Nope. And why would I? I'm completely turned off by their setting. It's like . . . your typical guy sees a trailer for a romantic comedy, and he thinks "ugh, yuck!" . . . Now even if everyone insists that the RomCom had a great plot and interesting characters and such, he's probably never going to go out of his way to see it because he's turned off by romantic comedies. I am turned off by non-medieval high fantasy RPGs. And that wasn't a problem until FFVII.

The one game that S-E HAS made recently that seems to epitomize what I like was developed for the DS and was not released in NA (Final Fantasy Gaiden: 4 Warriors of Light). So even when they DO develop what I like, they half-arse it (put it on a DS) and don't release it outside Japan. Argh!
