Certainly prefer the older games, didn't mind XII, but XIII was by far one of the biggest disappointments for me in the series. I haven't been able to make myself play more than 20 hours of it, just no interest.

Who remembers the bane sword from FF1? What a beast when used as an item :D

Reminds me when some member who made a thread about how SS sold terribly in comparison to TP; it was a controversial thread. S/He was a beast poster.

Just one question? Why is X considered classic? It's basically the first modern FF, and it also had most of the problems that people complain about in the last two games (XII-XIII). I actually think it's one of the worst FF games, and can't for the life of me figure out why it gets praise while XIII gets so much hate. IMO they are in the same league, and I would definitely re-play XIII over X.

Wakka is the worst guy ever, he makes Snow look awesome. And there isn't a single moment in the game involving Vanille that even comes close to the horrible laughing scene with Tidus and Yuna.

XIII gets hate because it was riduclously linear and was nothing but fights interspersed with story. In a 50+ hour game you expect some variety and FFX offered that in the form of the the temple puzzles and the Blitzball mini-game. Even though X was very linear it also had more freedom in that it actually had branching paths from the start and you could return to any of the areas once you got on the airship. It also did a much better job of allowing the player to explore and discover elements in the world with stuff like the the Al Bhed primers teaching allowing you to learn their language rather than forcing you to use a datalog/encylopedia.

Another complaint about both XII and XIII is the battle system becomes far too automated and removes the player. Personally I didn't think it was too much of a problem in XII as you strategise before hand but I can understand the complaint a little in XIII. X on the other hand gave complete control of your party, allowed party switching mid-fight and was an appropriate evolution of the old ATB system.

Basically, whilst FFX was linear and suffered from a number of problems associated with modern FF's (I'd go as far as to say it was the starting point of the problems), it still retained some of the classic elements of Final Fantasy.

Oh, and yes, the dialogue was atrocious but is often forgiven because it was the first game in the series to have voice acting.


Totally agree with Scoobes.

I really liked FFX also because of the Sphere Grid, probably the best growth system in the FFs that I've played.

You are so sexy as a dark night, but my love is for you as a paladin. When will you find your true self? :) Just larping a little

for me it ended with IX, while ignoring VIII completely...

Wow, that's exactly what I think.

At least we got a great ending with number IX - and there's some well-made substitutes for the main series.


Ha!  Running joke between me and friends since high school has been "it's weird how Square didn't make a Final Fantasy VIII,"  since we've all wiped its existence from our memories.

You two get a room. But yeah the bane sword was awesome.

What was your prefered way to play through the Original FF? I couldn't imagine going through the game without at least one White mage. Was anyone crazy enough to try to beat the game with 4 white mages?

That's what I keep saying. I still love both though.

Has there been any more news on the FFX remake remaster?
