You're right.  The Wii is the first console I've owned since the Atari 5600.  After the Atari, it was all PC gaming so of course I'm not too familiar with jRPGs, but the ones I have played I have not been a big fan of (FFVII, Fire Emblem).  That's not to say I have not enjoyed story based RPGs in the past (Revenant was great).

In any case, I was just pointing out my concerns with the game.  It looks great, but at the same time, I prefer to create my own character from scratch and watch (more like make) him or her grow in power.  I really enjoy the freedom to choose my own upgrade path (spells, weapons, character stats, armor, etc.).  I'm not saying this game is going to suck because it doesn't have character customizations, just that I am a little concerned that a great looking title might not be geared toward me.

Give the game a try. who knows, you might like it a lot ^_^

I certainly plan to.  I have more hope for this title than I do for Last Story (which looks great, but many jRPGs look great until you get to the gameplay where they can't cheat with cut scenes).  But like I said, there is a bit of a concern.
