i was among the 'i have too many games' croud but im a big RPG fan and FF are the ones that got me into the series, had to leave work early last night due to having an accident but im just a bit achey now so decided id pick it up as im on rest days after tonights shift, only problem i have now is i never seem to be able to get into a game properly with my 2 yr old running riot or trying to join in so i may have to wait till her bedtime before some real gaming.
personally all the critisisms ive read are what i like about the FF series, each game has its own unique flavour to it... well since 7 anyway (1-6 all seemed to have very similar levelling and magic systems)
