I love Final Fantasy... but for some reason I just couldn't finish X. Oh believe me I have tried, tried restarting it several times tried playing it many times but Grrr argh! I just couldn't get into it....


Maybe it has to do with the voices? kinda took all the imagination outta it for me you know? And the Sphere grid was just too much, they should have stuck to something a little bit more endurable. and I hated the fact that there was really no world map to speak of....

~shrug~ I really tried but I prefer the games prior to that ... 7, 8 and 9... I like them better ~nods~

The sphere grid's the Sphere Grid... right royal pain in the arse if you ask me!! Whereabouts have you got upto? It does take a while to get into the story, I found, but it's well worth sticking with it. As for the voice acting, some of the actor's voices did wind me up...Tidus' for example, also Wakka's. But it'd be difficult to imagine the game without the voice acting, especially scene such as Macalania Spring, or the ending.

WHAT?!?!? X-2 was awesome, anyhow FFX was great though, the sphere grid kind of pisses me off because the ability spheres at one point in the game but overall I really liked the system, also how far did you get in the game? It starts to get really good when you get to Luca IMO. Anyhow the lack of world mpa irritated me at first, but then I didn't mind, In fact I'd say FFX is one of the better ones of the series, also I don't see hwy everyone complains about the voice acting, I thought the voices were perfect for each character.

I actually wasted 100+ hours of my life completing the sphere grid with my three best characters, then turning the empty nodes into stat enhancing ones.... Therefore, maxing out their stats. That, my friend, is what I call dedication to stupidity resulting from boredom and having no life. ;)

The Sphere wasn't such a pain for me... I actually liked it. For me it was the second easiest system next to 7's.

Why not put the TV on mute? You would have to miss the music, but the voices would be gone lol!

Siren's Song is right, FFX takes a long while untill you truely get into the story, and Tidus' voice irritates me until the point of rage! I thought Lulu's depresive manner was pretty cool though. But it is 'well worth sticking with it'

idk about that. i thought tidus had a good voice for the game.

I liked the voice acting, it gave depth to the characters. It was also a pretty big step for FF, along with the graphics. The battle system was probably the best of the series (along with X-2), especially the way the Aeons were used.

And the story. Wow. Probably the best of the series.

This is all my opinion, of course.

I actually really liked the game. Sure some of the voices annoyed me (i now hate it when people talk like wakka!), but i thought it was overall a very good game.

And i actually liked the sphere grid!!!

It was the ending i did not like.

I didn't mind the voice acting. The only thing I didn't like about FFX was the rather strict linearity. I thought blitzball was great, the scenes were still emotional, the music was top-notch as always and it was a good story. I say give it another shot.

I loved the whole game except i really didn't like blitzball but thats probably because i suck at it!! The sphere grid and voices didn't bother me at all

i liked FFX but even though i really hated Tidus' voice -it didn't stop me from enjoying the story. it's not my fave game in the series but it was fun! ^_^

LOL - Well i guess I'm just old scool, but the vioces wig me...

As for muting the tv then I have to read subtitles and watch amovie instead of being able to go at my own pace... If I wanna read I'll read a book =)

Now the graphics, I'll agree with that the game was very visually stunning, and the Aeons really were very impressive. I tell ya what, I'll try one more time but if I can't get into it then as least I tried one last time...

hehe although you know I tried a dozens times already... as for how far I got? Jeez, I think I got up to the part where you gotta beat Yunalesca... I got past that part a little ways...

Ugh, blitzball thats another thing... I like my rpgs as rpgs you know? Why the heck do I wanna play a sports game when I'm playing Final Fantasy? LOL I'll play NBA Jam or Madden Football for that you know?

Boy, I'm not trying to pick nits really I guess I just don't like it... but I'll try again lol

Now if you'll only read a book if you wanna read, then how the hell did you finish the other FF games?

I agree, blitzball bored the hell outta me, but to be honest, i was garbage at it!
Cant think of anything else to fault though.
The music was incredible also, i have even just bought the four disc cd!

Hitting eratically isnt a bad thing.
I know it doesn't go down well if your character is confused, but other than
that, its nothing bad!

Not sure what it really has to do with the topic, but I generally consider Berserk status to be a bad thing myself --- you can't use any items, magic or overdrives.

Yeah I'm talking movies with subtitles not video games that you can read at your own pace dear =) Totally diferent when your watching a movie because the movie keeps going and your trying like hell to keep up with both that and the subtitles youdget it?

With the other final fantasy games I didn't feel rushed to read because I could move most of the story along at my own pace, capesh?


It is if you're Lulu, or Yuna, or Rikku.


Now this I can agree on ... specially Luna since shes the best healer in the game.

I love basically everything about the game. Tidus laugh is making me crazy though. Yunas to for that matter.. she�s doing it alot better in X-2 though. The music in X-2, that is something that makes me wanna rip of my ears and frie them togheter with cheese and feed my dog with them. God, what were they thinking?!

i liked most of the game, with the exception mostly being about the ending (which imo blows). i love blitzball, the plot slowly unravels throughout the story, getting better and better. the music score was brilliant, especially the one that reminds me of FFVIII's 'Drifting'. i thought the sphere grid was easy enough.

i didn't understand why Lulu dresses like a goth? oh well, at least she has big boobs. oh yeah, that reminds me...i think it's really funny when Lulu's hasted, and at the end of the battle, when the camera focuses on her, her boobs jiggle up and down really fast, hilarious! but enough of that.

besides the ending, other stuff that pisses me off is tidus' annoying bitching and nimrook being on the psyches for so long! also being in the desert and fighting evrae without Yuna was so damn hard! and rikku, i think, was a stereotypical dumb blonde. but so is tidus, so it all works out.

I wasn't much interested in ffx, nor x-2 and i haven't played any of the other games either...excfept a tad of eight...not even./...and i think the older stuff is better...its funny how usually when new shit comes out it sucks...

I gurantee you will eventually play ff because it is mostly what you will hear about. But you are right, there are many other boards that dont invovle ff.
