Yeah possibly. Sometimes I really feel it is. It is kinda easy though...

I have to say the graphics are really really good, and square really accomplished something - you could have a fun time playing the game w/o battles or storyline, like walking around on the rooftops to get to the play, the swordfight between zidane & blank, alot of the stuff in the beginning.

I think the card game was ALOT better than triple triad, which I barely play when I play VIII, but i'm always on tetra master.

the characters were good, but there wasn't much progression for amarant except you learn he was bested by Zidane once.
