Well, I suppose so. It's just not a stat building game in any sense. Just a game for fun with a storyline attached. I will add this. The puzzles are MUCH better than they were in Four Sword (GBA). The GBA game basically had a random level generator that put together a bunch of prebuild puzzles, but they were all rather simplistic and not a single one was meant to stump. They were all there just to encourage cooperation. They did the job well, but I hungered... for more...
Anyway, FSA has puzzles that will, for the first time in a while, actually leave you scratching your head! It'll really bring back memories of the LTTP days, back when puzzles were MEANT to actually STUMP you. Everyone will be talking with each other and going around experimenting, and it'll REALLY foster a need for good communication and cooperation. I mean, it's just classic fun! It reminds me of the old days when one's family or friends would start tossing out ideas on how to solve some puzzle (when the player FINALLY gave in let everyone help them that is). To have that sort of thing back, it's just beyond words... This game is simply too fun. It's still an INCOMPLETE package of course, but what IS there is just plain... awesome...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
