      They are still annoying to the point that I won't even try out a Zelda game now.

      JRPG fans are pretty overrepresented on gamefaqs.

      On the internet, they appeal to terminally online people with mental health issues.

      I don't know how true this actually is in reality but this is the feeling I also have. FF gays were one of the first vidya fandoms to be weird terminally online homosexuals who practically live in FF worlds in their heads and larp in forums. FF fanbase was also huge online because of gross unwashed fujos writing tons of fanfics.

          Final gays were all over places like albinoblacksheep and newgrounds with shitty animations and gay fan written romance. The xXsephiroth420Xx people weren't a meme, they were people I went to high school with.

        I genuinely hate Zelda fans (especially the more recent ones), but it's still one of my favorite series. If you've never played any games in the series you should check it out.

        Twillight Princess was a very good game for its time. Windwaker was fun and had an interesting stylistic choice at the time, it was something new.
        I think Super Mario Galaxy was better than them both though, the music was incredible and it was really something new and unique that was actually fun to play.

      GameFAQs had these contests all the time back then, they were just popularity contests between zelda and squaresoft fans, with some other popular series thrown in sometimes. Launchpad winning the sidekicks tournament was the only good that ever came of those things. Seeing SA on there is funny since many posters I recall thought GTA (and halo and madden/fifa) was the death knell of gaming as a nerd's hobby and saw them as bringing too many normal people into the fold.

      I always figured it was because they were story/character-focused games, and in my experience, people talk about characters/stories far more than they talk about anything else in a game, so they're just always chatting about it because the subject is one that they enjoy.

          Not going to address this beyond this one post. Demon's Souls came out in 2009, and it takes a warm shit on MW2. The poll makers fricked up and I won't hear otherwise. Now back to on-topic.

          GameFAQs was a weird place, it was like the worst people you'd find here and the worst people you'd find on ResetERA having inane internet slapfights. In retrospect, it wasn't very surprising they were such fans of JRPGs.

          When I first came to Ganker I liked it because it was like GameFAQs but without people pretending to follow moronic rules. In time I learned they were basically the same place in effect, for better and for worse. I just like that this site doesn't use handles and karma. Frick every site that uses karma based on post count/post popularity. The only ones I like are on dedicated forums where people's IRL lives intersect with the forum, and even there I only like it reflecting behavior in BST situations, so that if you are a scummy person then I know to avoid you. Rating users by how often they post/how popular their posts are makes for even bigger echo chambers than you already tend to get on web communities.

          All I remember of playing FFX was the graphics being good and the world being shit. Also, pretty much everyone looked like a clown. Tidus had a moronic outfit, Wakka used a fricking volleyball as a weapon, lulu had the stupid beltception, it was a truly marvelous shitfest. I always compare it to gundam seed and use it as reminder of how often japanese have shit taste.

          I also remember my brother getting stuck on the seymour fight in the mountains. I didn't give a shit for the game past the first hour and stopped playing, so I don't know if that was an actual hard fight or if he just didn't prepare well. Either way, game didn't impress much. Also seymour has that moron hair that looks like something a deviantart OC would have. As expected of Nomura, the moronic 50-something who thinks he's a teenager in shibuya.

          that's a good game though

          it's not bad, but I would struggle to pick it as "best game ever". Then again, I met a weirdo once who told me he replayed it every year on the anniversary of its release. Maybe it just infects people who love plot and meme characters.

      It's worse than that, bad games can be ignored, this is a good game with extremely bad ideas in it. It spread those ideas like cancer around the genre and killed it off. This game killed overworld in JRPGs and with it, killed the genre.

    All I remember about FFX is the super repetitive battle theme, 100 encounters per square inch and a very long intro to the game. Am I brainlet pilled?

      >super repetitive battle theme
      FFX's soundtrack is one of my favorites, but the battle themes are pretty weak. It's carried mostly by gorgeous ambient bgm and cutscene music.
      >100 encounters per square inch
      The encounters wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to swap characters in and out every battle for everyone to gain exp, and then assign your levels manually in the sphere grid. It's pretty laborious.
      >very long intro to the game
      It is long yeah, but it looks spectacular and wastes no time pulling you into the story. If the intro doesn't interest you, I can see why you don't remember it favorably.
