Final Fantasy X is back and we’re not complaining!

Im telling you this up front, dear reader, so that you know what youre getting with me.

In other words, I was filled with great excitement, but also had great expectations.

Im pleased to say that while the game isnt perfect, this is the title thatXfans were hoping for.

All of the main characters in each title got quite a bit of work.

That said, its easy to see where Square Enix decided to cut corners.

Many of the non-player characters, especially those inX-2, lack polish.

The effect is particularly jarring when the main cast has to interact with these NPCs.

Some of the games backgrounds and set pieces suffer from the same problem.

Have a problem with the sound of Rikkus voice?

Add Brother to your roster and swap him in.

(Some might say Brother is even more annoying, but I digress.)

The arena and monster training system further strengthen thePokemonfeel to this new feature.

Dont get me wrong, Last Mission is fun in its own way.

Its a roguelike title, meaning it features random level generation and a top-down view.

The game offers a good deal of depth and requires some critical thinking to advance in the later levels.

Its inclusion, like most everything else on the disc, is all about fan service.

More than 60 tracks in total were rearranged or tweaked.X-2s soundtrack was not touched.

Yes, Im looking at you, laughing scene.

And, well, pretty much all ofX-2.

AndGoogle+, if thats your thing!
