Surely these topics were done to death in the last year but I figured why not make new one again since we have now HD remaster so many people revisited the game and many people played it for first time recently.
Basically what do you think the game does good and what isn't so awesome.
I'll start.
The good:
Storyline - Surely many of the earlier games had much bigger worlds and broader stories, but I really enjoyed FFX's story and I didn't mind it's simplicity.
Battle system - I have nothing against the old ATB but I just crave toying around with turn based systems where I can see who has next turn and I can actually manipulate it. This really sticks out when playing NSG games. That leads me to...
Level up system - For many, not having the classic level up system was a turn in the wrong way but I personally really enjoy the fact I can actually make the characters the way I want them instead of being set in a straight line.
Villian - Okay let me elaborate a bit on this. The villian of the Spira world is basically Sin and within him the subconsciously summoning Yu Yevon. They aren't like the villians in previous games where there actually was some kind of mastermind that wanted to destroy/rule/etc. the whole world like Kefka/Sephiroth/Ultimecia/Kuja to name a few.
The Sin isn't really malevolent and evil but it's just causing ruckus based on instincts and yet he's the one you must beat. Not to really save the world, the Sin was around for 1000 years, it's purpose isn't to end all life. You just want to give people peace. Okay I am bad at this, I am sure this is confused but I kinda hope you will understand what I mean.
Of course there is Seymour who acts as a villian to the main party and his intentions are pretty much the same as those of older game villians but he is really just supporting villian.
The rotten religion - This is really a part of the storyline but I just really enjoyed the motif.
Aeons - Simple. I love using aeons as normal characters.
The bad:
Linear world - while I didn't mind the linearity of the game, it's really just one path with few crossroads there and there. It would've been better if there was a little more to explore.
Tidus name - I personally think it was wrong to give players option of naming just Tidus making it so that he cannot be really called with name in the voice acting and X-2. Either let us change everyone's name or keep it to just Aeons.
Voice acting - again, this didn't really bother me as much and I think it was definitely a step in the right way but I do agree that most of the voice acting isn't really top notch.
Well that's probably all from me. So what about you?
