Final Fantasy X is the best Final Fantasy to me.
It almost feels like going on vacation. The world is full of memorable places and they are special enough to give you this "vacation in another part of the world"-feeling.
The battle system is maybe the best JRPGs ever had. It works well, is fast and just complex enough to keep you entertained throughout.
But is also has some downsides. The characters. Yes, you heard me right. The characters.
I think Tidus is annoying. 70% of the things he says annoy me. His english voice almost gives me headaches.
Yuna is the emo girl (for a reason). This is tiring.
Wakka is (except Kimahri) the only character with slang. THE ONLY. Why? And his relationship with Lulu is just bad writing. Why would she (rational & intelligent) want dumb and silly Wakka as a partner? The brother of her passed away husband. So stupid and clearly there because of the silliness JRPGs use to have now and then.
And then we have Seymour. The "bad" archetype of JRPG-characters with his fancy hair and his almost feminine touch.
Rikku is loud, squeaky and a bit annoying, too.
Auron and Kimahri are fine with their oneliners.
And to top it all: Over here in germany we have english voices & subtitles translated from the japanese version of the game. So what they say and what the subtitle reads are different. Even names are different. This is bad. It pulls you out of the scene and out of the story.
Yeah.. and then there is Biltzball.. by far the worst side activity in every Final Fantasy Game. It's slow, sluggish and no fun at all.
But "enough" (as Auron would say) complained. FFX is aside from the reasons above maybe the best JRPG there is. And sometimes I ask myself why they can not replicate the "vacation"-feeling I had with FFX: Because there is only one FFX.One Final Fantasy they got the world "right". At least in my opinion.
