I told myself a while ago that I was going to learn hangul, the Korean character set, so I could at least pronounce Korean. It hasn't happened yet though, I only know the basics of their syllable construction. It's pretty funky, but well designed, I think.
It's easy, but then again, I'm living in Korea right now, and had a Korean teaching me. Regardless, once you can read it, it's a cinch to read. Doesn't mean I understand much though...I only know the everyday language.

I disagree in some ways with you lot on this. I think that games should be about gameplay, not story. OK, a good story does compliment solid gameplay, but it can't replace it. If I was interested in watching a great thought-provoking plot unfold before me, I'd watch a film. If on the other hand, I wanted burn my fingers to bloody stumps and have a shed load of fun, I'd play a videogame. I think that games are getting better and there are some really fun games coming out at the moment that really make the retro classics show their age
I agree that there are some really fun games coming out right now. While I love a lot of old games I'm not going to let nostalgia make me miss the good stuff currently on the market.
As for storytelling, it all depends on what you're looking for. While I appreciate it when some thought goes into tossing together something that resembles a story, or at least something that gives the characters a bit of personality and motivation, it can backfire when the story doesn't work for me [Example: KoF99 has, for me, the most mind-bogglingly stupid story ever put into a game.] But for every KoF99 there are games like Way of the Samurai that, from the little amount of time I've put into it, seems to be all about deciding how to interact with the storyline. If the current plots in games aren't working for you just give it some time, something new will probably come along that you like soon.

I have noticed that on fighting games nowdays let the ploy to be "analyzed" more than being discoveried by the player...
Let's take a look to Tekken 4; once you know most of the ploy of it, there are many speculations that can be done; weither they might be voids or they might be left fot the player to deide, the doubt is there; the most clear example is "Who is the father of Steve Fox???"; it is obvious now that Nina is the mother and he probably was conceibed when she was held captive on cold sleep...
That case can also be noticed on KoF'99, Igniz surely dies, but what about Zero & Krizalid?, Ron surely does survive, same does Misty.
Also there are some inacurracies when we analyze the develop that K' and Maxima had... the biggest struggle for the clones was what to know from where thry came... the answer was "You where garbage created to make me stronger" *Igniz*
It would be nice if some doubts like those where cleared on the future...
We also have cases like DoA or VF, that practically lacks any kind of satisfactory ending, not to mention the soon to be DoA Extreme Voleyball.
What happened to AoF??? What happened to SS??? [well, Samurai games have promished a return] What happened to Kunio games???
I won't forvige if they don't take care of the upcoming Ninja Gaiden... I am sure to get the game if ANY of the good olds characters from the others NG are on it and/or the game has quality.
