I'm sorry but FFX deserves that 6/10

I'm glad someone back then realised how mediocre the game really was.

At least you're consistent, considering that FFX and FFXIII are almost identical in structure and pacing. I don't mind if people don't like a game as long as they explain their reasons and their opinions are consistant. We obviously have different expectation and tastes in gaming, I'm enjoying XIII-2 a lot less than XIII.

I pretty much consider FFXIII a continuation of FFX's problems, I have said that many times here and it isn't even a coincidence considering the same people are behind bothe games.

I enjoyed both X-2 & XIII-2 more than X or XIII to be honest with you, they were just more fun games and had stories that came to me as ridiculous but fun (in XIII-2 in Live Trigger I picked all the silly options and most genuinely made me laugh), even though XIII-2's story many times seemed to be taking itself too seriously.

Then FFXII, I dislike that more than any of the others even though mechanically the game was good, it just wasn;'t exectued well and ended up bland and forgetful; shocking considering how much I lvoe Matsuno's games.

I semi-agree with you. i cant dislike FF10 because it was Sakaguchi's last FF. he himself expressed doubts at the time of moving the series foward with voice acting, the departure of the world map, and fully rendered 3D backgrounds. but some things did generally work very well. the battle system and the depth of Sphere Grid customisation, the replay value. the game had its moments. i dont consider it a top tier FF. but its a decent RPG, and yes it is an awful RPG at times. but that comes with the territory of unexplored ground.

the parts that you can see came from FF10 to FF13 were consequently the worst parts. the characters... only FF13s were worst. and those parts came from FF8 before it, which Sakaguchi had no involvment with. so it is the team who are to blame, since they've just come out of the train wrek that was The 3rd Birthday. and other games like Dirge of Cerberus, or FF10-2.

hopefully they have learned what they need to do now...

on the FF12 point. i dont know anymore, i love parts of the game, and other parts are saddening to experience, ie scenes involving Vaans Tidus type tantrums. they dont fit in with the tone of the game, the style of Matsuno's games. he wasnt even meant to be in the game. so this is a team i want to see take foward what worked in that game to FF15. since i believe that will be annouced this year.
