FFX was great for me and it is in my random top 3 FF games (FFVI/FFIX/FFX) can't really decide which one is my favourite depends on my mood.
FFX blew me away, the characters like Auron are my cup of tea, the music was outstanding and what people should not forget this was basically the first mayor JRPg with voice acting and sure we can lauch with the hahahaha part but it was a big deal for us.
I loved the new level up system, I personally disliked the simple 'level up to 99' mechanice some games had and I enjoyed the very big level system from FFX.
I remember how I almost was finished the game and then went to besaid and got attacked by the Dark Valefor Aeon and he killed my team...Went back to leveling and came back to defeat him, felt great and then found out he wasn't the only one...
I went so far that I bought it again for PS4 and have the platinum for all the FFX related games ^^'.
While FFX-2 wasn't that great the monster arena aspect was something that people really should not miss, people never knew that you coudl play with characters as lulu/Tidus in FFX-2 till I showed them =p.

If you care to explain your experiences, I'd love to hear it!! That goes too for anyone else who wants to share their experiences and memories with the game. I hope to hear back from you guys - Dominic (VGPolyglot) |
True you aren't alone! Should be me in there right next to Kapi as we both love FFX and FFVIII.
In fact my story is similar to Kapi as I fell in love at first sight. My uncle had a PS2 and FFX, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Me my brother and my friend had to play this masterpiece. I too played it multiple times without beating it, whether it be on my uncles ps2, my friends ps2, my ps2 or my ps3. I definitely have over 20 playthroughs of varying lengths. But I did finally beat it on my PS2 and it was glorious, solidifying as one of the best games of all time. Blitzball is the best along with Triple Triad. Story is great, battle system is great, and the music is masterful. In Darashivas song poll I think I put 2 or 3 songs from FFX.

Perhaps dying at peace wasn't as rare once. It seems like many of Spira's problems stem from either technology or religion. With neither of those things troubling people it isn't unreasonable to assume people were much more likely to die at peace (less war, no Sin... almost certainly more deaths due to old age which is generally much more peaceful than other deaths) and thus fiends were a much rarer occurrence. Then when technology/religion did come along fiends weren't a problem because technology gave them the means to fight and kill fiends (can't remember them ever being sent so I'm assuming killing them sends them to the farplane anyway) while religion gave them sendings preventing fiends from spawning in the first place. Of course the population would have been significantly lower too, meaning far fewer fiends to deal with, they may well have been weaker fiends too. |
Unsents envy the living, though; that's why it's so important to practise the sending regardless of the current status of the deceased creature. Once enough hatred has accumulated, they turn into fiends. And there's far more problems than machine vs religion; Seymour for example was sort of stigmatized because of his crossbreed nature (not to mention what his mother did probably screwed up his psyche much more). It's really hard to envision a totally peaceful situation up to the moment where Zanarkand and Bevelle fought (and the formers were destroyed), leading to the creation of Sin. It only takes one extremely hateful soul (like Seymour's) to become some unstoppable fiend (because since he can't be sent, he'll come back over and over), and while we don't know how life originated in Spira, Farplane and the deceased's nature has work since its origins. Thus, either we accept the theory that there was absolutely no conflict or selfishness in Spira until Zanarkand developed the sending rite (which sounds really awkward), or it's a fundamental flaw in Spira's rules.
| Ka-pi96 said: That gives more credence to my more people died peaceful deaths suggestion. Without widespread warfare (or fiends) many more people would have died of old age rather than other things as I mentioned. Those that die of old age usually seem to be at peace with it and accept their death, rather than envy the living, thus fewer fiends being created. The Seymour example doesn't work so well, the crossbreed stigma especially. It would have taken awhile for life to diversify enough for there to actually be racism or any kind of stigma like that. Besides, it also would have taken a fair bit of time for different populations to actually come in contact with eachother. Of course you could get someone who was just a dick like him. But even dicks can accept their own death. |
But that's the problem in itself. Even if we accept that people dying of old age immediately results as dying in peace, that doesn't explain countless deaths that could happen another way around: accidents, crimes, even something turned fiend (no matter how few there were) preying on humans. All those deaths would not equal as dying in peace, or being at peace with the living (not necessarily; once again it could be, but the result could be something as Auron, who is dead but refuses to go until everything is fixed). Even if civilization collectivelly managed to only die of old age, it only takes one small mistake to create a rift and make the world unbalanced in this sense; creating an endless stream of fiends that come over and over again in time. Somehow anger grew up between Zanarkand and Bevelle which lead to war; and the reasons for this must have been discomfort previously, so there's an antecedent of disdain.
That creates a second paradox. If humanity was so pure as they could die without regrets or envying the living, why was the Sending created, then. When did humanity realized that "gee, somehow people are dying but coming back as fiends despite no record of this previously, let's just force them to go to the farplane whether they want or not". Either there was a previous constancy of this that forced Zanarkand to create the rite (predating the war from Zanarkand and Bevelle), which then again doesn't explain how humanity survived that much, or there was no need to create the rite in the first place, which we know how that ended up going.
Crossbreeds were just an example of hate growing up from more than religion and science. Disharmony lies within the heart of men and women, as Yunalesca points out to Wakka (I mean, she's only 10,000 years old, and lived during the Zanarkand vs Bevelle era, so she can't possibly know before this; it's more reasonable to think that just like mankind has virtues, selfishness and hate can't be ruled out as part of their nature, though).
This looks like the official VGChartz FBI thread with all that black out!

At least he finished it, to this day Ive only ever seen the ending thanks to YouTube. Stupid child me got stuck on the Seymour fight on Mt Gagazet. Went back years later and it was super easy, never finished the game though. Even when the HD version released (which I own on 4 platforms) I never finished the game. Still I often put it at No.1 on my all time faves list though |
I knew there was a good reason to keep you on my friends list, despite not really talking to you
