Ah VGP, your situation is very much alike mine!
I dont have a favorite game of all time, because when you have played as many games as I did(and Im sure many on this forum qualify in this), you have favorites, not a single one.Too many masterpieces have been released along the years to really just narrow it down to only one.And FFX is one of such favorites.It is actually my first RPG to fall in love with.
But alas, I also had to play the game several times in order to beat it!Took me about 10 years to beat the game.In my first playthrough, I had reached the battle against Sin in the airship, only to my brother overwrite my savefile.In my second attempt, I reached the same fight, only to lose once again the save file(At first I thought my brother had saved over yet again, but I had just saved on my second memory card and never noticed it XD)
Finally, in my third playthrough, when I was much older and knew how to play RPGs better, I finally reached the final boss, and after grinding for 5 hours, finally managed to beat him and finish the game.And all those playthroughs are split by multiple years.
FF X is such as masterpiece.Shame it went downhill after that(With exception of FF XIV, but thats an online game, so I dont really count as a mainline entry)
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
