Fuck this piece of shit

the glass shatter sound every time was too annoying

>I hate soul: the thread

>"dude trust me this is the best FF, it's a classic"
Yes, that's right
>no dungeons
Salvage Ship, Via Purifico, Cavern of the Stolen Fayth, Zanarkand Ruins, Inside Sin, and Omega Ruins and because I know you're going to be a complete dipshit and insist that dungeons need to be "indoors" to qualify as dungeons in this genre even though I've got several DnD campaigns with outdoor dungeons sitting here
>inb4 moved goalposts
6 > 0 faggot
>next to no optional areas
2 completely optional dungeons and lots of areas only accessible by airship on top of a ton of areas off the beaten path in any location. Regardless there are an absolute fuckton of sidequests in the areas that you can visit, and fully completing Belgemine's sidequest will take you about 10 hours out of your way exploring the entirety of the game.
>no reason to even backtrack
Blitzball recruits, Celestial weapons, tons of NPC dialogue that changes, monster arena, dialogue with Fayth in each temple with unlockable items, Valefor's second overdrive, Jecht Spheres, and if you're playing Int'l; Dark Aeons
>no airship travel, only a list of locations
And? Legend of Dragoon was just a bunch of places you can pick on a map. So was Lost Odyssey and a billion other games in the genre. Heavens forfend they do something different after doing the same shit for 9 games. But even Final Fantasy Tactics was the same shit and no one complains.
fewest amount of towns and NPCs in the series before
Again, I will point you to FFT
>linear as shit
As was the entirety of the series. FFX is about as linear as the first 20 hours of FFVII
>only side content is bullshit like dodging lightning 200 times or capture every monster 10 times
already demolished your ass above
>Cue the delusional idiots claiming FF was always this way
You're a retarded nostalgia-fag if you think FF games were anything but linear. FFX toed the line though and XIII crossed it; they wanted to make Gears of War with XIII, not an FF game.

FFX was when Final Fantasy peaked in its every aspect.

XIII has skippable cutscenes, no stupid shit like the trials and has a way more interesting combat than X. Also, the plot doesn't pretend to be interesting like X does just to drop ball hard at the end, XIII plot is shit since the start so at least you don't feel betrayed with some blunder end.

you played X after XIII, haven't you

Why would anyone care about any of this shit lmao

It is shit. Its also the reason we ended up with XIII.

Based.

*tidus laughter*

Thats what makes X great for new people to try.

You do realize half of what you mention wouldn't even be categorized as content in any other FF games, right? How the fuck is Zanarkand Ruins a dungeon considering it's the same corridor as it always was? That you even mention celestial weapons as something to be mentioned when the result is to go through shitty minigames or farm monsters is showing that you are beyond delusional.
Might as well say Uncharted has content because you can replay levels to get artifacts. I'm sure it holds up against Triple Triad, Hunts, Chocobo Hot & Cold, the fuckton of actual optional dungeons that the series had.

>Playing FFX for the first time in 2020
Fuck off zoomer.

>How the fuck is Zanarkand Ruins a dungeon considering it's the same corridor as it always was?
>takes over an hour to get through
>2 challenging boss fights, 3 if you count the one at the very end of Mt. Gagazet
>Fun puzzles
>not content
it's not worth it arguing with you goalpost shifters
I guess every dungeon in FFXIV isn't a dungeon either.
Dungeons don't need to be labyrinths or non-linear.
>shitty minigames
Chocobo racing and Blitz are fun as fuck, not my fault you suck at them. I did Lightning Dodging on my second try, the only one I had a real problem with was Butterfly Catching. You bitch about linearity, but Qactuar hunting gave you a reason to explore. What more do you want?
>farm monsters
The combat in FFX is the best example of CTB in the genre outside of SRPGs, so going out of your way to farm monsters for unique rewards and to take on grueling superbosses was actually one of the most fun aspects of the game.
>Might as well say Uncharted has content because you can replay levels to get artifacts.
Yes? Have you heard of replay value you fucking autist wtf

Sounds like most of your preconceived notions of what a FF should be are what's keeping you from enjoying the game when the only common thread between games was a simplistic combat system and DUDE CRYSTALS to varying extents in the plot.

This game resonates in my memory as the downturn of final fantasy games. It was so bad I turned it off. Every FF after this one also proved itself such a horrible disappointment I ceased buying them altogether.

It’s the best game of all time, KYS zoomer

ffx is garbage on par with ff13, and has no redeeming qualities

Fuck off millennial shitters

>takes over an hour to get through
It takes an hour because of the cutscenes playing. It takes less than 10 minutes to go through it otherwise. I don't know why you are lying this much, the same fucking layout is in FFX-2 and you go through it almost immediately

Preconceived notions that a RPG should act like a RPG and not a glorified visual novel? If I wanted to read a book or watch a movie i'd do that

Yes, then played X-2 and that one did a way better job. First, it actually tries to give you enjoyable side content, second the plot doesn't try to be anything special but actually delivers some good emotional scenes here and there without being forced, X emotional scenes were forced as fuck. The combat is also better and you're allowed to turn off some animations, something pretty unique for a FF game.
The only thing I like about X is the sphere grid, seems broken as fuck to try some fun runs but I can't tolerate anything else about the game so I will probably replay the game again.

I think X didn't age well in terms of how impactful it was, even the game's case tells you about how the game is fully voiced and other technical aspects, these was a pretty big deal back in the early ps2 days but now is just an standard, is nothing special.

>It takes an hour because of the cutscenes playing.
If you somehow both manage to run from every encounter and roidgrind your characters for the bosses beforehand sure.

You have Asperger's.

>pretending like you're missing what he's saying this bad
The cutscene to gameplay ratio of FFX is about the same as the 3 games that came before it and is only less than one non-mmo game that came after it

By that metric, every area of FFX is a dungeon because there is a boss at the end. Macalania Forest is a dungeon too. Mihen highroad too, why not throw Besaid in there if you're at it.
