Well, Oprah, I have a variety of feels when I play this game.

It's kind of sad whenever someone gets sick, dies or gets turned to stone.

It's frustrating when someone is gone from the party & they're wearing a valuable piece of equipment.

There is great joy in Cecil turning into a Paladin, only because he looks like a white version of the Warrior from FFI. (SPOILER)Plus there's a spaceship shaped like a whale.

Really, though, this was probably the first FF to have a really great story. I know II had some story, but let's pretend that doesn't exist for the time being. There's a lot of great characters in this game, each w/ an interesting story. Plus they're all relevant, so it's easy to get attached to them.

Some might complain that (SPOILER)almost all the characters come back from the "dead" @ some point (except Tellah) But I necessarily don't find that a bad thing.
