Just finished it tonight, now that I've played it I'd rank it probably as the third best in the series, just barely, and I mean BARELY behind FF7, the ending was so heartbreaking and beautiful, I even cried a little. Excellent game with probably the best pure story/storytelling of the whole series. It had a complicated story but it stayed grounded, and some truly touching moments and beautifully developed characters.
So far, my list of FF games is as follows.
FF6
FF7
FF10
FF9
FF2
FF8
Now I'm off to start X-2, hope it doesnt disapoint.
Told ya FFX kicked ass....(I cried my eyes out at the end and I KNEW what was going to happen because one of my friends had beaten it not long before and told me). I loved how complex the story was, because every time you thought you had it figured out, it would totally change...awesome.
FFX-2 is not going to live up to FFX in anyway, I'm afraid to tell you....but it is a fun game. There's a lot of flaws with it, like that the storyline of the game doesn't even appear until the end of the second chapter (halfway through the game)....and don't bother playing blitzball if you liked it in FFX because it's played totally differently 😬 It's mostly a lot of mini-games that sorta tie into the main story....some are just bizarre though 😖
Yeah, I'm not expecing FFX-2 to be anywhere near FFX, I'm just hoping for some fun.
Though I must say, the drastic change of atmosphere from the first game is really jarring at first. FFX had a really meloncholy and serious tone, while FFX-2 is really light hearted and silly.
I'm also curious as to where exactly they're going with the Sphere of Tidus that Yuna found, more or less I'm just playing to continue the story. Too bad my favorite character from FFX isn't around anymore (Auron).
After playing through so many FF games over the past month, I can't wait for FFXII. I hope them taking their time with it will pay off.
anyone ever played the Direct translation Rom Version for Final Fantasy 6? I just am starting it...alot of dialogue differences and even some differences in models...like the siren and shiva are nude.. And they call it the war of the Demons instead of Magi lol. also have a Rom version that is alot harder that im gonna try too. I Love FF6...Opera Scene is so amazing and I dont care if it was on snes im gonna say it THE MUSIC IS THE BEST EVER,
