Graaahhhhh can't make up my mind

You guys decide for me. Here is the list of projects I want to do. I want an opinion, what do you think sounds coolest? I don't care what sounds easier, I don't care what's more reasonable. Just choose what you think is the coolest and I'll start focusing a large amount of effort into it. I just can't choose something on my own.
1. Endaron
2. Cloudscape (wow, I desperately need to rename this before I get sued by Jagex ) - a game that is set in the sky and draws quite a bit of lore from steampunk influences (how do you think the islands float). Everyone can fly, and there are several species of aero-humans that are more or less like birds. The graphics style I'm imagining is something simple, with some complex effects creating dynamic, billowing, layered clouds. I imagine it as being just light, airy and surreal. There would be landmasses in both the sky and on in the surface below the clouds. You would be able to explore both. There would be seas on the surface, but you're a bird-man, you can't swim. The AI would be dynamic in a sense that they would have their own personalities and could join forces in different legions. I haven't decided if I'd make it online or offline. Obviously, it'd start as an offline idea and work its way online if I decided to make it that way. Did I mention I want to use real-world physics and wind patterns for flight? This is probably the least realistic but if I knew people would play it, I'd work for as long as it took to get it working.
3. A platformer that would be set in grayscale and feature a dark, mature story.
4. Another platformer set in a more friendly atmosphere, based on music (the main character plays either a guitar or a banjo...why not both? ) and featuring a lot of humor.
5. An RPG with the same quirky style and humor as the Mother series, but significantly different in story and setting, as well as the obvious, like the characters being significantly different.
