hissing and spitting
FFX only has one kind of furry people. IX has like four at least and two kinds of soulless automaton!

FFX is dour and colorful and, like, garrish and campy. It has a cool furry person named Kimhari in it, and Lulu and Auron, and Yuna too. Tidus is basically Zidane without the dad issues. I’m not saying they are the same but I am saying that they might be just as good, and it’s been 20 years it’s time to learn to love belts, zippers and clown shoes and kill the thing inside you that cringes.

How can you hate Seymour Guado’s hair. Or the fact that he’s named Seymour and Guado. He’s an evil celebrity not to be trusted!

Seymour does not look like someone saw David Bowie’s Goblin King in the Labyrinth and said “this isn’t horny enough, give him a speedo to match the thigh-highs”
FFX is the most heterosexual Final Fantasy and that’s why Seymour is such a half-assed thirst trap.

FFX was a dark time for fujos, truly. You had to ship like Auron and Jecht in a very workmanlike trench affair
We had no chance of withstanding Kingdom Hearts

This is truly the only rubrick that matters with final fantasy: how fujo-friendly is your game
And that’s why I love FF15

Listen, I just want to be frozen in crystal with my wife for all of time, I don’t care how annoying Hope and Snow are
Incidentally might merge this tangent into the FF thread?

Seymour is really the major problem in FFX in that they do a really bad job explaining like, who he is and why he’s supposed to be such a major part of the story, and then the truncated backend of the game is all oh man, remember all this other shit that wasn’t part of the Seymour arc that you spent however many hours on? Wild!

They screwed up the worldbuilding enough that the villain plot ends up not being villainous at all and there’s no actual stakes in the game. Death is literally a meaningless concept since characters can just continue to exist as themselves for centuries after they died and the afterlife is literally a place normal folks can visit whenever they want.
It would’ve been cool if they leaned into this sort of bizarre fantasyworld post-scarcity scenario but it’s clear that they were largely unaware of how garbled and inconsequential the plot is
At least Final Fantasy X-2 had some actual stakes

FF9 rocks, extremely good creatures. Burmecians are an all-time hall of fame design.

it’s true that the stakes are considerably lower than either Sonic Adventure and below par for Final Fantasy but I wouldn’t say there aren’t any, they’re just interpersonal
whether that works for you, fair, but I like how many degrees of social/familial obligation they have to tear through: ritual sacrifice, state marriage, technological taboo, expectation of reconciliation with family of origin, secret cousins. in this way I like that the dead never leave because the party are haunted by their terrible relatives and the church until they rid themselves of the whole system. Yuna throwing each of these off is a nice bit of character development, shame about Tidus.

it’s actually maybe the closest they come to the typical dragon quest structure really, where there’s a flashy back-of-the-box villain but you actually defeat them halfway or two-thirds through the game (depending how many seasons long the dragon quest in question is) and then move on to the real threat
of course they do fumble the bag pretty bad still
