A montage of thoughts about several games
How did I miss this topic? I'll post on a few things only:
FFV's story was good, and was for the most part what a video games story should be like. I think what you mean instead of "not good" is not deep, not complex and not serious. FFV is about the battles and exploring, and the simple story is there enough to make going to the next place fun, but never it takes centre stage. Great, it doesn't have to. Which is the problem with....
FFVII. Great game. Fun game. On September 5th, 1997 (two days before street date!) when I first put it in, I was literally in awe and my heart beating. The problem is that for millions of kids it was their first RPG, and therefore defined to them what makes an RPG. Three things that were unique to FFVII for an RPG were incredibly long cutscenes, overly complex plot and very pretty graphics. It seems after FFVII came out and the genre blew up these things became mandatory for the new fans who outnumbered the old. They are not mandatory. I have a theory that people who played and loved FFVII as their first RPG cannot enjoy the Dragon Quest series. I'm not sure how true it is. For me Dragon Warrior I, II and III definied what an RPG should be like, and I have very different views to others about what makes an RPG good.
FFIX's battle system was so so so bad. Vivi was interesting because he was cute, he looked like a black mage, and he had the cliched "who am I?" story. The cutscenes were somewhat interesting. The meat of the game (the gameplay) was so incredibly dull mainly due to the battle system, but for other reasons as well.
Two great underrated RPGs: Wild ARMS (the first one) and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete.

Poirot Series 12
You got my hopes up.
Anyways, the first two episodes are out, and they were both good, the second being better than the first. The next two should be even better.

Lufia DS! Remake of Lufia 2!
So you basically have no emotion towards any games before they are released, because that emotion might be wrong, and that would be bad?
The trailer told me it's an action/RPG on the DS. It also tells me it's another game that does 3D graphics on the DS despite it always looking bad. The action/RPG elements it showed me didn't look innovative in the least and looked mediocre. I don't have any certainty in saying this, so I won't call it a judgment, but an impression.

I think judging a game based on movies of its gameplay isn't too unfair. We're not just looking at screenshots.

Should I buy a PS3 today?
Yeah, I really wanted something like PlayTV, but it's not available in Japan. Hopefully something similar comes out soon.
PS3's music options are rad actually, you don't even have to add your music to the harddrive, you can stream it from your computer. I was thinking of buying an ipod stereo for my living room, but this is a much better idea.
The wife is deadset against it (she wants an air conditioner for the upstairs study/reading/work room), but I think I'll pick one up with an HDMI cable tomorrow. Then next pay check I'll buy a game. I already downloaded tons of PSone classics for the PSP, so I will put some of those on my PS3.
