Why do so many people dislike FFX? - Page 3

Exactly, few games have such a compelling storyline and such in-depth characters like FFX. The story is weaved in such a fashion that it keeps you interested through the whole game.

i have seen a thread like this for so many final fantasy games, and to be honest i dont know that many people that are on this site that actually dislike any final fantasies. this game gets it pretty easy as far as its number of haters, compared to games like VIII and X-2.

FFX was on of my least favourite and I am probably close to disliking the game.

First, Tidus really pissed me off. It was how he was 'too cheery'. Also, I didn't like how he is some sports star who is given a sword. Seconds before you fight he could barely even wield the sword yet seconds later he is wielding it with one hand like a pro. I honestly thought Tidus was going to be the worst protagonist until Vaan came along...

I didn't like the Sphere Grid. Mostly because I prefer the levelling up system.

Quite a few of the voice acting I didn't like. Again most notably, Tidus. His voice irretated me. Some of the voice acting wasn't really the fault of the voice actor but the lip synching was poor. A lot of the cutscenes sounded too cheesy.

WORLD MAP!!!11.11312!! I can't believe they went for this. Going from location A to location B really bugged me. It was always cool to fly to your next destination or basically just level up but now that the World Map was taking away, it just lost that sense of freedom. World Map was always the best place to level up.

I did enjoy the ending. Part of the reason was that it seemed that Tidus died which would have been well deserved but Square Enix completely ruined the ending with FFX-2! However, when it comes to Final Fantasy games, I tend to just ignore any sequels that have been made and focus on the title itself so in my mind, Tidus died and FFX had a good ending.

I didn't like how the took out the ATB in the battle system and basically replaced it with the old NES titles except easier as it is displayed in the top right hand corner who will get the next attack. ATB will always be my favourite.

The story wasn't bad but the journey seemed predictable, mainly because you are going from temple to temple with things happening on the way, unlike other Final Fantasy titles where something happens, you go there and it leads onto other places or back at a previous place. FFVII and FFIX always gave me that excitement when I was going to a new location or even an old one (Loved it when you parachute into Midgar) but I don't get that feeling at all with this game. I will also go on to say that I found most of the locations a bit, dull. I don't think there was much they could do about that since it fits in with the story though unlike previous titles, I was left uninterested in the locations.

I didn't like how save points also heal you. This made the game easier and no need for inns. I mostly only use items like remedies when I'm training and can't be bothered flying to the nearest location to rest at the inn but in this game it was no need since I had a save point right next to you.

One of the least favourites out of the series for me just above FFXII. I haven't fully enjoyed an FF game since FFIX.

I liked the game. The only flaw with me was sometimes the voice acting was abit off, but thats nothing really.

Everyone have the right to say his/her opinion and in my opinion it was 1 of the greatest FF games ever.
And I love the Sphere grid it gives you lots of abilities.

I thought that the game was perfection. i adored every single thing about this game, except for one thing. Tidus. after the strong lead characters from previous games (Cloud, Zidane, Terra, Celes, Cecil etc) Tidus was a huge dissapointment, the fact that he didn't even take the leadership role but we still had to talk around as him just bugged the hell out of me.

i was Glad he wasn't forced into my party though

but apart from Tidus, i really have no problem with FFX, the storyline, gameplay, voices...everythings just perfection

so i really dont understand why some people dislike it...

I dunno, I disliked the game more than I liked it sorry to say. =\
I mean, the story, in my opinion was full of detail, but I thought it was too short.
I didn't like the voice acting either, got too far away from those days where you had to read what was on the character's minds, which I loved doing.
Also, I hated Seymour.
No offense.

On the other hand, the gameplay was overall A+, especially blitzball, which I love.

Final Fantasy X is Awesome. X-2 is what sucks.
