3, 7, and 8 are all very good. Theres better JRPG's, Seiken Densetsu 3, Tales of Phantasia, CT, and more. It's a good franchise, but highly overrated becasue of a few gems.
However to be completely honest, the fun and success you have in MMO's is generally determined purely by who you know. It will be very hard for you to start up at this point in a games cycle and be competitive. HOWEVER, if you were to get WoW now, and make level cap and learn the game a bit the next expansion (assuming it follows the same formula as the first one) should present a good opportunity for you to jump in.
FYI WoW should be about 40 bucks total for the expansion and game and 15$ a month.
I don't think anyone legitimately thinks Wii will fail from a business standpoint.Honestly, it's pretty pathetic sometime when I read topics about why wii is gonna fail. Mostly all the reasons are:
1. SHOVELWARE: Zomg111!!1 teh crappy third party support!!.
C'mon guys, have you forgotten about the ps2 already? it is the KinG of Shovelware. games were coming out ever other day and making money off brand names. Look at Wii, it's selling faster than ps2, why should it be any different?2. Third parties will leave them
this is kinda like the first point. People think the crappy third party ports and whatnot and motion sensing will make devs go away. Look at all the games coming out this holiday season: ignoring galaxy you have: MOH: H2, Ghost Squad, Geometry Wars, Soul Caliber Legends, Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga (not exclusive but this games gonna sell with brand name), Resi Evil:UC,too name a few.Those are really the main reasons that rly tick me off because there's so many important points ignored when these things are posted.
Look guys, Wii doesn't have the best online, but it's getting there, Wii doesn't have the best graphics, but it don't need em, What wii does have is great titles like galaxy and corruption and just you wait, Brawl and Mario Kart are gonna rock...and than there's always the star fox game that will see soon
Wii ain't seen nothin' yet.8)
Mr_Apple_Soup
But serious, lol. The games you listed are pathetic.
MOH:H2 ? No thanks, I'll play COD4.
Ghost Squad is like a 45 minute long Arcade port.
SC Legends already is a failure of a spinoff.
Lego Star Wars, ok, these games are enjoyable, but I played them a long time ago.
RE:UC ? Again, I'll take RE5 you have the crap spinoff.
And no, I'm sorry to say, but Wii is not 'getting there' when it comes to online. Friend codes are terrible, everything about the online is terrible. It's not even anywhere near what XBL did the day it came out, don't even start on PC.
Galaxy I agree is awesome, and I'm sure Corruption is too (though I think it sucked, but I was comparing it to MP1, so that in itself is not very fair). Brawl will be good if they keep in Wavedashing, Shffling and stuff (which we haven't heard about yet). Mario Kart is good as well, but nothing special. It's a 7.5-8ish game, hardly a system seller.
Wii is a secondary console, it simply doesn't function as a main console for most gamers.
Sales is a completely gimped argument from a gamers standpoint. Quality stuff never makes top sales, the best marketted crap does. This goes for EVERYTHING, not just games. And unless you have tons of stock in Nintendo you're gaining absolutely 0 benefit out of these sales.
[QUOTE="turgore"]It's funny that next year most AAA titles won't be shooters like NG2 , GTA4 ( action adventure) , Fable 2 , Banjo , Bren128
oooh lol so fable a AAA title now. nice to know.
oooh lol so killzone a AAA title now, nice to know.[QUOTE="mingo123"]yeah you are old fashion.....consoles like ps3 are built for HD movies not gamesRotaryRX7
What's Xbox 2.5for then? A community for 8 year olds to get together and scream nonsense on the mic?
Trying to justify friend codes ?[QUOTE="OlDirtyMiyamoto"]KH2 was better than KH1. Yes, that's right.
Standards change though, and 8.5 when KH2 came out is better than a 9 when KH came out. KH2 just didn't evolve as much as the standards, whereas Mass Effect did.
ProtossRushX
then how did twilight princess get triple A everywhere when the game had been finished for a year for the cube an had to be configured to work with a wii mote for a long time an then it got such a good score when the game was super old an from last gen
kingdom hearts was finihsed up an ready to go an went out on time an yet nintendo games that are held back for years an timed out perfectly for sales quota's are praised with 9's an 10's cuz of the word nintendo zelda or mario
Because the TP that was finished a year before KH2 was still astronomical amounts better than KH2.KH is a GOOD series. Not AMAZING. Just GOOD. Get Sora's key out of your ass.

[QUOTE="Zaxro"][QUOTE="Out_Kast3000"]Funny how you still haven't even named a WRPG that's been better.
Probably the only WRPG that should be put in the same sentence with some of the great JRPGs is KOTOR.
Out_Kast3000
Baulders gate II, Oblivion, Fallout, Icewind Dale, Planetscape torment to name a few.
Wheras since 1997 (earliest game on the WRPG list I said) the only even comparable JRPGS were ff7, ffx and CC.
Final Fantasy VIII and IX
Xenosaga 1 and 3
Xenogears
Kingdom Hearts
along with many others are better than any of those games you listed.
kthxbi
If you're going to name of a bunch of JRPG's at least choose good ones.
FFIII and Seiken Densetsu 3.
Other than Xenogears and FFVIII your list is trash.
