Even more incredible is that I never got into JRPGS until very recently. Funniest part is one of my childhood games was Lord of the Rings The Third Age. Loved that game. Imagine my surprise when I found out it played exactly like Final Fantasy X. If only I knew back then, I would've gotten into FF and into JRPGs long ago.
Funny because some ign reviewer said that kh2 was a rental game years ago

The only thing I don't like about it, is Tidus's dream in the beginning where he's with Yuna and Rikku on the dock in Besaid then Jecht shows up. I know what it's trying to convey about Tidus and Jecht but I feel like that could've been executed better or different. As a 26 year old man, that scene makes me cringe cuz its clearly the dream of a 17 year old boy like Tidus. If that wasn't only an or 2 hour into the story, I'd be a lot more open to showing ppl that game for it's story.

I actually do deny XII's story. It starts out strong, but like halfway through the story just kind of fades into the background. I remember on my first playthrough while I was scaling a snow mountain or certain I just suddenly had the thought "Why am I going here? I've been fighting monsters and going through dungeons for hours now, but what is the purpose?" I love the battle system and just roaming the world, but partway through the game cutscenes became sparse and it just felt like a game instead of a journey or adventure. When the ending came I didn't really feel any kind of way. Despite it being one of the longest played FFs for me, it's the only one besides III where I can't remember the ending just the final boss.

Really, i believe you can have a PS2 just to play all its RPGs, play it every week until now, and you will still have a considerable amount of backlog. Its just amazing how many good RPG released in PS2.

It’s a great game. The story isn’t all that great, but the voice acting and job system, as well as multiple side quests and hunts make it one of my favorite, if not my favorite, in the series. The remaster on any of the modern systems is the definitive way to play it as class specializations make everyone in your party unique to each other and there is a fun optional gauntlet-style mode that rewards you and lets you bring unique items into the main game.

It is literally the only FF game to this day (with the exception of the MMO's) that I have not played to completion. I just couldn't. It just wasn't very good. I don't understand at all how it got the #1 spot on this list. Literally, every other game on this list is better than it.

The story wasn't the best, but it was still good imo. Everything else in this game blew every other FF game before it out of the water tho. I wouldn't say it's the best FF game I've played, but it's definitely up there with VII and probably X.
