#(seems like a nojima writing trademark.. 8 also had a very solid interesting and grounded beginning)

(talking abt ffx) yknow for a game that uses dreams as very significant plot points, you would think that dreams would be featured more heavily in its story than just as the final few plot reveals, but instead it was used very lightly which is a bit.... eh..?

like tidus Did dream very often in the beginning, like he dreamt when entering spira, dreamt twice in besaid.... and iirc he doesnt dream again until zanarkand. not just him but no other characters are seen dreaming i dont think. like i might be wrong and there may hv been dreams im not remembering but yeah the lack of dreams kinda makes the story feel a bit.. funny, for a lack of a better word. 10's pacing is a bit disjointed to me and i REALLY wish i wasnt spoiled for this game so i would know whether or not i wouldve worked out that tidus was a dream myself or if it wouldve felt like it came out of nowhere instead 😑
