"This is an sphere oscillor-finder, it affords us convenient TV reception of plot important things. No, I don't know how it works. For that matter don't know how this thing flies, either."

Maybe it was caused by a paradox.

Wakka: This is great. I can’t believe I’ve been travelling with an Al Bhed! A heathen!
Rikku: You’re wrong! We have nothing against Yevon.
Wakka: But you Al Bhed use the forbidden machina! You know what that means? Sin was born because people used machina!
Rikku: You got proof? Show me proof!
Wakka: It’s in Yevon’s teachings! Not that you’d know!
Rikku: That’s not good enough! Yevon says this, Yevon says that. Can’t you think for yourself?

As I focus on a few sidequests (a couple Celestial Weapons, the last Aeons, some Monster Arena hunting) before I head off to face Sin, here's my thoughts on the game.

This is a remake that did not need to exist, and barely does, anyway. Yet, replaying FFX, I have to re-evaluate my opinion on it and absolve it of a dubious distinction I've made about it in the past.

See how ominous and threatening Sin sounds if you just replace every mention of its name with "Giant Space Whale."

I have traveled across the land, searching far and wide... filling up the Monster Arena, that is, so I can purchase Clear Spheres and start grinding to maximum potential. One node at a time I cleared the Sphere Grid and remade it, these sections for Attack, these for Defense...

It went the most perfect of ways.

I hope the employee at Square Enix that thought up the lightning dodge minigame was sacked shortly after FFX released.

Probably Trolliyama the hack

Saw it for 13 bucks at EB yesterday, needed something to play with MMBN wearing thin and Pokemon Moon failing to engage. "Sure, why not."

To preface - I don't hate Final Fantasy X. IMHO, none of the main series (numbered) Final Fantasy are bad. But some are much less good than others. And this is the least good.

But will this remaster prove me wrong or will it vindicate my distaste?

Let the journey down the rabbit hole begin.

Because let's be honest, that night in the woods after escaping Belle, Yuna and Tidus did it. I'm serious. The music, the imagery, the kissing. It's my headcanon they screwed that night. Either way this is probably as close as Square Enix will ever come to actually showing two characters having sex.

I've got almost everything I need. I have Break HP Limit armor for everyone, and somewhere in the depths of the Omega Ruins the Great Malboros are living like kings off the hard-won millions of gil I forked over to them to pull that off. I have the Caladbolg and Godhand fully powered up, and that sadistic Chocobo Trainer in the Calm Lands can go jump off a cliff and be pecked at by her trained dive-bombing birds. I have maxed out the trio's Sphere Grid to the point I'm ready to grind out the

Thinkin' I may make this a daily thing as long as I have stuff to say.

Time to leave Besaid.

I'm going to cease the daily blogs, it's a pain, but I do intend to blog semi-regularly as I have thoughts to share. And here, I do.

So, if an Aeon can only be called by one summoner at a time...

*Yuna gets in random encounter, summons Bahamut*

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away...

*Summoner gets cornered by monster as his guardians are KO'd*

"I summon Bahamut! ... ... ... Well, shit."

Hmmmm.....

Frankly, once you actually know how to play the game, blitzball isn't bad. It's a bit boring and repetitive, and it does have one major problem besides, but it's fine. No, the problem is that the game developers sucked at introducing blitzball to you.
