Played a little bit more today.

My wife's reaction was ... bad.

The first time she heard Yuna and Tidus talking to each other, she got up, left the room, and went to go retrieve her noise canceling earbuds. Thereafter, she actually just took her laptop into another room.

Ouch.

Also how is it I go through that whole long-ass Blitzball tutorial and then I don't get to play, damnation people

Seems to be the general rule with FF minigames, you'll go through a long tutorial that might end up with playing it once, and then you don't get to play again until later in the game.

Yeah I don't think there's any argument that the VO is good, it really hurts the games overall story since it would have been much better if it was all reading like past FF games, then the Yuna/Tidus laugh scene wouldn't be so infamous and you could basically skip through Tidus's dialog.

I think its the most emotional, involved story in any game I've played. Why is FF X getting so much hate in this thread?

I assume that I haven't gotten to the really emotional, involved part.

@Kenryoku: Generally if I just want a really fun RPG I'd play a Dragon Quest. I found DQIV's funny accents amusing and charming, an enhancement to my experience.

"Och, a wee naff like yew cannae hope to stop the mighty Ragnar McRyan! *kills two guys in one punch*"

That shit was awesome. The stuff in FFX is not enhancing my experience so far, and I can't ignore it.

Soundtrack is still by and large gorgeous, I grant.

No that award still goes to Final Fantasy Tactics.

And I have no words for X-2, it basically took everything bad about FFX and then take away the good aspects...

It's only sad if you like the characters and I found it impossible to like Tidus and Yuna could be likeable assuming you just pretend the terrible dialogue is due to translation and ignore the voice acting.

Sorry but I'm afraid that if I kill you there would be plenty of traces of evidence since you asked somebody to do it and then the cops would easily see this post and see somebody agree to do it and they would put two and two together and well you know where this is going. That story would probably be a better one than Final Fantasy X's, though. This is especially true if Jack McCoy is the ADA

I liked Tidus and Yuna but that may be because I am a teenager myself.
