FFVII with Wii controls

[kiraevo]

I know it's all pie in the sky but when SquareEnix were quoted as being very interested in the Balance Board for an RPG it got me wondering about the possibilities of Wii controls for FFVII.

The obvious use of the balance board would be on the snowboard level (and subsequent arcade game in the Golden Saucer) but I think it could also be used to manoeuvre the motorbike, leaving you free to use the wiimote as your sword. Chocobo racing would also be big fun using the balance board. The golden saucer could really be expanded into sqaure/wii wonderland!

I think the wiimote could also be progressed passed a simple 'waggle' for things like limit breaks etc.

Do you think the pointer would hinder battle progress or speed up menu selection (ie point at 'heal' then point at the character rather than arrow navigation) or could it add something fresh to the already amazing gameplay?

i'd honestly rather sit down or lay on my bed while playing final fantasy... i have a ps2 and love FF and KH games, but a balance board would be an annoying addition. but a snowboarding or skating game would be sick.
