I loved the story line for ffx but i think it was a bit to dark and did not involve the final boss enough. I mean it gets mentioned once and then practicly forgotton then to appear suddenly on your screen. I didn't think the story line was the best because it did not unfold til' the end. Also I think the last boss should have been made possibe to lose against because I don't know whether it happens on all games but auto-life was automatically cast and when i couldn't defeat the boss coz i wasn't powerful enough I had to switch of the game because every time I attacked this boss with 8999 damaged he cured himself with 9999. I want to know what you thought of the story line and what is your best game. Reply....please!

It was ok, i thought. It wasn't as good as 7,8, or 9's story, but it was ok. It had its ups and downs.

I agree
I'm glad someone agrees with me. All my mates say 10 is the best. I wasn't that keen 8 but 7 was OK. I really liked 9.

I didn't want Tidus to (SPOILER) disappear at the end. I REALLY wanted him & Yuna to be together. Yeah I know they become united in FFX-2 but I don't really like sequels. I prefer happy endings in a game rather than having to wait for part 2 of a game. I also didn't want Auron to go away. He was GREAT!

I found the mix of politics, religion and fundamentalism to make for a very good story.

I thought it was a great story line. Can't really say my fav cause I guess it would be a spoiler, but the story line in general was pretty tight. Although your right nothing really happend till the middle of the game tward the end.

FFX's storyline > many other stories. This ranks as one of the best storylines for a Square Enix game, IMO. Not the best, but definitely a great one. Anything involving the corruption of higher forces and meditating upon the matter is more than worthwhile.

I liked the storyline, but there were a few things that i didnt think got answered in full. First, how does Jecht get to Spira to be Braskas guardian in the first place? Second, if teh Zanarkand that Tidus and Jecht are from is a dream of the fayth, how does Sin just show up and commence to whoopin on everything? There are more things that i dont understand but i will leave it at this for now.

The plot had a bit of plotholes, not to mention the evil badguys I didn't even really care much about and never felt like I needed to really stop them. And the way it seemed, that even if the ultimate evil goes on, life won't change drastically ever, it seems to me just like everything would be the same with a small side of destruction and death on the side. So there never seemed to be much reason to stop the bad guy cause as he was he wasn't all that deadly as bad guys from the past who actually threatened all life rather then just being a nussicance like Godzilla.
I also disliked how not all the charcters got too involved with the plot outside of Yuna, Tidus, and Auron with the others popping in every now and then. Not to mention Cid never really got into the game that much either beyond a little bit of speaking and such.
The over all plot was fairly decent, but definatly not better then previous ones in my opinion.

Spira's history and culture was well developed, possibly the best-realised FF world since FFVII.[q=PaladinCecil]there were a few things that i didnt think got answered in full. First, how does Jecht get to Spira to be Braskas guardian in the first place? Second, if teh Zanarkand that Tidus and Jecht are from is a dream of the fayth, how does Sin just show up and commence to whoopin on everything?[/q]As in FFVII, there are answers to these questions, but they're quite well hidden. Sin can cross into Dream Zanarkand because both DZ and Sin are creations summoned by Yu Yevon. Fayths provide the 'dream', the Summoner makes that dream spirit become reality, sort of. Likewise, even though they're merely dreams, Tidus and Jecht became real because of the summoning process. They crossed from the dream world into the real world, becoming corporeal just like an Aeon.Originally posted by Nova Dragon

The fayth in Kilika Temple said that Jecht became real by touching Sin. And so, when Tidus touched Sin, he too became real.Originally posted by Big D

Ah, good point. Jecht probably helped Tidus to become real, too. Late in the game, Auron says to Tidus that "Jecht wanted you to have a shot at life." Jecht knew that Tidus might be able to help defeat Sin, freeing him from Yu Yevon's possession, freeing Spira from its eternal spiral of death, and freeing the Fayths that've been trapped and dreaming for a millennium.

The good was the dark theme and the political religious thing. Also the charecters were pretty well developed.
The bad was that especially noticeable on replay was that it seemed to follow Wizard of Oz. Things like how tidus and dorothy both fell out of the sky. You had a dummy a hearless guy and a coward along with you and without a world map you could pretty much follow the "yellow brick road" or in this case -- the big red arrow. There is one other point where they seem to meet up, but I'd end up spoiling both.
