I would rather play 500 rounds of Blitzball for celestial weapons than do the loving lightning bolt dodging or chocobo race even once.

Blitzball gets real boring when you 100%, but it's a decent minigame. The lightning bolt dodging is why I tell people to never think about 100%ing that game.

100YrsofAttitude posted:Oh FFX update. Got all the summons and all the celestial weapons. I was going to say gently caress it to Auron's Spheres, cause I have to go through a mega-boss to get it, BUT then I realized I could cheaply grind Yojimbo enough to 1HKO so you know what? I'm going to take my chances. Hearing this is making me reminisce something fierce; FFX was the first game that gave me the completionist itch and it took 180+ hours to scratch it. Excellent work.

I genuinely don't mind the Chocobo Race. It kinda sucks but it doesn't take that long to get it down. Lightning Dodging sucks because it is pure unfiltered unhindered loving tedium for a minimum of 15 minutes assuming you don't zone off or get bored and eat a bolt. I'd rather try at something I feel like I'm trying at instead of "hit button 200 times in a row while doing nothing else."

The only thing I sort of remember about FFX is that people, I think generally? didn't really like it at the time. Am I misremembering? Edit: that might've been some weird (and totally unsurprising) goon opinion. Looks pretty good!

Almost every Final Fantasy is despised by the core FF audience on release, until at minimum the next numbered entry comes out. IIRC, X was referred to as a Hallway Simulator, until XIII showed us all what a true hallway simulator is (XIII is my favorite for ~~reasons~~ but I'm not going to say it is without problems) The FF mega thread here was at one point titled "Every Final Fantasy is the Worst Final Fantasy" for a reason

FF9 was really well received and people were really looking forward to it. The busted website tie-in strategy guide was the only issue. Especially after FF8, eesh, that was rough.

I just finished FFXIII on Game Pass after a decade-long FF hiatus, and it's no FFXII (or X) but I enjoyed it plenty.

I failed the lightning bolts at 192 or so a long time ago, and that made me not play ffx for over 10 years. Dark Souls has nothing on that.

Chronojam posted:FF9 was really well received and people were really looking forward to it. The busted website tie-in strategy guide was the only issue. Especially after FF8, eesh, that was rough. Unfortunately this isn't really true. A lot of FF fandom came to FF through 7 and 8 which were louting More Realistic Graphics (for the time) and then they went to big headed bobble cartoon characters. It got a similar response to what happened with Wind Waker. Its sales numbers were something like half of what 7, 8 and 10 all reached. A lot of people love IX now and it wasn't like despised on release but the switch to the cartoony art style was met with a lot of "baby poo poo for babies" stuff.

I can understand folks wanting them to continue the trend of the cool weird poo poo the last 2-3 games were on Good Soldier Svejk fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Apr 7, 2022 |

final fantasy x was ridiculed for its voice acting and lip sync issues and because tidus was a very realistic portrayal of a dumb whiny teenager who matures over the story to not be so dumb and whiny

16-bit Butt-Head posted:final fantasy x was ridiculed for its voice acting and lip sync issues Yeah at the time FFX got a lot of "lol the voice acting sucks" and "MEG RYAN" stuff. (Including a bunch of "I bet the Japanese version is better" when it turns out Tidus and Yuna's VAing in Japan was significantly worse!) It still sold fuckin' gangbusters mind you but it was mocked plenty. FF12 is the closest the series ever came to a bomb. "It plays itself" and "There is no story" were probably the biggest criticisms leveled but for whatever reason game just sold like utter poo poo. XIII and XV had more troubled production history but sold significantly better. XIV might be the "series bomb" if it hadn't turned itself around into "the most profitable and successful game in the franchise" instead.

Even if "he's a dumbass he's supposed to look stupid" is the intent (it wasn't) why would you want to spend dozens of hours with the idiot who looks like he's wearing high-fashion future-renaissance J-POP JNCOs you know Nomura thinks that poo poo is the coolest
