The first time ever that you can do 99 999 damage!!!
I’d say the best thing about X are the graphics, but sadly those great graphics happens to be this games downfall.
…
The characters in general. They are all so unique.
The cutscenes!!! @_@ They are awesome!!!
And the dialogues are just great!
Tidus:"Sounds exactly like the stuff an old man would say!"
Auron: "Forgive me!"
"Lady Auron" π
1.) The characters were pretty standard for FF games. Nothing Special.
2.) Cutscenes take away from the game because that is just a lot less time that you are in control of the characters.
3.) Voice Acting SUCKED in that game because they put the emphasis on wrong words, they didn’t talk smoothly and they sounded like idiots.
4.) Lastly, I think the funnest(sort of best but sort of not) was fighting all the made monsters that the man at the Calm Lands makes for you. Maybe the best thing would have to be the awesome FMV’S.
The best thing in my view was the atmosphere. No other FF game had me this… oh, I dunno, fascinated, excited., worrying, moved.
and also on FF10 if you set the Aeons cut scenes to short it also cuts there overdrive short, so if you get Anima and give here 255 strength and do oblivion with her it totals the damage rathere than loads of individual attacks, she can doo over 500,000 damage so that kicks the 99,999 damage limit…
1) You can switch people out in battle
2) You can adjust equipment in battle
3) You can have more than 9,999 HP and 999 MP, which is fair as some sidquest enemies will be substantially powerful.
4) Trigger commands such as talking, using environment, etc. I liked the fact you can try something different in situations. Though I wish they would’ve done more with it.
Yes, the voice acting could be pretty cheesy at times, but it generally improved as the game advanced. Everything that came out of Wakka’s mouth sounded great from the start, and the vast majority of Auron’s dialog was spot-on as well.
The greatest moment in the game is still the Yunalesca fight though. Seriously, HOLYCRAP! π
X is my favorite in the series, with VI and VIII close behind. I still haven’t had time to play my copy of X-2 though. :/
And the story is not as empty as people claim. Sure, there were times when the characters may have irritated me, but in real life, no one is perfect. Everyone has their faults. And the characterisations for that story were good. Tidus WAS needed in the plot to give it solidity and a fresh outlook that resulted in the eventual change at the end of the game. Just as Yuna WAS needed for the determination to drive through that change.
Oh: Best thing about the game? Besides the emotional impact of said story, I reckon the switching of characters in battle. If someone was getting creamed, then at least you had the option to save them and put someone else in. Plus each character doing better damage on certain types of enemies was quite nice.
But the thing I liked most was not the plot or story itself but rather the emotion within it.;)
on another note Im currently playing xenosaga and gameplay is almost non-existant ya know alot of cut scenes compared to xenogears. Any I personally like a shit load of cut scenes! But I can see the point some people are trying to make about FFX.:eye:
I also thought kiamari was gonna be kinda cool but when I acually got a chance to play X he was just to savage. Talking about him self in the third person and stuff. Like landlord said pretty standard stuff as far a charecters.
sorry!:notgood: :notgood: :notgood:
Tidus disappears at the end.
It ends.
That’s about it.
Well, the graphics were decent as well, but by no means any reason to call it a great game.
As for storyline… well, nevermind. It was like any movie, it may have a good storyline, but hideous voice actors/casting will kill any chance of someone enjoying it.
I can have a heck of a lot more fun playing it than I can sitting here listening to people whine about insignificant crap. π
Although I have yet to find many places online where that occurs, so I guess it was too much to hope. π
(That, and I’ve been feeling particularly snarky tonight…it doesn’t really bother me that much.)
That is true but the entire point of this thread is so people can whine about this crap. If you don’t like it, why look at it? It’s your own free will and you can do what you want with it.
Sorry, but I must disagree. This thread has the title "Best thing about FFX", not "Worst thing about FFX".
beside’s who hate’s X
That’s crazy talk!:notgood:
er…..the best thing about x is that it is good……:whatever:
The best thing about X is the fact that it was made on the PS2 so the technology is nothing we have ever seen before therefore, making us think it is better.
*sighs* please tell your joking…….
Sorry, but I must disagree. This thread has the title "Best thing about FFX", not "Worst thing about FFX".
Yeah, and the things I mentioned are the best things about it, IMO. The thread is "In your opinion, what is the best thing about FFX?", if I read the first post right. Not, "Everyone say how awesome the game is, regardless of your true feelings on it." or "You can only say what you think the best thing about the game is if it’s one of the following: Voice acting, music, characters, weapons, armor, magic, Aeons, Graphics and Ending. And it must be a positive-sounding statement."
Oh, btw, my remarks were positive things about the game, albeit a bit more realistic.
Now post what you LIKED about FFX. If you think it’s Tidus disappearing at the end, alright. But don’t continue listing everything else that you thought was less good afterwards. It’s getting boring. π And I can also use my brain and conclude that you did not like the game much if you say: "Tidus disappears at the end. That’s it." Don’t underestimate us… :notgood:
That’s about it. ^~
But I still think it was super cool.
I should’ve spent more time to learn Jecht Shot properly… =/
Damit where has my sig gone this is pissing me off!!
I mean you can even scout players and teach your players new abilitys, it is totaly the best FF mini-game, it even shows the Chcobo breeding game in FF7 how tacky it was in comparison.
I dont know about you guys but it was an annoyence rather than a mini game for me!!!:whatever: :whatever:
Yes, it’s just that you’re the only intelligent person in the world. The others – that dumbasses that dare have a different opinion – all suck. I mean, just imagine! They actually disagree with you!! Now don’t we all know your opinion is the only right and great one?
End of sarcasm.
Stop fighting over something this idiotic. Continue in PMs as much as you want, but I am not having this thread be turned into a
"Blitzball sucks!" – "No!" – "Yes!" – "No!" -retarded, very retarded!!! whining.
No really I gotcha!:lol
What was this thread about again? oh ya another cool thing I like about ffX was the ctb system this makes it different than all the other ffs that and the fact that you control your aons!;) π π
*farts*
The game mechanics made it, for me, the best FF so far. The battle system was soooo much more intuitive than previous FF’s (FFVII I’m looking at you!)
I liked the Sphere Grid (especially because I have the PAL version).
I liked the fact that Blitzball was the first minigame I actually enjoyed playing, to the point that I concentrated solely on playing it for hours on end. Mind you, the whole goal was getting that Jupiter Sigil.
I even liked dodging lightning. Now I must go and purchase X-2.:cool:
Odin, I didn’t direct my post at you. I directed it at Landlord, mainly because he used the expression "whine about this crap". I really don’t want to have anyone "whine about this crap" in here. Whining is to say what is bad about a game. I’ve had this a bit too often lately, and about every thread seems to go into this direction sooner or later: Someone saying how bad this game is. Once more, I tell you… and I’ll go to FFVII and ruin every thread by expressing my dislike for this game. It’d be only fair. T_T

Sorry for the delayed response, didn’t check email notification or subscribe to the thread.
I wasn’t all that crazy about FF7, either, or any of the FF games, to tell the truth. Not to the point of "fanboy fanaticism" that seems to be so prevalent anymore. To me, the FF games are like good books. Not as good as the Dune saga, or Lord of the Rings, by any means, but still good.
So your whole thing about going to the FF7 forums and going into every single thread and saying how you don’t like the game isn’t going to bother me at all–especially since I don’t even check that forum unless I see that someone is looking at it on the Who’s Online page and the thread title they’re reading seems to be interesting.
A thing about FFX that I liked? Controlling the Aeons. Now, if they’d had more of them, and cooler ones, I’d have been impressed with the game enough for that to overshadow the hideous voice acting. Maybe even the storyline, too, which was too reminiscent of Ernest Hemingway for my tastes.
