I'd say..........Shadow Hearts. It is an incredibly unique game. It is over too quickly however, and the graphics are rather yucky. But I value the graphics on what's trying to be said, rather then what's being said.....does that make sense?
I also bought FFX, and well, I don't think it's all that. And Alice is way cooler then Yuna will ever be! Even though I am not sure what's up with Alice's cure.....are those meant to be angel feathers or peanuts???
I'd say.......
Graphics FFX > Shadow Hearts
Characters Shadow Hearts > FFX
Story Not so sure yet....FFX takes a while to get going, I only hope it's worth it! So far, SH.
Music
SS > FFX I was really disapointed by FFX's music, after all this stuff I heard about its composer. It was there, but it's nothing special. I loved Shadow Hearts's unearthly tones, but I like the music to Asia better then Europe, the way I liked Sylvarant's music better then Tethe' Allas in Symphonia.
Okay.....that turned into a bit of a FFX bash, but I am enjoying both games, just one more then the other. What is your gaming idol at the moment?
