Final Fantasy 10

Recommended Posts

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

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.

Pssh. Tifa would've been a better protaganist.

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."

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.

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:

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.

I wouldn't call them 'emotions' so much as neuron misfires in what an anatomist would be forced to call a brain.

Now this I've always found bizarre. 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.

Tidus was terrible. He had no personality and the voice acting was atrocious.

I concur with this statement.
