How is the main character being a dream, ur mentor being dead, and the main character's father being the demon that brings terror into the world is part of the "everyday" plot twist gegroup? i knew auron was dead bcuz of seymour's "y ar u still here?sorri, we guado have a keen sense of the farplane." but the other 2?i didn't know that sin was jecht until that luca scene, and tidus being a dream confused me 4 awhile so that i had to "think about it" and the war what really happend.
aeris and sephiroth being a cetra i saw from a mile ahead. isn't there a huge scene about both of them?cloud was foreshadowed many times. i haven't played ffvii in a LONG time, but a scene in cosmo canyon with tifa that hinted that somehtng with cloud was up. what about in ffx about yu yevon wanting revenge for the destruction of bevelle?that wasn't a plot twist?what about yuna being half-al bhed, which is the reason 4 her being moved to besaid in fear of the yevon church in bevelle. that was a plot twist. i didn't notice one eye was blue and the other green until someone pointed it out.
yes, ffx moved very fluidly such as a movi, and didn't allow for much decision-making. but as i said in a previous post is, ffx has a very intricate plot web, instead of the "this is what happens". in the plot web, you don't really understand what’s going on and are allows your imagination to run wild with guesses until what really happens is said. and that's why square was allowed to make a sequel, no matter how horrible it was. the reason why square was able to make x-2 is bcuz with the plot web, you can add things where u desire. but with other ff's, like ffvii (im not picking on it, i luv the game), but you can only add things in the beginning or the end (before crisis and advent children) because of the "this is what happens" format.
in terms of being "spoon-fed". i disagree.in past ff's, there's more of a sense of waiting for more info to be revealed than trying to fill in the missing pieces of the plot. so i would say ffx has more of a sense of pure "contemplation".
Basically, my main point being is what I’ve stated in the past posts. In no way is ffx the best. But it’s a lot more detailed and complex than what you first see. I’m just trying to get ppl 2 understand it does deserve to be in the same standard set by ffvi and vii in terms of greatness. All three just have different types of greatness. It’s just that, with vi and vii, it’s greatness is out in the open. You KNOW of their greatness. But with x, it’s a little bit hidden.
