Finished a few new games recently (namely Suikoden and M&L4).  Figured I'd edit this list here.

Added:
Paper Mario at 7/10
The Last Story at 6/10
Project X Zone, starred, at 4/10.

4 is a much higher rating than I've given any other game I haven't finished. At some point I'd like to come back to the game and either take a stab at finishing it, or lower its score if I can't.

Modified:
FF5 up one to 8/10
Pokemon Emerald down one to 7/10
Fire Emblem 6 down one to 6/10

FF5's one of those games that has aged really well to me, and at only the third RPG I've notched nine playthroughs for it was looking really silly at 7. Pokemon Emerald, meanwhile, isn't that much better than the other pokemon games to me, so down it goes, and FE6 is largely a victim of rebalancing, though the cumbersome map design and ninja reinforcements do both weigh on me.

Erwin Schrödinger will kill you like a cat in a box.
Maybe.

Lots of additions time!  Apparently I haven't done this in a while!  Probably still missing a bunch:

Additions:
Xenoblade: 9/10
Mother 3: 3/10
Last Story: 6/10
Endless Frontier: 6/10
Project X Zone: 6/10
Pokemon BW2: 8/10
Pokemon XY: 8/10
Fire Emblem 5: 4/10
Fire Emblem Awakening: 8/10
Fire Emblem 12: 6/10
FF4TAY: 6/10
X-com: Enemy Unknown: 8/10

Changes:
VP2 -2 to 7/10:  I still like the game but geez what was it doing so high for so long?
WA2 -1 at 6/10: Yeah, can't defend this game being at 7/10.
Pokemon RBY -1 at 5/10:  As game gets older, becomes harder to defend it.
Pokemon GSC -1 at 6/10:  Similar to RBY, really.
Pokemon DP -1 at 6/10: Uh, yeah, we know the issues here, they only start looking worse when later games in the series don't have them.
Pokemon RSE -1 at 7/10:  As newer games come out, these games start looking less good by comparison, though I don't suspect it'll drop below this; there's only so low a good game can drop, but yeah, can't see it being on the same level as the 8/10 Pokemon games.
Grandia -1 at  5/10: You are not above average by any stretch anymore!
Fire Emblem Gaiden -1 to 2/10:  Yeah, this game is just kind of bad.
Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon +1 to 4/10:  I was too hard on this game in hindsight.
Final Fantasy 1 Soul of Chaos -1 at  5/10: Yeah, can't defend this game as being better than the original given how half assed it feels.
Final Fantasy 2 Soul of Rebirth -1 at 5/10: This is still better than FF2, but it still has a number of FF2's intrinsic problems so hard to justify it as anything above average.
Final Fantasy 13-2 -2 at 6/10: Takes on step forward and 3 steps back now that I think about it relative to FF13 so...-2 points!
Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2 -2 at 6/10.  Really dunno how I talked myself into thinking it was 8/10 material.
Dragon Quest 4 -1 at 5/10: Game's so utterly average so average rating it gets.  Branching from that, also added in the "(DS)" indicator to note this rating applies to both the original and the DS version.

FF4TAY: 6/10

Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2 -2 at 6/10.  Really dunno how I talked myself into thinking it was 8/10 material.

Probably because you have games like FF4TAY in your 6s.

Been a while since I updated this! Not too much RPG playing these past couple years I guess. Anyway, additions:

-Baldur's Gate (5) and Throne of Bhaal (9)
-Disgaea D2 hangs with everything else in the series not numbered Quatro (6)
-Romancing SaGa 3 (6). I was actually tempted to give a higher rating here! Maybe on replays.
-Breath of Death VII and Shadowrun Returns (5)
-Moved Odin Sphere down a notch because it didn't stand up as well on replays as everything else I had at a 10.

Added Pokemon X at 8/10. Best game in the series thanks to smoothing out enemy competence; the game is just much more engaging throughout. Plus dat pokemon availability.

Project X Zone down to 3/10. Yep, I won't be picking this one back up.

Erwin Schrödinger will kill you like a cat in a box.
Maybe.

Sent a few mostly unfinished games down a rank.

Shin Megami Tensei 4 added at 7/10.  Without a FAQ, it'd be more like 6/10 since good luck getting the neutral (aka non-sucky) ending FAQless + speeding up assorted other annoyances like demon fusion.

Fire Emblem Awakening moved from 9 to 10/10.  Here's the complete list of RPGs I've played through three times or more since my freshman year in college (thus excluding early too-much-time-on-hands SNES era): Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 7 (PC), Suikoden 3, and Fire Emblem Awakening.  That's a pretty select list, and FEA is the only moderately recent one, so yeah.

FWIW, I try to use "absolute" scores rather than "relative to all games I've played" scores, and the scale vaguely in tune with your average VG reviews site.  For giggles, I ran the averages, and to convert my ratings to relative.... the mean score is 6.8, the median is 7, and the std. deviation 1.9.  Which about squares up with reviewers....  7 = it's a game.  5 = this game has deep problems.  9 = it's a really good game.
