This game is magnificent. The character detail, storyline, music and unique way of casting magic has made this game far more unique than it's predecessors. Especially as a favorite to me, the main character, Squall, has a similar persona to me. Not to mention he wears black the entire game. I wear black 98% of the time, so... yeah. But other than that, I admire his rivalry with Seifer, and their trademark weapons, The Gunblade. That weapon is by far one of the most unique swords out there to date. Plus, when you strike an enemy, you can press one of the back-buttons and he'll also shoot the Gunblade when he hits his opponent. It adds dept even into the weapon itself. I love the events that follow each other as a more grand and grave plot unfolds.
