Yay! Thank you to those who didn't lace their response with cynicism. I think it will be some time before I get back to this title (I'd like to beat VIII and IX before I play it), but I did like what I played. I am interested to see where it'll rank compared to the other FFs...I do think that a good story will make up for gameplay faults. I also just need to get the hang of the battle system.
