I also agree with Kai Su that I don't feel "connected" to my main character in such games. Part of that is that the characters in the game world generally don't respond to the player character unless they're attacking you. It's sometimes like you're a floating camera."
P.S. My favorite 3-D fighter is Virtua Fighter 5 as well, although I got it on 360. It's why I bought a 360. I like your tastes. :)"
I try my best to support publishers by buying games I like new. Sometimes it isn't feasible, however. They're simply not going to get $60 for every new game they shove across at me.
What's next? Are publishers going to start going after people who don't pre-order, thereby guaranteeing them some money before they even release their products, by making everyone who opts to buy a game off the shelf, even a new game, pay $10 for online play? I've already seen the beginnings of that idea..."

Now, Ys Seven is a great game, to be sure. But it lacks the depth of the best Zelda games by far. Its dungeons do not have the brilliant puzzles we've seen in the Zelda games. It's more geared towards action, and at that I consider it more of a hack-and-slash game. Even at that, Zelda has had some genuinely white-knuckle battles, and you can't win most of the time by just madly chopping away at an enemy."
