Lufia DS! Remake of Lufia 2!
'I love RPGs because I love to explore worlds' -- Do you really believe this?
I think that an area to explore feels larger if there are confines placed around it. Sometimes this makes the game feel much more epic. Compare Fable or Dragon Age to Oblivion. Many Japanese RPGs excel at this also, because they tend to have large, empty world maps, but the places to visit are bustling and very detailed.

What are you thinking about right now?
Take my breath away.
I don't agree with at all.
Case in point, the two (separate at different points of the game) bosses of Death and Sariun in Romancing Saga for the PS2. Both of these bosses kicked the SHIT out of me when I first went head to head with them. I died over and over again until I figured out the most badass strategy ever and finally WON.
Just emphasizing what you've said here. The boss battles in Romancing SaGa really are amazing. It's too bad that the game is so much like Final Fantasy that people were expecting that kind of experience and weren't willing to give it a fair shake and understand its mechanics.
Otherwise I think you guys have mostly covered it. The best moments in games are when they are very challenging, but fair. It's a real rush to be able to see a solution, but to have to fight and work towards it. Well-balanced RPGs have an easy time of this because the mechanics are usually pretty transparent (all of your options are visible in a menu after all), and so piecing together a sophisticated strategy is a lot more logical than it is an action game when things are exploding all around you.

Childhood Nostalgia
He was originally called "the bat-man" (not a proper noun) when he was introduced in the 30s or something like that. I guess that DC decided to stick with Batman has a proper name eventually. However, since the new movie series is a reboot telling an origin story, the filmmakers decided to go with his original name.
Assassins Creed 2
I like this game a lot. The original AC was great for about an hour or so, but then it ran out of content. The sequel is full of content and has a lot of different things to do. I would have liked combat that was more challenging and technical, but I think the objective of combat in AC II is to serve as an obstacle rather than a challenge. The Assassin's Tomb missions, which are classic 3D platforming segments that remind me a lot of 1999, are a great touch.
My only criticism is that there is so much to do that there is little incentive to advance the story, so I'm starting to burn out on the game after 20 hours or so of play without having actually proceeded very far into the game.
