I enjoyed it okay, I suppose, but the leading two characters grated on me to extreme levels. I didn't mind the other characters, but Yuna and Tidus are probably the characters I've liked least of all the FF series' playable characters. I remember trying to do certain things and sucking at them despite everyone else seemingly having no problem (chocobo balloon thing hi) and remember me having absolutely no problem with other things that people seemingly struggled with (lightning thing). I didn't mind Blitzball that much, for a minigame it was one of the more involving ones out there.

In short, my first play gave me thoughts that have stuck with me since. I still enjoy the gameplay and I still dislike the lead characters. I think I played it after most other people played it - I bought the Platinum Edition of the Internationl version.
