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

(+) Yeah! (+)

Auron > Wakka > Tidus > Lulu > Kimahri > Rikku > Yuna

Yeah that's right, I put that b****. in last place. I'm probably one of the few that enjoyed the Chappu backstory stuff, which makes Lulu a lot more interesting imo.

Yuna > Tidus > Auron >> Wakka > Rikku > Kimahri > Lulu

Top three are three of the best characters in any video game.

The top 4 are all great. Maybe swap Tidus and Auron.

Wakka that high up, eh, Truth? Big fan of his character arc, I take it? He really does have a cool one. Shame a lot of folks don't seem to even recognize it.

I just have him really high up because he reminds me of me. I grew up in a highly Christian family, and was almost brainwashed to the point where I'd be telling others why the things they were doing is wrong. Of course, I've since grown up and thought through it, and now I see how stubborn I was back then.

Don't worry guys, I have all the clubs

Swift here, Exxy's going across Mt. Gagazet now. Didn't have enough money to purchase Yojimbo, and after 8 tries, yes only 8, I got him the Sigil for Tidus. I was sooo lucky hahaha. Damn Chocobo BS.

Anyway we're gonna try to get Zanarkand done before going out, .... 2 hours we have, should be enough. Just nervous about Seymour Flux.

extha has gotten as far in 3 days in this game as I got in 3 years <_< need to finish this sometime soon...

He has me guiding him, that's why. I also am using an FAQ for chests I don't know on location to speed things up. He also really enjoys the game, and you don't

Anyway I always had a tough time with Flux just due to a few of his attacks. It'll be fine with me guiding them.

"I can't do this all on my own... no I know, I'm no Superman."

flux was pretty easy for me but I'm probably way overleveled and I maxed all of yuna's aeon overdrives beforehand

yea that's overleveled. I try to make him not use Aeons much to make things a bit more challenging. It's fun

~*~TEAM RK-VOLTCH'D~*~

you two are together a scary amount if you got to Gagazet in 3 days (assumedly all while being together).

I hope you aren't piloting him too much. FFX isn't exactly the world's most explanation-heavy RPG but leading somebody by the hand can really ruin a game like this. especially one where the world (Spira) is so damn good.

--
xyzzy

He asks me where secret chests are, I tell him. He asks for help on a boss, I give it if he wants it. He sidequests at his own discretion and lets spoilers unfold without asking me for incite so I don't lead him into understanding the plot.

As for being together a scary amount of time, it's my annual visit to his place, where else am I to go? lol, his other buddies live too far off.

I f***ing hate Yunalesca. I had her final form down under 10k HP twice and she killed me. Unbelievable.

That third time was the charm and that was the most satisfying victory in an RPG I've ever had. F***ing whore.

ExTha

fantastic game.

FAN-TASTIC game.

Best story in the series (that I've played, anyway).

Tidus is so much better than people give him credit for. Exceptional stuff. I think it would go FFIX > FFX > FFVII > FFV for me with what I've completed (and not counting FFXI).

Unbelievably good. It's a shame they don't make games like this anymore.

That's up to you man. A lot of people like it. Myself? I played through it once and while the battle system was solid everything else about it puked all over the best video game ending I'd ever seen before that -- FFX's. I hold X-2 with remarkable contempt. For me it just plain doesn't exist if you get my drift.

--

http://img.imgcake.com/Jeffzeropngus.png "Thanks Punny!"

I just found out auron can use threaten on bosses

weird status effect stuff usually doesn't do crap to FF bosses o_O

more evidence that auron is the ****ing man

X-2 is the main reason I don't like Yuna as a character AT ALL.

If you hurry, you can beat Lopen and me to finishing FF10-2! Or if you don't hurry. I don't think either of us plan on finishing that final stretch anytime soon.

Yeah, and I love her character. It's been so long since I've drummed up the bad memories of X-2 so I'm perfectly content living in my own little world where the last line in FFX is the last we see of her, I really and truly am.

--

I didn't care much for Yuna to begin with, but yeah, 10-2 definitely made her worse in my eyes.

Now Rikku, she was ruined for me by 10-2.

--
"Oh God, maplejet's trying to be cool again. I'll call the ambulance." - Wylvane

yuna is already my least favorite character in FFX so I probably have nothing to lose by trying 2!

Why don't you like Yuna just from FFX? I thought she was awesome.

And yeah FFX's ending is definitely the best out of any of them.

Swift here

ExDeath is still the best boss ever. FFX best story, FFV best battle system/boss

FFV best overall <3 best game ever

Why don't you like Yuna just from FFX? I thought she was awesome.

awkward...stuttering...VA...she's like...william shatner...on steroids. kirk william shatner, not shatner now that he's denny crane(awesome). I don't particularly like her personality or penchant for making terrible decisions either but the VA really takes it to another level, it's cringe worthy every time she has a lot of dialogue.

I dunno. I thought all the voice acting was pretty good, Yuna included. She made decisions based on what she was raised to believe. Her poor choices weren't really due to a lack of judgment. She thought she was doing what was best for Spira, and when she found out otherwise she changed her mind and said "Screw you, Yunalesca!"

--
ExTha

other than the laughing scene and maybe one or two other parts I think yuna was the only one that consistently bothers me, tidus gets a lot of flack but I don't see him as being half as obnoxious. I think wakka, auron, lulu and jecht are all pretty well written and acted. seymour is kind of a generic and bland villain but other aspects of FFX are strong enough to ignore that, I think it kind of fits within the theme of the game as it is

spira is one of final fantasy's most brilliant worlds, it's really too bad you can't freely traverse it until very late in the game

forcing Exxy to play Link's Awakening now. He's on 2nd dungeon

Congrats on finishing the game. One of the best FFs imo

how can you hate kimahri, he's so boring he's practically not even there <_<

him and rikku are my most unused characters in battle, I pretty much just sub them in to get them experience and then cycle them out ASAP

I don't hate Kimahri, I just don't like him as much as the rest of this great cast. I don't actually dislike any member of the main party.

ah, I can see that, as I said I basically consider him to be the most peripheral character ever

almost done with the game myself, got the airship last night so now I'm gathering level 3 spheres to OP the **** out of my party <_< also going to need to find some return/friend spheres. I'm grinding defender z's at the zanarkand dome, what other stuff should I do before fighting sin?

really don't like the world map in this, it doesn't open up until near the end like this and then doesn't let you really fly around or anything...even the visual aspect of it is kind of ruined because it just rotates and doesn't zoom properly, it's basically just a list of locations...

Celestial weapons. Makes you pretty overpowered but a lot of fun to use.

It's not that I dislike any of the main cast, I'm just using the greater than cluster to separate the characters that get far more development and backstory (and are subsequently quite a bit more interesting) than the rest. Seriously love Rikku, but she was pretty neglected as far as plot and development goes. Lu was also fairly one-dimensional. Very cool design but her role as experienced guide to Spira practically disappears once Auron joins the party and her character develops very little much unlike Tidus, Wakka, and Yuna.
