I still think this was one of the most fun games I've ever played. Sure, the story and characters weren't quite as memorable as those of other Final Fantasy games (though I loved the world and was glad to see it again in FFXII), but rarely do I have so much fun in a game. I loved every minute of it and I had like 164 hours logged in it before I finally got bored of it.

(I guess what I'm saying is, any story issues and stuff didn't bother me because I found the game itself to be so good.)
