Oh boy this is a game.
The story sucks. Like genuinely sucks. The romance is shallow. Idk how the summoning works or makes sense.
Why is Auron a special ghost?
Idk, watch Yuna do a dance.
Tidus is annoying, whiny, and not real, so as a protagonist he's a bit of a damp squib. Yuna too feels underbaked. Tidus I think would always be bad, but Yuna does feel like a missed opportunity to do or say something within the broader ouvre. Kimahri could use a few more minutes in the oven, and the Mt whateveritscalled segment threatens to be interesting.
Rikku is fine, Wakka is actively atrocious. Not only is he a massive racist, which is fine to position as if the aim is to challenge those views, but he never really shuts the door on that- instead it feels like he gives Rikku and her nearest and dearest the okay because "they're the good ones."
To say nothing of his weapon being a ball.
And to say nothing again because, although pro, Wakka isn't like the Pele of blitzball.
Feels like watching Ronaldo slay god with a sick bicycle kick.
Seymour also comes close to greatness, but frequently dips into tantrum too much to hit the level of a Sephiroth or a Kefka.
To Zanarkand slaps, but the music in 10 is mostly forgettable.
As a day 1 hater, I could talk about all the things I dislike about 10 for hours, but I have to begrudgingly tip my hat to it for stellar combat. It really is one of the best final fantasys to PLAY, even if that doesn't translate into being one of the best to experience.
Lightning plains might be the worst designed area in any ff
Valefor is a dumb fuckin summon
