I enjoy FATEs like I enjoy Triple Triad. It's a neat game with a simple set of base rules that has a lot of room to add complexity with card types, same/plus, etc. There's nothing bad about it per se (NPCs in FF8 cheating with rules like Random aside), but this well-crafted piece of content with a lot of potential is only ruined by the fact that anything interacting with it requires you to do it 2239045729357238945728934752893475 times.
