Enough Tidus talk! That's FFX. It was fine when you were comparing Zidane and Tidus, but now you're just arguing over whether or not Tidus was a whiny bitch, which he was.

If it weren't for the painful loading times, which severely reduce the game's replay value, FFIX would probably be my favorite FF.

There are aspects of the game that aren't perfect, certainly, but nothing that leads me to complain.
