Ok, I also like that whole religion and psuedo racism thing.

While the cut scenes got to be a nuisance at times, the actual movies were awesome.

I think the battle system is the best yet. i've only played 6, 8, 9, and 10 (haven't finished any yet - I always go onto a different one halfway through:P). One thing I hated about 8 and 9 was that the enemies had a really irritating habit of surprising you by taking 3 or 4 turns in a row....very irritating. At least now you know when, and why, an enemy takes more than 1 turn. Also you don't have to rush through the menus when searching for a particular magic, you can take your time, which I do enjoy. Battles can get boring, but that's the same in all ff games.

I enjoy the characters...Wakka in particular is rather unique, and a total champ. I also enjoy the way you can customise the characters in the sphere system.

Blitzball, while a good idea, does get boring. I do like the concept though. Voices are a little irritating, but hey, it's their first voice-over game in the series. I do think they suit the characters, though. I also like the idea of controllable aeons.
