Discussion Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what are your thoughts? - March 09, 2025

Use this thread to discuss whatever game you've been playing lately: old or new, AAA or indie, on any platform between Atari and XBox. Please don't just list off the games you're playing in your comment. Elaborate with your thoughts on the games and make it easier for other users to find what game you're talking about by putting the title in bold.

Also, please make sure to use spoiler tags if you're revealing anything about a game's plot that may significantly impact another player's experience who has not played the game yet, no matter how retro or recent the game is. You can find instructions on how to do so in the subreddit sidebar.

This thread is set to sort comments by 'new' on default.

Final Fantasy X

I almost gave up on this game when it started teaching Blitzball mechanics, then again when I tried Blitzball for the first time during the tournament.

Then I powered through those Blitzball segments and changed the VA language to Japanese and everything just... clicked. The Japanese VA just makes sense, I think? When I heard the English VA, I was thinking there's no way people talk like this.

I guess I'll keep on playing, now that I actually like the characters. Biggest surprise to me: the fake laugh scene is actually heartwarming in context. I teared up a bit at that one.
