Yes, Andrew, we already know that you're not into the game. Different strokes, different folks. FFTA is a perfectly acceptable RPG for the GBA, IMO <--- Notice the IMO...
Okay, that's better.
It's the thought that counts, and I happen to sincerely think FFTA sucks, and is an insulting piece of tripe with a battle system that is woefully in need of updating and smoothing out. Although if you judge it by just the battle system and not the story, it's not so bad.
I second Circle of the Moon being somewhat blah. It's the only Castlevania game I'd sold after I purchased it. Oh, and Yuna, the other GBA CVs star bishonen! You love those!
