Final Fantasy X is the best game ever

Metro: "Every gamer has a game that they enjoy going back to. That one game which you can never lay to rest, well for me, that game is Final Fantasy X. Quite simply, it’s (in my opinion) the greatest game I have ever played."

PaleMoonDeath2821d ago

Not really, call me mainstream but FF7 is waaaaay beyond FFX.

LordMaim2821d ago

I don't know about being "mainstream", but I wouldn't say that at all. The plot of VII was a mess compared to FFX. FFVII was great mechanically, but from a story perspective it was disjointed.

On the other hand, while Final Fantasy X is a *good* game, and probably high on the list of the series, I certainly wouldn't call it the best game ever.

Your mileage may vary, but this is probably down to individual tastes.

FullmetalRoyale2821d ago

I agree with you. I played FF7 for the first time in 2012, and it dropped my jaw multiple times. FF8(the first one I ever saw played), and FFX(my first) are the ones that I have nostalgia for. The music, the menus, always make me smile. But honestly my experience with FF7 blew them out of the water.

Cy2821d ago

Lol not at all. That ending was garbage and no game with random battles is the "best game ever" IMO.

Movefasta19932821d ago

' ''it’s (in my opinion) the greatest game I have ever played." '

Cy2821d ago

Yes, and this is me disagreeing with that opinion. Saying "in my opinion" isn't some magic cloak against disagreement or criticism.

Movefasta19932821d ago

he said it's the greatest game he's ever played,and you said 'not at all' ...
So tell him what is the best game he's ever played.

quent2821d ago

I'd personally either go with Tetris or Pong

VerdicLinwe2821d ago

I'm not dignifying that article with a click on the site. But if that's his high bar, he's easy to please.

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow191d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga190d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183190d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB190d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo190d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic189d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

FFX and FFX-2 Do Not Need a Sequel

As a complete duology, Final Fantasy X and X-2 just do not need a sequel. These games provided us with satisfying conclusions to the characters' journeys and meaningfully wrapped up their arcs. And after the terrible way -Will- presented its narrative, feeling more like an attempt to capitalize on the previous game's success than a well-crafted and meaningful sequel, that's all the more reason to just let FFX be what it already is. Any further attempts to force a sequel will only diminish the legacy and impact of Final Fantasy X and X-2.

If they do another one, I'd really like to see more of a focus on the connection to FF VII. Since it was confirmed that they take place in the same world. Let's just keep the pop star element out of it for the next one... I really enjoyed X-2 as a game, but man that decision for Yuna and Rikku's character direction wasn't the right choice.

shinoff2183319d ago

The connection to 7 would be dope af. I can even begin to think how'd they do it. I mean storywise and stuff I know about the Shinra stuff and everything. I'd be down with a 10 3

-Foxtrot319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

Nope

https://www.finaland.com/?r...

It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously

"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote"

Thank God anyway

It's better when each FF is a different Universe

Snookies12319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

Except, it is canonically connected in the VII Remake. There's a Shinra character in X-2, who is actually shown in a picture on the wall in the Shinra HQ in Remake. Meaning at the very least, X and VII share the same world in the Remake version.

CrimsonWing69319d ago

@Snookies12

I thought they said that was just a joke:

―It’s a sequel to VII?!!
Kitase: “No, that was halfway a joke. However, in FFVII’s ending, Holy was supposed to settle things, then it’s suddenly ‘500 years later,’ and there’s been nothing like a sequel for it. There’s room to fill in that gap. There’s room for imagination. Since Nojima-san and Toriyama-san have worked together since then, talk that it could be possible with those staff members built up for a moment.”

―So, how did talk of it as a sequel to VII come up?
Nojima: “I felt that VII and X had a relatively connected feeling, that VII has an essence there.”

―Ehh, so VII and X are connected?
Nojima: “No, there isn’t much to it. For example, what happens when people die is fundamentally the same in my mind. I wrote both stories following the same idea. At times, other thoughts pop up, though. Pyreflies are green here and there, and other colors besides.”

I think they were just having fun and making a gag out of it.

Name Last Name319d ago

@Snookies12 those are just easter eggs

-Foxtrot318d ago

@Snookies12

Easter eggs man nothing more

Like I said it's better for them to have their own Universe then being connected

I mean think about it...FFVII and FFX are completely different outside of those small little things, the worlds are like Night and Day

Flawlessmic320d ago

Nope but I sure would love a remake of ffx, my fav ff game along with 9.

JokerBoy129319d ago

Oh man, never thought I'd see someone with the same favorites as me lol. We're supposedly getting a remake of 9 at some point. I'm hoping we get something new from the FFX universe.

shinoff2183319d ago

I cannot wait for the remake of 9. It's got me pumped and it's not even official. Ff9 is damn near perfect imo

Abnor_Mal319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

I just saw a video about a rumor that Sony may have secured the rights for FF9 exclusivity for some possible remake.

Skip ahead to the 2:30 mark

Okay didn’t see others already said it

gold_drake320d ago

but .. i dunno. ive always wanted a prequel with the three guys.

not sure what else there is to tell about Spira.

shinoff2183319d ago

Sorry for the spoiler if true

Is it true if you complete x2 100 percent tides comes back in some way. I never 100 percented it.

Name Last Name319d ago

Yes, the Fayth ask Yuna if she wants to see him and they dream him up again.

shinoff2183319d ago

Thanks. That pretty much what I read.
