I just couldn't help but get distracted by all the MMO stuff
It's a lifestyle more than it is a game at this point. There are people on there who, when I joined ahd already been playing the better part of a decade, daily, for hours. They literally just log in and just chill out in their home with their group. Occasionally they'll go get some limited-time event or something and just count the minutes until the next expansion XD
It's wild. I could never tell if they had jobs or what.
It's a fairly depressing game with an underlying theme of fighting against fate.
This is true. When I think back to it I get a much stronger sense of... Melancholy, when compared to pretty much every other game. There's not much in the way of glory at any point in the game.
I always did wanna try the Japanese but at the time I was all anti-subtitle. Plus, If there's one voice the Japanese can't beat, it's Seymour's XD
Seymour's actually pretty good in both versions. I think his theme really helped sell his personality.
FFX was pretty much just a struggle against what you were told the whole time was inevitable. There was no other solution. Yuna was dead. And even the solution Tidus came up with at the end just traded his life for hers. It made a weighted statement about the value of life and the price of overturning the way the world worked. But in that way it made me really appreciate Tidus and he sounds just as whiny in Japanese as he does in English so that was a big accomplishment by Square haha
