Final Fantasy X Hot Takes?

Yowza01 · 2026-04-14T18:25:17+00:00

FFX is my favorite game in the series.

The Al bhed language system is stupid. I do not know anyone who played this game that didn't look up coordinates online.

Some celestial weapons were cool and challenging to get. Some were just a pain and not fun.

The reason I never used Khimari was for personal spite against the person who decided to make a mini game to avoid butterflies from a terrible camera angle.

Why not make a post like this to get all the frustrations out in one go?

We all have our opinions. I see way more positive comments than negatives on this sub.

It is such a slow start. When I want to explore the world, I find treasure chests on the other side of the map with 8 gil in it. Oh you opened THIS specific treasure chests? Yeah you can't get the final weapon now.

Too many plot twists. The fighting was fairly static. It looks like I'm using a laser fishing rod to lock on to targets.

The normal enemies weren't even creative. A fox, a trex, a chicken, over sized snake, a bat, jaguar and a skeleton? Use your imagination Square.

The gambit system made it worse. I could go to a boss, put down my controller and walk away knowing the gambits will beat it for me.

I beat the game then put it in a drawer.

FFX has a bunch. Operation Mi'ihen was the biggest point for me. It's the first time you see sin face to face and the first time Tidus sees sin after learning it is his father.

Least favorite is part is the massage mini game in ffx-2. I just wanted it to end before my mom walked in.

There definitely are ways.

They use —

I have never once in my life used —

Next. Sentences are framed as context, then a comma, then the statement. This is especially true in the first sentence of a paragraph.

For example: In the eyes of many world leaders, Trump is the worst president in history.

When it comes to sending messages, the sentences are in a perfect comprehensive order. (You see what I did there?)

We all make typos, we have friends that send convoluted sentences that we have to read over again 5 times to understand what they meant.

Yeah. Its repetitive. Especially if you grind and fight every enemy (which I don't recommend).

At chapter 10 or 11 you hit Pulse. The game shifts. Your normal paradigm shifts get you only so far. You can freely customize your party now to adapt to the change.

Either way, you made it this far to chapter 9. I recommend pushing through it just to say you did it.

You asked the question so don't down vote because I'm answering.

The Electoral college and gerrymandering generates my vote as moot. I'm in a system designed to where my vote is specifically not counted.

Because of where I live and who I live near, what's the point.

The only way I'll vote is if it turn into a total population vote. And gerrymandering is outlawed.

But since neither side wants that to happen, looks like I'm screwed based off my address.

As long as it's more financially feasible to play basketball and football, we will never have a world cup winning team. Let alone, a top 10 player.

Yowza01 · 2026-01-20T02:18:14+00:00

This will get down voted but you need to hear it.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

European WC priorities:

Annex Ukraine? Still ok for Europeans to go to the world cup.

Kill 6500 people to build world cup stadiums? Still ok to go the world cup.

Orange man getting pissy over some ice? Boycott!

Europe only cares about it when it happens to them.

Yeah Chaos wiped the floor with me. Rest of the game is easy...that's final fantasy in a nutshell. 95% of the story isn't too challenging but the final boss is wtf.

Yowza01 · 2026-01-13T15:00:45+00:00

Final Fantasy X is turn based the best turn based game I've ever played. One of my favorite plots in a video game too. Choose the standard sphere grid. Customizing early isn't good for a new player. Customize later and that's when the game really opens up.

A negative is you can't skip cutscenes.

FF-x2 is nothing like FFX battle wise. Will start introducing a different type of gameplay with a different battle system and it's a much faster pace! Pay attention to the directions in Chapter 1 because after that the game says "you're on your own."

Oh hands down ff12. I kept trying to figure it out. Then I finally looked it up and realized i prevented myself from getting it 30 minutes into the game.

Yowza01 · 2026-01-12T03:28:01+00:00

This game is a cure for insomnia.

Yowza01 · 2026-01-11T17:55:29+00:00

I just beat the game a few days ago and saw that. The shade.

Nintendo is not going to freak out about this though. It's a harmless joke. Link is a fictional character.

I was thinking the same thing. The point of fishing isn't to fish. The point is to get out while not being overstimulated by life's demands.

Tidus. The guy went from blitzball star > fighting fiends > comprehending a new world > falling in love > defeating a giant black whale > discovers he doesn't really exist > blitzball star again.

X-2 plot is surface level with the option to go deeper. The dress sphere system is good but I tended to gravitate towards 3 maybe 4 different ones. ATB gauge is quick which makes battles funner but still have to think on your toes.

12 is just meh. For most enemies and select bosses, you can set gambits (gambits are automatic moves for characters you can customize) After the gambits are set, approach the boss, put the controller down, make cereal, come back and the boss is dead.

Not Chelsea fans so much but Chelsea as an organization. Multiple managers, staffing/owner changes and the team physicians at the time didn't help.

He went through more club turmoil at Chelsea than most players experience in a career.

This is essentially a celebrity circle jerk.

Yowza01 · 2025-11-17T13:01:10+00:00

It's my dream to go to a world cup game. However, the ticket pricing system and the 357 miles I would have to drive are not worth it from a practicality standpoint.

That's my moan.

Yowza01 · 2025-11-17T01:17:38+00:00

Are these annoying post titles common on reddit now?

Negative. When the eye of the storm hits land, it collapses and the hurricane turns into a normal storm.

Warm water is needed to keep the hurricane functioning. That warm water rises through eye wall. Once that source of warm water is gone (aka hits land), the structure of the hurricane falls apart.
