It's soooooo cool to hate FFX. It's popular for a reason brother. Look at all the other rpgs coming out at the same time. FFX was better than MOST in terms of: story, gameplay, graphics and music. If it wasn't so popular you wouldn't be calling it bland. Please don't make fun of other's opinions exspecialy when your's is a minority. |
But FFX <i>is</i> bad. The story is mindless blather that's been regurgitated since the beginning of the SNES days (with a moderate pomo twist, that, all things considered, wasn't very good), the music was bland, the voice acting was terrible, the system gave you the illusion of choice with very little of the reality of it, it was linear as all crap, and the balance between story and gameplay was way off - too many endless, useless story scenes, but also too many points where you walk down giant, mostly empty battle-areas, with almost nothing to hook you in terms of neat twists.
So either my opinion of it was different because I've outgrown RPGs, or the standard for good RPGs has fallen through the floor.
Anyways, my three favorites are probably Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger and Ogre Battle 64.
