You have to look at it objectively. There are unique portions of the game that make it memorable, but most of it is in reference to the battle system. I had an insane amount of fun battling through and mastering each dress sphere. The story seemed a little shallow compared to FFX, but I don't mind it so much. It attempted to expand upon what was a great game, and in the end, they settled for a good game. That's all I care about it. Plus, the character designs for the main characters was awesome... but keep Nooj and the other boy squad captains away from me. Nooj was just gross.
