Replaying Final Fantasy X along with the @geeksandgrounds.bsky.social community over the next 2 months. I’ve tried to play through this game 2 times previously & feel off. Both at different points and for no specific reason. Feels perfect on the NS2. Really enjoying it. Gonna see it thru this time.
