This kind of reaction is exactly why I say that FFX was divisive. I heard a lot of similar talk in 2002.aaaaannnnnndd.. I'm done with 10.
As in, i hate the game. Not interested in finishing it. Tidus is the stupidest protagonist in the series and is also the worst deigned. His outfit is beyond dumb. Just looking at it makes me want to snap the disc in half. Wakka is annoying and I hate seeing his face and hearing his voice, ya? The only characters I like are Yuna, Riku and Lulu. I even dislike Auron, with this 1 arm in the sleeve thing, this terrible glasses, the jug, and his turtle neck coat, as well as the fact the he's supposed to the "cool" character all make me angry. I remember why i didn't play this to completion back in the day now. FF10 is up for worst cast in an FF game. Can't think of another group of FF characters that are as bad. Also, everytime I try to take the story seriously and I am reminded that calling the monster that is destroying the world "sin" is about as ham-fisted as it gets.
edit: even Lulu loses all cool factor once you realize thatWhich leaves me with Yuna a.k.a a summon on the screen, and Riku, who i actually have no complaints about. She rocks and is the one fully redeeming character in FF10.wakka hooks up with her and they are a "thing", seems to make no sense as their personalities don't match at all, seems very VERY forced
Going to play X-2. This game, I actually enjoyed, it's light hearted and has only 3 characters, all of which I like and the battle system is better and far more interesting. Also Yuna looks much better, her summon garb always look rather generic to me. in X-2 at least she has style.

Vita version charted at #9 (!)

And yet the XII OT on GAF was fairly civil, and rarely had meltdown posts from people who just couldn't wait to rage on it. It was intentionally a very different game. The nature of division in the fanbase was far different.comparing with 12, X wasn't divisive at all. Every time after new release there is some hate talk from those that liked previous game too much to let it go, and wanted more of the same, but most still embraced new one and moved on. While after 12 we had constant wars, and still have, it split fanbase for good, even FF6-7 debacle wasn't that bad, and it was really bad, believe me, we hear echoes of it to this day. (><)
IDK, man, I wouldn't call gaf your typical FF fanbase. That's not what I was talking about at all.And yet the XII OT on GAF was fairly civil, and rarely had meltdown posts from people who just couldn't wait to rage on it.

But anti-X rants had the same flavor of anti-XIII rants (even though XIII was in a whole new league of backlash)... Lots of anti-anime sentiment, bitching about the writing, very negative on the linearity.

It wasn't fixed in 1.5 HD, that change was made in Final Mix.My biggest beef is with the cutscenes (and unskippable dialogue too) though, especially when it was fixed in something like KH 1.5 HD.
I always personally felt the battle-system in X was really slow though (probably the slowest in the series), especially when compared to something like its sequel X-2 which had the right amount of everything in it. Maybe placing next to it's direct sequel heightens those feelings though.
It's not slow, and it's not the slowest in the series. Near instant loads and you're able to input one command before the previous animation finishes. It's the same as all the other ATB games except it visualizes it much better. And unless the enemy is far away you don't have to wait for Wakka's ball to come back, you can just pick the next command.but it's still lengthy... and waiting for Wakka's ball to come back lol
A re-release thread of an old game that people made their minds up about 12 years ago is not a fair sample of the population. This thread is, by definition, a nostalgic reunion for the FFX faithful.That was the first dislike post I've read in 112 pages, lol. It's not really a divisive game.
FFXII seems to be split 50/50 on whether people like it or dislike it. Most people hate 8 and 13. Just the mere mention of FF7's name is usually enough to provoke an endless argument.
I think I'd be shocked if I saw any FFX threads where at least 4 out of every 5 people weren't liking the game.
I personally find it odd because I've loved post-X-2 FFs far more than the X games. But you know... Tastes. Perspectives. Etc.IDK, man, I wouldn't call gaf your typical FF fanbase. That's not what I was talking about at all.
Anyway, I don't like to talk about any FF past FFX-2, as I don't like talking about games I care very little about. That maybe some indication, no? (><)

Welllll....
I had different memories of FFX. I played through it and enjoyed it well enough, but in my mind compared to FFX-2 it was mediocre. I planned on getting through FFX HD really fast so I could move on to X-2 HD but... it turns out X was a lot better than I remember. I'm really enjoying my time through this game much to my surprise and I'll have to start giving it more credit now.
I was one that didn't hate X, but didn't love it either. Definitely didn't like it as much as I liked IV-IX at that time.
Then I imported the International Version, gave it another chance, and loved it since then. The story and the characters are kinda meh, but the game is pretty fun.
Can somebody help me?
So, i'm trying to get lv 2 and 3 key spheres from defender z's inzanarkand
but they won't show up. Are they really that rare? Did they change things in the international release?

Where are trying to find them? They only show up in the stadium section and I found them to show up quite frequently
I don't think i'm in the stadium. Thanks you!
No problem. Once your fighting dead monks and kicking robots you're in the right place
apparently i am in the right place
but only speed spheres drop. i dont get it

According to my guide the only things Defender Z drops are level 2 and 3 key spheres. Not sure what's going on
I actually want people to love X. And I want to enjoy it myself. My copy is in the mail.
I just bristle a little bit at this recent talk of how perfect FFX is, and how great it is compared to later FFs. I was a mature fan when it came out and it wasn't all roses back then. I just can't help myself but to say.... Doesn't anyone else remember the controversial debates over this game?
Or maybe I should just let it be, and await the day when the FFXIII 4k collection is basking in glowing praise...?![]()
Do any of you guys that have the guide recommend it? I was going to buy it but the Amazon comments are really bad: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/074401543X/

Interesting perspectives. Perhaps it will be the same for me.
We were judging FF games are a pretty high standard after the string of gems in the 90s. Perhaps it holds up well under re-assessment.
Are you using a weapon with distill speed?apparently i am in the right place

The Piggyback guides are generally far better than the Bradygames ones (in content and paper quality). They're old so they probably cost a bit new but maybe you can find used ones in good condition somewhere.

As many of you are much further than me, I would like some advice on acquiring required money on my way to Yojimbo, as I remember I had nowhere near enough when I've played for the first time. I'm at the end of Miihen road now, for reference and I'm poor!
I think I heard somewhere that respawn rates reset if you quit and then restart the game.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I did it trying to find Dual horns so I could get some ability spheres early on in the game. Worked then.
I remember the launch, yes. A lot of things in this game, imo, don't hold up with the expectations we had of a Final Fantasy game. I mean, no world map? Linear story? WTF is this level up system? Even the voice acting did affect some things in the game.
Are you using a weapon with distill speed?
Doesn't hold up? Linear story? Every Final Fantasy has a linear story. And the sphere grid is far deeper than the previous level systems. Not sure what you're talking about.
You kidding, right? Of course, it's slower than X-2, any battle system is slower than X-2, but slowest? Not even close! It's fast and controls are snappy and responsive. What can make it feel slow, summons, if you use them a lot, then yes, it feels slow, because summoning process is long.
Agreed. FFX isn't even close to being slow in FF terms. Try replaying FFIX.
Haha oh shit. I was grinding at the Bevelle spot, getting 8500 AP per battle, and doing so for like an hour and I was 100% SURE I had only Tidus Yuna and Wakka in my party. I don't know why, but now they're overpowered compared to the rest of the team and have basically finished their section of the grid :lol:
Oh well, I'm gonna spend some time leveling the others before leaving.
How far is Bevelle in the main story line, like % through?
