I am with you my favorite game is Shining Force III on the Saturn. I played the Japanese scenario 2 and 3 before the patches were made. I need to go back and experience them in English. Other than Shining Force III my favorite series is Dragon Quest. I am currently playing VII on the 3ds and XI on the switch.
It's not a popular choice among series fans but I love Dragon Quest VII the best. I put 103 hours into the PS1 game and have been really enjoying the 3ds remake.
