Graphamatical!

[Flying Arrow]

Probably the black sheep answer here, but the graphics (and music) are the only thing that made me replay the game a few years ago and make me consider busting it out every now and then even today. I find most of the game to be pretty unfulfilling in general, which is due to a combination of level-design, difficulty, and cut-scene frequency. Every time I'm astounded by the audio/visual portion of the game, the rest of the, er, game comes along and reminds me why I was so put off by the whole thing even as a teenager (a teenager who, by the way, used to look forward to the release of each new numbered FF more than the second coming of Christ). Also, I find the game's cinematic pretensions really end up hurting it in the end. Can't help but feel that the static yet explorable pre-rendered artwork of the PS1 entries to be far more engaging than FFX's constant movie-like cutscenes and voiced dialogue.

I don't think it's a bad game, really, just one that unfortunately fell flat in a lot of important ways.
