Do you get depressed when finishing a FF game?

It is a bit depressing, especially when you've gone hard and it all comes to an end. My problem at the moment is deciding WHEN it ends!

I'm atm considering restarting Final Fantasy X after well over 100 hours of hard work. I'm very anal about having completed it perfectly. Firstly, I found out about the whole opening the chests in the right order (in Omega ruins) well after the fact. I figured I could let that pass though, as 99 warp spheres doesn't really excite me at all, and it's hardly like it's a one of a kind item/armour/weapon.

Now the second issue is that I've somehow stuffed up with O'aka, and he hasn't appeared at Macalania woods (from what I read, I must of missed him somewhere at least once - seems crazy). For a possible third issue, I've just defeated sin, and am inside him (near the end of the game). I haven't got all the memory spheres (the ones based on your experiences).Now will they become available later, or have I stuffed up or missed something here as well?

Am I just too fussy? I welcome any thoughts and answers!

I wouldn't use the word "depressed". I only get a little sad when there's nothing so good as that to play anymore.

I love to get 100% completion too, not just FF though (but FF is the most important for me to get all I can out of it).

I feel slightly "lost" in a way after finishing an FF cos I don't know what to do :lol: .... so I buy another game!

Well, I get a little empty feeling after every game I finish. There, it's done. Was it REALLY worth it? What am I going to do now?! If the game was good and has a sequel (like Jak) I continue with that. Otherwise I start another.

FFs are a little complicated: I'm kinda sad it's over, but then again it's nice to start another story after 70+ hours of the one I finished :P Neither IX or VIII have left me really empty, I'm soon finished with X, but after KH I was really lost, I had no idea what to do next. Well, it didn't last long :P

Oh, and I usually take a little break before I start a completely different story. So when I finish X, I won't start IX right away, I'm playing Ratchet and Viewtiful Joe a little more for a while. And finish KOTOR :P So no similar stuff right away, so the experience can really sink in :P

A little bit, I tend to delay going to the final dungeon to work on sidequests for that reason.  For whatever reason, I was most "depressed" after I beat IX since I was enjoying it so much.argianas

yeah same here, FFIX is such a great that I just did not want it to end.

I usually get somewhat depressed when I finish them.

One exeption is FFVIII because the ending is too good so it took some time before I got depressed :P

Yes because I can't believe I spent 50+ hours on the game :lol:

Not really it just makes me want to play it again and try to get everything and see every place.

i'd say what the most depressing thing is is when the final fantasy game doesn't live up to my expectations, then i get depressed thinking that they'll never make another GREAT final fantasy game again!shadesof6

Yeah, I agree with you on that point

Yeah, I agree with you on that point

that's why I don't want to play FF X-2. People say the game ruins the whole story of FFX.

i'm not sure if it completely ruins it, it does give you a more complete sense of closure, but it also doesn't explain some other stuff that happens in the story which is kind of a cop-out...oh well.

Well, I would say that the good ending makes the ending of FFX seem pointless
