I have put myself on a rather tight budget for games/books for the next 6 months in the efforts to save up for a full payment on a new car. I need to maximize my return on investments on the few games that I'll buy, due to gift certificates around my birthday/Christmas and $100 in rewards from my credit card, in that period of time.

I've put in 300+ hours in on Oblivion, and a whole heck of a lot on Fallout recently. Not to mention the many, many weeks worth of griding on previous FF games. Repetitive game play, as long as there are interesting or intriguing elements to the game, is no real problem.
