Every year I take the same two weeks off the kids get for Winter break. Doing so allows me to have the time to do whatever we need for the holidays, visit family, and even do a little bit of nothing.

This past break I bought Final Fantasy X for that little bit of nothing. I rented it (or borrowed from someone, can’t remember which) a couple years back and because it was on borrowed time my goal was to finish the game. This time around I’m taking my time and enjoying it. I now have about 60 hours played and just beat the Seymour that appears on top of Mt. Gagazet.

Although Tidus can be annoying with his immature emo-ness, and I hate that I can’t skip (or haven’t figured out how) through the sappy movie scenes, it’s nice playing a game that has a story to unfold. I miss that aspect of a first person RPG where your character is the star of a mystery. Coming from an open ended world where there are multitudes of stories to be discovered (vs. played), it’s refreshing to play a game with structure and focus.

FFX is my secret lover!
