Probably Wii's best to date; decent story, great combat, interesting monster-rearing mechanic. Differences from original may be a turnoff to ToS fans, though. 40-50 hours.
OpoonaOpoona

Underrated JRPG with engaging battle mechanics and a clever job system. Simple graphics, beautiful music score. Hampered by poor translation, but still a solid title. 30-35 hours.
