I really dislike how the characters all act like they're made of cardboard in Final Fantasy X. Yuna and Tidus like eachother for no adequately explored reason other than Tidus being the leading male character/fighter and Yuna being the backing female character/white mage. Like this could definitely pass off as a Final Fantasy 2: Gaiden fanfiction and it would fit just fine.
I suggest FFXII, I played a bunch of that in the last month or so. Didn't think I'd like it but it is about 50 thousand zillion % better than any other FF game.
This, and while you are at it, play Vagrant Story as well. You will enjoy it.
