    FFX

    First time I played was at a boyfriend’s house. I got like 80% of the way through, then we broke up.

    Second time, I let a friend borrow my GameCube in exchange for his PS2. I got about 80% of the way through, then he wanted his PS2 back.

    I finally got my own PS2. Played about 80% of the way through but had a couple bad builds and couldn’t beat a boss. I didn’t have energy to grind my way into a better build, so I just never finished.

    It’s been ~20 years. I still sometimes think I’ll break out the old PS2 and see if my save file is there. I probably won’t.

      The remastered copy on Steam let’s you speed up the game. It is much quicker running around at x4 speed and clearing random encounters. Then slow game speed to normal for major bosses and events. I would highly recommend this route rather than trying to find a PS2 again.

      If you haven’t played FFX-2 or FFXII then those are worth checking out too.

        I mentioned your comment to my partner after I saw it. Last night, he showed me he’d bought the FFX/X-2 bundle on Steam for me! So I guess I might actually finish the game after all :D

          Awesome. Have fun.

          Don’t sleep on FFXII. That’s on the Steam store as well after you’re done with this.
