I like RPG's as much as the next guy, but they put me and most of us under the table. And yeah I figured MH would be National Holiday status by now.
And I think America loves shooters because they love simple, open competition, and then after that, they like anything with a ton of hype.
And I'm very tentative to say anything of FFX because I love the game, and it's the first FF I actually beat (mostly because I'm missing a FFVIII disc, and my FFVII is in meh shape). If I actually planned to get a Vita, I would jump all over the rerelease it will get. But yeah...no, not the best game ever, not the best FF ever...it's honestly way too easy for that. There were only a couple of spots I ever struggled with in FFX, and all but one were because of underleveling.
