    Just bought a Wii!

    Actually, going to, but I want to keep the tradition and create the topic beforehand to prepare myself for all the JRPGs I could get.

    Basically, Xenoblade (and its INCREDIBLE OST) just sold me the system, along with The Last Story and Pandora's Tower coming up. What other RPGs should I get? I'm basically only considering RPGs, because I know the Wii has a lot of great titles but I only have so much money for it, specially that I often buy games for my PS3 and PSP.

    Arc Rise Fantasia is decent if you can get over the abysmal voice acting, really old school. Felt like a "modernized" SNES game to me. Worth checking out, especially if you can find it cheap.

    Other than that... there's... the Tales of Symphonia spin-off? That's about it.

    Wait, are we including GCN games here, or just Wii?

    Edit: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is great. I have no idea how I forgot about that. You'll want to play Path of Radiance for GCN first though if you haven't already.

    And I guess there's Paper Mario, but I've heard the Wii game isn't as much of an RPG as the other games in the series.

    I've heard Opoona is good (though very strange).

    Isn't that more of a Rune Factory type sim game with RPG elements? No idea, haven't seen it myself but that's how I've heard it described.

    Only Wii, I already have a Gamecube (and stole a few indications from the "Just bought a GC!" topic). Does anyone recommend Little King's Story? XSEED JRPGs?

    I don't think XSEED has released any JRPGs on the Wii, unless you count Rune Factory (and I thought XSEED published LKS?). There aren't many on the system at all and a lot of what is there opens up a genre debate as to what counts as a JRPG. I can't think or anything that hasn't been brought up in this thread. The Wii is almost as RPG-starved as the N64 (but not quite that bad!)

    As for LKS, I haven't played it but it's supposed to be really good.

    Edit: Oh yeah, Valhalla Knights. I remember I was interested at one point (and Baroque too) but everything I saw made it sound really terrible (and Baroque too). I didn't even know XSEED published that.

    Fragile Dreams, Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga. If you want to be scared, Ju-On: The Grudge (although it's not really an RPG, I guess).
    Looking into Little King's Story here myself.
