I've just got to the airship (furthest I've been!) in my play through. Really enjoying the main story this time round. I've really warmed to Tidus and Wakka isn't as annoying as I recalled him being. The scenes in Home were actually quite moving.

I've tried to avoid playing too much Blitzball as that was one of the main reasons I never finished my previous play throughs. Although, I just recruited Brother on the airship and Nimrook's keeper stats are awesome and he only has one game left on his contract with Al Bhed Psyches.

Man! Keep your focus on the story, Bubba!
