Does FF X ever pick up?

So far, I am about 7 hours into Final Fantasy X. I have heard great things about it, and I am trying to give it a chance, but so far it has just been sort of "meh" for me. Does it get more exciting at all the more I play. PS - I just got past the High Plain or High Road, I think it was called.

yeah, your before the plot twists.

keep going untill the ice temple or so, then it really starts to pick up.

I beat more than half of game,

Didnt like it.

Well it's all about the story. And if the characters and story havent grabbed you yet I doubt they ever will. By that time in the game I liked all of the characters and was really enjoying the story.

FFX is my all time favoirte RPG but.... it's not for every one. If your not interested enough by now I'll would recomend you move on to another game.

Edit:

7 hours in... are you sure? You just got out of luca and on the Mi hen High road correct?

FFX is one of the best RPGs I've played on the PS2.dzms

yes it is :)

Wow you flying through the game at only 7 hours in. Anyway if your at that point and not liking it I would defidently tell you to give it up. Almost Sad to hear you dont like it. It's my favorite PS2 games. Played any other JRPG's that you liked?

its a matter of preference, i didnt like it too much but its not a bad game at all. tidus bothers mekingtahktahkhuk

Lots of people hate poor Tidus. Tidus is suppose to be a whiny kid, it's part of his character. But over time he slowly understands his situation and grows more mature as he comes to accept his fate.

While we're talking about characters.... Auron is a great character and I was quite surprised about how much depth the game gives him as the story progresses.

Actually I'm at about 9 and a half hours now. I will keep trying it for a few more hours. I really want to like this game; but I guess if I don't, then I can always give FF XII a shot. And, as for other JRPG's, I enjoyed Tales of Symphonia, Dragon Quest VIII (which I am still working on now), Okami (which I guess is more action/adventure), the Golden Sun Games (I don't know if they are JRPG's or just RPG's), and the GBA Final Fantasies. And, if I dislike this game, do you think there is any chance that I will enjoy FF VII, VIII, and IX?

7 hours and just getting to the high roads? Well thats pretty close to the begining of the game still, It will pick up alot as you go on. It gets really good.

I thought it started out really good, but it gets even better.

you should try 9 since it's more like the classics out of all the 3d FFs. The underlying principle of playing FF is the storyline. FFX was one of the best, so i doubt you would enjoy any of the other FFs.

Wow that just shows how differnet opinions can be. Dragn Qust 8 was really really slow. I put 45 hours into it and just stopped. As for going back to play other ff games it all depends. FFX was my first final fantasy and I went back to VIII and really enjoyed it, keep in mind the game is very ugly and there is no voice acting. At the end of the day I play RPG's for the story and VIII despite the dated graphics and sound had a interesting plot to kept me playing.

Oh and if you ask me FFXII is a terrible game. Talk about a game with a bland plot. Also th sound quality was no wear near as good in FFX the voice acting sounds muffeld, although I'll admit it seems I'm the only bloke that point's out the sound as a problem eveyone else thinks it's fine. Also although I dont come to RPG's for gameplay I'll admit I really hated playing FFXII. Hated the Gambit system.

My guess is you would like FFVII and FFIX by reading what RPGs u enjoyed so far

FFX is too formidable
