Oh, that. That's just my version of PC because it's expected in our day and age. I'll say the bad thing and mean it. Your view does matter, though-just not to me.

The problem that I really have with your complaint is that it's one of those RPG 'purist' complaints-and I should know about those, I GM pen and paper for several different games. It also reeks of rules lawyering and mini maxing-though mini maxing doesn't piss me off so much because I expect my players to do the very best they can given their limitations. The idea that the 'game' is at fault is utterly rediculous because the game is designed around the system so it can be balanced in and of itself. Now, I admit-FF has a storied history about completely breaking the game-we need look no further than FFVIII and what an hour of looking for spells can do.

I just really can't agree with you that the License Board breaks the game. I strongly suspect that this is purely because I'm looking at it from my PoV, and there's something you did that I didn't that made things go boink. The encounters are interesting, and it's the first FF since FFVI that killed me in an out and out fair fight, as opposed to cheap shots and unbelievable mishaps. To ME, a game that beats me through matched even combat is pretty damn balanced.

I dunno. Maybe I'm just not as good at Final Fantasy as you. And y'know, from what you're saying, maybe I don't wannabe.
