While 2007 was great if you move shadow hearts out of the "meh" tier we have a deal.

I don't think any of these are necessarily "meh" (I loved Shadow of Destiny, and ZoE has the honor of being The 2nd Runner's predecessor!) but I was trying to take into account objective-ish metrics like Metacritic (I'm not sure if the general user reception for the first Shadow Hearts was in line with critics or not).

I agree when looking back our perceptions can be clouded by a number of things, in my case Shadow Hearts Covenant enhances the series much like The 2nd Runner does with ZoE, so my subconscious rates those games in a more collective sense than other similar games.
