I actually took my name from the video game GODHAND, because it is what all games should be. Hard, but fair. And really funny.
I said VIII was better and that I held the rest of the series above this game. Do not project your opinion that X is the best in the series onto me, because I don't agree. I think it's the worst. XII was best because it highlighted what RPG gameplay actually is - a small series of "if statements" carried out by a player. And it had the least utterly embarassing cutscenes to watch of the more recent games.I mean really, if that's what you think of FFX I would hate to see what you think of the rest of the series.
Earlier games like III are good because they didn't try hard as X with their characters and story and so had less room to become EPIC FAIL by doing them badly.
Also VIII can't be gotten through by mashing X because the final bosses will hand your ass to you.
