The only thing that gets complicate is that the each equipment piece will have a different rank, which simply affects how much exp you get from the item. In the end the difference is pretty negligible.

As for FFXIII I think it is certainly one of the best and most enjoyable RPGs I've played this year. But I haven't really met a FF I haven't liked yet. None of them have been disappointing for me. I will admit that FFXIII probably has the most polarizing effect on people of any of the FF games, which I thought FFVIII or FFXII were until FFXIII. But that is only because of design choices that people are complaining about. I'm fine with the design choices because most of them having in every other RPG, FFXIII just did worry about tricking you when doing it.
Well, I can't give you my final opinion on 13 yet, hon.. I'm still on Chapter 10.. I did manage to beat Sid Raines after only one defeat.. Surprised the heck out of me! I was expecting a major trial as with Barthandelus.. He wiped my team 6 times before I finally beat him.. (Pant, pant)..

I suppose many players will like and enjoy the complicated upgrading system, I just don't understand the need for it at all.. I'd prefer a straight purchase or Rikku's upgrade system in FF10.. But, that's just me.. I'm not really complaining about the game per se, just that I think it's been made a bit more difficult then it had to be for the average player such as myself..
