Now, you see, I always saw Zell as a negative aspect of this game.

No, it's a great game and everything, but it doesn't really stick out when you think "Final Fantasy" anymore. This game didn't have a great villain, or, honestly, a very good story. A lot of people dislike the Junction system, usually because they don't understand it. I didn't like Junctioning too much because it seems stupid that placing your most powerful spells to boost your stats means that by using these powerful spells your stats'll go down.

I wasn't joking when I said I didn't like Zell - most of the characters in this game were boring, without enough development to make me care about them (Squall especially - I wouldn't have cared if he died any more than I would have cared if a brick wall that served no purpose was knocked down). The whole orphanage thing was also very contrived and there was no reason for the writers to even have come up with that.

The music is decent, but once again, nothing really stands out like the Aria Di Mezzo Caraterre or One-Winged Angel did. The characters were all too serious and there wasn't enough light-hearted humor to go around (Funniest part in the whole game was the chicken-wuss dialogue near the beginning. That wasn't even really funny, either).

I guess the game didn't really have that "classic" feel to it the other games do. Ah well. There's still the other FF games to keep us interested.
