1. People of the North Pole is slightly ahead of Sprouting. I honestly love the OST of this game so much I play it often even still to this day.
2. Blitzball is fantastic! I mean... my only gripe is that it's almost impossible to lose. You have to severely handicap yourself. I think I spent more hours on Blitzball than the actual game back in the day.
3. Chocobo makes me want to smash my fist through the TV. At least Lightning Dodges has the nice Thunder Plains tune.
4. I think this scene is wonderful and one of the best moments of the game.

Best: Auron
Worst: Kimhari - simply by process of elimination, since he's the biggest letdown. He gets one great scene and it's quickly ruined

It's been too long since I played it though. I may feel differently now than I did then. (I also don't know how to answer those discussion questions right now.)

Kimahri isn't awful, just very underdeveloped. The cast is really good!

1, Movement in Green- love the game's OST, this is just what popped into my head first.
2. Blitzball is decent but imo not interactive enough and you have to play way too much of it to get Wakka's ultimate. They could've made it great by iterating on it in the sequel, but instead they scrapped what they had and went with something entirely different.
3. Lightning dodging for me! I did get lucky with the Sun Sigil though. Neither is very good >_>
4. Great scene, agreed. I get that taking things out of context for memes is common, but it's a shame the way this scene is mocked :(

Best: Tidus
Worst: Kimahri

Best is insanely difficult because Tidus, Auron, Yuna and Rikku are top tier. Wakka and Lulu are pretty great too. Kimahri aint bad, but man he just cant compete

Bonus Discussion Topics:

1. Which was your favourite music track in this game? Fight with Seymour when you fight him inside Sin
2. Do you like Blitzball? It's a chore at first but gets better as your stats do
3. What's worse? Chocobo Racing or Lightning Dodging? Lightning dodging
4. The laughing scene was one of the best moments in the game No

Best: Auron
Worst: Wakka

1. Which was your favourite music track in this game? - Someday The Dream Will End
2. Do you like Blitzball? - Yes
3. What's worse? Chocobo Racing or Lightning Dodging? - Lightning Dodging. I've at least been able to do Chocobo Racing before.
4. The laughing scene was one of the best moments in the game - It wouldn't make my top 5, but I don't hate it.

---

Best: Rikku
Worst: Tidus (Wakka might be worse, but he's not the main character)

---

Best: Yuna
Worst: Kimahri

1. Suteki da ne
2. Love it
3. Lightning dodging
4. It's a good scene that gets hate because people dont realize it is supposed to start as a really fake sounding laugh.

---

Best: Lulu
Worst: Wakka

1. Not gonna pretend to be a hipster and go with To Zanarkand, with Otherworld as a close second
2. Meeeeeeeeeeeeh
3. Lightning Dodging, very easily
4. Not really, and it wasn't bad, but has aged sooo badly

---

Best: Auron
Worst: Wakka

1: Battle with Seymour
2: Not really, but I didn't play it enough I think
3: Didn't try either of these
4: Not really, but it's not a bad scene

---

Best: Yuna
Worst: Rikku
It's not that I dislike her but she was kind of a brat and just randomly appeared out of nowhere. But I do enjoy her mixology skill and I like her somewhat better in FF X-2.

1. To Zanarkand? That's the only one I can name at least.
2. Not really, but I didn't hate it either
3. Lightning dodging since Chocobo racing was at least a mini-game so it can be fun if you're not trying to get the ultimate weapon
4. It was kinda forgettable

---

Best: Yuna
Worst: Lulu

1. Someday the Dream will end
2. Not really
3. Lightning dodging.
4. Laughing scene is fun

Best: Tidus
Worst: Kimahri

No one is bad though.

1 - Which was your favourite music track in this game?
Suteki Da Ne

2 - Do you like Blitzball?
No, but it had potential. My main issue is that you can do absolutely nothing when your opponent has the ball.

3 - What's worse? Chocobo Racing or Lightning Dodging?
I had little problem with both of them. The latter is probably a worse idea, but I don't really mind either much.

4 - The laughing scene was one of the best moments in the game
It's great!

Best: Tidus
Worst: Kimahri

I actually love this game's cast. Tidus Rikku and Wakka are great. Yuna Auron and Lulu don't excite me but I respect their roles and their contributions to the story. I don't even hate Kimahri but he is completely pointless.

My favorite track is the regular battle theme. Just a stand out in the series and I never get bored of it.
Blitzball is fun
Chocobo racing is worse because I feel no compulsion to get Lulu's ultimate weapon so rarely bother dodging lightning (otherwise dodging is worse by far)
Laughing scene is actually good but not remotely the best in the game (nor worst)

Best: Auron
Worst: Kimahri

Never played FFX but I can say that the only time I ever heard of Kimhari was because Dota2 fans thought Phantom Lancer looks like him
Didn't her about Wakka either besides smfffc and he is infamous there

---

Best: Tidus
Worst: Kimahri

Track: Whatever the Besaid Island one is
Blitzball is fun but takes some investment
Lightning dodging
Laughing scene is fine, people just take it out of context

Oh yeah this is a good shout. Best generic battle theme in the series (maybe in all JRPGs?). Such a banger! Man the OST is so good.

Good point with lightning dodging too, it's worse but entirely unnecessary as Lulu doesn't need a weapon.

"Besaid Island"

Oh

I thought it was something flashier

---

Best: Auron
Worst: Rikku

Worst is hard since half the cast has a good reason to be listed as worst.

---

Best: Yuna
Worst: Lulu

They all have their faults, but some are more glaring than others. If we go based solely on gameplay itd be best: Rikku and worst: Kimahri just for how capable they are of breaking sphere grid challenges in half, but Lulu could literally be absent from the plot with Kimahri being a bruiser-combo-BLU/BLM/DRG and nothing would suffer from it.

I still like her though, it's just Kimahri gets a bad wrap.

<u>Bonus Discussion Topics:</u>

1. Which was your favourite music track in this game? I had to think about this a long time, but it's Someday the Dream Will End.
2. Do you like Blitzball? Absolutely. Best minigame ever!
3. What's worse? Chocobo Racing or Lightning Dodging? Racing. Dodging is just tedious whereas nothing can help the luck-based crapshoot that is that other thing.
4. The laughing scene was a necessary lighthearted moment in a game that has an otherwise depressing plot when you really think about it.

Best: Rikku
Worst: Tidus

Bonus:
1.) Movement in Green, specifically the HD version, though Someday the Dream Will End is very close.
2.) If it had a bit more polish to it, sure. I dont like the RNG element of Goalkeepers randomly getting more catch, and its aged poorly. Also it should be standalone save for Wakka's Crest, not the freaking reels too. Timegating outside of an MMO, ugh.
3.) For all Chocobo Racing's faults, it at least resets quickly if RNG fails you. Lightning Bolts, you screw up near the end, and screw you, have another fifteen minute rhythm less rhythm game.
Secret third option is the Macalania Butterfly Hunt on a PS2 controller, because UGH.
4.) The laughing scene is sweet once their laughing goes from A HA HA HA HA HA to a bit more natural, and memes have ruined it. Not the best scene, though. I still love the ending after Yu Yevon is exorcised and Tidus begins fading, even if X-2 cheapens it somewhat, but it also did okay by letting Yuna grow as a person while Rikku regressed to toddlerhood? Seriously, screw Rikku after X.
