Well, I'll get IX because it's coming on DS/DSi.
I never got VIII, and never will, unless they put it on a platform I already own (DS/DSi, please)
As far as I am concerned, there are about 3 really good RPG series out there...
DW/DQ, Phantasy Star, and Hydlide. That's it. The rest of it sucks, mostly.
Let me clarify. For me, it only qualifies as RPG if it is menu-driven and turn-based.
Games like Castlevania, which I enjoy very much...or Metroid...those are not RPG's, per-se....I consider them "shooters." or quest games...not really true RPG's.
That said, I'm still hoping for them to release Phantasy Star Zero for download on the DSi. In English, please.
