auto movement makes it pretty awful because it takes a lot of chance to win that initial match vs the goers. This is swift BTW. I think blitz is pretty cool, but there's a lot more fun things to do in this game so I never really bother with it.

With auto movement it's a disaster though, full manual makes it a math fighter alla dissidia, which is pretty neat. I forgot to set it, but the cutscene for winning is minimal and I just want Exxy to get on with the game.

It might very well. I'm not nearly as well-versed in the battle mechanics of FFX as I used to be. That said, it could seem as such because of the particularly long paths that often wind far enough down so that you see Tidus slowly disappear into the background for a bit.

It does feel like this, yes. But I think that may be because its one long boring path for the most part. I hate that part of the game.

Still my favourite game of all time, and I am long past loving jRPG's. Badass Auron, great music(Wandering Flame, the track that plays after the big fight with Sin before Djose Temple(I think it's Djose) is fantastic)


Also, can't wait to see how you do in ehrr Bevelle Temple, I think.

It's not like he knows what the macarena is. It just happens to be how he screws up the name.

I played through FFX once and did not care for it. I admit it had one of the better twists/oh s*** moments in video game history. Unfortunately not just Tidus but MOST of the main characters annoyed the bejesus out of me.

It's such a well recieved game I probably should give it another chance as well. Kudos to extha for being open to that sort of thing.

The cast can get a bit too... Japamboyant at times for my tastes. I wouldn't say it's anywhere near as bad as a great many other (and especially more recent) JRPGs, though, and I really am quite critical about these sorts of things.

The occasional "...er?" moment the game throws at me narrative-wise is more than made up by the level of depth and consistency with the characters -- and more importantly the impressive amount of development almost all of them receive by game's end. I'm easily able to look past the flailing hand motions and "Yuuuunie!" proclamations of Rikku, for example, as her character is taken in interesting directions and there is a surprising level of substance behind her mannerisms and motivations.

And then there are people like Auron who I really do think are just plain badass.

Just beat Seymour. That fight was intense!

It would've been tougher but on the first part of phase 3 the idiot used Blizzaga on Shiva, and then didn't OHKO with Thundara and Shiva got her Overdrive. Diamond Dust, gg no re Seymour.

Although I noticed the problem with Yuna not sending him... that doesn't bode well for the future!!

Exxy is addicted, and I'm 100% content watching him replay this. It's like when I first watched my lil sis play this game. She was driven to tears, it was nice to share something with her. Despite it being sad. Same goes for my best buddy here. Will keep you all informed, he wants to push ahead on the air ship. Bevelle time!
