i can see where Mister Adequate is coming from... when i first got the game on the day it released i really wanted to like it... but immediately Steiner, Freya, and especially Quinna rubbed me the wrong way, i could not stand those characters in the least... i was upset that Beatrix, the most interesting character in the game, would never be a permanent party member, and a lot of the game mechanics really turned me off to it... i think what irritates me the most was i really wanted to like it and i just can't, and like some others here, every time i try to play it i play less of it with each revisit...
