Unskippable Cutscenes

[Yousef]

be careful what you wish for. you can't skip cutscenes in ffx. you can skip cutscenes in ffx-2. if you do, you lose out on the perfect ending. you will have to replay through the entire game again in order to get a 100% complete file.

That’s terrifying, as if FFX2 wanted to win some kinda worst sequel award. Hey at least I like Yuna it, for specific reasons :p

The one time where unskippable cutscenes really got to me was final fantasy 8 when you would summon an eidolon and it would play this beautiful minute long animation EVERY SINGLE TIME.

i actually quit playing the game halfway because of this, but whats worse is i passed on ff9 and x, (and we even had a copy of 9, i just didnt play it!)

I didnt return to the series until x-2 because i thought squenix had done gone oft-they rockers.

i must have gone to heck for it, because when i tried to repent, i played ff9 for about 10 hours on steam, but (at that time) the steam version didnt have any cloud saves. Then, I was playing a show at an art gallery in OC, and a twacked out dude attacked and destroyed my computer, so my game save was lost...

I pray to cutscene jesus to save me!

fortunately, in ff9, the longer cutscenes for summons increase the damage that they do. the remaster for 10 allows you to play shorten versions of the intros and overdrive attacks for aeons after you've seen them once.

it is a very weird sequel. i didn't get very far in it when i was younger mainly because of the magical girl transformation scenes. i wasn't a fan of sailor moon at the time, so it didn't interest me in seeing those scenes. if lulu was involved, i probably would have changed my mind. when i learned about the cutscene skipping locked you out of the true ending, which happened to me because i skipped the parts i already went through, i decided that i would just wait until later to play it, preferably with a checklist to make sure that i got everything.
yuna is a good character, but paine and lulu are my favorites from 10.

Maximum pet peeve.

Even then, the official retail strategy guide had a late-game screw-up so that if the guide was followed religiously you'd only get something like 99.8% completion.

Again, yay Code Breaker and 100% Completion code!

there's a fatal bug in the game where finishing up zanarkand last causes the game to mess up and become incompletable. if you finish up zanarkand first in chapter 5, the fatal glitch doesn't occur. the strategy guide was probably done in sections or the list of stuff to do is based off of the menu used to select what place that you want to go to.
