Board 8 > Listen to my story. This may be ExTha's last chance. (FFX playthrough)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Trying my hand at FFX again, at Swift's request. Let's see if I like it any more this time.

Previously Swift has forced me to play through FFV and FFIX and I loved those (FFIX my favorite ever), so we'll see!

I do because I can.....and because I'm bored.

When I read "This may be ExTha's last chance," I was hoping to get a playthrough where ExTha is the main character.

Oh well.

Tidus, basically.

I am liking him more this time though. I like that he narrates everything. It's very cool and different. I'm only like two hours in though.

Tidus is the best part of the game.

No, it's Jecht. Tidus is the second best part of the game.

We can compromise and say the Jecht Family is the best part of the game.

Tidus is a very underrated lead. Most other protagonists seem to take life-changing events in stride for little to no reason. Tidus's outlook is a lot more believable to me.

I don't know. From what I remember, Tidus had a bad mother. How could she let the loss of her husband affect her raising her child so much?

It's been awhile since I played, though, so I could be remembering wrong, but it seemed like she was hardly there for him when he was having a rough go of it in his childhood, simply because she was said Jecht was gone.

Truth.

Tidus is real, as are his emotions, his actions, and his reactions which is why he tends to get a lot of hate. I think he's a great protagonist because of this though.

Enjoy your playthrough, Ex!

I wasn't using "great" in the sense of "This is the ideal family all of us should aspire to have!"

I know. You meant great as in best characters yadda yadda. I'm just saying the mother wasn't great at all. She was kind of a dumbass.

Mer

I feel like a lot of you guys disliked Tidus when you were younger because he reminds you of yourselves. Not to get to Freudian or anything, just my theory.

The older you get the more you realize he is an angsty, overly defensive, sensitive teenager and for good reason:

His mom sucked. His father was an over-bearing alpha male who he could never live up to. Then right as he lives up to him, his father disappears.

He copes rather well and he is the best FF lead imo

Realo won gold at the Sex Olympics with a BROKEN FRIGGIN NECK.-Voltch

I think you're reading too much into it Realo. Admittedly the whiny obnoxious stuff put me off back then, and now it seems realistic to me. I'm not sure where I'm at with Tidus so far this play through. The random laughing while he was talking to Yuna on the way to Kilika was just stupid. LOVED the staring at Lulu's cleavage through the binoculars though.

Anyways Tidus is going to have a really hard time competing with Zidane, for me. Zidane's such a fantastic lead.

--
ExTha

It's not freudian, it's just that when you're a dumb little kid you see his whiny self for 5 minutes and you think that's all there is to his character because you're used to 1-dimensional RPG characters.

Laughing scene is amazing though, probably one of the best scenes in gaming.

I look forward to when this topic contains a debate about the merits of the laughing scene.

Excellent game. It's also nice to see positive comments about Tidus since he usually gets quite a bit of hate.

Zidane's better but Tidus is still a hell of a lot better than people give him credit for.

I've always liked all of the FF7-X + Tactics leads (Delita is better than Ramza though).

I haven't finished the game yet, but I cannot possibly see how Delita is better than Ramza. So far Delita is awful.

A rather uncommon stance. Most FFT diehards swear by him. I quite enjoy him, myself, although I prefer Ramza.

Critical question:

Did you play with Auto movement or Manual movement?

Because Auto movement is terrible.
