Fantastic plot. Easily one of the series' most original and thought-provoking ideas.
Yuna is amazing. I know people dislike her left and right but she's seriously one of my favorite video game characters ever. Yes, Heidi Burgess screws up with some of those lines because of the lip-syncing problems and all, but the character herself is terrific. *rambles*
Anyway, Auron is great, Wakka is great (I say this because I really dig his arc: the blind follower turned tough-pill-to-swallow Joe turned "there is good in this faith but you have corrupted it beyond recognition" guy), Lulu is okay, Rikku is great, Kimahri is great and lastly, Tidus is decent but pre-Luca he's pretty bad.
That's the thing with Tidus. I find that the vast majority of his worst scenes subside around then. (Laughing scene in being an exception.)
Music is great although I actually don't like "Otherworld" much. Not my style. But I respect how it clicks with its appropriate scenes. Battle system is rock solid, presentation is top-notch for its time.
FFX-2 never happened.
