Did you not play X?
I did - PS2 versions and I own the PS3 version.
Its just I didnt start rating games until after 2010 and I finished FFX way before that.
When I finish FFX/X-2 on PS3 , I'll rate the PS2 versions alongside it. I'm also thinking about getting the PS4 versions but only when its dirt cheap and on PSN. I'm also gonna buy the games on Steam eventually in the future when they are like $10 or less.
Same thing with XII except I'll be getting the PS4 remaster day 1
what on earth did you like so much about it? I know a fair amount of people scored it around 9/10 or higher but I'm curious what your reasoning is. I think I settled on a score of 70/100 for it
Here's the pros and cons from my review (I think I may missed a few but here's what I mainly remember
Pros+Great and engaging combat system
+Great character interactions and cutscenes
+Fantastic OST that also consists of songs from different FF games
+A lot of fanservice for those that have a long history and nostalgia of the game series through items, monsters, etc
+Very lengthy, takes about 45 to 50 hours to complete at normal mode
+Consists of a lot of sidequests, hunts and optional dungeons which increase replay value
+New Game+ is available
+Multiple difficulty modes
+Decent number of mini games such as Justice monsters and fishing
+Social media options such as uploading photos taken
Cons-Magic system and summon system are not as great as previous FF games (summons are done rarely and magic you create or combine with items/elements)
-A lot of plot holes and off screen events between characters
-Major storyline involving major characters tied to DLC
-Some glitches occur where it prevents you from completing a sidequest
-Plot is weakly explained through NPCs which you have to get near and is at random at some parts alongside a lot of reading some items on throughout the game's locations
-A lot of updates which can be annoying especially if you are playing through the game and it changes something drastically.
-Driving mechanics are horrible and are on rails
-Some visual aspects look like last gen (PS3 gen or even from PSP gen)
-Some voiceovers are hard to understand due to music playing over the conversations
-Special events such as Chocobo Moogle Carnival, can only be accessed at certain times during event periods
I know that is a lot of cons but the pros outweighed for the most part except when it comes to the overall story. Still salty on how the story turned out and how some major plot points are tied to DLC....
ALSO - they had a survey in the last update which asks you to vote for what you want to see for the future, with a list of all sorts of stuff you would think they would put in the game but guess what? They will release them accordingly to the number of votes.
Stuff included are additional storylines for each character, playable characters that include Aranea, Cor, etc. Hard mode, Amiriger skills and stat boosts.
I guess its gonna be another year or two before FFXV becomes "Completed".
This makes me put off from buying the Season pass on PSN. fudgy Squareenix.
I'll be buying the PC ver when it gets all the content and when its about $10.
