Kingdom Hearts was whack. They spent too much time on the FMV sequences, but the gameplay itself was seriously lacking.
never heard of Suidoken
Xenosaga...I have that one. Haven't gotten around to playing it much yet, but from what I've seen and heard, it's gonna pull a Metal Gear Solid 2 on me...full of cutscenes, barely any gameplay.
I've never played a Breath of Fire game...but I'll rent this one and check it out.

Whatever happened to the kick ass RPGs like Chrono Trigger...nowadays they try to make all the weapon and character building systems way too complicated to enjoy the actual game.
Last good RPG I played was Golden Sun on the GBA.
