It's been out for 3 days, and considering the way it's set up, you can
even begin to explore what it has to offer in in a mere day or
three. *shakes his head sadly* Goodbye to you.

I'm not as much as a gamer as I once was... I'm doing well if I get 4-5 hours of playtime in a week.
I'm into Nintendo's stuff, but that's cuz of my age... when I
first got into gaming, Nintendo was the only worthwhile system in
town. Years later, the Genesis hit, though it didn't appeal to
me, and while the Playstation was a great system, the PS2 has a severe
lack of good games... not that the Cube had too many either, but
handheld gaming's where it's at for me now, it's much more like the
stuff I grew up with, gameplaywise, but with better graphics.

Well yes, there's the Metal Gear Solid games, Prince Of Persia stuff, ICO, and the unforgettable Silent Hill 2.
I just muchly prefer the PS1 classics: Xenogears, Silent Hill,
Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy Tactics, Lunar 1/2, Vagrant Story, THPS 1,
Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night, and the original Metal Gear Solid,
among others...

Those were great games, I just played through Symphony of the Night again not too long ago. Hands down though the best system for games was the Super Nintendo, with Donkey Kong Country, Chrono Trigger, FFIV - FFVI, ect.

No kidding! SNES is my
favorite system of all time, which is why I'm into the GBA/DS stuff
(it's like the SNES era all over again... hardware of the GBA is
comprable to a more powerful SNES, and developers see that... DS
is like the N64's hardware, but with SNES-style development).
Ah, the memories... the games you mentioned, as well as Contra
III, Zelda III, Castlevania IV, Tales Of Phantasia, Mario World, Mario
Kart, SUPER METROID, Secret Of Mana, hell... even Mario RPG was
good.

I had so much fun playing Mario RPG, and Super Metroid was actually voted the best game of all time

Dragon Warrior IV blew away FFII and III IMO, I can still get into that game, it's great!

The chapter system was incredibly innovative for its time... hell, DWIV beat a lot of *SNES* RPGs

It did, the chapter system was much more innovative than the class system FF had, but FFIV surpassed it, and so did Chrono Trigger (my all time favorite RPG)

I still can't think of a single game that comes anywhere close to topping Chrono Trigger.

With it's 20some endings, many sidequests and puzzles, magnificent storyline and dialogue, it's definately hard to top.

A word on video games...
I've been playing GTA: San Andreas A LOT lately, and.. the game is perfect, everything I expected and a lot more. But the missions are too easy! There are only a few of those missions that REALLY drive you mad.
