Revisiting I Am Setsuna: A good idea that loses steam near the end.
It's fine if you just have an itch for a "throwback" RPG.

Dragon Quest IX (9): Clearly, they were spent after the greatness that was Dragon Quest VIII (PS2).
Lacks strong emotional storytelling; leans on nonsense quests.
B-
Bravely Second: I never realized just how short this was.
I couldn't understand why so many of the series' fans didn't like Second (and still don't).
C+
Bravely Default: Good story, unique engine, mashed like Play-Doh instead of sculpted to fine art.
Unique for its time. Frustrating at points.

Final Fantasy X-2: Improved gameplay, regressed on (almost) everything else.
A better game, but not a better story or experience.

Revisiting Ephemeral Fantasia: Some games just should never have existed.
Mama. I know you wanted a review that you could read through. With no cussing and [CENSORED]. I tried, but I still gotta do this.

Revisiting Suikoden V: Improved, yet regressed.
I didn't play it the first time until well after it had been out for a while.
D-
Revisiting Xenosaga I: Felt like a sequel to Impossible Mission.
I originally skipped the entire Xenosaga trilogy.
