i've got quite a few rpgs under my belt, and i must say, the thing i do most is just play what interests me most at the moment. Don't force yourself to play something just because you need to finish it, you'll lose interest fast that way. to me at least, but maybe thats cuz im not as hardcore as many other people at gaming. I tend to get bored after a while and take a break from gaming as a whole for a while, rather than switch games. i hate the gear-changing.
But i can relate:
back when i was younger, Shining Force, Lunar and FF3 dominated my time. of course, i finished both Lunars before the other two because...well, its what i wanted to play. FF3 came next, Shining force last. Strategy? no strategy. just play what you feel like. But i'd more suggest to stick with ONE first and finish it overall then go onto the next. otherwise you'll lose interest in one of the others because, well, lets face it. all rpgs have the same core element.
Think i had this same dilemna with Tales of Symphonia, VP: Silmeria and Tales of Abyss. Go figure.
Btw, i still think you should get SH: Homecoming and finish that before anything in your lineup no matter what, but thats just me :o. i said so before and ill say it again, shits amazing. Course they coulda done more, but i'm content at the moment.

It's nice to see someone can relate to the situation...and wow..that was quite the dilemma you were in. Three really great titles. I wouldn't know which one to keep playing, lol.
I think this is kind of like writing an essay. Once I get started and get the ball rolling, then I'm okay, but it's just deciding in the beginning..that's the toughest part for me. As for what I'm going to play after Alter Code F, well..I haven't decided on that yet :P
Just to give you guys an idea of what's on my list right now:
Legend of Heroes VI: Sora no Kiseki First Chapter, Legend of Heroes VI: Sora no Kiseki Second Chapter, Legend of Heroes VI: Sora no Kiseki Third Chapter (all for PSP, not PC versions), Mana Khemia (PS2), Ys V (PS2), Growlanser IV (PS2), Tales of Destiny 2 (PSP), Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana (PS2), Tales of Rebirth (PS2), Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut (PS2), Tales of Phantasia -Full Voice Edition- (PSP), Tales of Eternia (PSP), Star Ocean: First Departure (PSP), Star Ocean: Second Evolution (PSP), Suikoden V (PS2), Magna Carta: Tears of Blood (PS2), just to name the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
I actually composed a list in notepad one day a long time ago, but I can't remember all of them. Not to mention..it's just going to get worse this Christmas since I'll be buying more games. Such as:
Persona 4 (PS2), Ryu Ga Gotoku: Kenzan! (PS3), Initial D: Extreme Stage (PS3), Valkyria Chronicles (PS3), The Last Remnant (PS3), Silent Hill: Homecoming (PS3), and Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Codes (PS2)
Man..sometimes it's tough being a gamer -_-
