Yeah really, why so many X haters? o_O I liked that game...i seriously disagree with skillzboy4 about the storyline, i thought it was crap, but X was fun to play. IX is personally my favorite ever, not the most innovative plot but it was a charming game and brought back the whole fantasy feel the series lost with VII. But X-2 was complete and utter crappage, its a disgrace to the series. As for XII...i'm actually disappointed with it. I dont like the licence board thingy too much, i hate buying magic/techniques, the music disappoints.....i effing LOVE the storyline...but thats not gonna save the game if i get so pissed off i throw down the controller every 10 minutes...XIII looks waaaay too futuristic, almost like something from Xenogears or whatever. And they should go back to the old way of leveling and crap, wtf was wrong with it? I dont like this enormous blending of RPG and Action systems...
