Mega Mana 06/03/18 10:10:47 AM #422:	43. Beat another user's favorite game Final Fantasy X - Wow, finally. First Final Fantasy game I've ever completed. And I needed to step away for a few months to do so (see: Trails the 3rd). My brain's not awake so I'm likely not going to do this write-up any justice. Biggest Surprises: - Just how gooood the combat system is. Every character you have serves some important role in combat and the enemies for the most part need even minor strategy to beat. Flan's require magic, hedgehogs require pierce, ahrimans need blitzballs to the face, some monsters have on-death attacks so you need to make sure you're buffed and healed. Between the Sphere Grid and the Weapon/Armor slots, it could really begin to feel like FFVII Materia where combat roles are pretty much interchangeable, but throughout everyone fit their starting niche and expanded in really cool and fluid ways. Probably my favorite RPG combat system in recent memory. The characters, overall, were really well done with a lot of low-key moments influencing who they are at their core and how their journey is helping them grow. I'm disappointed that Kimahri didn't get much more, but everyone else was solid especially Tidus, Yuna, and Wakka. The world building in this game was fantastic too. The final battles felt easier than expected mostly thanks to Doublecast and LowHP Auron dealing 30000 a blow (I may have overlevelled some trying to beef up for Dark Aeons, before ultimately giving up and shelving the game for a while), but I'l be damned if those Behemoth Kings and petrification dragons didn't ruin my day multiple times. There is still a lot left I want to do someday (get Anima, find the Jecht Spheres, fill up the captured monsters, upgrade all the legendary weapons, definitely NOT fight the hour-long super boss battle), but I'm not obsessing over it like I was before. Excellent game and I can see why it's another user's favorite.
