Old School Gamers: Your opinion of FFX?

I actually enjoyed FFX. This being said from someone who adores FFVI, Suikoden II, and the 2-D game likes. It was one of the first games I bought for PS2. I remember the day it came out, I went to Target to get it simply because I thought the graphics and ads were just so pretty. And it didn't let down. I thought the PS2 graphic capabilities were amazing just from that one game. I know I'm probably ranting over the graphics too much, but that made the game what it is. For the first FF on PS2, you are expecting a lot, and Square delivered.

The story and characters were good. Of course, there are the usual "I HATE THEM" characters, like Wakka or Kimahri, but there's the badassness of Auron that made up for them. Even the ending got to me, in a FFVIII-ish way. I don't think anyone could expect another FFVI in this era, which is sad. But I still think FFX is a good game to start off a new gen RPG player with. The story had me guessing a few times. I liked it.

And FFX-2... let's not go there. It's an excuse for fanboys to buy more eye candy.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
