EPTThe one that I can never play again is FFX-2. Great gameplay, I love RPGs that let you switch jobs like that. But everything else... oh my god. It's too much. I remember when I first played it, I muted the intro song out of shame that my family would hear it.

I remember when I first played it, I muted the intro song out of shame that my family would hear it. haha same. I remember me and my sister bought X2 and brought it back to play in the living room with my dad watching. The whole game was just weird, and when the three girls did that pose with the letters Y R P on the bottom it was just too much. It was like some corny K-pop movie. And Riku keeps saying poopie.... I like the combat system though. X-2 is the only FF game I've ever owned, I played FF7 at my cousin's and it was fun. Is there something like an optimal combination for the three? I usually put Yuna as black mage, Riku as warrior(until I get dark knight), and Paine as white mage. Should I switch around their garments during battles more? I've been experimenting with starting Yuna as the dance/singer to buff up everyone, then switch to mage or gunner. | ||

What kind of accent is that anyway, yeah? Oh, and how he ends a ton of sentances with yeah, yeah? Hated Wakka >_< Kimahri was sick though, probably one of my favorite FF characters of all time | ||

So what I'm trying to say is, when I was playing FFX I loved it the best. When I was playing FF12 I loved that the best. LOL. All games were fun in their own aspects. FF12 had the fun real-time battle system, FFX had the revolutionary graphics, FF9 had this cute old-fashioned touch, FF8 had this mature-lovestory charm for kiddies, FF7 had a fantastic story... I have yet to play FF13 but I'm sure it'll be awesome too. | ||

I feel bad for younger gamers that haven't and probably won't ever play it, or those who get turned off by the older graphics and won't give it the try it's worth. I agree with your original assessment about FFX. I don't care if Tidus is realistic or believable. He sounds irritating and whiny. And the whole plot revolving around his dad who somehow managed to become a monster and destroys cities against his own will... wtf it's all so stupid. I'll take Sephiroth over that any day. | ||

It's usually true though that in translations they attempt to create/change characters into things that Western audiences will be more comfortable with | ||

Rofl I was half way through your last line and I swear I was going to answer you and finish my line with dattebayo. Ninja'd by the very post I was reading T_T. | ||

Also one of Auron's most iconic lines from the English dub, "Every story must have an ending" is much more powerful than the Japanese counterpart「お前の話は終わらない」 ("Your story won't end"). | ||

I never beat it  not that into rpgs but i gave up fighting sin on the top of the ship.The one where he just powers up and you have to kill him before he finishes. Pretty sure you have to grind a little bit to beat that. | ||

(oh god that laughing scene) Oh my god.... I still remember thinking wtf is my sound broken? I'd like to play it in the original Japanese with subtitles, because Tidus' voice was pretty damn annoying and whiny. Doubt I'll end up doing it though. | ||

i do agree with the guy that says subtitles take away from the action. one day i decided to watch j-drama/anime without subtitles, in japanese. it was a world of difference. it feels like you actually focus on screen and pick up on everything. unfortunately i didn't know half the stuff they were saying. i used to be of the school that japanese voices were so much better, but after spending a lot of time watching japanese tv, i'm not convinced anymore. it's very, very stereotypical sounding, and i'm starting to understand why english dubbing seems exaggerated; because it's that way in the original. as for ff10, i really enjoyed it. there was something really fun about it, and i really liked the story and some of the symbolism behind it. i thought it had the best ending of all the FFs. (it was so good i was pissed when they announced 10-2.) there are ridiculous moments though. like wakka throwing a blitzball off the ship to hit Sin. | ||

The music is absolutely incredible; it's the only game I've ever downloaded the soundtrack to. I get so much nostalgia just hearing it or watching it.

If you like a completely useless whining character (cloud) a really boring just completely insane bad guy (sephiroth) and a horribly boring system to define your characters (materia) then yeah ff7 is the best rpg of all time. Being a dick aside, the soundtrack is amazing, but having played ff7 as a kid and fft right next to eachother, final fantasy tactics not only has more engaging gameplay, but a better storyline and more interesting characters. (Except nanaki, oh god is nanakis story awesome and sad :X) (Also, I still play both FF7 and FFT to this day, I'm currently on disk 2 of like my 20th playthrough of 7, and chapter 3 on FFT) | ||

I never really thought to attribute these problems to localization though. Thank you OP for broadening my perspective  . | ||
