Let us know how it goes. I own the game, but have yet to even out it in my console.

Been curious about that one for a long time myself, it definitely looks pretty cool.

Xenoblade Chronicles - Wii (Loving this game!)
Persona - PSP (Really fun)
Dragon Quest IX - DS (I'm pretty bored with this one at the moment)

That's too bad...I really, really enjoyed that game. I am a bit of a retro-JRPG enthusiast, however, and its "old school" charms really appealed to me. I ended up sinking 120+ hours into the game, and I invested about half of those hours after I completed the main quest. Eventually, I got to the point where it looked like I would have to do a lot of grinding with my party to get them to the point where they could tackle some of the more difficult quests, and although I was still enjoying the game, I decided that I needed to play somethign else for a while. I still intend to finish up all of the optional quests at some point, however...

Also, my three-year-old daughter absolutely loved the game (mainly, I think, because I modeled my party after my family with her as the protagonist); so when she is older, I may just hand off the game to her - Dragon Quest V style - so that she can complete all of the optional quests with my assistance...

I really think Dragon Quest IX is the best game in the series.

That is a bold statement! Although I have completed all of the first ten Final Fantasy games, I have only played through DQIII, DQIV, and DQIX. Of those three, DQIX edges out DQIII, but I have heard great things about DQV and DQVIII.

I'm ~10 hours in Final Fantasy IX.

Why haven't I played through this game sooner?! It's the ultimate throwback to the older FF's. I'm really liking it thus far.

V is pretty decent... I have both the Super Famicom original and DS port. I don't like it as much as IV though, it got pretty tedious during the final 10-ish hours and was a bit too grindy in parts. VIII is fantastic, probably the second best in the series. Part IX though... it's just straight up addictive.

I've been playing a lot of Unchained Blades, which has been pretty story-heavy for a dungeon crawler. There are some interesting dungeon gimmicks and the followers system gives you much needed survivability. I've only faced one boss, but it was quite the challenge. So far I've been very happy with it.
