This end is just totally an anticlimax - I would be very disappointed, thank god Grimjack has another opinion.
What surprises me is love of specific types of RPG around the world. Americans seem to focus on building their party/troups with a high regard to stats. The statistics even seem to outweigh the story that is often obscured due to the raw interface and numbers on the screen.
Asian RPGs focus on the story, often nice cutscenes or demo-like intros are used. And of course stats do matter but in the execution of the game it serves more of a purpose in the battles. It drives that interaction and gaining experience. Asian RPGs seem less static and more adaptive to the player.
Both originate from slightly different eras where game play was influenced by technical limitations to a greater and lesser extent. Anyways, Europeans never caught on to the stat-intensive US-style RPGs which do leave a lot to the imagination of the player with the sparse graphics. In Europe RPGs Asian style are more accepted and played. Correct me if I am wrong ;-P
