I didn't think it was that good. Maybe it's the lack of world map, maybe I'm just getting to old for this stuff. This one disappointed me, I'd much rather play all of them over again before this one (exception: FFII).

The lack of a map seems to be one of the main issues with the game. But there IS a world map and you CAN explore Spira in its entirety, at least before the game is over.
Most FFs seem to have that period just before the end where you can explore as you wish; I'm not sure why not having this option during the whole FFX game, when you have a task to do anyway, brings the game down for some people. Usually, in FF7, when I visited places not on the itinerary, they were closed or blocked off somehow anyway (ex., Red XIII's home was one of my favorite places to go, but until the point in the game where the characters had to use the telescope thing, it was blocked off; and after I was done, there wasn't much point to going back anyway). And I got lost way too much on FFVI's world map, which led to running into way too many random battles.
I don't know about you guys, but I would have gladly traded in the FF7 and FF8 world maps to get rid of some of the characters in those games. :p
ff8 far enough, they nearly all reeked, but which ff7 guys didnt u like? warning...beware blaspemy! lol
Tifa and Aeris (I tried my damnest not to end up on a date with either of them, and got the one I hated most). Cloud wasn't much fun, either. I couldn't bring myself to care about what happened to him one way or another.Quote:

I don't want to turn this into a FF7 character-bash thread, though, because I know how many people are unwaveringly loyal to those characters. I'll just say that I liked FFX's much more than FF7's or FF8's.
i personally prefer ff7 but hey its opinion. i would like 2 know why you prefered ffx characters though out of interest. maybe its just cause cloud was a depressed ****wit, aka, i relate to him more lol.
I guess the FFX characters were a little more mature. With the "!!!!!"s in the little text bubbles taken away from the game, I think it gave the dialogue more realism, even if some of the voice acting was horrible. No one had tremendously hilariously huge boobs, no one moped and pined for someone (Yuna and Tidus wasn't my favorite romance, but it was nowhere near as annoying as Tifa refusing to help anyone in the group out except Cloud, or dropping out when he went missing). I guess the FF7 characters seemed, to me, overdone, too cartoony. Maybe that's expecting too much out of a video game, but I liked the FFX characters' subdued personalities much more, and found them more believable and likable that way.
i definitly know why you prefer them now. i dont know if i agree on realism but ffx was more western imho while ff7 was done in an anime/manga style. i,m an absolute anime otaku (the western use of otaku, not the japanese meaning which is quite bad) and i,m also in love with aeris, hence my nickname.
which was your fav romance by the way?
Well. Hm. I haven't liked any that I've seen so far, really. I'm not finished with FF6 so I don't know if there's a definate romance in that one, but I was sort of pushing for a Leo/Terra romance, which would have been my favorite if it had happened.Quote:

sos 2 be harsh greeneyes but mark your spoliers. i havent finished ffx-2 100% yet and while that was likely to happen, u have still ruined my hope that ffx-2 would stick with a tragic end like ffx.
cause i feel a happy end would destroy the genius way tidus left yuna in ffx. i have seen the end of ffx-2 100% now and it was good. howeveri feel it undermines and destroys the essence of the ffx end.
this would be the same reason why aeris must stay dead. i love her, but 4 her to come back would undermine ff7.
at least ffx-2 end was nice. ff8 end...oh my god, horrible lol. however ff8,ff9 and now ffx-2 have all had romantic reunions and i,m sort of getting sick of them.
