The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) of the year 2010 allows us to see a trailer of the new Zelda game which is coming for the Nintendo Wii. The first thing I noted about the new game is that the graphics doesn’t intend to be very realistic, although they look well. The graphics of the game could be described as an intermediate between the cell shading technique (used in Wind Waker) and the more realistic one used in Twilight Princess.

The trailer also shows some battles and Link touring some places. The game looks superior to its predecessor in the way in which the characters move as well that in the physics. Let’s add that, with the Wii motion plus, the movements of the player will be a lot more accurate. These aspects opens a new world of possibilities and fun in the game which could become it the best Zelda game in terms of playability.

Final Fantasy X: My Favorite Storyline of any FF tittle

For me, FF X is not the best game of the FF series, but its storyline is simply outstanding. Sin, an enormous monster that destroys everything in its path, is the enemy in this adventure. The seven main characters, Lulu, Waka, Riku, Kimahri, Auron, Yuna and Tidus, have to do a journey for Yuna to end with the Monster. The problem is that, in order to destroy the enemy, Yuna has to sacrifice herself.

The game is very lineal if you compare it with other FF games where you were free to move over the world, but the story is being told in a very fluent way. You always have your objective clear: to let Yuna reach her destiny.

However, at the end the heroes decide to defeat the enemy in a different way, a way that will maintain Yuna alive but will compromise the lives of Auron and Tidus: both of them are not from the same time of Yuna and the other 4 characters, they come from the past.

At the end, Sin is defeated, but Tidus and Auron die definitely. Incredible! For the first time in Final Fantasy games a main character died. It’s true that at the end, after the credits, you can see a short clip of Tidus swimming in the ocean, but I consider that ending and the resulting FF X-2 game as an alternative ending for the FF X story.
