FFXI and 12 have entered the chat.
XI is a mmo STILL played to this day. It is my favorite game of all time. You may not like mmorpgs but being a ps2 console mmorpg with cross play to pc back then is monumental stuff. I have friends I made on that game I have to this day I chat with weekly.
And 12 while it isn't perfect is one of my most revisited games in the franchise. It takes some of the best parts of XIs combat to put it into a SP formula.
Then the remaining games after are all questionable. I find them all good but they never get to the greatness of 12 and prior.

And to think, "To Zanarkand " was intended for something else! After it was written, it was deemed "too sad" for its purpose and shelved. And in the end it was perfect for FFX.
It is an offline MMO, which is why it is bad. Why randomize chest contents? Why does the archer character have the worst bow dps, and the gun character have the worst gun dps? Why are the player characters interchangeable, other than the prior mentioned secret flaws? And why is the best items in the game locked out of access if you open any of three unmarked treasure chests several chapters ago? Why have daggers that are clearly designed for dual wielding and then have no dual welding in the game? Why is the puzzle dungeon entirely luck based and you have no control over the outcome other than reset the machine and reload?
It might be fun for those who like MMOs, but people who like single player games expected better. i am not interested in READING about the story, i want to be involved in it.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
The HD remaster runs great on the Steam Machine, just sayin'It's so good! I need to do another playthrough soon. I never beat it

Sad but true. X series was the last time square actually managed to write good stories with compelling characters. Sorry Matsuno I know you tried but XII was still meh.

That game was the end of an era. I never played a JRPG afterwards that came close to how magical FFX or the JRPGs that came before it were.
It's not because I was a kid when I played them. I played story heavy video games in my adult years that were incredible too. I just think JRPGs peaked around this time. It's amazing how unique FFX's tone and setting still feels to this day.

Sorry to be that guy, but I think X is the most overrated game in the series.
The writing, direction, and characters are retarded. This game was the first time I ever felt embarrassed by the shit coming out of the TV. I had some good fun making fun of Tidus with my roommates at least.
I also hate the battle system. The ONE strategy, beginning to end, is "swap in whichever party member can hit the enemy's weak point" and that shit is tedious and boring as hell. Plus they made it so anyone who takes at least one action in battle gets the full AP, so you're constantly swapping around just so your party members don't leave AP on the table.
IMO it's the second-worst of the post-PSX mainline FF games (16 being the worst).

Last good FF was 12 and before that the glory that is XI and the entirety of Vana'diel.
And given XII is part of Ivalice by default both FF Tactics and Vagrant Story are included in the fantastical world that is Ivalice.
Anyone that disagrees is just too high on Magicite to be capable of rational thought.

If anyone was wondering this trailer is primarily meant to promote the FFX/X-2 Remaster release for Switch 2.
On a positive note X-2 has the best pure turn based system to date in the FF series.

The Tidus at the start of the game and the Tidus at the end of the game are 2 very different people. Tidus is actually a fantastic character and how he is written. He actually shows growth throughout the game. I assume you never got very far, right?

I love Final Fantasy X, it is one of the most special games I've ever played, but this trailer...
While all of those are memorable scenes from the game, they could have made something more, like, remake those scenes with modern animation.

FFXII was a masterpiece. How dare you.

I'm not talking about his character arc. I'm talking about how it's written and delivered.
The writers don't know how to write anything except corny infantile melodrama. His whole schtick for the early part of the game is to loudly proclaim his idiocy at every opportunity so that everyone else has an excuse to dump lore on you. That has to be the lamest possible way to write an isekai character.
Plus his voice is whiny, he looks dumb, and his animations are comically exaggerated. Every cutscene he's wildly flailing around like a clown.
(and I beat the game FWIW)
