No amount of words or posturing or descriptive past experiences with this game could ever come close to describing even a fraction of how much I love this game and how much it has meant to be growing up, my tastes, the stories I would always seek out in the games I played, the kind of person I thought I always wanted to be growing up.

I got this game the same year it released, as my first title along with my ps2 console. My love for ffx developed so quickly, and embarrassingly, for the first year or so of owning it, I never actually finished it. At the time of playing it, I was so young, going on close to 7 years old I think. I would always play, reach guadosalam, head through Macalania Woods, only to be stopped on every reset playthrough against Seymour's first encounter at Macalania temple. At the time I guess my brain was too smooth to understand the use of Nul-Magic spells from Yuna and I could never beat him for quite some time until I grew older and eventually was able to beat the game.

And yet most of my fondness of the game was made and planted in those re-set re-runs of those beginning parts of FFX, I knew I could never beat him each time I reset the game, but for some reason my stupid brain loved the journey to get there so much, that It didn't matter that I was only experiencing what would be the first quarter of the game really.

Maybe I just grew attached to this game so much because I was young and it was my first new game I owned, maybe I just liked it because the music would slowly put me to sleep every time I turned it on, or how otherworldly everything felt in game, and how relatable it was to go about a world that knew nothing about you such as Tidus did. It certainly felt very relatable in my young age growing up.

This whole write up isn't going to lead to some grand conclusion honestly. Infact it might be kinda silly that I loved a game that took me almost 2 years from owning it to actually beating, because I was so young. I dunno.

But it's the case for me. So much so that I often cannot even listen to the original soundtrack anymore because it's just so soaked with memories of days gone by growing up, and replaying and replaying this game each summer, and throughout each year. Every single song is just filled with all these feelings and memories that it almost makes me physically ill to listen to, like I open up the floodgates to something long untouched, something that was so full of love and comfort, and to this day still is.

Oh well this has gone on too long and I guess it's not really a review type write up huh? More like my own personal diary. I doubt any of this might convince you to play it but at the very least you can know what this little game from 2001 did to a young kid growing up.
