Lately I've been doing a bit of research on what seems to be known as the infamous FFX-2. I'm wondering whether I should get it or not and I was hoping some people could help answer a few questions. 1. Is X-2's story as terrible as the characters are? I hear that Yuna and Rikku's characters are completely screwed up but is the story itself awful as well? 2. This could be a rumor, but I hear that the whole Tidus and Yuna reuniting at the end is optional. Is it? X ended really, really, really, really well and that whole bringing Tidus back to life thing sounds like it would really ruin the original story. 3. Is the gameplay any good? Most people criticize the characters and plotline but is the actual combat decent because it looks really good. 4. How much singing am I actually going to have to endure? I know there is a song in the opening but how much more is there? 5. I've heard a lot of criticizm towards Yuna and Rikku but is Paine any good? I know this sounds random and completely out of the blue but I don't want to look into the game if it's going to ruin the plotline of Final Fantasy X itself because I uphold that as one of the three greatest Final Fantasies ever. Anyway, question 1 is the question I care the most about so I'd appreciate it if someone could get back to me with some answers, thanks =D. | |||
Going with story, yea it sorta just nullifies all the good stuff in X. X was about making sacrifices, if X-2 is just getting back sacrifices, what have you learned? nothing, thats what you learned. Otherwise, the battle system is reminiscient of FFXII yet a little different. i think that each time you encounter an enemy, it goes into that seperate "arena" type of area of battle system.but yea, i heard the battle system is pretty good, despite the story being so abysmally contradictive to the first game. if you have the extra moneys and you're just kupo for final fantasy, get it if you want. | |||
The gameplay is in my opinion the only thing good about the game. 1. Garment Grids were a bit pointless because switching jobs in battle for a few powerups wasn't usually worth it. 2. The minigame, which I have forgotten the name of was fun, but extremely boring after a few rounds. 3. The mission system felt a lot like FFTA's mission system, which was bad. 4. You forgot to mention the music. The music was one of the things I hated most about the game. There isn't that much singing, but muting the game would be a good idea anyway. It was just a really boring game, even after ignoring some of the bigger defects like the music and the characters. | |||

FFX-2 was da bomb! I really don't see anything bad with it. 1.The story line is great too. You get to see Yuna but she's not so quiet and meek any more. She picked up some of Tidus' attitude. 2.SPOILER ALERT, DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE STORY: Tidus does return! but you have to meet certain requirements (100%) and there is an explaination for his return, you'll see, I don't want to ruin too much END SPOILER. 3. and 5.Paine, AWSOME! Gameplay AWSOME! 4.There are two songs in the game; Real Emotion (opener), and 1000 Words (concert). You also have to listen to Yuna, Rikku, and Paine sing but only for a little bit when using a certain attack while in the Songstress dressphere (which is useless and you should not use it, the dressphere that is). Overall this game is really good and when you're finished with FFX you should buy FFX-2 and play it and you will be amazed at how such a critisized game is actually pretty cool! | |||
Meh, the only thing I really like about this game is the title theme song, Eternity ~memories of the lightwaves~. THAT's ALL. I hate the mission system, it's like they're ripping it from FFTA, and I dislike how the story becomes and all. But I guess everyone have their own tastes. I have no offense to those who like or love X-2, but me personally agreed with everyone else who hate it. | |||
