Additionally, I think that with the game's bad pacing issues, you may be more likely to fully appreciate the story on a second playthrough.
Yes. The second time you somehow get to appreciate it way better.

Also, the world and exploration.

And Balthier and Fran.

And Ashe.

And Basch.

Heck, even Vaan and Penelo. I love the cast.
