Aha, I have actually played soulblazer. I didn't find it to be as good as Illusion of Gaia or Terranigma(Illusion of Gaia is the clear winner of the series, IMO, but Terranigma was good too.)

I'm actually playing through The 7th Saga right now. I've never actually attempted to play through it before, but I have played it. Most likely, I stopped before because it's difficult. Well, this game is fucking hard. If you DON'T grind, you won't even make it to the first rune. The story is also mediocre at best. However, I still for some reason like the game. Can't really say why.
