Blues, you don't know my scale. You've seen what I say when I write posts, a lot of which I don't devote the proper amount of time to. Furthermore, the things I like about the game don't get nearly as much attention because I'm not the sort of person who is usually inclined to post and say "The combat's... pretty good!" unless I have very little else to say. You see my arguments as shrunken down to one or two paragraphs, and I'll be the first to admit they don't paint a clear picture.

Aside from that, talk shit on my preconceived bias all you like, but you had one, too, and that colors your current impressions, just like Krylo had his, and Azis had his, and Tera had his, because unless you literally haven't seen a single cutscene or heard a single thing about the game or the franchise it is a part of, you are going to have some sort of preconceived bias. Even if you aren't immediately aware of it, it's there. I know my preconceived bias. I have a pretty decent idea of how much it colors things. I went into FFX after years of not playing it because I had no interest in it, and thinking I would hate it. I literally played the game because I thought I could get a hateful review of it. Of the story centric Final Fantasies, it ranks as my third favorite in spite of its flaws and my complaints. I think this says a lot.
