Opinions are all well and good and everything, but 30 minutes of an RPG doesn't give you much to go on. I can't really put much stock into it. Play for another 9 1/2 and your opinion will have some weight.

RPG intros are often boring. If I'd only played FF VI for 30 minutes, I never would have gotten to experience the Esper system. If I'd only played Tales of Symphonia for 30 minutes, I wouldn't have gotten to mess with any Exgem combos. If I'd only played Baten Kaitos for 30 minutes, I only would have been able to use like 3 cards at a time or something. 30 minutes is nothing for an RPG.
