One thing, Renmiri- please tell me when strategy's needed. I think the battle system (at least in-battle) was very good in the way the ATB worked, but it never needed strategy that I can remember.
I don't think a prequel makes sense as I said and I didn't want more romance scenes, I wanted less. Tidus imo shouldn't have come back, but if he was going to I liked what they did- they didn't focus on a romantic story that had been done much better in X. They showed one scene and let it go. I just wish the rest of the story had been strong, if he was going to come back I'm glad it wasn't for a long scene (I'm not counting the perfect ending as I would never spend the time to see it).
