What do you think of the game?

Unfortunately, it's not that great. Gambits and the new battle system are cool. The graphics are pretty. That's about it. The main character, Vaan, is even more annoying than Tidus and ultimately ruins the story. Him and Penelo really have no purpose in this game and are just filler characters. It's a fun and enjoyable game, but doesn't come close to matching the classics.

Incorrect. As said several times before, Vaan is not the main character, but just a mere default accustomed character to be used in towns. I good sway to your point about how Vaan and Penelo shouldn't be there, because it is a questionable thing to wonder. They don't in any way or form ruin the story, and I wouldn't judge the game on two characters, when other aspects are visibly great in the game. I find the story intriguing, and the points above as well. Too much dungeon crawling, and suitable for a gamer with a decent level of intellect, and has some understanding with olden text. The game is mainly focused on a political motive, and unique from the other titles.

Overall it is a very satisfying game, which is time consuming and mostly tiring, but rewarding in some sense. It for me, was one of the best installments in the series and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Whether Vaan is the main character or not doesn't really matter, it's the fact that he's there in the first place and the effect he has on the story. Penelo I don't really care about. She's just there and has no purpose.

I thought the political storyline was a nice change from the usual FF storylines, but it had flaws that made it less appealing.

Please, enlighten me with the flaws because I'm not aware of any, but the amount of depth inputed into it and how much we, the gamers, missed out on such a remarkable storyline.
