thartanian - The gameplay, plot, pretty much everything about it I disliked. I didn't like the older FF's that I played either, but I disliked them less than this one.

JDR13 - I have, but I didn't like it as much as IV. I didn't get to play it until the GBA collection was released, so that may have affected my opinion of it somewhat though. IV was my favorite of the series.

Zakhary - J-RPGs just tend to lack a lot of the gameplay elements I like. ToS did as well, but it made up for it with a fun (IMO) combat system and amusing storyline. Most J-RPGs seem to me to be about as much RPG as Sonic the Hedgehog without any gameplay.

Artran - You can't handle 'kind'. But you'll notice that your tastes run right in line with a lot of people who has posted in this thread. Welcome, stay awhile. STAY FOREVER!

I had one of the Ishar games, but the disk was bad so I never have played it.
