Why is FFX beloved and FFXIII hated when they have the exact same gameplay formula and flaws?

FFLR is one of my favorite FFs but I hated FFXIII

It's fucked up, isn't it? As others have already said, it's mostly just down to people viewing FFX with nostalgia goggles since they first played it when they were kids.

But Snow is like such a Hero bro

>the sphere grid is almost entirely linear.
So you never used it or stuck to the "intended" paths?
The best part about the sphere grid is that you can do whatever you want.

>b-but the camera is more exciting!
wow what great criticism.

>X had closure with consequence
no it didn't. it had a wet fart ending where every important character is handwaved away as a magical dream summon, not a real person, all for the sake of an epic twist. even then, they still resurrected tidus anyway.

I don't have to read a fucking datalog to understand the story
I don't want to punch half the cast
There are actual side characters
I can actually revisit most areas if I want to

And that is why X is better.

I still enjoyed 10, i personally love linear games so i loved ff10. I still enjoyed 13 more because of the gameplay system. I also almost quit 10 at that blitzball minigame...

they are ovall 2 great games and i understand certain critique on 13 but the folks crying about the muh hallways really need to shut the fuck up you can go and loop up any longplay and google and it will be hallways upon hallways

>just like x.
Wrong. FFX has towns, branching pathways, areas to explore, dungeons. Etc.

4th time someone in this thread is telling you this. Why do you have such a difficult time processing information ?

elevator anything is always great music.
