Yea yea what Destination0 said....i thought ff9's card game was awsome cause the variety in pepole you could vs was very sweet...ff8 was more complicated for my blood (to...slow...to comprehend...things ) but as destination stated earlier...its all about personal prefrence...its like a board game...there are those who like checkers..and those who like chess....i mean sure chess is more involving and complex but that doesnt make checkers any more less stragetic...they both have diffrent play style...thats all... but they also have the same goal in the end...MAKE BLACK WIN!!!
