I feel that! I love FFVIII, I was the only one of my friends to figure out how to MASTER the junctioning system! and let me tell you that was 133 hours of my life well wasted! I hate that disney changed his name in Kingdom Hearts! they even went so far as to explain why he changed his name...lame!
I've also beaten FFI, II, VII, X, and almost beat XII but it got stolen and I want to play XIII cuz it looks so fucking sexy!!!
I have never owned a nintendo product so all my faves are old sega gems and PS1-2 games.
Shining Force 2 and 3, Dragon Force, Albert Odyssey, Legend of Oasis, Breath of Fire 3, Xenogears, Final Fantasy Series, Star Ocean 2nd Story, and my absolute fave:
Final Fantasy Tactics (that game NEVER gets old to me)
RPG's are a dying breed, well japanese RPGs. i not saying there dying out, but originality is. The only RPG's i like were the super mario RPG's on the gameboy advance and the nintendo ds. both of these games offered a lot of humor, in which most RPGs are too seriously.
