I should probably preface by saying I’m really enjoying the story. Music is great too, but it’s Uematsu so I don’t need to go into it.
The story is really engaging and hooks you right away. The CG cutscenes are well spread out and every time you see one, it captivates your interest and leaves you wanting to know more, but here’s where my main issue with the game lies.
The story and cutscenes keep pulling me in, but then as soon as we cut back to gameplay, I’ll audibly go “oh…”. I just can’t stand the gameplay. It’s so boring, and I’m halfway through the game. I know it’s not the fact that it’s turn based since I just finished DQ11 and loved it. I really wanna know more, but I just feel like I’m not having fun when I’m in gameplay, which is the majority of the game.
I do feel like I’ve come away with something though. I don’t have to play every game. It doesn’t matter how much everyone else likes or hypes up a game, I don’t have to feel the same way. If I’m not having fun, I can just leave. Maybe I’ll just watch the cutscenes on YouTube or something, but I don’t have to force myself to play something I’m not enjoying. With how many games are coming out, and how many other things I’d rather be doing in my free time, I don’t have to play things I don’t like. If nothing else, I suppose I can thank Final Fantasy X for that.
The story might end up being one of my favorites of all time, but as for playing it, I think it’s time for me to move on.
