1. Final Fantasy III - I know I've been beating this drum a lot lately, but I really feel bad for how badly ignored FFIII gets from the Western community. It's not even like I feel it's top tier material myself, but I feel it was a solid effort that really grew beyond the awkward first entry and divisive second. It's not even like it's hated or divisive itself, it's just kind of ignored cause it took too long to be released outside of Japan.

2. Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter - I'll echo Fynn here and say this is easily the most underrated entry with many fans still blaming it for the series downturn when I honestly think it might be the team's most solid effort in terms of narrative and design. Though honestly, I almost want to say the whole BoF franchise cause it is really sad to see a franchise that used to be mentioned in the same breath as FF and DQ twenty years ago, now tends to have people look at you curiously because they've never heard of it. Capcom is to blame of course for not keeping up with the IP, but I feel even the fanbase itself has largely just disappeared as well.

3. SaGa franchise - Yes I'm going to lump the whole franchise together. While I'm not advocating for this as being one of the "greatest franchises of all time" spiel and lord knows it's experiencing a bit of a minor renaissance right now with four entries getting worldwide release in the last four years, but I feel the franchise still has a bad reputation clinging to it from a generation of players who hated it for not being like FF, and never giving the titles a fair shake. It's a really solid series for those willing to give it a real chance and has maintained a unique tone in a genre that tends to badly stay within certain safe zones.

4. Persona 2 Duology - I might as well just extend this to the first entry as well because it makes me sad how badly Atlus ignores the older Persona games in favor of their cash cow entries. I'm not even asking for like a remake or something, just some actual smurfing recognition with the crossover entries. P5 Arena needs to have Joker cross paths with the Suou boys from P2 seeing as how they are both police officers. Still, I feel P2 is actually one of the really great MegaTen titles that tends to get overshadowed by the behemoth Social Link entries of the series and even some of the mainline ones. I'm still annoyed Atlus never bothered releasing the PSP version of Eternal Punishment outside of Japan, and I don't see why they couldn't release the duology for the Switch of all things as a digital release. I just miss Persona when it still retained it's punk roots I guess.

5. Front Mission series - Slightly cheating again, I just don't really know why SE didn't try to market this series better in the west because I really feel like there is an audience for it here that just never got tapped correctly. It really needs the Collection treatment and finally let fans experience FM2, 5, and Gun Hazard.
