The growing trend in console RPG's...
Cards. More and more of them seem to have ditched the traditional styles for, well, card games. Baten Kaitos comes to mind as the most recent I've seen, but Phanstasy Star Online Ep3, as well as Lost Kingdoms, at least on the GameCube side, have gone this way. What are your thoughts on this?
To me, card games have always been (and probably always will be) the domain of 10 year olds and hardcore geeks. Baten Kaitos looked interesting, until I found out that all your commands are determined through what order you arrange your deck. That just threw me off. Call me old fashioned, but I don't see any gameplay benefits in card systems.
