I didn't, but it still ranks pretty highly using my personal criteria.
I can't think of any RPG where I enjoyed combat on the merits of the system. I just prefer that combat is quick and easy so it doesn't distract much from the rest of the game. If the animations are fun to watch, so much the better.
For the record, I do like tactical combat games such as Jagged Alliance 2 or X-com. It's just that RPG systems tend to be simplified in comparison, and are not why I'm playing the game at any rate.
