FFX was my favorite until FFXIII became my favorite.


Being able to choose your characters before the point where they all meet up would sort of...undo the story wouldn't it? I mean they're all separated until halfway through the game. I can certainly see why it would annoy people on a second playthrough, but I didn't mind it. There was never much variety to the way I selected my party and paradigms after I was given total control. Lightning (replaced by Fang post-game), Hope, and Vanille could cover most situations that didn't require a Sentinel.
