"FF10 - first impressions..."

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.

you know you CAN actually get the jecht shot if you didn't get it the first time...if you go onboard the ship on which the ball was (when you sailed to luca) later in the game you can try again

Well I managed to win I think 2-0 by only using the sphere shot. I didn't learn the Jecht shot.

Just to let you know that I finally did Seymore 1st time last night, hurrah! Had to sacrifice Ifrit, Valefore & Shiva before I could get him with Ixion on overdrive thanks to Yuna's Grand Summon.

Thanks for your advice, helped greatly!

The thing is, it took me ages to do Everea, but then I wasn't strong wenough to take on the guards at the weddding - HELP!!!

well if you're only doing the main story then you don't have THAT long to go....
i completed the game in about 35-40 hours (main story) but could forsee it taking a heck of a long time if i did everything (which i am doing now by starting a new game)

I'd say you're about a quarter of the way through, if you're planning on going to the hidden locations, killing the hidden monsters etc.

I remember thinking I'd nearly finished the game when my clock was on 30 or so hours. How wrong I was...

Where you could choose where to go, or te bit before and after Yuna's wedding?

Just started getting into it properly after exams, and really enjoying it - I've just started the airship bit - how far am I into the game? I've only been playing for about 27 hours...

I've just finished the main story, and I feel crap. THere's that empty feeling I've had only with games such as MGS and Zelda. What to do???

It also got me wondering - and don't read this if you haven't seen the game - could Tidus hear Yuna's whistles right at the end, when he was in the sea??? Just a thought.

You're right, Anima is a she. I have my sad, obsessed sister to thank for that snippet of comfirmation.
