I played it so many years ago and wasn't very impressed at all.

I'm currently playing through again now and i'm enjoying the experience much more. The cutscenes really are the best in the series. They create tension, spark emotion and add a level of exitement more so than any other FF imo. Ive sort of connected with the game in that, where before the characters simply annoyed me, now i kind of feel attached.

So am enjoying so far, but i remember the plot wasn't anything special and kuja was a poor villain who ties with ultimecia as the most forgettable. And as other people have mentioned, the loading times and slow pace of battles really kills this game
