A little disapointed to be honest. I know i have only played it for an hour and a half so far, but to be honest at the moment it doesnt feel like i have done anything apart from watched with a little bit of walking and really really easy fights in between.
For me, its not started off at all like any of the previous games, they seemed to throw you into the action straight off, you got to actually do some playing while the story got off to a rushing start, this game hasnt done that to me yet, and this is one of the most important parts of the game.
You have to say that a game really needs a good begining to get things up and running, FF10 starts pretty slow....then with the blitzball scene it gets really good and im starting to think im back in FF, them something strange happens and the game just slowed down again.
Its not all bad, im intrigued to find out whats happening next, and it does seem to be building to something big, its just that, well, i think the graphics may have gone to Squares head at the minute, so far i havent played, i have watched, i hope its starts to improve in that aspect soon.
Got to say though, the graphics and character animations are very nice indeed, but still, a little more play would be nice sometime soon.

Strange. I can't remember what she said at all. I can't even remember what the point of her speech was. :-D

Finished FF10 today, and i have to say that i dont think the ending was half as bad as what some of you lot made out. Coming into the ending scene i was expecting something short and not at all that rewarding, how wrong was i. I thought it was one of the best ways to end the game to be honest. Ill try not to use spoilers (but if you havent finished it yet dont read on) but i thought the 'sad' ending when Tidus disapears was perfect for the game, and the way it was done in that scene was pretty amazing, along side Yunas final speach...i dont think any words in a game have stuck with me quite as much as her final words.
As for Tidus at the end of the game coming to the surface, ok that was left a bit open, but surely i think we can all agree thats its more than likely that hes back where he wanted to be, in his world. Still, if these add ons come out (which i hope they do) we could be totally proved wrong...but i dont see what they could do to the story where its left off.
In all though, it was one of the best FF's i have ever played and no doubt ill play again. Brilliant ending in my mind.
Now to FF four, five and six.....

Not necessarily. I can destroy Dark Ifrit without even summoning any Aeons and the only one of my characters with Break HP Limit is Wakka (with 20,000HP).

With the Dark Aeons you've just got to be pretty much be over 200 with all your stats and over 50,000 HP to stand a chance, there's not much advise unless you want to use Yojimbo all the time (but that's kinda cheating) just get 'em everything you've got.
You have to got to Remiem temple (secret one off the the east of Calm Lands - use a Chocobo, there's a feather on the ground) and beat all of the woman's (can't remeber her name) Aeons. After beating Bahmut you'll get the Blossom Sceptre. Go towards the door to the Chamber of the Fayth and use both Crown and Sceptre on the seal - you cam now get the Magus Sisters!
Get the rusty swor from the left of the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth (you've got it already, right?) then go to the Musroom Rock Road (be careful of the dark Magus Sisters there) and go to the right where the path forks (not inside where you had to go earlier). About half way down the path there's a little inlet, go in here and use the lift to get to the statue.
Out the sword in front of it the touch the glyph on the wall, you'll get Auron's Celestial Weapon.
Phew....

Well since FF7, 8 and 9 are considered so good and FFX IS so good, I'd be fairly happy to have remakes of FF7, 8 and 9. After all, I'm not really a fan of this online stuff for consoles. That's for PCs and it should stay that way. I never got to play any previous FF game properly anyway, so I'm all for the remakes.
Oh crap, the FFX ending was pretty rubbish.
But, on the upper I think it's intentional leavuing it off like that. Especially with Tidus surfacing after the credits.
Roll on the Yuna and Rikku add-ons.
(I believe)

What could they do to it anyway? The story would surely have to stay the same.
they announced the remakes A LONG TIME ago...but as we can see they haven't appeared yet...and i have a feeling they won't ever appear cos at the moment they have to sort out the bugs for FFXI and they'll probably focus on FF12 etc
