I liked the story behind FFX but there was alot of the game that bothered me... like not being able to travel on the map, Why bother having a ship if you can't get mindlessly lost on the map and hear yourself saying *wtf? Where was I going again? Oh yeah.. that place with the mountains... wait... North or east?* I liked the Godzilla effect in all the other FF :/ I missed it in this one. Nothing like an overgrown character sneaking up and being 10 times bigger than the town! *ROAR! I AM SQUALL!* xD ahhh how entertaining. The way the story developped barely left anyroom to go see anything or do anything else but keep going with the story until you got the darn airship :/

Sure the game was fcool, the story was tragic, I even shed a tear at the end, but man, it was short until you got into the side quests.

The battle system rocked! The grid was a neat way to level up and the characters didn;t disapoint, although I am sure Tidus was less annoying in Japanese.

I was glad that FFX-2 came out, it was super fun and the ending was very satisfying, unlike X where I wanted to write evil mean letters to the story writers of S-E, plotting imagiary consequences that were possibly painful. xD *end rant*
