Still great but not quite up to modern standards. Yeah, I find it weird. FFX has some great presentation even as someone who doesn't care too much for the plot and characters, but it's 20 years old! I feel like part of why FFX still carries this reputation is that I can't think of many other JRPGs that go for the same level of ultra-cinematic storytelling that Square-Enix does. And later FF games have...issues. I think I'd say the modern JRPG benchmark is Yakuza. Even if you don't count the earlier ones as action RPGs, Y7 exists. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:962220340] in Giving FFX...
