And 2009 was already 10 years ago. What games were you playing at the time?

Well, I cannot compare it to other games of the series, since it's the only one I played to this day. But I can see why fans criticise the cast. Auron and Lulu are the only characters I truly like in the game. Don't care much for the rest. But other than that, the game plays well enough and is very visually appealing. Also, I really liked the skill map it had. Pretty creative. And tbh, I didn't find it very grinding. Maybe for the post game or close to the end of ti you need to grind more, but I don't recall grinding much in it.

Blitzball was fun but pretty hard, though.
