Rikku's first impressions...

[Rikku, the Al Bhed]

I gave Final Fantasy Twelve a try, I really did to see if I would like it...But more or less halfway through, I'm not impressed at all. Hiding a badly written story behind old english. Sorry, Square...You failed big time. Way too big of a change in my perspective. They really dropped the ball on this one...I can't believe that it took that long to release such a shoddy game. Seriously...

Plus, whoever said that Final Fantasy X, is shallow and has no emotion is, no offence, ignorant on all counts of that! Are you kidding?! May I remind you that the opening credits with the song To Zanarkand in the background, seeing the sadness on the characters faces, as the inevitable came their way! Also, with the voice acting, it was the first one with voice acting! I repeat, the first one! First time is always roughest, but if you haven't been paying attention, I heard some great performances by Matt Mckenzie as Auron. He made him sound like a guy who went through hell and back!

So excuse me, for getting pissed off about that!

Back to Twelve. Seriously, if you look at Square's previous endeavors, you would see that the story and or characters aren't that original. Plus, they're not all that interesting to me. I like characters who have character to begin with.

I really tried to like it, I really did. But when it comes to what makes me bond with a group of characters...This falls flat.
