Eh, these games have been rereleased more than Final Fantasy (granted not in the US). But I'm sure they'll each sell a quick mil for Square-Enix, good for them. Pass. *-neo

I love Oblivion too but Eternal Sonota looks like the hotness. Blue Dragon was a little meh from what I played on the demo. Mass Effect is going to be awesome though, I can tell. The remakes will be cool I have only played 1-4 and 8 so I will be picking these up. I have 7 on PS1 but I haven't cracked it open yet.

Or you can consider the games brilliant in simplicity. Forcing a good formula to evolve does not always a good decision make.

It's not a good formula. It was a formula forged from technical limitations. The series creator even said he never wanted it to play that way, but that's all they could do back then, but they won't let him change it now. The fact is it's shallow, boring, repetitive, and the opposite of fun. Fucking fix it.

Dragon Quest 8 was incredible. If they keep that same style of gameplay then I'm sold.

I enjoyed the world/story/characters/voice acting/exploring a ton more than I liked the gameplay.

I mean the battles/leveling system was fun, but it was about as generic as generic can get.

Meh, I've played a lot of RPGs with many different battle systems and it was refreshing to have something simple but that worked well. They don't fuck too much with what works they just add small improvements.

Ys has them both licked for remakes. Shin Megami Tensei, too.
