Why does everyone think FFX sucked so badly?

[Angelroo]

All over the internet I've heard MANY people bash FFX, my favorite game. "The story sucks, the characters are bad, it's too linear, boring."etc. I just don't get it, as that was not my experience with the game at all, and whenever I try to defend my opinion people always say that the old school ff's were better, and that ffx lovers are stupid and only care about graphics...

While I like the old ff's alot, I don't see how X was so much worse. Or the story or characters were shallow and uncomplicated...I thought the story was great. SO why do so many people think FFX sucked!? I need to know!! >:O

[Levian]

Everyone doesn't think FFX sucks.

[Yuffie514]

i liked Final Fantasy X. why the 21st century is so complicated because there is always someone there to talk trash about something.

[Zeromus_X]

Are you sure you aren't talking about it's "sequel"? Because that's definitely a possiblity.

Anyway, I don't know anyone could hate X. It wasn't the best game, but far from the worst. I don't understand how these people hate things they probably know nothing about, but whatever.

[Leen-Leen]

Really? I haven't heard many people talk about how bad it was, but there were a few. But not a lot, from what I've seen at least.

FFX is awesome, one of the best FF's ive played!! but yeh, alot of people werent too thrilled about the sequel...

[Angelroo]

well, ok not EVERYONE hated it, but a fair number from what I've seen (definately more its sequel though). And yeah, I have no idea how anyone could ever hate, it but alas there are some...I just wanna know why some people didn't like it.

Yes, X was good but X2 is a different story.
X was goooood.

For the most part, people love the game. Majority is the best you can hope for. Especially with Final Fantasy, which is a victim of its own fame. People already hate XII and XIII and they aren't even out yet, so you have to expect people who act like X destroyed their world and spiraled them into insanity. But majority loves it, so that's good enough.

I love FFX. It's my favorite FF. Well FFX and VII are my favorites. Infact FFX and VII are my favorite video games of all time. I don't see anything wrong.

[Old Manus]

You're mixing things up with FFX-2, my friend

[ekinserge]

well, other people have other opinion...

it's normal...

FFX is a great game...i love FFX...

and this chart proves it...

Nice English there, buddy.

[Mirage]

Yeah, Kupo, it is.

And showing a list over magazine scores as "proof" was a good one. :P

[Arkada]

I beleve that the people that are just starting to play the Final Fantasy Series says it sucks. Not everyone mind but thats where I think the majority of the hate is commin from.

But what I really don't get is the people who say that they hate X-2, I really don't know whats wrong with them, That game was really good.

mabye its because it broke the Final Fantasy tradition but we may never know.
