Loving Zelda on the Wii.
Rouge Galaxy isn't out over here yet, but I loved their last game so I'm really looking forward to it. With FF XII coming out next week it's RPG heaven.

Zelda is fantastic and the further I get into it, the more I love it. I think the dungeons are incredibly well designed, and there are so many interesting puzzles. I am playing FFXII as well and that is an amazing game also, although I'm still early in the game and it requires some grinding for money and experience
 . Rogue Galaxy sounds interesting, but not sure I'll be getting it since I don't have time to play any but top-rated games these days.

I was refraining from saying anything, but Rogue Galaxy has the most mind-numbing narrative I've ever witnessed. I'm rather incredulous that something this poor was glossed over in previews and reviews. Friends who are jRPG afficionados state that this is status quo for the genre, but I find it very hard to swallow.
Combat is fun enough, and really the primary reason I continue playing, albeit at and dramatically decelerated pace after the horrible Jungle Planet, Juraika. The Revelation board is quite similar to the License board in FF12, which is fine enough, and they have what I think will be an interesting weapon/item creation minigame with the so-called Factory that I've yet to unlock. So the physical act of playing is pretty good, but I promise you the story, pacing and dialog is worse than say a Dragon Ball Z or other cheap, made for tv anime. Just to make my perspective a little clearer for you guys, I never play jRPG's, with the last being a partial playing of FF7. I'm an all Western RPGer, such as the Ultimas, Wasteland, Fallout, Arcanum and Planescape being representative of what I grew up with. I played Oblivion for 120 hours, and I consider that to be a pretty poor game with regards to narrative as well, but compared to RG its a masterpiece. I'm playing FF12 and its absolutely brilliant in every aspect. One of the most mature and exquisitely delivered stories I've ever seen. If you asked me days prior to playing it, what I thought of Final Fantasy, I would've lumped it into the same category as a Rogue Galaxy, so believe me when I say I was stunned. I had similar hopes for RG after than, but it wasn't meant to be... ...and yea Zelda rocks.  Cheers |

I'm planning on picking up Rogue Galaxy after a price drop.
I picked up Zelda with my Wii, two weeks after the original release so it would have been real early December (the 3rd, I think), and I still haven't even opened it. It's not that I don't want to play it, it's just that I have a stack of other games to play, and for all I've been hearing about how REALLY long Twilight Princess is, I don't want to start it up and end up neglecting all my other games for a couple months until I finish it. |

I competed Zelda over Christmas in about 60 hours, taking time to enjoy the side quests.
(Although I'm sure some of that time can be explained by the fact I wasn't paying full attention to the hint at the start, that you could call your horse by blowing on a piece of grass, and as such ended up walking most places.)
I thought it was a really fun game, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I can't wait for the next one! Am I the only one that thought Link looked kinda cute in this game?
