Classic, to elevate yourself in a barbaric society you have to attack those lower in standing than you, not higher.
10 plays better than 12 (IT WOULD ABOUT HAVE TO !@&$) but it is so insufferable in every other way that i can't handle it. The designs make me want to throw up -- not just the characters, which... jesus christ, but even the menus, the design principle of which was evidently "try to use every single color at least once." Blitzball... why the hell is Wakka's usefulness as a character tied to the worst, most time-consuming, most random, most skill-less minigame in FF history? "Maester?" "Fayth?" Was there seriously a time when i could put up with this kind of game without my eyes rolling clean out of my head??
There was a word i couldn't think of when i was playing through 12 to describe my grievances with the series as a whole, but i just realized it -- "decadent." The whole series (at least of late, but i am willing to admit that this may be true of every game in the series ever!) is honestly the queerest, more overdramatic tweeny horseshit that i can't imagine i ever played willingly. I can't tell if it's pandering or if SE is hiring people straight off Deviantart but one way or another 10 and 12 are so self-indulgent as to defy description.
It doesn't help that i keep reading about the international versions and wishing i could at least be playing those instead.
