Since I don't take most RPGs too seriously to begin with, this game is no worse than most other melodramatic RPGs, FF entries included. But I am wondering if some would go as far as saying this game is better than FF7. I read that FF10 was voted #1 (above FF7) in Famitsu's top 100 games of all time list, which was dedicated almost entirely to RPGs. So, I'm looking for opinions from RPG buffs on this.
That's funny, I'm the opposite. I liked the story of FFX, but I cannot stand the mechanics of the game. Having to micro manage everything and not being able to easily return to previous areas until the end of the game killed it for me.

The balance on that game is majorly f***ed up as well. In the earlier portion of the game it has monsters way beyond the power level that you can really handle, but by the end of the game, you can have spell casters almost one shot the last boss with 2x 100K hit Ultimas. Break damage limit was...well...broken, and should have never been put into the game.

I personally loved FF7's materia system for battles. I wasn't as fond of the story or characters (minus a few), but I do consider FF7 to be a lot more fun than FFX.
