Thread: ffx the shortest experience?

  1. #1

    Unhappy ffx the shortest experience?

    Well, I must say that to me the end of ffx came suddenly, like before I could really realize that I was going against the final boss. The game is good, good storyline and everything else but it was just too short as a final fantasy experience, does anyone think so?
    I think the difference of not being able to travel or fool around the world map had a big impact and in a way took away a huge amount of element that makes the ff series what it is, at least to me...

    any opinion??

    It is actually a huge game if you try to get all Aeons and all special weapons for your characters. After you get inside Sin go back to the ship and you will be allowed to go anywhere an explore. There's tons to do!

    Exactly.With the characters legendary weapons,the secret aeons and all....there's a ton to do in that game.
    I must have spent 100+ hours on FFX.

    X is one of the shortest of the series with some of the fewest sidequests, perhaps thats why they made X-2, so it wouldnt look so bad in comparison.

    renmiri was right. if u just play thruogh the game then yeh, it is the shortest one going. but there's so much secret stuff (celestial weapon, blitzball, dark aeons, penance, omega dungeon, monster arena, getting 255 on all stats) i could go on.

    It was short for me also. I love the FF series because there is 4 disks and I know the PS2 versions only need 1 disk for space, but thats why I loved waiting for the "Please Insert Disk whatever" screen. FFX was very short.

    I know otheres have already pointed this out, but Final Fantasy X is full of secret areas and other challanges, in fact most of the game is full of secrets. But I do think that it is also quite a long game if you go straight though the game, it may not be as long as other Final Fantasy games, but it is certainly a great game with some memorable moments!

    Yeah, it was definitely one of the shortest. I'm replaying it now and I only have 30 hours, and I'm at Zanarkand. If I subtract all the hours I dedicated to training at Bevelle and Mi'Hen Highroad, I would easily beat this game in less than 24 hours playing time. In actuality, it would be quite easy to beat this game in a day anyway, not playing time. Oh well, cool game all the same.

    its not the shortest but the storyline isnt as interesting as in others like FF9 which is why it feela a bit less of a final fantasy experience but it still is very long and just not as good an FF like some of the others.

    it was short, but it was by far the best storyline and i got really emotionally drawn to it, which may explain my crying every time i see the ending

    IMO if you complete the game in as little as 30 hours, there really wasnt much point in playing!!! you need the full experience, the point of any ff is to unravel its secrets, beat its biggest bosses, obtain the most powerful weapons and be smug as hell when you complete the mini games!!!

    ITS A JOURNEY NOT A DESTINATION!!!
