<p>Despite the usual amalgam if inspirations in its universe, FFX seems like the arguably most “Japanese” among the flagships (particularly Yuna whose summoner days seem to be very miko-inspired), so this may well factor in. Personally, I enjoyed the game on par with VII but neither was ever among my top FF favourites. What’s truly odd to see, though, is the first Dissidia higher up than 012, considering that the latter was a rare followup practically rendering the original obsolete – on top of the numerous buildups and improvements, it was a prequel story and featured the <strong>entire first game storyline</strong> unlockable upon completion and merged with the newly introduced overworld.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/users/TheWingedAvenger" class="mention" data-username="TheWingedAvenger" rel="nofollow">@TheWingedAvenger</a> the first FF to make summons more or less playable, an extensive skill/growth system, the franchise’s most substantial and complex mini-game to date, and all of that “a visual novel” (implying those aren’t officially video games in their own right – tell that to all the PC text adventures of the 80s).</p>
<p>And here I thought “FFXIII being full of annoying stereotypes” would win the section’s most hilarious comment.</p>
<p>PS. “Final Fantasy Legend” games have nothing to do with Final Fantasy (outside the first two being made by Akitoshi Kawazu and inheriting certain FFII mechanics), and never bore the title outside the US release. They’re all SaGa franchise.</p>
