final fantasy X rules goddamit

FFX didn't do much that was new but I still enjoyed it.  It and FF7 are the only 2 FF games that I've ever beaten.  The main character and story seemed to be even fruitier than usual but I warmed up to both elements by the end of the game.  I guess I mostly liked FF because of its presentation.  The cutscenes were even more amazing than before and the gameplay graphics were a huge step-up from the previous 3d FFs.  In terms of gameplay, it was just more of what one would expect from a FF title.  As usual, the boss battles and magic were fun while the side quests/random encounters were annoying.  It was a fun game to play through once but I won't ever do it again.

Mmm yeah you're doing it wrong. I beat her way underleveled. FAQ it.

The FAQ is useless to me cause it calls for all these incredible armors that I just flat out can't get now.  Unless Rikku can still some shit to make Deathproof armors, I'm stuck.

I STILL CAN'T FUCKING BEAT YUNALESCA RAWR

I trained for like fucking two hours today and still no dice.  Tidus and Auron are now BEYOND their portions of the sphere grid.  Yuna is near Holy.  And wtf I can't beat her still.  I don't have any armors with Deathproof; hell, I don't have many good status-cancelling armors period.

when she zombifies you, leave your guys zombified. the attack she uses later in the battle hurts normal characters, but the zombie characters don't get hurt at all

[trh]

aye keep them zombified before the third round begins, she uses mega death and that will ohk all of your chars if you're not zombified. the key to beating her is using reflect on your own characters, won't have to keep up with all the shit she throws at you

edit: and make sure to throw hastega on your chars before you use reflect too

FF9 though....pure awesome.  I'm playing though it again right now and I forgot just how big of a game it was.  So much stuff to do.

i think i need to go back and play it too.  it's been getting a lot of love from evilbore and i don't remember much of the game so the only way would be....

...but lost odyssey first.

And I guess I can see why. He didn't have a lot of time, and IMO he's totally sucked ass at arranging in the modern era.

He's said he had more time on FF9 than any other soundtrack he's done, though.  (11 months on FF9 vs. 6-8 months on most of the others.)  I'm not sure there are so many fewer good tracks than other soundtracks, although the CDs aren't really listenable straight through because of things like having three versions of the already repetitive Burmecia/Freya theme.

And just wanted to come and say FFX rocks.

Best post-Nintendo era Final Fantasy.

Oh fuck, why didn't I think of that.
