So far I've spent 30 hours this past week playing and leveling in Final Fantasy X, what I consider to be one of the greatest console games of all time. The graphics may be 10 years old, the turn based game play may be a bit tedious now, but in my opinion the game still holds up quite well. I'm currently situated in the Calm Lands, have the first 5 aeons, all of the Al Behd primers and won the Blitz tournament against the Luca Goers. I've been creating a Blitzball team before I start to play intensely in the league competition, leveling up. At the moment, my team I am building consists of: 
 
RF - Linna; LF - Tidus; MF - Brother; LB - Ropp
 
I'm still carrying Jassu and Keepa in the team for the time being, but I am planning on grabbing Zev Ronso and Wedge from Luca when I can use the airship shortly (kicking myself I didn't pick them up for the team whilst I was still in Luca near the start of the game!) 
 
Not a whole lot more to say right now. The story plays out fantastically and is among my favorites in gaming. I'm enjoying the toned down nature of the characters compared to the modern Final Fantasy J-POP character atrocities we are faced with today. I guess the passiveness of a lot of the characters is due to the ongoing and burdening threat of Sin on the world, but it works well towards a Western audience in my opinion. The characters aren't overly flamboyant. As soon as I can get back to Luca I will be playing an excessive amount of blitzball and will probably blog later on about that, as well as the rest of the game to come (there is about 10 more hours to the end of the game without blitzball, so I'm getting close :) 
 
That's all for now. PS2 yeee yeeeeeee

Hah! I looove aaaaanimeeee ^_^

I just finished my replay of this yesterday, fantastic game, though Id prefer a bit more free roaming in the game, soundtrack is fantastic

One of the greatest games of all time. Its only fault is its main protagonist.

I loved this game, however that final boss was fucking insane.  Never could finish it >:(

Man, reading this makes me feel so bummed that my backwards compatible PS3 bit the dust...I really need to get a PS2 one of these days.
