Anyway...
I feel I may have skimmed on the line in a recent post so I will abide by my rules and post something nice about FFX...
Though I am not fond of the the final product, I must say it was bold for Square to move away from a traditional medieval style swords and sorcery and move onto something more Asian. I have always been fond of the ocean and sea and have noticed I tend to be very fond of games with an oceanic theme. The villages of Besaid and Kilika are no different and are easily my favorite location in the title. I feel the Ocean theme X was a nice change of pace and allowed for an intriguing new art direction.
Even the imagery of Tidus' Brotherhood sword was rather enchanting in the early days before the titles release. The Brotherhood still remains my favorite weapon in the game and its Tidus main weapon throughout the title.
I also liked the implementation of underwater parts and I felt the design of these moments were not only realistic but generally fun due to a limited party selection and general change in strategy.
Overall, I have always been drawn to water for its symbolism and imagery.
