I definitely can be considered an old-school gamer. Every once in a while I love to fire up a real old ass game to get my fix. The past 2 weeks I've been playing Uncharted Waters: New Horizons and the original Breath of Fire.... ah such goodness...
I love FFX. I think it's a great game and probably my favorite of the FF series. It is indeed flawed but it brought some things to the series that I liked. I shall first list those things which I liked: #1 Turn based battle system: As an old school gamer... this suits me well. Dragon Quest, Breath of Fire, Suikoden, FF1.. you name it... they were all turn based. #2 The ability to switch out characters without major penalty: I hate it when I play a game and there are characters I really like but never really use. Sometimes I just don't get much time in for them. Being able to swap characters on the fly was really nice and hasn't been done in many games. #3 Everyone has a role (except poor Kimahri...): Flying monster? Calll Wakka! Heavy armor... Auron. You played the game, you get the point. For a majority of the game, all these players had their unique roles in combat. #4 Beautifully simplistic storyline: Ever notice a trend in FF games? Often you begin the game thinking the bad guy is one person and then you find out that really it's someone else in the end pulling the strings. For FFX, it's pretty much just Sin (though this is somewhat arguable). You know your enemy from the first few minutes of the game and you pursue them to the very end. There's something intriguing about that... but considering all that I liked... there's the flaws... #1 Worst Voice Acting Ever: The laughing scene makes me hit the mute button everytime. I hate Rikku. Yuna always sounds like she's out of breath. Lulu, Kimahri, and Auron were okay. I have mixed feelings towards Tidus's actor. It would've been nice to have the option to switch to japanese voices instead. #2 A bit too easy: I liked the strategic "feel" of the game but sometimes it was way too easy #3 The minigames were pure evil: I hated the Choco race. The lightning bolts made me pull my hair out. I like minigames that are fun. Blitzball was okay... I know many people hate it though. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
