Well, that is open to debate, as 4, 5, 9 and Tactics are also standout gems in the series. I really think that these games should be judged on individual merit as opposed to being seen as a series, but that's just my opinion.

Back on topic, it is nice to see an actual opinion from someone with first hand knowledge of the game, and hopefully this will kill the majority of the whining and complaints.
