More like "Quit Your bitching about an FF title"

I only suggested stop talking about ones you like for those who don't hold any malice for any particular title.

I guess this is a good time for me to stop complaining about how everyone in FFIV fakes their deaths so that you only have six party members at a time.

I guess I could shut up about Tidus for a while. Or Nomura.

The goal here is to either stop me from trolling this game or eventually learn to appreciate it.

Well that's hardly fun.

Stupid things in games need to be called out. God knows the stupid people that eat up those stupid things won't call it out, so someone has to.

I'm getting more support for my trolling ways than I thought I would...

[Jessweeee♪]

Because people get more riled up by things they hate than things they like, I s'pose!

Its true, though the only time I think people hear me speak praises anymore is concerning Persona...

Then again, I feel sparking heated debate makes the forums more fun. Listening to people just talk about the good stuff concerning a title always sounds like a bunch of old maids from a quilting circle. It gets boring pretty quickly. I generally feel you learn more about something you love when you hear a different perspective and no one has a more different perspective than the person who dislikes your favorites.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

No, that's the second. The first step is having something worth quitting.

And FFXII. That's why you're currently defending the Espers, which I recall only using once ever, and that was to look at them. Oh, wait, maybe I should stop bashing XII for a while. See how that goes...

You could, though sadly I'm more happy with P3 than I was with XII.

Anyway...

I did another blunder so its time for another wonderful installment of "WK saying something nice about X" WARNING MAJOR SPOILERS!!!

I liked the fact that FFX finally did something that Square had been beating around the bush for years. I'm talking about having a bittersweet ending. V had the Deus Ex Machina moment with the crystals reviving everything, Kefka's death somehow gives the planet its will to live back, VII has its ambiguous ending but ruins it with its teaser ending showing XIII alive and well allowing most fans to speculate that everyone survived, VIII's ending is pretty much Disney "happily ever after" unless you're one of the few who somehow missed the fact that Squall is alive and well and the happy go lucky ending is just irony on the writer's part. IX tried to go for a bittersweet ending but chickened out and once again, Zidane overshadows the fact that Vivi is a better and more interesting character.

X finally does what Square had been skirting with for ages and released an FF with a tragic ending, not since smurfing FFI had an FF giving the player a "smurf you ending". Though I have issues with the ending in terms of emotion, the whole scene of Tidus disappearing was well made and and the music was surprisingly fitting for the moment. Its a shame X-2 wreaked all this as I felt X's ending was one of the more defining moments in the game.
