I'm thinking of doing a review of all the main series Final Fantasy games, but I want to judge it based on 10 criteria, and as of now, I can only think of about 6. These are:
-Story
-Characters
-Battle System
-Character Growth
-Music
-Graphics

I want there to be 10 so the final score can be easier to calculate, and more fair. I want to do a criteria based on the gameplay outside of battle, but I don't know exactly what it would entail. For example: in Final Fantasy 2, there are two gameplay aspects outside of battle that I want to draw attention to (the password system, and those freaking doors that warp you to the middle of a room where the encounter rate is kicked up to 50) but both are completely different kinds of gameplay. I'd do one based on side-content, but I just never really care for that stuff anyway, plus it would put the older games at a disadvantage. And in the case of the final act of V and VI in particular, it blurs the line regarding what can or can't be considered sidequests. Any suggestions?
 
:hmmm:
Side quests is good, i'd go with that.
Replayability?
Difficulty?
gameplay mechanics - like; junctioning isn't really the battle system. Or would that come under character growth?

Yes, that would be under Character Growth, but Gameplay Mechanics is a better name. That would cover the junctioning system, the sphere grid, materia, magicite, the various job systems, and the horribly broken leveling system from 2.
I can't really judge it based on replayability because a game like Final Fantasy X is, like, 50 hours long and I don't want to restart it from scratch.
As for difficulty, it'd be kind of hard to do that because which would get a better score, hard or easy? Maybe "Balance" would be better, because it's something that can easily be guaged.
I suppose I could do sidequests if I count the remakes of 1 and 2.
