first love. one of my favorite pieces of art ever. like any FF, not without stiltedness/off notes but tidus's english va gets dumped on too much, he's good and suits the material perfectly.

beautiful. when i think of its final scene, all the lows and hiccups fade away.

orbital witch space jail!! the lunar tear!!! has some of the coolest shit ever conceived. wish it was better integrated and expounded on. a mess, but maybe the best! defies linear ranking more than any other FF.

i love the high concept soap opera enough to put up with the pacing and dripfed mechanics. the most interpersonally conflicted ff cast of all time.

ARR: go fetch a fetch quest. as my first mmo it was a new and interesting experience, but only good one intermittently.

HW: good shit.

the dungeons wore down my positive feelings, but i respect all the swings it takes. i really like the rudimentary, bleak drama.

(played through PSP version)

love the dragons, the bats, and the sick as hell plot dump.

(played through PSP version, messed with NES and GBA versions)

good, shy of great? i can see where the love for it comes from, but for me the "FFXV Universe" fell flat emotionally at almost every juncture. i think i need to reevaluate it, with a focus on the parts that work instead of focusing the sum of all its parts.
