happy birthday to me 👵🎂 AND happy birthday to final fantasy x 💖

I feel very fortunate to share a birthday with my favorite final fantasy 🥰 fun fact tho: I have the same exact birthday as FFIV 🎊 (which I haven’t played)

X is my favorite too. When I finally played it two years ago, I ended up 100% both it and X2 back-to-back 😅 I felt a real sense of loss when it was over. What FFs have you played?

I still need to play X-2, I tried it but was confused and overwhelmed by the dress sphere system lol I’ve only finished 7, 10, and the 7 remakes. I’ve played some of a few others, but other than X-2, I want to go through 6 and 9 next!

Have you tried VIII or XII Zodiac Age?

XII in my theory is what inspired Xenoblade. It's the only game that I can find that's similar. Just more turned/menu base but it has the same vibes. Absolutely fun and my dark horse of the series that I wish more people talked about. The gambit system is revolutionary!

It’s funny because I probably would’ve been turned off by the battle system when it came out, but now that I’ve played XBC1, it really makes me want to play XII!

Don't be afraid of the junction system or the GFS! (The aeons of VIII). Basically imagine if Yuna ducktaped an Aeon to her, and depending on which one, it allows her to get stat increases for specific attributes. You use your magic inventory to increase said stats.

So... if Ifrit is taped to Yuna, that would be a good one to raise your strength and vit attributes. You would use Fire magic for strength and revive/cure magic for vit. That's how you "level up" in VIII! That's basically all there is to it. It sounds scary but it's super simple and fun.

VIII was unique in that enemies level up with Squall. So most of the scary stuff you see is from people trying to keep Squall at level 1 while using junction to make him more like level 50. You don't need to do this in a normal playthrough!
