Halfway through 8. I'm sure I can finish 9, 10, 10-2, 12, and tactics in one week.

Skip X-2, imo. It actually had a pretty cool combat system going on, with the clothes switching and all that, but it was just so much cheap fanservice that I couldn't take the plot seriously. I never actually beat it, so I have no idea what happened to Tidus, but I really wish they'd leave these things alone. FFX had an awesome ending ~because~ it wasn't perfect, and then they go and make X-2 to rectify the fact that some fans were writing alternate universe fanfictions where everything's okay.
Honestly I'd skip 12 too, I thought it was so boring, and I loved the combat in that one. The story was just so predictable. "hey someone important is captured!" "let's bust him out" "k, AIRSHIP TIME!!!!" "hey in the process of doing that, someone important was captured" "let's bust her out" "k, MORE SWEET AIRSHIP TIME"

"hey in the process of doing that, someone important was captured" "let's bust her out" "k, MORE SWEET AIRSHIP TIME" Well I beat X-2 a while back (100% to see the secret ending). That game ruined the FFX canon so bad. You know they combined the FFX and FFVII worlds? FFX (and FFX-2) is prequel to FFVII. Ughh.... FFXII I never managed to beat. I would love to, but it looks like I wont be able to before next Tuesday. I'm nearly done with FFVIII so Maybe after spring break I'll go back to FFIX and so on. I would love to play all of them all the way through once.

Woah, seriously?!? How'd they pull that off? Did they do something ridiculous like say that Tidus got Yuna pregged out and her baby was the ancestor of Cloud? That would be a huge mind$#@% if they somehow tie together every Final Fantasy game... kind of like when people found out that an impression of the moon's face from Majora's Mask was in some valley in Twilight Princess, and that the TP universe is actually a world that young link failed to save because he was busy warping through time.

Well it could be seen as an allusion to FFVII, but there's nothing keeping it from being a link. There's a point where you can talk with Shinra (the al-bhed kid) and he mentions how the spirits of the farplane could be used as a power source and that it could supply energy all around the world by borrowing the energy fromSpira.
The director said he envisions FFX-2 as a sort of prequel. Ugh....
So...Shinra....Shin-Ra Co.. Farplane....lifestream. yea....

Ooh, weird. If I'd just heard that, I would've figured it was one of those things the translators threw in to be funny, but I guess if the director's saying he honestly thinks of it as a prequel, it's for real.
>_O why won't they just leave FFVII alone?

eh, I've heard many times about how the final fantasy universes are all supposed to tie together, but most of it is usually just fantard randomness. Musings about similarities between the Lifestream and the Mist from the Tree of Life, and the Mako and Materia and the role of Guardian Forces (Aeons, or Summons for you other people), etc etc. It's all really cool to speculate, but like mentioned above, there's a good chance it's all just mechanics, creator laziness/adherence to canon, etc.

Never heard anything somewhat reasonable tying any other games together.
Not sure I'd want to...
