Things That Annoy You About FFX
Did anyone else think that Yuna and Rikku as cousins was kind of pointless? I thought it was annoying because it didn't add anything to the plot and was just a dumb, soap opera-like detail.
And it also annoyed me how Auron always wore that stupid sling thing. Did they ever explain why he wore it (if so, I guess I wasn't paying attention to that parrt~).
SO, what annoyed you all about FFX!?
It's part of the ronin style of wearing things, to symbolize the loss of a master. As for his arm that remains concealed, that is likely to be a war injury from confronting Yunalesca again. He takes it out when he's ready to bust nuts.Originally Posted by Dynast-Kid
So, yes, they explained it, in the course right after JPN283. JPN331, I believe?
Getting the last 2 Wings to Discovery for my armor. I just kept getting dark matter like 6 or 7 battles in a row, even though I had already gotten 99 and made all the ultimate weapons I needed. (Yeah, I know, lots and lots of farming, but what else is there to do? 500 hours+ isn't that much, though. I just wish I had gotten international version.)
Well having rikku being yuna's cousin is what lead to the whole HOME part of the story and Cid.
For me which I'm surprised isn't everyone's, is the laugh scene at Luca and that part at the Farplane when Tidus is talking to Yuna and when Yuna replies "Oh, I'm sorry," her mouth doesn't move at all.
To above 500hrs is a hell of a lot for one playthrough. I didn't even have that much for XII which has a ton more sidequests.
Tav's right about the arm thing. It probably wouldn't have annoyed you if you knew that.
The only thing I found annoying about X was Tidus' lines. Don't get me wrong, Tidus is okay, but some of the stuff he says are ridiculous.
"Aye", he sounded like one of them seagulls from Finding Nemo!
"This is my story!" Talk about narcissism.
The scene where him and Yuna start laughing when they're leaving Luca. I've never been so embarrassed for a fictional character in my life.
I still defend the laughing scene.
I liked the scene. They're two teenagers stuck in very uncomfortable positions. Tidus, facing the reality that he'd never make it back to his home, and Yuna, facing her death when she summons the Final Aeon. Each is contemplating the end of all they've known, and neither really knows that the other is in the same situation at this point. The scene is uncomfortable and full of nervous energy, and the laugh is their way of releasing it. It sounds forced and unnatural because it was, and it was supposed to be. I thought it was quite well executed and fit perfectly with the characters and the situations they were in. And then we get to everyone else staring at them and calling them nuts, and that fit too. This sort of thing is one of the things I like about X's characters, and, while the scene may be awkward as hell, I wouldn't want it removed.
The "this is my story" was a bit self-centered. Everyone supports and helps him the entire way and he just goes "tough, this is all about me now".
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
Enemies that are JUST out of reach of being defeatable in challenges.
Ironclad in NSG (without aeons) is a perfect example. A /very/ slight reduction to his strength, or vunerability to either Power Break or Slow (not both, just one of them would be enough) would make him possible.
Apart from that, the laughing scene, general inability to skip cutscenes, and the fact that Rikku is always wearing clothes.
That scene is hilarious. It's basically Tidus trying so hard to say "F U" to the whole "Smile all the way!" attitude to which he's currently in no mood to adhere that he ends up making an ass of himself doing so. Yuna gets what he's doing and joins in. I just explained that even more easily than that retarded "You're Not Alone!" scene from FFIX and yet everyone continues to defend that awful crap and trash this.
Internal monologue version:
Tidus: "Laugh? What? I just had the biggest bombshell dropped on my life, I hate my very existence at this minute and you want me to smurfing laugh? Fine, I'll show you some bloody laughter. Get a load of this. This'll make sure you never try and patronize me like that again!"
Christ, I bet you assholes slagged off the fight choreography in Team America too.
Anyway.
The cutscenes. If they were in any way skippable I would've played the game more than once.

Ridiculus mini-game sidequests.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
THE DAMN CHOCOBOS!!!!
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE DAMN IT!!
I TRIED I REALLY REALLY TRIED!!!!
that stupid race thing made me almost destroy people and there lives!!!
i agree with the Chocobo thing, i mean after the excelent Chocobo Races in VII, they decide to stick Tidus on the most stupid & unresponsive Chocobo that any character has ever had the misfortune of having to ride in the entire FF Universe... i kow it's supposed to be a little difficult to get Ultimate Weapons, but come on, this is absurd... maybe like only 10% of the population (that has ever played and beat this game) has ever done this without using some kind of cheat device, and maybe 5% of those have lied about not using one...
*disclaimer: the x% used are not real but mearly a guestimation for emphasis*
The stupid Chocobo racing, yeah. I busted a controller because of it. :|

I did the 0:00:00 Chocobo race. I did it twice. The thing I kept telling myself (so as not to kill my entire family out of rage) was that sooner or later I'll get it.
