I meant the plot takes you on a linear path. It has its own twists and turns, yes. I just wasn't able to get into them because I was stuck on some path I couldn't break away from.

Tidus was more of a character than a hero. For me a good RPG hero lets you become him. Tidus did too many things on his own to allow me to do that.

I know what I like, it's just that age influences that. If I ate a really good sandwich I would like it a lot, but if I ate it over and over again for 10 years it wouldn't be as good as the first time, even if I added something extra to it every time. It's still the same sandwich, and still good, it's just hard to get excited over it anymore.
