Not just the greatest Final Fantasy. Not just the greatest JRPG. But also the greatest game on PS2, period.

Sell this game to me as someone who's only played the 80's and 90's FFs.
>>11985021a bit overblown but when i think of ps2 games, this is one of them i immediately think of. the others are GTA3 and MGS2.
>>11985067It has actual turn-based combat like DQ and early FF
Shit storyShit charactersCringe dialogueShitty reskins of the same mosters everywhereMeme skill treeWorthless side quests/mini gamesHonestly it's just so unengaging. The world aesthetic is "different" I guess, the music is solid, combat is ok. But to say that it's one of the best FFs, or even THE best is just completely incomprehensible to me. The reskins just make the random battles so much more of a slog, and the story... Remember the bit about the lion man, whatever his name is, and how he's bullied for having a little horn? That, and many other parts of the story, must have been written with literal children in mind. X was a very clear dip in quality compared to the previous games and the start of a steep decline of the quality of the series as a whole.
>>11985021Yuna and Rikku being annoying whores is reason enough for to knock this game down 2 or 3 levels from being good.
This was awful. It felt all cramped and small, no matter the scene. Plus if you didn't like the water ball mini game? Well too bad it's critical to getting certain shit.
I preferred bully
>>11985021>best FF6,7,8 are all better, though I can concede X has the best story and battle system.>greatest jrpgone of the best but nah.>greatest ps2 game low bar but true.
>>11985326just dont use wakka. also if you save scum the league prizes theres barely any blitzball you have to play to get his shit, and using jecht shot makes winning trivial. took me like 90 minutes of blitzball start to finish to get everything for his ultimate weapon. Id much rather do all that again then dodge 200 fucking lightning bolts in a row.
>>11986073actually I take it back, V has the best battle system. and VII has a slightly better story and execution but X is a close second place in each category.
>>11985021What is higher praise: greatest JRPG, or greatest PS2 game?
>>11985021Yeah, No.
>>11985035KH2 fucks.
>>11985021But also not just the greatest game on PS2, but also the greatest GOAT of all time
>>11985021FFX is the worst game in the series. It's what destroyed Final Fantasy.
