Not only do I regard this game as the best Final Fantasy (Yes I've played them all) I regard this as one of the best games ever made in general. First let's start with what everyone complains about, the story. I think it is a FF representation of Earth and what will happen here. Not literally but metaphorically. The game has made me literally bawl like a baby and that is hard to get me to do. For its time the voicing and graphics were amazing. People complain about Tidus voice as well,, which yes I will admit it hasn't aged well. But the things that set this apart from other games was the sphere grid system which I found to be absolutely amazing and even some games today can't compare to that system which speaks volumes for a game over a decade old.
