Sword of Mana is a remake of "Final Fantasy Adventure", its pretty good. Pretty basic gameplay, easy to get into and a decent storyline.
From what I've played I rate these Mana games
Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Densetsu 3) > Sword of Mana > Secret of Mana > Children of Mana > Dawn of Mana
I havent really played Legend of Mana, but its considered to be far better than Seiken Densetsu 3 which is hard to believe ;p (its from players who played both games as well).
If you get Lufia via Emulation, if you want storyline order, play part 2 first (Rise of the Sinistrals), if you want to play in the order of release, get Lufia Fortress of Doom (I honestly found this to be better than the sequel/prequel due to the overall gameplay). I've played the Ruins of Lore but didnt get into it that much, possibly cause of how the design was on the GBC/GBA, I shall try it again though.
Lunar is absolutely a RPG you should check out!
FFTactics is absolutely one of the best SRPGs ever made, the remake practically owns in quality compared to recent SRPGs especially the Disgaea and the Tactics Advance sequels. If you beaten the original on PSX, I would suggest try out Luminous Arc, otherwise continue to play FFTactics for the PSP.
I didnt get into too much of Lunar Dragon Song/Genesis, looks like a average RPG, but who knows, it may surprise me like "From the Abyss", I'll need to play it again.
@Fire Emblem - Ah understandable ;p, man so many FE games to check out! I guess I'll try out Shadow Dragon!
Also since you love SRPGs, you should try out Shining Force series (on the sega genesis though, there are remakes on other systems). Shining Force 1 remake I believe is on the GBA or NDS, cant remember.

I've only beaten Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for GBA, and I loved it. Played the PS1 version and felt it's of similar quality.
As for Shining Force, I love those games, even the non SRPG iterations.
As for all the other games we've been talking about, I've always considered them, but never really had an opinion to base it off. I guess my To Get list has gotten a whole lot bigger. Ys Seven, and Lunar: Silver Star Harmony are likely the next games I'll buy, but I'll keep everything else in mind.
For now, I have too much to back track on. Infinite Space for DS has be intrigued, just got it recently as well, and Soma Bringer (I have the actual Japanese game and a patched ROM) could surprise me too.
