hasn't already been said? "There's no hardcore nudity so this game sucks"? Wait, this is the internet, what am I thinking.
Shadow Hearts is the shiznit. Lovecraft is underrepresented in JRPGs in general, unless you count dudes like Necron getting pulled out of the cosmos' ass in the eleventh hour.
This is when the franchise really started killing it with their off-kilter sense of humor, while maintaining its enjoyably surreal setting and vast scope. I don't need to tell you why a pro-wrestler fighting with a giant frozen tuna is funny. Do I?
As in, the GBA remake of the first one. The graphical update really did wonders for making me want to play this over the original, which I'm a little ashamed to admit.
Still holds up. The grid dungeon crawler format is as old as dirt, but this game threw enough things in here to keep it interesting. Odd to think that most people know the Shining series from its strategy RPGs, but it's really all over the place. I'm going to make more of an effort to chase the others down.
How do you eat a hamburger? I'm so rich. Ice break.
Check out that hoochie next to you, you'd throw her in the TV, right? She shoot you down? Right?
You could do a lot worse than Skies of Arcadia. I'm loopy for Loopers.
"Rebuild our village!" Yeah, I'll get right on that *kills slimes*
