I think "RPG"'s like the FF series are awesome. Games like Morrowind bore the hell out of me. I bought elder scrolls and every time I try to play it, I can only play for about half an hour, and I have to force myself. I want a story. Sure, games like FFX and all that are linear, but they are just letting you play out a story. You can either read the novelization, watch a movie (usually anime) on it, or you can experience the story in it's highest form-- through an interactive game. There really is no better way to experience these stories. Also, Xenogears is one of these types of games, and well... if you put down Xenogears, pray that you never meet me on the streets, because I
will punch you on the nose, and I will put as much of my weight and strength into it as I can muster
