When Squaresoft became Square Enix, the company died and took Final Fantasy with it and the first game they launched was a creepy fan service character assassination of a story.

I honestly found it degrading going from vibrant story criticizing religion and tradition to playing harem dress up in skimpy clothes with three teenage girls in a story that honestly feels like it doesn't go anywhere. It's just creepy things happening with weird unlikeable overly sexualized characters and if you complete all the to-do list you get the ending you want in the most contrived way possible.

Oh yeah Yuna gets with Tidus because she asks the fayth. The whole Vegnagun thing and all the half naked people and guys with greasy haircuts and people horny for the main chacters are irrelevant.

Yeah. Final Fantasy X was Squaresoft and Final Fantasy X-2 was Square Enix. You can see the whole difference in design from the two companies.

FFX-2 was Square as well. It was developed by a Square team and released by Square in Japan, not SquareEnix. In fact, it was the last Square Final Fantasy game to be released. This is all easily verifiable on Wikipedia, as well.

The truth is that this was the direction they wanted to take the X universe, even had the same Director and everything.

Oh wow, i always thought the merger/spirits within failure was the cause of the crappyfication of the final fantasy x game and all the terrible ones after it. I guess something else then.

Well, now I'm starting to get it.
