I really didn't care for the story at all, but I did like the Materia system okay. On the one hand yeah it's kinda lame that the only real difference between characters is their limit breaks and the Materia slots on their weapons, but on the other hand it's kinda cool that anyone can do anything because then you can just pick whatever characters you actually like. You don't have to take someone you hate just because they're useful. One problem I had though, and maybe I was just doing something wrong, but I thought it took way too long to get Materia leveled up and whatnot. Like I could come up with a bunch of cool Materia setups but actually getting all the Materia I needed to do it just took a bazillion years.
