Every JRPG I've Completed - Worst to Best

I'll be using flexible criteria for defining a JRPG. Generally, it will be a game that follows the 'Japanese way' of making RPGs. This means I might exclude some Japanese games that don't fit my view of a JRPG and include some non-Japanese games that do.

About my JRPG journey: I'm really new to JRPG's but I've been playing them non-stop since I started it.

How I rank things:
0 - 4: Dislike
5: Neutral (I don't like it, but I don't dislike it)
6: Good
7: Really good
8: Great
9: Almost perfect
10: Masterpiece
