None of them were likeable and they might as well have been cardboard cutouts. "Oh look, the chipper cutesy female with a dark past", "The stereotypically black dude who's only funny because he lost his son!", "Oh look, I'm the bad guy using religion to rule the world!" None of the characters, good or bad, was memorable or interesting...and what the heck was with 'cid'? he's in it for like 1 battle and 10 minutes of story! |
I agree with this more than anything else you said. I used to be a huge FF fan myself, but I started losing faith around FF8. I never thought I'd play a game (let alone a Final Fantasy) that I disliked (at times) more than FF8.
But I did find the combat at least somewhat enjoyable near the end. It isn't so exact that you have to "do this or die". That relates the idea of a sort of unfair/random difficulty that I didn't find to be the case. I found the game super easy for the most part, with a little bit of easy during the 'free-roam' part.
Granted, I stopped once I got to farming the adamantoise or whatever they were called so I didn't take on the hardest of enemies. I was going for all the trophies before I finally just stopped caring.
All in all, I did enjoy some parts of the game. Was it worth it? Hell no.
