I'm about to start playing it myself...looking forward immensely to the Job System. I got addicted to Tactics Advance and played it so much that I got a sore neck and dreamed about the game... So I'll probably be addicted to this one. I kind of enjoy a challenge, too. X was way too easy. I've been somewhat spoiled by Star Ocean: The Second Story, which had the absolute most bitchin hard final bosses of any game I've ever played. It even gave you an option to take the 'Limiter' off the main boss by going to a secret dungeon, making him twice as hard...*shudders* So this should be a pleasant Old School romp.
