Final Fantasy X & X2

One of the things that I love about the game is the message that is imbedded in the very existence of Tidus.

Tidus is a dream (a dream of fayth that conquers Sin, no less). So, in X, a dream is what saves the day and makes the future hopeful again. A dream is what finds a solution out of the fighting. A dream is what brings hope and life to Yuna, who had spent most of her life planning for her death.

Then, in X2, we see that when a dream is believed in and sought after with all the strength and will and hope that a person can summon, we see that dream become flesh because Yuna wills it so.

Dreams can save the world, and believing in a dream can make that dream a reality.

That's really a very beautiful message.

Final Fantasy...eeeeee!

I liked VII and VIII and a couple of characters from several of the games made appearances in Kingdom Hearts RPG.

:P

FF is tons of fun. I do think that they just keep getting better.

Dude, I just beat the game yesterday. I didn't realize I was so invested in the whole Tidus/Yuna thing until the end when I thought he wasn't going to show up. And I was so freaking happy when he did! And then I'm like "I'm getting all shippy about a video game. This is a new low".

But I'm still happy he came back. And that it explained the damn him-waking-up-in-water thing from the last game.

Oh, I got all shippy about it, too. Also my first time getting shippy over a video game. Odd feeling. But they did a good job with Yuna and Tidus, both as individual characters and as a couple.
