Final Fantasy X-2

**Barkworm** · 04-09-2004, 03:22 PM

I was kinda scared to open a thread about this game (

) since so many people seem to hate it but I finished it today with the good ending and I thought it was really worth the money. Okay, it was awfully cheesy at some points (the intro with that "Real Emotion" song was just...

) but it felt good to see what happened to the characters. Wakka and Lulu's story was really cute and it was also cool to see Kimarhi as the Ronsos' elder. Plus I really dig "1000 no Kotoba" which was almost as good as "Suteki da ne" imo.
Anyone else liked it (there has to be someone since so many people bought it

)?

Ah, Koda Kumi, how I love her. What a bad translation of Real Emotion. Yeah, I didn't like the game, but I'm not going to hate people that do like it. I played it for a day or so and traded it in.

Square-Enix should be ashamed of themselves for whoring out their flagship series. That game makes me want to vomit.

Except Rikku........

Besides the fact that is was a direct sequel to Final Fantasy X (which is a big no-no in the Final Fantasy series) and that the lead characters were all female, I actually enjoyed this game a lot. It's got the classic Final Fantasy gameplay with some innovations to keep things interesting. I found the dress sphere system to be a pleasant new take on the job system. I have played through the game twice and have gotten 100% completion. It's probably not my favorite FF title, but it was still a lot of fun.

I have the game, and I like it... I'm nowhere near to getting it done, though. Maybe I should start playing that again...

What was so bad about it? I often here people say that it sucked but I never get to hear why. Of course there was a lot of sappy stuff in it but the gameplay is great!

It's cheese man, pure cheese. Problem with all these new FF titles Square is pumping out these days is that they're nothing like the old NES and SNES games, which ironically made Square and Final Fantasy what they are today. That's called selling out. Can't take an RPG seriously if the main characters are 3 little girls.

I thought there was a lot of stuff wrong with FFX to begin with, so to make a sequel is idiotic to me. I will agree that both games have very good battle systems, but the rest of the concepts of them just tend to weigh 'em down.
