most FF games are a test of skill knowing what to do, before you do it. But FFX is more about stratagy, planing what you need to do, and preperation, i dunno bout others, but i like the fact that you get to have a good think about tour moves before you make em. Also it requires paictience if you wanna complette it to the fullest extent. I really think that square just wanted to do sumfink different and see how people reacted.
