grandjackal Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 No. ...kidding, kidding, fine. Personally, I found it...boring. It had a fast battle system, but the game was just way too damn easy. Couldn't stand most of the characters. Only likable ones were Auron simply because he's the token badass, and Seymour, who is actually a legitimately insane villain.

grandjackal Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) EASY?!...EASY?!IT'S FREAKIN HARD ??? Wha? The game is a cakewalk...Didn't grind, didn't abuse, didn't use Rikku's Mix abilities, didn't even switch members much. I got Lulu to the aga level spells, used Yuna with the black magic spheres the game will always give you by then, use return sphere to return to white magicky stuff with the only return sphere you'll ever need, never used anything outside of Tidus, Lulu/Yuna and Auron. Get Khimari a couple sphere levels early but don't use them till later so he can just get Ultima right there, Yuna uses another black magic and return sphere for when you actually need to learn ultima (later, since high level key spheres are needed, not that you need it anyways), and the game is just a walking game from there. Tidus alone makes it too easy with Haste and Hastega. Wouldn't even use Yuna if the game didn't force Yuna in some parts. Yes, it's so easy, white magic isn't even needed to win.

uguu Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yes, the game is very easy. And crappy. And a movie. But less of a movie than MGS4, so I'll give it that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The random encounter rate is ridiculous. It took me well over an hour to cross Mt. Gagazet because of all the encounters. I was using Flee to escape more than half of them, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Odd, I didn't find them common. But yeah, the game is easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never get any more key spheres than the game automatically gave you. And I can't figure out how to get the strongest weapons for each character...and I suck with character custimization...and I'm just not good at RPGs in general. So yeah. That would explain why it's so hard for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain why it's so hard for me. You don't need any more key spheres than the game gives you. Only ones you really need are the ones to get ultima. As for Yuna, what I pointed out up there is only because Yuna is forced at some parts, otherwise I wouldn't even think of using her. Lulu can just as easily use a friend sphere to learn all teh white magic too. No real character customization is actually needed, just go with how the sphere grid leads you normally. You don't even need the strongest weapon, all they do is make an easy game even easier. As for the encounter rate, It isn't noticeable since you're just going to kill the same enemies the same way every time thanks to the turn system+anything Tidus can do. It makes things more tedious rather than hard. It's more road blocks of experience rather than an enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanum Tuberosum Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 To Zanarkand is my favorite PS2 music. That being said, I don't have very much PS2 games that aren't sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The game is good IMO. But not that great compare to FF7. There's no way FFX can outcast FF7 in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 that just goes without saying. Which is why this is my opinion post. I prefer FF7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 This is the only Final Fantasy out of all twelve I have yet to play (currently on XI). And I still don't see much reason to try it out... it just feels like FFVIII-2, with a little more fantasy to it. Which wouldn't help its case at all D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which wouldn't help its case at all D:How about the fact that FFX has far superior gameplay to FFVIII?Trust me, I played FF8 and FFX side by side, and the difference was really clear.

Celice Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) Quite obviously, all a player really has to do is watch some battles to see the large gap between shit and shiny shit. But that's not enough to keep me interested in it D: I want to play XI so badly but I needs a job :( You could get the free trial. There's also a few trial disks for purchase at about $3 or so, which give you 30 days. Edited January 31, 2009 by Celice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiba Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I still liked FFXII better just because its gameplay style besides the auto move set, it was much like .hack so I enjoyed it a lot and just like FFX in order to get the other weapons you have to get a hell of a lot stronger as well as being able to defeat all the hunts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
