Radical Dreamers (I didn't even know it existed for a while)
Chrono Cross (Best Game Ever created IMO)
Final Fantasy Tactics (Though the remake is giving it some nice attention)
Final Fantasy IX (C'mon! The best of all the numeric Final Fantasies!!)
Star Ocean (The fact that it wasn't released in English may be the reason, but this game wasn't even known by the majority until people took the time to realize 'Til the End of Time was at the end of the series.)
Mischief Makers (Great Game)

I'd like to note that Chrono Cross isn't really overlooked, it just wasn't a SUPER SMASHING HIT :\.

Anyway: Earthbound anybody? I'm sure most of you know what it is, but have you actually played it? Playing Ness in smash doesn't count. This has made some people go back and try the game (myself included), and I've found a masterpiece. If it weren't for smash, this game would be very overlooked. Now, it's just...kinda overlooked. Huge hit in Japan though.

Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus

I mean it wasn't that bad, I enjoy it a lot, just because the critics don't like it doesn't mean its bad.

Zone of the Enders 1 and 2 are awesome. I also liked Metal Arms and the entire Soul Reaver series and the .hack series is definitely a new favorite of mine.

Legend of Legaia's were awesome games. I wish I could find the first one for Ps1 again. I've been wanting to play that game again.

Ive got it in an emulator. I played it for an hour and just set the controller down, then turned the TV on. It just takes so long to do anyhting in there. But if its really good enough to get a good mention ill pick it up again.

Skies of Arcadia
I still don't know how so many gamers and advertizers let this one slip by. It's easily my favorite game.
