What's your opinion on Final Fantasy X's storyline and script?

I've heard good things about the Final Fantasy series and how it is known for its amazing storylines. I played III DS and XII. Both sucked. Then I picked up X and actually liked it. But I have a huge gripe...

How can people tolerate such horribly mush and horribly stupid dialogue? I admit that the storyline is interesting with Sin and all. I actually am only twelve hours into the game so I don't know what happens, but the dialogue really just ruins it. It seems like all of Square Enix's games are like this, as in Kingdom Hearts II when that guy says, "We totally owned you lamers!"

Final Fantasy X has a lot of stupid moments. Like when Yuna tells Tidus to laugh and he starts making that weird-*** laugh that sounds like a goat getting slaughtered. Then they both start laughing and Wakka questions if they are going insane. It really made me facepalm myself, along with all the mushy exchanges between Tidus and Yuna. It just makes me shake my head and go, "This is so lame, unrealistic, and Tidus should just do the multicolored eye girl and be done with it already!"

Kingdom Hearts II had this problem, too. Like I said, I haven't finished Final Fantasy X yet, but even Kingdom Hearts II overall story felt a lot better to me. I mean, it had me hook when Roxas found out *SPOILERS!* that he didn't exist. *END SPOILERS!* This one is good, too, but it's all too familiar and generic. Blitzball is lame.

I know a lot of people may disagree with me and find my opinion to suck, but this is just what I thought. I still like the game, and it has a good turn-based battle system, but some of these stuck out to me like a sore thumb. And this is the second most highly regarded Final Fantasy game, it seems.

What say you?

Yeah, there are a lot of moments like that in FFX. I always find that the most interesting characters in FF games are the members of the party that don't really get talked about that much in comparison to the main guys. I always thought Auron was easily the coolest guy in FFX.

The dialouge does get pretty stupid at times, but every once in a while there's an awesome line that makes up for it. And the story gets more interesting the deeper you get into it.

Overall it's a pretty awesome game.

yuna was pretty hot though :PSaintsRowSam

Agreed. Her eyes really bothered me, though.

It's like having one half of your body being completely white and the other being completely black. I'm not talking about mud-bloods/half-breeds, either. I mean it how it is.

wrong forum but oh well.

FFX is my all time favorite. I beat it when I was like 13 so I didn't really mind the dialogue.

I replay it now and again and I'm 18. I notice how corny it sounds, but it's still a beautifully story, and well narrated. It's really not that bad, just as tolerable as any hollywood movie if you ask me.

Give em a break, SE still has some work to do with their voice acting people. If you look at Final Fantasy 12 though, you notice they improved.

FFX was decent. Yuna was a bit boring but that's the only complaint I have.

Final Fantasy X is a mixed bag. A few interesting concepts. Some horribly failed executions.

Final Fantasy X falls into the same traps that 90% of all other RPGS have "The save the world" storyline.

It's probably the most overused video game cliche ever. I'm so sick of it.

I actually met someone once who had two different eye colors. It was a little distracting.

Final Fantasy stories are traditionally some of the greatest disguised peices of crap ever to grace the genre. Usually they start out with good production values and an interesting plot, but they quickly devolve into standard archetypes that aren't very original. For all that FFX's story does right, and without any spoilers, it devolves by the end of the story to be incredibly passee. BIG [spoiler] Luke, I am your father [/spoiler] Vandalvideo

I guess I'm one of the millions of fools who fell for a crap story in disguise.

FF 6 and FF 7 disagree(especially FF 6, that story was incredibly different to me) IMO.

FFX. Worst main character, worst voice acting, worst story of any game ever

The battle system and and bad guy were crap as well.

My favorite FF game and in my top 5 games of all time.

Story blew me away, freakin love that game.

At first, I thought that her eyes played a big role in the game... I thought they were somehow important, but now I realize that that is just ridiculous. :P

Yeah, I'd imagine that to be distracting. I don't know if I've ever met anyone like that... I don't think I have. I've met a person with one pupil bigger than the other, though.

The dialoge are a little corny at times, but the rest of the game makes up for it.

It's my most favorite RPG on a console.

You do realize that every main installment of FF is AAA on gamerankings and all have been insanely popular.

But you, you are the one who's figured it all out?

Everyone likes different FFs, but is it so hard to respect the ones you don't like?

Now I have to know what your idea of a decent story in a game is. I'm one of the many people that believe that a lot of FF games have some of the most solid storytelling in any game ever.

Gee iono, it's only the cumulative average of all published game critics. Of course you'd probably respond, "why would i care what they think?," which really, defeats the very purpouse of creating another random opinin thread about a game you feel isn't as good as people say.

but please, make your thread explaining how this 15 year old game is overrated.

I like FF X, but Kingdom Hearts II wasn't as good as the first one...Rikusaki

The combat system in the first one was slower paced and at times felt drawn out. Also, the storyline wasn't as good.

I never did finish it. The first time I played it was at my friend's house when it first came out. I didn't have a PlayStation 2 at the time, just a GameCube, so never bought it. I forgot about it until the time when I bought the second one. After being number 2, I played number 1, and it just felt like a major step backwards. I don't know... The storyline just didn't interest me as much as the second one. Plus, the lack of Roxas sucked!

They never will mention the eyes, it's just one of the things you have to think about. Look at an al-bhed's eyes, then look at Yuna's.

FFX's story is good. Not great but the game as a whole is just amazing IMO.
