A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

My all time favorite game if FFX. I played on the PS2 and there is a bunch of releases for more modern consoles. But you can emulate PS2 on your phone and play on the go with an emulator like AetherSX2.
The zanarkand sound track is my ringtone. Just something about the piano and all the memories and emotions that game made me feel. Definitely one of my top 2 FF games
To Zanarkland is the song I had my bridal party walk out to. :)
FFX is amazing. In the past, I've considered 9 to be my favourite , but I've come to view 10 as the best. The uniqueness of its battle system and the fact that more of the characters are so strong makes it great.
There's a modern PC port with better graphics, which I haven't yet played. Admittedly, one advantage of emulators is dealing with the bullshit lightning strikes minigame for one of the ultimate weapon. You had to dodge something like 200 lightning bolts in a row, which I'd never be able to do without save states.
I got PTSD from that. I did manage it somehow. And I lost count so I kept going for who knows how long afterwards just to make sure. Then you go to the chest for your reward and it gives them to you in increasing rarity so my first thought was I had fucked it up somehow cause all I got was a stupid elixir or something. Then you reopen the chest and you get the next reward and so on. I was so relieved when I finally got it.
I've been listening to the soundtrack recently. It's so relaxing. I think my favorite track is Macalania Woods.
