that said, the game did fall apart for me towards the end. the whole thing with terra and gaia was boring to me, and the entire ending sequence was boring and a let down. It was a fun game, I just wished they had'nt caved to the old 'chase the bad guy' theme, and focused the plot more strictly around inter-kingdom fighting... kinda like I wished 8 had stuck more closely to seed/nation/etc conflict.
sure, 7 was chase the bad guy, but it felt more reasonable to me. not to mention, sephiroth seemed more like a bad guy - kuja seemed like a ballerina. 10 and 10-2 were tech advancements, so i'll leave those out.
