FFX is embarrassing

**Wyborn** · 12-11-2007, 05:03 PM

So I just watched the laughing scene on Youtube, if everyone knows what I'm referring to. I've never been so ashamed to sit through something all the way through in my life.

I mean, is the rest of the game bad-ass enough to make up for the atrocious acting? I wanna play it but damn.

The video in question:

I never played FFX, on the grounds that Tidus looked like a major titty. This video only confirms my evil bias.

**Wyborn** · 12-11-2007, 05:32 PM

Found it that quick, eh?

HA HA HA HA HA.

**Crazyswordsman** · 12-11-2007, 05:32 PM

It's horrible. I don't even know why they put that. If it weren't for that one scene, that ONE scene, I'd like FFX more than I do FFVII.

Strangely, I have yet to hear Jay rant about this. -CSM

I agree that this game is embarrassing. I remember the scene where they're about to face Seymour for the first time, and Yuna says, almost laughably Captain Kirk-like, "I will fight you too!".

I still hate this game's voice acting, save for Auron. He still rules.

**Booyakasha** · 12-11-2007, 05:42 PM

HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!

What's the context, by the way? I mean, does that scene flow logically from preceding scenes, or is this more in the nature of a nonsequiter 'the writer fell over and hit his head on a rock' deal?

**Crazyswordsman** · 12-11-2007, 05:42 PM

And Larsa did a good Yuna impression. Not surprising, since both characters suck.

Auron's voice acting pwns everyone elses in the entire series, save any Bangaa, Balthier, Basch, or the Imperials from FFXII. -CSM

Galefore · 12-11-2007, 05:52 PM

I had forgotten that scene, but now have watched it again.

I wish it would have stayed forgotten.

Although, I still like the background music. Sort of brings back memories.

The sad part is I'm willing to bet this flows pretty natural in the context of the rest of the story.

HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH.

That should be our thing, man: whenever we agree on something we should just do that.

Galefore · 12-11-2007, 06:01 PM

It certainly is quite the little... Twist. But not a surprising one. A disgusting one. And the other characters agreed with the notion that the writers died and were replaced by chimps.

HA HA HA HA HA HA

Fine. If we ever agree on anything, we can mark the occasion by laughing maniacally at nothing. Creepy romantic subtext optional.

Sim Kid · 12-12-2007, 07:50 PM

The main reason I finished it was because I KNEW Tidus was going to die (Thanks to a spoiler I found) and I wanted so much to see him die. After that scene was when I wanted to stop. (Although it was mostly because of that mistake called the Sphere Grid)

You can even see they were embarrassed in the game - at 2:15, Auron, Wakka, and Lulu are standing there going "wtf?". I just imagined them saying "oh god, I can't believe he is coming with us..."

***ZeldaGirl*** · 12-12-2007, 08:02 PM

Yeah, I hated that scene. Which is a damn shame, because there are moments of Yuna/Tidus interaction I actually like, but the stupid game designers ****ed that up so bad. Lake scene - beautiful. Ending scene - touching.

Wy, there are several scenes (all mainly with Tidus) that make you cringe. But the awesomeness that is Auron totally overrides that. I say play it, overall, the game is quite good.

And then you have this crap...

I am nobody · 12-12-2007, 08:03 PM

Just as I was thinking it might be one RPG that I won't hate....

Galefore · 12-12-2007, 08:11 PM

^Try FFIX right the **** now.

RIGHT THE **** NOW.

***ZeldaGirl*** · 12-12-2007, 08:16 PM

What the hell is wrong with VGF? It just took my previous post and switched parts of it around...

Anyway, CSM:

Hey, I liked Larsa. And his voice actor was infinitely better than Yuna. And damn, that kid has the biggest stash of hi-potions EVAR.

**Perrin Aybara** · 12-12-2007, 08:56 PM

Yeah, there were large portions of FFX that were pretty embarrassingly horrible. But for a FF game, I thought the ending was an interesting twist. And overall, I liked the battle system (I loved being able to switch characters in wherever) and level up system (dear lord, the sphere grid looks like gold compared to the license board).

Overall though, I just don't have any strong feelings one way or the other about FFX. Which is why you don't see me ranting about it.

FFX's story was cringe-worthy a lot of times, but it didn't go out of it's way to piss me off like FFXII did.

Going off on a tangent for a moment...if only Square would make an RPG featuring a battle system combining the systems used in FFX and FFX-2. FFX-2 probably has the best battle system around, if it wasn't spoiled by the god-awful load times for switching jobs (why Square, why do you refuse to learn that people don't like seeing long summoning or casting scenes over and over again without the option of skipping them).

[Edit]

Oh yeah, and my only problem with Larsa was that he should have just been cast as a girl, since that's what I thought he was for a good half of the game.

Spoiler Below

This is worse than when Aeris died!

Okay, not really. I don't give a good **** about Tidus.
