RPG suggestion for Wii?

[Mici]

I need a new RPG for my Wii, I have Okami after seeing good thing about it here, love it, and I am a big fan of Final Fantasy up to 9 suggestion.
Thanks for any suggestions.

RPGs for Wii? Hmmm...I guess Paper Mario counts, right?

Buy a PS2 lol.

Seriously though, I think there's a Tales game coming out/already out on the Wii... and Fire Emblem. And that weird DQ 1st person RPG, but I don't recommend it.

This thread just made me realize how LOL of a consle the Wii is. I've never really bothered to look up games for it, since I personally don't own one (my parents and grandparents do though), but GOOD LORD the games library is terrible.

Super Mario RPG off Virtual Console.

Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2 for the Gamecube were really fun. Baiten Kaitos is supposed to be good, though I never played it. Paper Mario Thousand Year Door was great, but the Wii sequel was kinda crappy imo. Tales of Symphonia (GC again) and it's sequel for the Wii are supposed to be great. Latter got very mixed reviews, alot of people hated it and others loved it.

In short: buy a GC controller if you don't have one.

As far as the Wii Tales game... I'm one of the ones that hates it.

Well shittles, I think Fire Emblem might be it then, I liked a few of the older ones. Now don't get me wrong about the lolWii, I love it for playing with friends, I love drunken Mario Cart

I'm enjoying the Wii Tales sequel so far. It has issues, but I'm reserving final judgment for when I finish it and see how the story is pulled together.

Beyond that, there's really no new RPGs for the Wii, sadly. Maybe if they ever release the Golden Sun 3 that has been rumored for awhile now...

Of the two Fire Emblems, the one on the GameCube is superior. As aforementioned, "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door" is magnificent, and personally, I absolutely adored "Super Paper Mario." Naturally, "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" is a sound recommendation if you enjoyed "Okami" -- I personally didn't mind its control scheme at all, but if frequent Wii Remote use bothers you, get the GameCube version.

Since you mentioned what is truthfully an action RPG ("Okami"), you may be interested in "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption," which is essentially that despite its FPS elements. A very different but apparently entertaining dungeon-crawler is "Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon," and if you like that sort of old-fashioned, simplistic RPG, you may want to give it a look.

Aside from that, actual RPG offerings on the Wii are rather slim, but if you count the Virtual Console, there are significantly more available. There's the original "Paper Mario" (which was also mentioned previously), "Beyond Oasis," "Shining Force" and LandStalker. LandStalker is one of those series that has a cult following, and it definitely is a great game, but you'll have to willingly live with its shortcomings if you play it. Control issues aside, it has actually aged far better than many non-"big name" RPGs of its time, so I do recommend it.
