FFT is the best RPG ever made.
snobby nerd voice: Ahem FFT is a tactical role-playing game, not a "TRUE" RPG.

Granted, this is all pretty fresh in my mind as i've only gotten into this sites stuff in the past few weeks, but Yea ross can be descriptive in the battles, but its not 100% of the time. And i'd say listening to the combat or as i refer to it the rules heavy portions of the game is incredibly boring for me, but that is to be expected.
One thing i will say is listening to the new world adventures and these podcasts in general got me back into trying to game. My first taste with 4e was a Living forgotten realms adventure at a local comic book stop and i truly hated it. The guy dming had no enthusiasm about him at all and it was as if he had just printed out the adventure that morning. I had made a lv 8 bard/monk hybrid that was more skill heavy than combat oriented, and when it opened up with some skill challenges all the regulars groaned and they just blew right through them. At the end the other players flat out told me the the LFRA or whatever its called is not meant for roleplaying..so that was a waste of 5 hours.
But this past saturday i played in a game that was a variation of keep on shadowfell, and the DM was excited and incredibly descriptive, he rped back and forth with all of the players, and kept bringing up little things here and there that kept raising questions for our characters in game, needless to say it was a blast!
Now both times i had written up some pretty crazy long backstories for the characters, as i try to do, but this past weekend, the fun DM actually took the time to read it over and is keeping in contact with us about possible hooks to be derived form such.
I will always hate the ridiculously high amount of math involved in D&D (im of the belief that the base ac should be 5, and that basically anything from 18 and up should be a hit or success or whatever, C'est la vie) but im quite happy to say that i will be continuing to play 4e thanks to the enthusiastic group i met. Lucky to cause its incredibly hard to find groups around me!

So i oringally started listening in on this podcast on lets make a deal with a vampire, but have jusr recently listened to all the prior games at work, and man it was pretty crazy seeing how the characters have grown and changed thus far, and the ever revolving door of guest players that play brighteyes is always amusing.
So far my favorite moment that i've heard of all the episodes was when Locke and...i think it was the warlock BS'ed the minotaur into thinking they followed the same god, then made him skulk off to whip himself. Talk about being on the same page with some of their simultaneous responses. I do hope the umberhulk returns, though i cant really see a point where it would come up again.

Sadly the first thing that went through my head when they didn't outright stop the new nation/religion from forming was "this new thing is going to cause so many wars of religion they should end it before it stops, the world doesn't need more gods to worship."

So i just finished farewell to arms, as im pretty new to the series, but so far i can say that my favorite part was the dinner party, and wrap of of farewell to arms had me going crazy wondering what the PC's were thinking to do what they did.

just found this podcast the other week and it has become my favorite thing to listen to at work, partly due to Cody and Mike
