Just Crouton Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I've been watching [url="http://www.twitch.tv/carcinogensda"]Carcinogen[/url] lately, and he's been playing FF10 without the Sphere Grid. It's the first main numbered Final Fantasy since Final Fantasy 4 to actually try something new that isn't just taking what was introduced in FF4 and changing the learning system. -Some manipulation of who gets the next turn, allowing you to control the battle -Greater depth of character customization, in a way greatly fleshing out FF2's customization -Customizing weapons -Swimming, which adds more exploration and expands the world -Play as summons, and even customize them -Environment interaction during some battles -Switching party members during battle, which is more realistic, and adds more strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 My favorite in the series because it dumped that annoying ATB system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Issun Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I must agree, FFX was the best in the series for me. And the CTB system was probably the best I've ever seen. I've come to notice that a lot of peopled criticize Tidus for being too whiny... But at least he actually HAS emotions, unlike SOME FF protagonists.

Tentacruel Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I love it but I haven't beaten it yet. But it's not as good as its sequ*shot to death by angry nerds* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Tidus wasn't great, but had more life to him and stood out more than other leads, especially Terra, who I consistently forgot existed after Sabin was introduced. I lean towards Tidus more than say, Cloud, because Tidus had more of a presence, his reactions to most of the story developments were logical for his character, and he had more character traits besides brooding and angst...Cloud and Squall.

[/quote] Barret and Avalanche fighting Shinra to build a better world for his adoptive daughter would be a better story than Sephiroth's "ima droppin mah pink meteor on yall". Heck, any story beats Sephiroth's "ima droppin mah pink meteor on yall." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Tidus was terrible. He had no personality and the voice acting was atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 All FF Big Bad's just want to destroy everything except themselves. Not just Sephiroth. Ultimacea did. Kuja did (in the end). Seymour did (at least he had a crzed argument of saviour to go with it). Anyway, some of my favourite characters ever (Auron and Rikku) one of the best quests (monster colesseum), a huge interactive and diverse world bough to life with sensational graphics, awesome music, voice actors, Blitzball, and a great story line with a mix of traditional favourites and new stuff. Still amazing an incredible 11 years on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cakey Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 As someone who has never played a Final Fantasy game in my life, but has made a significant study of the franchise, I say the following: [quote name='Wandering Artist - Issun' timestamp='1339457342' post='5955608'] I've come to notice that a lot of peopled criticize Tidus for being too whiny... But at least he actually HAS emotions, unlike SOME FF protagonists. [/quote] I wouldn't call them 'emotions' so much as neuron misfires in what an anatomist would be forced to call a brain. [quote name='God Machismo!!!!!' timestamp='1339460935' post='5955639'] Tidus wasn't great, but had more life to him and stood out more than other leads, especially Terra, who I consistently forgot existed after Sabin was introduced.

People complain that Cloud is an emotionless emo whatever. And he is...for about half an hour. Then he becomes more or less a normal guy, and then suffers an extremely disturbing psychotic breakdown. Then he gets better and becomes a perfectly well-adjusted human being. Then Advent Children happened, which so far as I can tell is a declaration that anything FF7-related (including FF7 itself) except Dirge of Cerberus is non-canon. I enjoyed Squall's dialogue and found his character to be significantly nuanced. Unfortunately, FF8 disagreed with me. tl;dr Cloud and Squall are actually excellent characters, it's just...Square happened.
