This is something I've been finding as I do weekly reviews, as well.

It's only available in Japanese though.

Someone needs to translate that shit.

I'd pay assloads of money for a NES FFX.

If I didn't say I was kidding about spoilers someone would have said something on how to use spoilers.

Why?

It'd be the same game but with shittier graphics, and the writing would seem even worse 'cause they were using facial expressions and body language to say a lot that earlier (NES/SNES era) games found ways to work into dialogue.

I mean, some of the VA was pretty aggravating, but was it really THAT bad?

Novelty. I have FF1 on the PSX, but I prefer it on the NES because of the novelty factor. And I didn't even grow up with an NES.

I think that the outdated graphics and sounds have a certain charm to them. Just because they're not high-res sprites doesn't mean they aren't good in their own way. People put work into making things look good in a tiny space. I, myself, have experimented making FF7 NES sprites. It's pretty neat, all told.

Okay, deja vu.

I didn't have any of the optional summons when I first fought Jecht either, it makes it a LOT harder. Hope you like that cutscene beforehand and are ready for a long, tough battle.

Protip: Unless I've gone crazy, the spell Zombie works on pretty much all of the final bosses. It's one of the only times I've found that spell useful. Jecht cures himself eventually but it can be useful for when he wants to heal himself.

Also, I think Tidus and Auron and such can use a special "talk" command for him like in the Seymour fights that I believe will weaken Jecht or strengthen them or something. (I dunno, it's been a long time since I've beat FFX.)

I think it keeps him from using his "Fuck you I win" Overdrive.

This. I don't want it because I don't like the voice acting(to be honest, I don't), I want it because it's cool.

It causes him to hesitate, making him lose a turn.

Tidus actually makes him lose some of his Overdrive as well, IIRC.
