Seems like most people that love 10 were teenagers while they played it, but things like linearity and a more emotional approach get a pass on 10 while it's hardly criticized on 13. I felt 10 was more alive than 13, had a stronger char than 13 (Auron beats any 13 char), and it has more customization than 13 as well, but all those are not that much more standing on 10 to the extent of hate 13 gets. I wonder if 13 would have a way easier time if it was a PS2 game and most people had played it before turning into adults. Also am I the only that love 12 OST? Okay that 10 had some strong tracks but 12 OST is great all over it, it sounds epic and powerful when it want and smooth when it needs. Seriously, go listen to some of those, guys xP |
Final Fantasy often does get new audiences so it's no surprise that those who played FFX were younger ...
I also liked FFX more than FFXIII but I didn't see any reason to hate twice as much since many of the complaints that were in FFXIII could also be applied to FFX ...
Your theroy about how adolescent people want to fit in with critics is not unfounded when all they want is to be seen as cool so maybe FFXIII wouldn't have gotten as much flak if it was a PS2 game. These days it's cool to be the critic instead of handing out honest analysis ...
