oh, I'm aware of FFIV taking alot of skill
but also alot of grinding
seriously..alot more grinding
but FFIV would have been a bad example of what I was trying to state: less custscenes (parts where people cannot play)
more choice (FFI classes, skills, FFII skill system, FFIII class system)
wich FFIV lacks..wich I see as going the wrong direction
sure, FFIV was fun
and I love the DS version to death
but it's not my favourite
mind you, I'm not bashing jRPGs....>_
