That being said, I found X to be a pretty good game. Tidus was annoying, yeah, but he wasn't too terribly bad. X also had a memorable cast that really stood out (Waka and his accent, Auron and his coolness, Lulu and her....boobs), and the game's art style and atmosphere mixing Japanese art and sci-fi with a sort of Caribbean mix was really endearing. Though annoying, the characters were pretty fleshed out, especially in regards to Auron, and were easy to warm up to by the half-way point. I thought the game was pleasantly introspective and meditative whenever Tidus' monologue kicked in (which they could have used more often), and some of the ideas that were played with in the plot regarding Yevon was some really great stuff. They could have done more with it, I think, but it was still very interesting.
The soundtrack is also really, really good. But this is just why I Iove X, and I can see why someone wouldn't be too terribly fond of it.
