Contentless reply. On other boards, people get banned for this. Since you obviously aren't, you must be some kind of fat eCelebrity here or something to get away with it.

Dude, you need to play FFX-2. If you hate this game, you will go nuclear at how awful FFX-2 is.
X-2 failed so hard it looped back to win.

Tidus started out a little whiny (for about five minutes to be honest. There are few times he complains about anything besides the fact that Yuna is expected to die to save the world. A valid complaint if you ask me), but by the end of the game he had matured as a character and really grew into the role of a hero willing to die to save the world and the people he cared about. His growth was natural and logical as he was affected by the events around him.
I hope you felt dirty after dropping that massive load onto the interbutts. Tidus does not develop at all. He's still the whiny spoiled child he at the end as he was at the start of the game, the only difference is the volume of cutscene (not gameplay, we already clarified there basically is none) hours is massive enough to make people like you learn to love him. Anyone who thinks he's "mature" obviously has never taken the time to learn the meaning of the word.

I'd comment on more, but reading your comments are painful seeing as you can't make any reaction toward the game thats really worth reading.
I am sorry that I am calling it how it is rather than how you have deluded yourself into thinking it is or want it to be.

To deal with one of yr obvious mistakes though. Wakka to begin with is prejudiced against Al Bhed. Whether cos he's racist or against machina doesn't matter, its wrong. But he learns during the journey that Al Bhed aren't the real enemy, and that its Yevon that's corrupt and hypocritical. He even apologises to Cid for his previous ignorance. So he's not just a stupid "redneck", is he?
Right. The same way a KKK guy "apologises" to Al Sharpton. Nobody magically unlearns prejudice - it sticks with you until you die - and if you want to argue that Wakka somehow did, you immediately concede that he is an unrealistic character as well as just a badly written character and a filthy scumbag racist.

Do you even know when FFX was released?
Random battles are a product of hardware limitations that do not exist on the Playstation 2. Regardless of release date, it is a sign of incredible laziness or incompetence on Square's part that they continue to implement them.
