I'd just like to take this opportunity to LOL at the individual who asserted that FFX is the best game in the series before admitting that it was the first one they played. It's the same for just about every single person who think FFX is the best one. And that goes for FFVII as well. Frankly it's getting a bit tiresome.
People need to either develop some self-awareness, like that other guy in this thread did, or just admit that the series is plagued by the rehashing it can't survive without.
