7.5
Customization (which is very important to me, how much how much do I feel I can customize my characters, is it a matter of character A learns following abilities, or do I have a lot of choice in the matter. Can I easily customize or does it take harder to get items/more time)
5
Characters (self-explanatory)
6
World/Environment (Do I like the areas. Are the towns pretty/engaging/interesting?)
8
Story (How much does the story interest me. Am I eager to keep playing because I want to see what happens next? If they took the story and made it a book, took out all the gameplay elements, would I read it?)
7
That gives a total score of
33.5/50. Not a bad game
Now to compare, here would be my rating of Final Fantasy IX:
Gameplay: 8
Customization: 4
Characters: 9.5
World/Environment: 9.5
Story: 9.9
Total: 40.9
To me, if I were to rate all of the Final Fantasy games I've played, FFIX would be the best one. But everyone's tastes are different and they wouldn't give the same scores as I would because it is opinion. I just proved that to me, FFX is not the best Final Fantasy because based on the system I have to rate the games based on my preferences, IX is better.
