Finally, a good Final Fantasy game in a long time

Im jus really happy with the espers in general. I think they all look crazy, Ive only gotten Belias so far an his overdrive is jus jaw dropping an that makes me think jus how kick-ass all the other espers must be, an i like the fact that you have to beat them in order to get them. The game auctually makes you work for them, not jus go threw a puzzle room thingy an i have to sit there an listen to sum weird opera music while a chick prays. ff-x made it to easy, the only aeons that were hard to get were the magus sisters an when you got them they were stupid! Talk about dashing your hopes an dreams.....

Go to youtube, there's videos on there of alot of the espers, both using them and seeing their overdrives, and also fighting some of them. Also, you must not have played VIII, cuz you battled the summons in there before you could use them.

Oh and uh, I never managed to get the magus sisters, but if i recall correctly, they were the strongest Aeon in the game...

hmpff, FFX is my second favourite FF after FFVII. FFXII is a close third.

What has everyone got against FFX?? The battling was awesome. Definitely more strategic than FFXII. And FFXIII looks like its gonna be really good, but we cant really say anything about that game until more info comes out (especially if your saying it looks like another Nomura schlock, we've only seen ONE character!! lol)

X had more strategic battles than XII? Uh...i wouldnt go so far as to say that...most battles were pretty straightforward, unless it was the occasional battle like Yunalesca, now that battle was a royal pain and it took a while just to figure out how to survive, let alone beat her. I thought the plot was a little lame too, but it was still a great game. And XIII...it looks reeeeeeeeally pretty, but prettiness isnt everything. There's gonna be multiple versions too...I'm kind of worried that SquareEnix is getting more and more greedy now, what with all of the spinoffs of VII, the horrid sequal to X, that one spinoff of XII, and now XIII...

Ive completed FFXII and while I like the battle system, it isnt exactly strategic, most of it is just speed if your playing on Active, and if your playing on Wait its pretty just a matter of having enough money/equipment/level/licenses. If a boss is too tough for you, sometimes, i repeat SOMETIMES, there is a strategic plan that will make you win, but most of the time you just have to end up levelling and getting more money so you can buy extra spells and licence them etc. In FFX you usually had quite a range of things to do in a battle when your stuck. I think im pretty good and Final Fantasy's, so its not a matter of me being crap :D
In my opinion anyway. Also, if you were like me and fought all the Dark Aeons and did everything in FFX, then surely you agree that those were hard as nails. Though obviously, those required a lot of levelling (or sphere boarding).

Dude, chill. I understood the story to its fullest and still think it's the best one. And I guarantee I'm not the only one on this cite who's figured out that you get your kicks off trying to piss off every FFVII fan. I personally think that you're just an ass.

ya,me too. I ooved FF7, and yes, im confused by the story,but that makes it sooo good! FF13 is gonna ruin the FF seires...

I've said this before, but this is my opinion. Final Fantasies are meant to be unique, and each of them suits different tastes to provide to each individual gamer. Which is why none are really the same these days, and the difficultly levels are varied. So as much as you enjoy searching for crystals, or chasing Sephiroth, or fighting Sin... Don’t expect to find the next Final Fantasy anything like the previous. This I respect. Of course there will be Final Fantasies that some gamers don't like... But guess what? They've already had a Final Fantasy that suited them perfectly, so lets give another gamer a chance to find theirs. And it's not cool when those people are so greedy that they can't see that this is what Square is hopefully trying to achieve... So since they can't have a Final Fantasy like the one they enjoy, they all of a sudden think that Square has met their "downfall".

Spawn Of Sephiroth, Dude, What you have said can not be more correct.
