I hated it too. Only certain team members can fight certain enemies was just clunky concept.

And blitz ball was boring

It was a beautiful game at the time, and had fantastic music. But most of the characters were annoying, and it suffered from the same problem a lot of older anime did - stilted lip matching that makes all of the spoken dialogue sound awkward as hell, which only exacerbates the "annoying characters" problem.

Throwing in lack of a strong, interesting villain and a meh story, and it gets hard to actually care about any of these people or any of the things they're doing.

It might also hurt that this was the first Final Fantasy that felt like it stepped away from mimicking the European fantasy aesthetic and shifted to a more Asian model (with strong Polynesian influences), which starts to push some culture conflict buttons as well.

It was pretty good when it first came out. Endgame mini games are annoying, and unfortunately it led to FFXIII.

I think he means that, in older games, you could have a dozen team members but only three or four of them could fight in a given battle. Whereas FFX let you swap other characters in and out, so you could technically have your entire team fight the enemy.

No, I think he means there are specific enemies that can only be hurt by certain allies.

Like, some will only be hurt by black magic. You can barely hurt those guys with Tidus. But Tidus can hurt he really fast enemies, while everyone swings and misses when they attack that enemy. And then flying enemies...don't both attacking them with anyone but Wakka

One of my favorite games.
I've played it at least 20 times doing all sorts of challenges and builds.
Eventually everyone is the same when you Max the grids but solo runs really switch things up.

I'm so glad the remaster has the dark aeons and that killer sound track!

Yeah, there was really no strategy to random encounters. It was basically a matching game. Oh and don't forget to switch Yuna in so she gets a share of that exp!

That system becomes moot further in the game. As your dudes level up, they become faster, stronger, etc. so they don't have any issues hitting the different enemies.

I'd say it's something of an improvement over the previous games where you would just have your favored party members that you use for the entire game (until the game inevitably forces you into a point where they're unavailable). It adds some variety. The only real annoyance is characters not getting XP outside of battle.

I deleted it from YouTube because I'm not proud of the type of humor I went for.
This was about 15 years ago.
I also got a lot of shit in the comments because I pronounced Tidus as Tee Dus.

To be fair, when I played FFX, I absolutely spent 99% of my time only using my favored party members, except for situations where the game forced me to switch to someone else in some way.

I made the mistake of mentioning I don't like female leads on the Xbox forums, and was immediately accosted by some (assumingly) grotesque feminazi calling me sexist and a bunch of other stuff. It's just a preference. And I enjoyed Horizon.

Yeah, but they made an attempt I guess. It wasn't flawless, but it was something. Once you got closer to the end game, it didn't matter who you were using. You could effectively use any character setup. And by that of course I mean Tidus, Wakka, and Auron because obviously that's the team to go with.

I still maintain that FFX had the best ATB system of the main series.

In every early FF game that had ATB and the option to disable ATB, I disabled ATB almost immediately. In the games where you couldn't disable ATB, I was usually surly about it.

Now, years later, when most RPGs are action-RPGs with real-time battle, and I'm far more used to reacting on the fly and not having my leisure to think tactically and screw around in menus forever, I still think ATB is the worst of all possible systems. It's straddling halfway between two extremes and being worse than either. It's the same thing I disliked about how they handled mechanics in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Menu-based games should never be ATB (see also, why I don't play RTS games). Either lean entirely into tactical combat and tons of action options via menus, or flip the other way and go for more fluid action and constant activity but streamline your system inputs (Kingdom Hearts actually handled that pretty well).

I agree, except when my mood is slightly different, and I feel like FF4 is the best FF instead.

Those two are definitely at the top, regardless.
