Dude, I'm getting a Wii!

Jesus, that's more expensive than like 80% of the NEW stuff on the PSN. I can get like 3 PS1 games for as much as a single game on the Wii from what you guys are saying. Well, probably going to stay away from that, then. I'm okay with paying like $5 at most for an old game that costs them literally nothing to produce with presumably no benefits going to the original creators.

I would suggest the Trauma series. There's a lot of motion control used, but it's the direct opposite of flailing. Plus the whole med sim is a pretty unique genre in itself. As for RPGs, I'd suggest the Last Story when it eventually comes out in NA. It's a action RPG made by Mistwalker studios and directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the guy who created Final Fantasy. Though seeing that you didn't say much about FF besides Crystal Chronicles, I dunno if you'd be interested or not. It does look pretty different compared to the last few numbered FFs though.

Well, I made this topic with the impression that most of Southperry is already familiar with my tastes, loves and hates as I have been incredibly vocal about it in the past. I have a very love-hate relationship with the Final Fantasy series... but I usually play them all anyway.

...I just looked at some images of Last Story on IGN (first link on google after wikipedia and nintendo) and uh... what is it? It looks like a shooter or something. Is it supposed to, in essence, play like an updated Parasite Eve? Kind of looks like the direction they're going. Except with MECHS.

Also hahahahaha the name. FINAL FANTASY CREATOR INTRODUCES: THE LAST STORY. One track mind much?
