Friday on February 15th I finished playing
the Story Mode for Tidus in Dissidia 012:
Final Fantasy. I enjoyed watching
how even though Tidus hated his father Jecht, he also respected him and wanted
to fight him when he wasn’t already beaten down by, uh, the Emperor of FFII.
It was then that I had this thought:
I should get back to playing Final Fantasy X. Should I?
I haven’t played that video game since, well, since
maybe 2009. I need to check the memory
card data to confirm that, LOL. But I
think the reason I haven’t played it so much the last uh, TEN YEARS, is that
I…I dunno. I still have the BradyGames Official
Strategy Guide for FFX. Ah, yes….I absolutely HATED the BlitzBall
game going on in the middle of things.
Hey, I don’t play football, I don’t watch football, so why do I want to
play Blitz ball which is kinda the same thing except underwater?! It just really turned me off and I put the
game away for some years. There are so
many stats and rules for the game it just didn’t make the actual video game
fun. I wanted to play more into the
story, darnit! Let me f#!%&^n’ go!
Oh, here’s another thing that made me lose my patience
for the game: the Sphere Grid. Yuck, it is frustrating because I don’t get
the necessary Ability Points and Grid Spheres fast enough to level up the
characters. EDIT: It’s a little easier to work with now after
getting back to it a couple of weeks ago.
Looking back though, at some point I did go through
with the BlitzBall, as frustrating as it was, and I think I did defeat the boss
Oblitzerator. I also think I left off right before the party
was going to go somewhere else.
I had to go to iTunes and find this battle BGM that I
remembered but didn’t know the title to it.
I looked and it’s called “Enemy Attack.”
I always loved that music track from the game. I preferred it from the other battle BGMs
I’ve encountered so far into the game. It would have
been cool if Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy had this as an unlockable extra Battle
BGM. At least, that’s my opinion.
Note: My favorite weapon Tidus uses is the blue
longsword called Brotherhood. I realize
that now after seeing that Bartz uses this weapon when he mimics Tidus.
