Definitely give it a chance, but i share the point of Melia being an annoying character. I don't like how the game pushes her into the story, and exalting the fact that she's better than all of you. Yes, she has emotional issues, but the story revolves so much around her, like the bridge scene in Terajuma. This can be annoying, since it's basically self pity, not some kind of character development of her overcoming her troubles, just plain self pity. She becomes less annoying while progressing trough the story, specially in the Grand Dream City arc, since the focus is in Bladestar and Aelita (which i liked A LOT)
