What pleased or dissapointed you about this game?
For me, it was only disapointments, no major pleasings.
Warning, if you dont want to know what happens in the game, please dont read, i give little stupid pices of info away.
What pissed me off about it:
For one, there were barely any cinematics, barely, to my recolection anyways, besides the spheres.
2. There is no way you can beat the game 100% on the first 2 trys. There probably is, but ive played the game 2 times, beaten it 2 times, and im only at 91% completion.
3. They revamped Blitzball.
This pissed me off, you cant play it anymore, only observe. Like your the manager. I really liked Blitzball.
( But there are 2 secret teams, one being the besaid Aurochs, and the other the Zanarkand Abes. You cant get the Abes on the first try though. To get them you need to get 100% completion, then win an invitaion through a tourny, then beat them in an exabition.)
4. Rare use of Chocobos. There is a way to get them on the Highland yes, but nobody uses them anymore...so sad..
5. They took out a few minor places. Why i care, i dont know, but it would seem to me that they should stay there.
6. THERE IS NO F****** TIDUS IN THE WHOLE GAME!!! Yes , it leads you to believe you will see him, but you dont.
UNLESS, you get 100% cmpletion.
7. Too many little confusing annoying dungeons to complete that take at leat a few hours each because they are so annoying.
8. No swimming.
Not one foot so much as enters playable/swimmable water. every part (excluding Besid, etc.) with easily accesable water, was removed. Example, inside Mount Gagazet.
9. Tobli.
What the hell is he? it? hes a midget with a duck bill, but it doesnt say if its a mask, or why hes so small, or if he is a different race. That confused me yep yep.
10. Only 3 characters. I would have liked it more if you could have Brother or Buddy. 3 seems like the bare minimum.
And lastly, the plot was ultimatly weak, the game was good, but it wsa like a mix of a FF game,a nd Charlies Angels. Too much "girl power" stuff.
(ther is this one part that confuses me. Near the end Shinra says " My last mission witht he gullwings." when you go to the spheres etc. But where the hell does he go? It didnt tell me. Maybe i missed it.)
What made me like it:
Non linear gameplay. You can take different paths every time.
Job system
Leveling up system ( they dont use spheres in this one)
The in battle sequence thing. You can attack whenever someone else attacks, or is being attacked. 'tis awesome IMO.
Thats my long rant, i'll be sure i'll have more to add when im not tired.
