VII was a snoozefest and too hard. I don't mind a challenge, but this wasn't a fun challenge, it was a 'why am I playing this crap?' challenge.

I like the rest though. I (1) was cool because of the history there, II was ok, III was the best and very worthwhile, IV was good too but like Chainsaw I was a little turned off by the AI party controlling. I've started a game on V and the monster thing is pretty neat, though I prefer characters.

The main gripe I have is there is too much leveling up time involved and the battles aren't innovative enough that it doesn't get boring (unlike the FF games). I can't wait to see what Square's influence can do with the series.
