Dislike this but liked X?

The gameplay in FFXIII didn't seem half assed to me in the least, it feels like they wanted to create something new and great. I don't think it is all that great (not bad, but not great either), but it is the one thing in the game that I fee they put some heart into.

I kind of balled the characters from FFX into the 'story' bit that I hated. I didn't want to make the post too detailed

I understand other people didn't have as much trouble dealing with the two lead characters in FFX and thus found the game much more enjoyable. Good for them.

Ditto.

I don't see it but he's entitled I guess...

I feel that way about FFXII btw...

I haven't played FFXIII.and may not be able to for a while.

The reviews I have read aren't good and the flaws thread seems filled up these days.Rotfl...
Couple that with the admissions from Square that they decided not to do certain things that we have come to expect in an rpg because of developemental issues and it doesn't inspire confidence in the game.

Do we have confidence that Verses will be better. We can only hope that it is...

My dislike of FFX is for specific reasons. I still own the game and still played through it and still enjoyed a lot of parts of it. If there were different lead characters I think I would have genuinely enjoyed almost all of the game.

Well, for me, gameplay means the things you can do in the game - and if anything let FFXIII down more than anything else for me, it's most certainly the lack of different things to do (ie, sidequests). Everything is battle, and only battle. While what you could do was great, I found the things that you couldn't do let it down.

>>> Surpass FFX is near impossible in my opinion, there were to many things that I liked in that game, Sphere grid, Conditional Turn-Based Battle, the best FF soundtrack, awesome story, weapon costumization, etc.. That said I doubt FF13 is in the same league as FFX..

I guess that was fairly hypocritical of me to just lump story and characters into one basket and consider only battles in the gameplay basket

[skillzboy4]

i definitely agree with black orb.. final fantasy XIII was enjoyable but no where near on the level with final fantasy X.. FF X was nearly a perfect game.. and its saddening that we won't ever experience another game like FFX

X is my least favorite modern FF

Modern means after FFVII.

X´s story was very mistygoddleblog and very Zelda like.

The sphere grid looked like a big labyrinth.
It made the game look more like a strategy game than an rpg.
The battle system was very slow paced unlike FFXIII were it was also cool to watch.
And....

I hate blitzball
