They explain how the world works a lot. Lots of times. From many different perspectives. Including the "I don't know how the world works" perspective of the main character. And from the party perspective. And the enemy perspective. And the narrator perspective. And in flashback VHS recorders.

We can discuss this, if you like!

Its focus is on battle gameplay and plot manipulation: there are 3 endings, after all! If you're concerned with "lore," sure! It doesn't change anything, really. Just adds more "what used to be" and gives the girls 17 different cosplay erotica for funsies. Plus, half the world backgrounds remain the same, with some minor additions (including NPCs) and you get another 40 or so new backgrounds, too, so if you like FFX's art and setting, FFX-2 adds to that.

Everyone is rightfully calling you out for either not paying attention, not playing the game, or trolling

>Tidus: Uh, what’s a “sending”? Are we going somewhere?
>Lulu: (huff!) You truly are clueless. Are you sure it’s just your memory that’s the problem?
>Lulu: The dead need guidance. Filled with grief over their own death, they refuse to face their fate. They yearn to live on, and resent those still alive. You see, they envy the living. And in time, that envy turns to anger, even hate. Should these souls remain in Spira, they become fiends that prey on the living. Sad, isn’t it?

This neatly explains death's role in this world, where the monsters come from, and why monsters release pyreflies when they die. Why are you trying to die on this hill?

Except your interpretation, or at least your criticism, was founded on ignorance

>Did they ever explain why no one dies in this world?

Yes. A lot. Out of all the things they don't explain, this is the one thing they harp on the most. The way death functions, aka coming back as a ghost that can degrade into a fiend over time as their hatred builds, gets a massive amount of attention. Hell it even gets a name

>Tidus: She’ll make it? What, so she can die? Why is it…everything in Spira seems to revolve around people dying?
>Auron: Ahh, the spiral of death.
>Tidus: Huh?
>Auron: Summoners challenge the bringer of death, Sin, and die doing so. Guardians give their lives to protect their summoner. The fayth are the souls of the dead. Even the maesters of Yevon are unsent. Spira is full of death. Only Sin is reborn, and then only to bring more death. It is a cycle of death, spiraling endlessly.

So when you say some shit like "why does no one die," yes you're going to get talked at like you don't know what you're talking about seeing as how the majority of the plot revolves around deaths.

Ok, i´ll bite. X has a good story (by JRPG standards) and a decent cast of characters and antagonist. Plus blitzball can be pretty addictive. Game is turn based and doesn´t have a world map. It introduces something called the sphere grid (which is a chore to min max) and the mini games for the ultimate weapons may make you want to off yourself.

Also the ending is a tearjerker but you should never play X-2 no matter how much you believe you want to.

Incidentally you´d be better off playing VII, VIII or IX instead but that´s none of my business.

easily the most memorable and unique art direction / aesthetic / setting / costuming in any video game.

Nothing even comes close. I love the blending of technology and fantasy into a strange new world--you just don't see this level of creativity in any medium anymore.

It has the most strange and dreamlike vibe when playing... Tidus's melancholic narration of past events blended into current gameplay give everything this prophetic feeling.

It's a reminder of how much art is influenced by being in a place. The entire development team was sent out to Hawaii and that bright, aquatic, colorful feeling of Hawaii is so apparent in the game.

I like to think that many video game developers, back in the 80s, 90s, even 2000s, were artists. They wanted to share their skills and talents with other people, they wanted to get other people to say, "that looks great! This is amazing!!" People making video games used to be about artists making new forms are art... and it showed!

Now?
That costs too much. I'll send it to be made in Sri Lanka and open an online webshop.

it works literally perfectly 100% fine in pcsx2 why do you even need PC mods? and yeah there is a mod for the demaster but it still doesnt look as good as the original version, especially with upscaling. and the PAL release has all the extra content that the NTSC didnt get.

Emulation is the only way, any mods that exist are just kind of crowbarring the remaster to not look AS ugly. If you want to play FFX emulate FFX International only the main menu is in Japanese the rest is in English and I'm sure theres an undub floating around somewhere if thats your thing.

>Good enough.
Sadly, they're profitable enough on title alone as those games have their fanbases solidified. What's more insane to me is they were even willing to outsource a major remake like FF7 initially.

Its even worse in motion, the characters have less polygons in their faces, so all the facial expressions in HD look awkward as hell when they're supposed to be showing emotions.

PAL version is an option if you don't want to use the International version, I'm unsure if FFX is one of the games that runs slower or not.

Wrong. The PSX means Playstation 1, not Playstation 10.
Checkmate.

Yeah, ignore the PAL version. The Jap version has an english option, and iirc has english voice acting cause english voices were a selling point for Square's upgraded rereleases back in the day.
