You could, though sadly I'm more happy with P3 than I was with XII.Originally Posted by champagne supernova
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...
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.
