Biggest Annoyance? - Page 3

No Blue Mage.

Fran should have been the Blue Mage, with her affiliation with the Mist and all. A class system would have been nice, instead of enabling everyone with the opportunity of being UBERMAGE and SUPERSOLDIER.

Seriously, Greatswords + Magic = Ownage

The potential for classes was there in the beginning ... Warrior, Gunner, Archer, Thief ... but ... blah. The Zodiac Job System seems as if it'd make the game 100x harder. Wiith the hectic battles ... the mish-mash of classes is needed.

I liked the Quickenings, but what annoyed me was that they PHAILED by themselves. Maelstrom's Bolt, a level 3 Quickening, did 42 Damage by itself ... using up all of my MP, where it would have been easier just to attack it physically ...

The plot drags on. "Snippet of plot and character interaction" - *gets sent of to some dungeon or other for an item* - Repeat 4+ times over.

Right. Technicks were EXTREMELY useless. And Telekinesis wasn't even that good, it was stronger to just use magic.

I agree. Time magic was very useful, especially when you were in a dungeon with lots of traps. Penelo was forever setting off traps in my game.

Anytime I saw traps, I could just cast float instead of trying to maneuver around them.

Yes, the ending was quite disappointing.

That's why I hated them. To even do any sort of damage, you had to get a good chain and a good chain depended a lot on the first roll. So, it was quite easy to waste all of your MP with the quickenings.

Screw you, don't tell me that I am wrong since I am just posting my opinion on what I believe is true. Heck the only spells that I personally have used outside of the Black and White spell have been Dispel, Blind and Slow and they where for mainly used for fighting bosses and marks.

I don't really see any need to cast Bubble when your charcters can wear Bubble Belts, the belts are much better than the spell cuz the belts effect is permanent unlike the spell whose effect is temporary.

Same goes for Protect and Shell, I don't see any point casting them when Shielded armour and Mirror Mails easily do the same job as those spells.

Also I found spells like Vanish, Warp, Oil, etc to be kinda pointless and useless in battle to be honest.

The thing about bubble belts is they take up your only accessory slot. And there were other good accessories to use, such as the rose corsage (prevents silence) and the Genji glove. I kept bubble on a gambit for Balthier and Penelo since I needed those other accessories but Basch had a bubble belt.

And what the hell did Vanish do anyway? I used it once but I'm pretty sure it did nothing.

Why does everyone hate the ending? I liked it ... made me smile

Sure, it left it open, but I liked how it was fun and playful (no one complains when FFVII's ending was an open-ended one ...)

I'm annoyed that The Undying wasn't that hard ... although, he was x10 harder than that pathetic excuse for a final boss, Yu Yevon.

my biggest annoyance was of course the lack of a strong main character. vaan just doesnt cut it for a final fantasy main character. he barely has any connection to the story, he eventually is almost completely uninvolved in any of the games events besides the death of his brother, and ashe takes more of a leader responsibility than him. he's just poor, he dresses like a male stripper, and his voice and corny lines annoyed the hell out of me.

To be fair, I'd say Jecht was the real "final" boss of FFX; if Yu Yevon was meant to be remotely challenging, you wouldn't have been given permanent auto-life for the entire fight.

On the subject of Vaan, I sort of liked how he took more of an observer-like role than any of the previous main characters in FF games.

Haha, this kinda resembles a bash FFXII thread. Anyway...

Balthier is probably my biggest annoyance in the game. Possibly my most hated male character ever. He is incredibly cringeworthy, and everytime he speaks, I'm always cursing.
