If you guys think FFX is a pretty game, you must not play that many games or something, because even if it wasn't your style, shitty is an exaggeration. Another example, like I said in Chris' "do you still like games?' topic. People have ridiculous expectations from games. FFX's battle should have been enough to suffice a solid game, and it is one because of that battle system. FFVII may not be better than FFVI and the like, but it's far from shitty. FFIX may be weak as hell on many fronts, but it still manages to be fun.
Stop trying to make every damn game into master piece and you should be fine. Gawd damn. Compared to most other jrpgs, FFVII, IX, and X are pretty damn good, so shut up.
