James, I finished all these games, and whereas I didn't start to feel like a masochist until up to 8, I don't think there's something to 'get' at all. Also, I suspect I enjoyed 6 more because I was I think, 14 at the time? than because it's seriously a great game. The ideas were just fresh then. Now, they're not. The gameplay's more of the same, the characters superficial and the total plot and character development rivals a particularily adventurous episode of Friends. If you're a fag that cried when Sepiroth killed Tifa then I can see how you might think the FF series are OMG THE BEST SERIES OF GAMES EVER INVOLVING OMG I GET THESE GAMES but for anyone with half a brain the ff series are some of the most bland console rpgs by square.
