Are Final Fantasy 10 fans hypocrites?

So because Square threw away everything good in FF X (and hell, it has a lot of good stuff to keep) and only kept the linearity, FF X "started it" ?

Lol.

Most of you are bashig Tidus, but eventhough he's irritating at times, he's interesting. Why ? Because he evolves through the game. He's not the same guy at all when the game ends (and damn, what an ending).

Also, FF X has a great story, an astounding OST, great side characters (Lulu, Auron, Yuna, Seymour), amazing side quests (the Celestial Weapons, the Dark Aeons, Penance, the Monster Arena, etc...), you got to actually explore Spira, etc...

And I'm sorry, but FF XIII lacks these things, except for the story, which was alright I guess, but not exactly compelling.

I have been over this so many times on this forum (and others), and I really cant be bothered doing it again. Ill give a short summary because Im watching the football.

The linearity isnt the only problem I have with X and XIII. Both games have poor casts. Both games have poor soundtracks (With one or two great tracks from each game). X has the worst voice acting Ive ever heard. Tidus is single handedly the worst main character in any videogame Ive played, everything from his 90s boyband reject design to his voice (Which is the single worst piece of voice acting in videogames by the way) is irritating beyond belief, and XIII has Hope...

On the plus side, X has Auron. There is that.

I guess this is too subjective to be discussed. But about the music, I have to admit I haven't seen a lot of people claiming it's bad.

Wandering, Fleeting Dream, To Zarnakand, Assault/Attack, Final Battle, Silence Before The Storm, Ending Theme... 

Also, it has a LOT of diversity, from the "latino" vibes to the Japanese culture inspired themes, including some blues here and there...

I don't really know how it could be better than it is.
