A friend of mine once told me that he didn't like the final fantasy series because he hated having to play the game just to see the amazing animation sequences...

I understood his arguement but felt that he hadn't played enough FF to make that judgement... as we FF fanatics know there is so much more to this series than the animation... I cant remember how many times I've played IV and VI all the way through... or how much time I spent playing the VII mini-games or VIII's triple triad...

But Final Fantasy X just plan sucked... So many times in that game I was just holding the controller and watching the animation sequences... which held not interest to me... the story was not at all engaging...

It was FFX and Metal Gear Solid 2 (another lame game) that made me realize that I had no interest in console gaming any longer... the AI was to easy to fool... Since giving my PS2 to a friend for a large bag of green I have been playing online player versus player games exclusively... first star wars galaxies and now guild wars... I haven't had a chance to play XI the online game but from what I understand there isn't any real pvp in that game... and with XII on the horizon I really cant say what I am going to do...

The Final Fantasy series has afforded me years of gaming pleasure... but FFX really made me tune out... that game blew... I want to keep on living in a fantastic world full of dragoons and chocobos but I want to PLAY in this world rather than watch it...

Am I the only one that feels this way?
