You sure missed out. Zidane's tail has nothing to do with gameplay and only a small role in the story. Also, you're missing out on the fun of finding the hidden references to the previous games.

If you're actually shallow enough not to play a game because the main character has a tail, then you deserve to miss out on one of the top 3 FF games ever made =/
Out of the three that originaly came out on the PS1 (7,8 & 9) it isnt the best but i still found it very enjoyable. With well thought out characters, a decent soundtrack and a story that will keep you gessing there isnt much more you could want from a FF. Its no FF VII but still worth parting with your hard earned cash.
It's equal to or better than FF7 (mostly due to more polish and less bad points). It has a good story, consistant difficulty, plenty of secrets, developed characters, a huge freeroaming world and plenty of longevity.
What more could you want?
It is probably my favorite FF, in retrospect. It also has a great amount of replayability; I always find something new about it each time I played it. Please don't let the more cartoonish art style prevent you from playing this wonderful game.
so it roks
So its a good game i was just put of buy the graphics i know it sounds shallow but all the ones i have been on had great graphics and gameplay. il have to buy it sometime

You didn't buy a game just because the main character had a tail? What a lame excuse. It's a great game, probably one of my favourite RPG's.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
It actually does have a very nice story line once you get into it..
Although it's not one of my personal favourite FF games, it's still enjoyable enough to engage you and you'll play it from start to finish. I did quite enjoy the chocobo side quest, mind you :P So yeah I'd say you're missing out.
It's a fantastic game. You should buy it. Forget that the main character has a tail - it really doesn't matter.
I wouldnt say the game is "great" or one of the best games of all time. But its still playbale in my opinion.
The graphics of the game actaully did put alot of people off the game at first, where as some PC players in the UK would admit to playing Final fantasy 7 and 8. I knew quite afew gamers who saw 8 at face value as "a childish anime game" as one person described it to me. So the original question does not sound childish or shallow , the art style of the game will do that certain types of people.
I do find it disturbing how Zidane looked like Meg Ryans though :-P
Personally I just dont hold the game in high respcts due to the ability system, some of the cast and the trance system. But the story is solid and the system does act in a stable manner. But hey try it :-P It might be your type of gaming system
