When outside of battle, yes it does. In every version but 2003 (the one I use) the view is pretty much first person in battle. You can only see the enemies, and not yourself. In 2003, it's view is to the side. You are on the right, and your enemies to the left. Kind of like the older Final Fantasy titles.
