| KillerMan said: Good but could have been better also. It took too much time to be able to use whole battle system, Story was pretty messy and dialog was usually cheesy as hell. I also hated vanille with passion. Enjoyable game but not at FFX level (only other mainline FF game that I have completed) |
FFX Lovers UNITE!!! XD
Anyways the battle system was NOT my cup of tea at all, but I chalk that up to personal preference and doesn't take away from the fact that the game was of stellar quality. I felt like the story aspect was hugely under-developed; the substance was there but they just didn't do much with it! Cid was hardly even a character and I had no ill feelings toward *SPOILER* -----------Barthandelus ----------*END SPOILER" because he wasn't a good villain. I only felt slightly opposed to him because he was snobby and was "the bad guy."
I actually liked all of the characters, or wanted to, even Hope and Vanille who everyone complains about. They did so little with Fang (the most interesting character in my opinion) its disgusting. If you are so inclined to read the datalog for long stretches of time it will fill in the gaps that the spoken dialogue leaves, but I only discovered this fact about 3/4 of the way through the game and was left very irritated (the little tutorial in the beginning didn't tell me that this is where a large percentage of the story gets told, GRRRRR!!!) The battles honestly could have gone a bit quicker. Look at the difference between Behemoth fights between FFX and FFXIII. It's just too much to battle this one fucking enemy for like 5 minutes only to be RAPED by its fucking sunder attack. FUCK!
Sorry about that aggression, but it was truly infuriating. But even after all these issues and more, I still acknowledge it as a great game. It was not what I was expecting at all, and I think that's why we have such polarized views on th quality of the game. If I had never played a Final Fantasy I would have probably enjoyed it a lot more. So, great game but not the best FF by any means.
