o/~ Wank... of ages... o/~

Back in March of 2003, after the opening FMV sequence for the Japanese version of Final Fantasy X-2 hit the net, I went and found the lyrics to the song, real Emotion, translated them, and posted them to my [info]portal_o_normal community.

Now, say what you will about the game. It's not my place to tell you what to like and what not to like. And so I don't. I don't say anything about the game itself in my post, AT ALL.

( Any yet almost one full year later, the wank still sprouts... )

[ Contains POSSIBLE MAJOR SPOILERS for FFX/FFX-2 ]

We've got a bunch of anons here, none of whom apparently know how to REPLY to things properly, wanking philosophical about the pros and cons of Final Fantasy X versus Final Fantasy X-2, hotly debating why one or the other either is or is not teh_suck.

The result is a long, perpetual, repeating, erm... 'thread' (can it even be called that?) full of netspeak, flames, stupidity, and much, much, much wank and pointlessness.

My big question is: how are these wankers even finding this damn thing?

Hell if I know.

Anyway, I think FFX (and X-2) was the best Final Fantasy yet and that says a ton considering how much I clinged to FF 3(or six). They're not without flaw, especially not X-2(too easy, not enough playable characters, some annoying mini games), but both games got to me a great deal and very few games really do that.

Then again, FFX-2 has my precious Baralai(who I honestly think is among the best characters in the entire FF series), so maybe I'm a bit biased. HEEE!

Amen! Preach on.

Yeah, it really rubs me raw when folks whine about how "THEY TRUNED TEH LADY YUNA ITNO LARA CROFT!!!!!111" or "OMG CHARLIE'S ANGELS LOLOL!" It's like, "Hey, fuckwit. Did you even play the game? And if you did, did you play past the opening sequence? No? Then shut the fuck up and don't rag on my game, assmonkey."

You hear that popping sound? It's the sound of my brain cells committing ritual suicide as my fandom becomes even more wank-tastic.

Nope.

FFIX kicks major ass, but there are only about five people who feel that way.

Then again I like ALL the Final Fantasy games, each has their own strengths and weaknesses but I've always had fun playing them.

~All we are sayinggggg, is give games a chanceeeee~

That would be because FFIX happens to be one of the better Final Fantasy games, as it didn't take itself too seriously.

FFX & FFX-2

I'm just going to have to love you for a while for translating that. *loves for a while*

That being said, I'm a huge fan of FFX and FFX-2, but I certainly don't think everyone should have to love it! To be honest, part of what I liked about FFX-2 was what these other people hate - it's girly and rips off Charlie's Angels and Tomb Raider in really humorous ways. I mean, did you see their pose at the end of Chapter Two? I about split my sides laughing! (And I like Yuna with some attitude, thankyouverymuch! Even the sweetest girls grow up.) Now I just wish they'd do a main Final Fantasy with a female main character.

Dear Santa, All I want for Yule is a Final Fantasy game with a female main character with two possible males for her love triangle. Please make the boys cute. Sincerely, Deoridhe.

IMO, this was one of my favorite aspects of the game. It's been two years, things are really different, and so of course Yuna's going to have changed! And the way I see it, they made her grow into a strong-willed woman with a bit of an edge, and, by the end of FFX-2, not only is she a different person than she was at the beginning of FFX, but the process of her changing is believable. That, too me, is quality storytelling and character development.

I kinda wish we got more Paine, though. She's just too cool.

My favorite part was the guy who basically said, "You can't possibly be a Squaresoft fan, because if you were you'd see that Square can do no wrong!!"

*raises eyebrow at the dusty Chrono Cross sitting on my shelf*

I haven't played FFX-2, but I did hear what they did to one of my favorite characters from X, Isaaru, and that makes me weep.

Actually, I liked what they did with Isaaru. If you make sure to hound him throughout the game and finish his little 'sub-subquest,' he gets redeemed in the end.

Ahh, Final Fantasy wank. It never, ever ends. =)

Now, call me a sheep, but I liked all of the FF games I've played - all but 2j and 3j, but yeah. They're fun stuff. Sure, there may be infuriating minigames (*cough*FFXchocoboracing*cough), but...yeah. I'm sounding like a dork now. ;)
In any case, back on topic (kinda). I like FFX-2. It has Leblanc. And Leblanc just makes the world right.
