Even by the low standards of video game story telling FFX was just dreadful. The plot, characters and dialog are all terrible, just awful. Making the cutscenes unskippable to force me to sit through that drivel was simply inexcusable. The gameplay was simple, shallow and easy with tonnes of unnecessary guidance and hand holding. I hate the art direction, especially concerning the character models. I was a huge Final Fantasy fan between the original and the SNES titles but they started losing me on the PS1. FFX was an abomination as far as I'm concerned, the final nail in the coffin for what was once my favorite series.
