I think the game is horribly, horribly overrated by some people. I hated it more than any other game I've ever played. I'm not saying it's the worst--that credit probably goes to Superman 64--but it's my least favorite. But then, FFIX is my favorite game in the series (I'm not going to try and argue that it's the BEST one) and a lot of people disliked it, so, oh well.
