    I never played through most of X-2 but it has the best ATB system and the best or second best overall battle system of all the Final Fantasies.

    And really the whole fanservice weeaboo complaints about FFX-2 are way overblown. What I played of it was fun and fast and wasn't the total fanservice people make it out to be.

    (Apolo)'gism.

    Most people dismiss X-2 as fanservice without adequately explaining why.

    And if you actually played it and dislike the battle system, I feel bad for you. It was pretty insane, and pretty awesome, and by far the best Active Time Battle system of any FF. It puts FF7, FF8, and FF9 to shame in that regard. Anyone who disagrees is absolutely stupid. Or lying, because they probably didn't play it.

    Most people just dismiss it based on the YuRiPa karaoke intro thing. Which is sad, because that is not totally reflective of the tone of all of X-2, not even the little bit I played. That would be like basing all of FFX on a few youtube videos of Rikku.
    I got to this scene and then I put down the controller and stopped playing

    ...I need to play X-2 again.

    I know, right?

    Actually, I've been thinking about this. Have you ever been in a coach seat on a plane? That is not a normal seat. It is a very very small seat. If you are over 300, then you will not really fit. I'd add "unless you're 6'5" or something" but if you are that tall you're also going to not fit!

    I hate flying

    it's such a pain

    the security is lame and getting there 2 hours early is lame and the seats are tiny and shitty and the whole experience blows

    Whereas on the train you can put your feet up or play cards with the person across from you and drink a beer and don't have to wear a seatbelt and you save like $50-100.

    You just have to be willing to spend more time traveling.

    Which is fine by me, I'll catch up on my reading.

    yeah

    I have to travel back to CA fairly frequently for work

    that's a 40+ hour train ride

    I don't think I could ever do a 14 hour flight again. I'm incapable of sleeping on a plane (or anywhere but in a bed) and I'm just generally miserable. I was so dehydrated by the end, it was ridiculous. They'd only give me 4oz of carbonated water every few HOURS. It was crazy!

    My fiancé's family is paying for our honeymoon on the condition that the destination is a surprise. I am looking forward to the "who even knows how many" hour long flight to Goa.

    Are they smaller than seats you'd find in a coliseum or auditorium? Because I can just fit in those, and I consider those the smallest seats on the planet.

    now i don't

    Lud, when your fear puts you at risk for cratering your life, then perhaps it's time to ponder professional help. I can understand a fear of flying. My fear of snakes is in that league. But my job doesn't put me at much risk of contact with snakes.

    The problem isn't really that the seats are small as it is that they pack you like sardines. Three guys my size would at least be a bit uncomfortable sitting in a row.

    The seats are about 17" across and packed right the fuck together. I'm sure your butt would fit in the seat physically but that's about it.

    In that ballpark. Lud, as long as the doc hasn't told you to go to a weigh station to be measured then you'll fit. It won't be comfortable. It's not really comfortable for anyone but you'll be more uncomfortable.

    I hate sleeping on a plane. I can do it but I always get a crick in my damn neck.
