I played the demo and pretty much got the same impression. It's hard for me to not think outside of battles. Otherwise I probably would have enjoyed FFX a lot more. So I don't think this game is for me, but thank you muchly for breaking it down. I'd never seen anyone go over it like that. So there was always this niggling feeling in the back of my head that maybe the main game is better, or maybe it gets better after the opening or something. This leads me to believe I wouldn't enjoy it regardless. It's sad, but it happens. I'm glad they made the game though, there was a lot of love put into it, and it has a pretty dedicated fan following. So it's crowd is out there somewhere
