I attempted the game multiple times and never finished because I thought it wasn't worth it, and considered it one of the worst FF's.

After beating it last year it's definatley one of my favorites, and one of the best FF's, arguably the best. i know that's hard to swallow for some fans but that's where i'm at right now. I also consider it the last original original FF in that IX was more of a tribute than a standalone game and the PS2 games have lost some key aspects. X's still one of my favorite though.
