Try playing the fucking game instead of "what you hear".
The controlls. I have a playstation 2 controller that i play with my PS2 to USB converter, and it makes the game play like ANY final fantasy, including fully changeable controlls. I will admit that the key board is a gay way to play, because you need to controll the camera at the same time, but with ps2's 2 analog joysticks, the problem dissapears.
Xp loss- yes, ive punched my desk 100 times over, when i die, i loose xp. I hate it, but if the game wasnt hard, then there would be no reason to play it, nothing to learn from. I make better choices, party with the right people, cast a diffrent spell or whatever, after learning from my mistakes. You have to be punished when you die, although, if you can find a nice japanese player to Raise you, you can loose less XP, and even less with Raise II.
Price-its 12.99, not 15, dont scare people away by lieing about the price of the game.
