Things That Annoy You About FFX

Ride ze shoopuf?

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I was annoyed trying to dodge the 8 trillion lightning bolts in the thunder plains just to get the prize in the chest at the al bhed shop. You have to start all over again if you get hit by one.

I'll pass.

Also, the chocobo challenge in the calm lands.

[Medi]

Gah, yeah, I can only ever get to about 12 seconds on the Chocobo race. Dammitalltothefarplane.

I also hate blitzball. I always fail miserably.

[BG-57]

Tidus with a megaphone.

And I prefered Rikku in the goggles and jumpsuit.

[Depression Moon]

the laugh scene at Luca

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.

Come on you can't dis the best thing in all of FF history. At least you're Not Alone made you look over you shoulder to make sure nobody was watching you play it. I agree about it not being cut because there's no other video game that makes me feel like that.

I forgot you couldn't skip cutscenes now that i remember. I had to watch nearly all of Seymour's entrance at Mt. Gagazet at least seven times.

The screenshot of the scene below was kind of pointless.



Also, I have done that Chocobo race with a 0:00:00 time with no real difficulty.

[Cyric]

#1 Not being able to play FFX-International without an emulator.
#2 The 200 Lightning Dodges
#3 Finishing the Chocobo Race with 0:00:00 (no, I have never been able to do it)

[Fuzakeru]

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.

Thank you! I loved this scene. If someone didn't know what was going on then I'm sure they'd watch the scene and go, "What the hell... is this poor acting or poor writing?" but knowing what we do when we play this part... well, I found it powerful.

[G13]

I did the 0:00:03 Chocobo race. Cool stuff.

???

[Vice Nebulosa]

Wakka.





And, if those two syllables did not speak sufficiently for themselves, the fact that he hurls that freaking ball of his underwater in hopes of dealing some kind of damage. "Magical Blitzball designed to ignore physics", my ass; the man irritates me, and I will be damned if I am allocating any suspension of disbelief to him.

And also, I cannot imagine that it was necessary to have Lady Yunalesca's character design so closely resemble that of an unusually forthright stripper. I can understand the desire to create a contrast between the "beauty" of her fleshly disguise and the hideous creature she is to become, but to reference her nudity so crudely as with a frigging thong entirely butchers any possibility that her prophetic words might carry some dignity. If her design was intended to contrast the demure Yuna, as well, there were better ways to handle it. Some sort of gossamer-thin and flowing apparel could have maintained a provocative air without dragging the woman into the gutter. Or perhaps a sarong of some kind, if we are still unwilling to let go of the cleavage. Even Shiva was not so obviously a sexual object for the benefit of a young male audience; Shiva had a certain grace, damn it.

[Vermachtnis]

Ride ze shoopuf?

Wait, which part annoyed you? The Hypello, the shoopuf, or that next boss battle? Cause the Hypello speak is awesome! But the shoopuf design got on my nerves too. It was ugly.

I hate the laughing scene too. Not the scene itself, but because my friend would not shut up about it.

[Namelessfengir]

the fact that Rikku is always wearing clothes.

this

the blantent racism.... the al bhed are cool damn people, they're subjugated because they got the balls to figure that religious doctrine is crap

[The Space Pope]

So much to choose from.

The disneyesque dialogue

The fact that the game felt so confined and linear; it felt like more of a charter bus tour than anything is the only way I can describe this. You go to an area, do stuff, and never really have much of a reason to come back afterward except for capturing monsters.

Tidus, Rikku, and WAKKA. Ya? Ya? Ya? YayayayaSHUTUPALREADY

How about I just put the things that didn't annoy me.
-The battle system
-Most of the music
-Auron
-Jecht
-Blitzball

[Shattered Dreamer]

2 things really bothered me about this game:

1.Its too damn linear! If when your doing sidequests your moving backwards or forwards on the same straight line!

2. The game takes a huge dig at organised religion. The fact that everyone believed in Yevon so blindly & that summoners beating Sin with the Final Aeon is only way everyone can be happy turning out to be a crock of $h1t. Now I'm not exactly a defender of organised religion but come on 90% of people criticize religion in some way, shape or form. Video games shouldn't bother.

Apart from these 2 points I loved this game

But...but...every self-respecting RPG must criticize organized religion!
