Old School Gamers: Your opinion of FFX?

I was wondering what the opinion of Final Fantasy 10 is of old school gamers like me. People that love the 2d's a lot more on average compared to the 3d FF games -- perhaps, people that find more 2d games on their favorite lists.

I didn't get too far on it a long time ago and I felt that it had too much storyline and not enough play. It has been 4 years and I'm at a point that I might start it again.

I am counting on the opinion of people that are more like me so I can understand what they think about the game. It's obviously fine if you consider yourself old school but still like FF10. It's all open to opinion now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Can you name some of those things?

My old, old 2002 memory of FFX was... 10 minutes of time of watching scenes and 5 minutes of gameplay. Totally bad ratio there...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm not arguing for or against something.

Way past the beginning I felt like I was seeing too many Tidus & Yuna scenes and far less gameplay. But it's been a long time and I'm thinking of giving it a 2nd chance. I just came here to find opinion & info on the game.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Throw it in the trash. Watching every possible malady befall the disc would be more worth the price of paying for the game than actually playing the game itself.

Any variation of the word "trash" applies. Quite literally, it is garbage.

When you are told at the beginning of the game that "FIRE MAGIC WORKS ON ICE FIENDS" you feel an overwhelming punch in the gut, almost insulting to the point of death. The sphere grid was the most ridiculous piece of work I've ever seen. The "battle system" was flawed to the point where no battle could be lost (AEON SACRIFICE FTL) at all, without even going through and mentioning the shitty tag system. English VA sucked. The story was bland and forgettable, much like the cast of the game. The mini-games were shitty. There is one good thing I will say about the game though.

It brought about FFX-2, which is what the first game should have just been to begin with. That is all.

That last sentance.... amazing. I know zero about FFX-2. I know a bunch of things about X, at least. But knowing nothing about X-2, is it really good? Explain if you can - or if anyone else wants to.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I heard from a friend of mine who considers FF10 his favorite and FF4 his second favorite that X-2 is complete garbage.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Fasinating. Another old schooler who clearly likes the best game ever made (FF4) and likes the DW series, the best RPG series ever made likes FFX-2's battle system. Again, amazing. I must know..... what is the battle system of X-2??? Hell, I might like that damn game!!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
