Hi Mike, Hope you don't mind me asking, but I used to play the final fantasy games on my playstation and they are some of my favourite main stream games, but the ones I have played have always been very text heavy with battle menus and most character speech has been text to. you said you played final fantasy x though , do you still play now and have you found it to be in anyway accessible?

Yes sports games are possible. But answer me this: How do you play racing games? How do you know where to turn or if you're going the wrong way? Rockband I understand, it's a great game and I like playing it. I guess my point is that we can't play more of the current things if that makes sense. Like COD or Resident Evil. That's why I like playing games like Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts and Mass Effect (to a degree). I guess you could play third person shooters if you do what I do and use a lock-on system or use sound cues which is how I play them, ut FPS's are, I think, out completely. I'm not trying to make it sound like totals can't, I'm really just curious. Mike.
