i was just wondering what draws ppl to this game?

i bought the game ages back and enjoyed it up to a point. but by the alice in wonderland section i just got sick of the repetitive combat etc. i have seen my friend battle in the collisuem and my only real regret is i want to fight the silver challenge in there (that giant crystal like monster) and the gold (sephiroth).

basically i,m wondering if i should give this game another try. it just did not grab me last time. (lol i did love battering wakka, selphie and tidus though )
