Talk:Final Fantasy X/Archive 1

message: "There are a total of ten aeons in Final Fantasy X."
Should we really count the Magus Sisters as 3 aeons? It's only one summon spell, so I've always thought of them as a singular unit.
"A notable song is Suteki Da Ne, which has four versions."
Are the non-vocal versions really worth mentioning? The paragraph goes into essentially no detail on them after this one reference, and Uematsu has done multiple variation tracks on every important theme in the entire Final Fantasy series.
"He (Tetsuya Nomura) designed the characters in a manner similar to the way he designed the cast of Final Fantasy VIII."
Is this backed up by anything? And how did Nomura design the characters in FFVIII?
That's all for now. Hope somebody comes up with some answers. :D StellarFury 20:18, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Random Questions

message: "Although storyline is the game's main focus, many critics believe that the game is centered solely on graphics, and believe that as a result the story was less than perfect; however, this is perhaps mostly due to the story being more complex and mature than the previous Final Fantasy games. Final Fantasy X is also the first in the Final Fantasy series to sport voice acting. Voice acting is the most controversial addition in the Final Fantasy series. Critics have complained about the voice acting in the English version of the game. Tidus, voiced by James Arnold Taylor in the English version, was supposed to be impulsive and energetic, but most of his dialogue lines are considered to have ended up sounding somewhat lackluster and Americanised. Hedy Burress's Yuna performance is likewise sometimes considered grating; many have accused her of attempting to synch her spoken dialogue with the CGI character's lips—which were programmed to speak, not English, but Japanese. (Most find no complaints with the rest of the cast, but Tidus and Yuna are the game's central characters.) Critics also panned the minigame Blitzball, based heavily on the Captain Tsubasa series of videogames."
As I see it, this is non-verifiable fanbase editorializing. The introduction is terrible to anyone who's not into the FFX internet mojo and should be rewritten into something encyclopedic instead of this. Harp Heaven 22:08, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: NPOV issues in Criticism section (Editorializing)

message: Are there any fantasy artists or real-life architects who were the basis for inspiration of the bizarre fantasy-futuristic architecture seen in this game?  I notice it's also the exact same style seen in Final Fantasy VIII.  It's intrigued me for a long time but I've never been able to get a decent answer from any Final Fantasy forums. --69.234.232.207 23:12, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Inspiration for architecture in this game?

message: I just tagged the article with a  notice, mainly because of the size of the thing. The detail in this article really seems better suited to a game guide, and is pretty fancrufty (a term which I do not use lightly). My personal inclination is to trim the hell out of the character list, keeping only player characters and demonstrably important NPCs (Seymour, Jecht, etc.), and to do much the same thing with the Aeon list. The prose in the gameplay section could stand to be tightened, as well: the paragraph on the battle system frequently seems to spin into tangents (the mentions of Breath of Fire 4 and FFX-2's Garment Grid), for example. I'll see if I can make some improvement tomorrow, but I wanted to see if anyone had any other comments before I made any major changes. – Seancdaug 08:03, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
*I've gone ahead and moved all the characters except the playables to List of Final Fantasy X characters. The gameplay section still needs to be fixed, and we might want to dissolve the trivia section. ~ Hibana 16:32, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
**I'd further recommend removing the character descriptions from here (as they're now duped in the more suitable List of... article) and replacing them with a more general summary (as in the other FF 'root' articles, eg VII and VIII). I'll have a crack at that myself sometime unless someone beats me to it =) --Gamemaker 14:05, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Explanation of cleanup tag

message: ok so i moved the tag up to the top of the article thinking the gameplay section gap between the section name and the text would disappear, but it didnt. i am not sure what to do to fix it, but it could have something to do with the picture position.Tik 15:43, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
