I heard Baten Kaitos has a card fighting system, I should tell you that I hate/don't like card based fighting.
Hm, trivial things...
I don't mind small trivial things that add to the fun, like the little card game in Tales of Eternia.
But as for collecting and completing things, well...
To collect all the figurines in Tales of Symphonia is too arduous.
And to the above that I asked:
I play the game on the stories and, as Mendou said, I also get connected to the characters.
Then again, that's what the developers want us to.
A question to everyone who's played Grandia 1 (POSSIBLE SPOILERS, DO NOT READ ON) :
.
On the second disc, after you get Feena off the ship and get the special Techniques, i.e "End of World" or so, have you gotten the one you get when you've mastered Wind and Water to level 99?
I haven't, but I might do it, regardless how good it is or isn't.

Spoilers end here.
