Man you guys really are taking this too far.
My only beef with Hades on this was the fact that he was comparing FFT to FFTAs 1 & 2 which is disingenuous IMHO considering just how badly the TA games suck. That said, there are things that make the game a little too complicated to game like the Brave and Faith values and that Zodiac alignment thing. But still, and generally speaking, I never really had that much trouble with numbers in FFT (unless we’re talking about Axes, Flails, or Handbags in which case why are you using those anyway).
