This game had a good story (coperate control, capitalist greed, other convaluted issues). Cid and Barret are what defined the game's boldness - one guy who pretty much heckles the hell out of his female assistant for her accident and the other a racial stereotype. Damn. MMM Spehy's kickass attitude, especially his one hit kills in Cloud's distorted memories.

What I didn't like are all the crappy spinoffs (but that's for a different thread).
