Well, if there should be a spinoff, FFIV deserves credit, especially with Kain.

As for me, i spent the last quarter of the game just going through the dungeons after getting badly beaten by zeromus the first time, but when i went back at 60+, he was pretty simple. I had a huge mothersmurfinig grin on my face throughout the final cutsence ^^

Im really glad that i got the music now too, Prelude ftw.

As a villian goes, zeromus wasnt that great, but it was more about golbez and cecil, and thier interaction and relation was excellently done, IMO.

Another thing that got me into it was just the memorable charachters like Cid and Edge, and i almost fell out of my chair laughing when i found out there was a thing between edge and rydia, or so edge wanted to think :P
