Alright, it seems like most people have only played FFXII by this guy, which I have no opinion on, having played 20 minutes of it, BUT he's really one of the all-time great and fucking hardcore RPG developers out there. I suspect that if XII was simple and easy, there was top-down control from S-E involved. Take a look at Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story, and tell me that there's a more hardcore set of RPG-type games this side of Shin Megami Tensei. All of them are remarkably deep, fleshed out, and combine some of the best elements of jRPGs and western RPGs.
