First Impressions of Final Fantasy X

[phoenix_noway]

final fantasy X is my third FF game i supposed
my first impression is "dude, sounds and voice acting really makes a difference!"
well gotta say the japanese trailer had drew my attention already although i had no idea what it was saying but the excitment had kept me high. until the english verison came out it was totally cool. i guess it had the best music and vocal ever because it;s the first FF game had voice actor, which made the story, no matter the intro and ending can have more space to explore. the past FFs had a limited story on FMVs because there aint no conversation. as a result the voice acting had outstanded the game which brought them some extra points.

I believe it's a very good game, with one of the best (if not the best and most original) story of all the FFs, with a teary ending to boot. I've even known friends who aren't into FFs or RPGs in general, and have played this and enjoyed it, it must be doing something right. I've played it awhile, but it hasn't really caught my interest to play it over again, other than to re-see the ending. An NSG challenge with Darkkefka's videos as a guide may change that, however...

And, you know, Auron.

Edit: Surprisingly, Tida's VA doesn't annoy me that much anymore. Lunar must be rejoicing.

My first impression was Tidus and Rikkuand Lulu's magic and her and her dolls and tidus and rikku weaponand the aeons

Hmm...this was an interesting post.

Anyway, like Rocket Edge, I built up to much hype around it and was pretty disappointed in the beginning. I mean, I was still amazed at the quality and the capabilities of the PS2. However, as I continued to play it, I became deeply immersed and engrossed in it. Like, on the level of forgetting to eat and sleep. I still feel the story is inferior when compared to some of the other games (and I abhor Tidus' VA above anything else), but despite these setbacks, I still view it as my favorite FF.

I thought this game wasnt very good because I had been into Final Fantasy V, VI, and VII. I never got to play VIII because Gamestop freakin sucks monkey balls and the discs were all scratched up.

I had only gotten to the part with the Sinspawn Gui and could not get to beat that monster. But once I finished the other games I was working on, including SCCT:mog: , I started to play X again. I went through the story again thinking it was awesome and what not but i thought it was a hard game because of how you leveled up with the sphere grid and what not, so i could not get anywhere because i sucked.

The first time i played I thought the graphics and music and the voice acting was great but i thought the sphere grid sucked and got past the easy parts up until the al bhed and there i idea to kill sin by luring him there with the sinspawn, i could not pass that boss. So i started over later and i got to the mi'hen highroad and i could not get past that...so yet again i stopped, to play FF 1 and 2 , So I started again after i had passed the seventh grade....tis i started threee days ago, and i understood the sphere grid this time and i got into the game and i got second level magic and what not and i slaughtered the sinspaw gui and what not and i really got into and loved the story i thought it was the best and the voice acting did add a lot to the game, i have not finished it yet i am just not on the thunder plains, about to exit, at the last save sphere on the plains and i just love the game, i have to go to church camp tomorrow morning but as soon as i get back i wont stop until i have beat the game 100% with all of the legendary weapons and sigils and jecht spheres and what not. Everything and anything and all fiends shall fall before me or be captured....lol :mog:

Peace out,

Since I was already a big fan of Final Fantasy. At first I thought it wasn't going to be that good. Since FFVIII was the first one I played and it is still my favorite. I was really impressed with the graphics and I thought it was wonderful to actually here the damn voices. The story line is wonderful and It was alittle confusing until I read more about it. So I know the full story and I think it is great for everyone to play FFX-2 if they want to know more about X.

My first impressions of Final Fantasy X? Amazing, simply amazing. At the time, I had only played a few Final Fantasy games, but this was by far my favorite. I was quite new to Final Fantasy so I hadn't really completed any of them before, but when I played on Final Fantasy X, it persuaded me to buy some of the previous Final Fantasy games.

Even today, Final Fantasy X is my favorite video game. Although it may be quite dated and the graphics may not be up to scratch, but that doesn't matter to me, because I love playing Final Fantasy X, it's just great!
