Why do so many people dislike FFX? - Page 8

I don't think too many people dislike this game, I believe more people hate VIII than this game. I for one really like Final Fantasy X because the storyline is wonderful and the characters are all really interesting and have very unique and special personalities. I don't know many people who actually dislike this game, a LOT seem to really enjoy it. I think it has a very good replay value which is always a good thing for a game. I love almost everything about this game, it was made exceptionally well. There are probably a few things which bug me but it's not really enough to make me hate it.

A fair few people who prefer the old school games are not too fond of this game because they believe the storyline isn't as complexed and the characters are pretty lame, well I would definitely have to disagree with that. The storyline kept me hooked from beginning to end! It's awesome.

I love FFX it's the best of the series I think. The game mixes a great plot, with fantastic characters, as well as the graphics (which were amazing at the time) and the product is FFX I personally think that if you think the game is childish or too simplistic then you're not deep enough to understand the game fully.

Bingo. And the same people who arent deep enough to understand it are the ones who think VII is god.

Fighting Talk! I don't think X is childish at all, but I do think the story is insignificant compared to VII's.

But thats's just my opinion. As I said, I'm playing X again and I am enjoying it much more than I did the first time. It's great. But It's no VII, sorry but it's true.

I have no clue why. X had a few complex themes that other Final Fantasies failed to deliver. I love that part in Bevelle where Yuna is defending herself in a trial; you realize that half of the room would be filed as deceased. Later on; Seymour makes the point that Spira is governed by death!

Get it? Sin is the epitome of the end and its' presence governs how the residents of Spira act! And the courtroom administrators (quite a few) were on the edge of death; and they control Spira as well.

Thus, death surrounds and controls almost every aspect of Spira. (What an excellent theme!) And don't get me started on the "this is my story" analogy. That's just genius.

But people have different opinions so...

I think that is part of the reason I am enjoying it much more now. But I still think that it is a game of two halves, the first 30 hours are pretty dreary, oh c'mon admit it!

The second half of the game improves significantly. Everything just gets better! I think that may be something to do with the fact that the voice actors started to get a handle on who they were playing.

The script improves, the dialogue improves, the plot evolves, the voice acting improves.... just a little too late in the game to make it a classic. IMHO.

Not sure why either… I loved this game. In fact, it’s one of my top three favorite FF’s in the series.

It had an excellent storyline…

A great set of characters as well good depth and character development…

An excellent score of music…

Great game-play…

I loved the use of religion that’s full of hidden hypocrisy as the main setting of the story.

The only thing that I really found somewhat annoying in this game was Tidus and a few of the voice actors, but it was certainly nothing that would cause me to hate the game.
