So, is it as good as the previous Final Fantasies?

Methinks that I'm going to give it a try.

Well I'll just compare it to FFX, which I thought was better overall.

Storywise- FFX's was deeper. FFX-2 didn't concentrate on the story as much as it should have. Especially in the first two chapters.

Challenge- I found FFX-2 more difficult, which was a good thing.

Music- FFX wins this handsdown. I think most of X-2's music is horrible.

Characters- I definitely prefer Yuna's X-2 character to her FFX one. But overall FFX had more character development.

Battle system- I like FFX-2's better. It as good to have a semi fulltime system, where you could attack ast the same time, rather than the turbased kind most FF games have. I also prefer regular leveling up to the sphere grid in FFX. And the dress sphere idea is so... *_* I kinda missed the summons but the special dress spheres made up for that.

FFX-2 was also shorter compared to other FFs. New Game + somehwat makes up for it if you don't do everything the first time around.

FFX-2 doesn't really feel like an FF game but it's good in it's own right. You should give it a try.

I loved Final Fantasy X-2. True, it wasn't as deep as Final Fantasy X, but it was more lighthearted, which is always a good thing!

Plus, who doesn't like a game where the girls dress in sexy clothes and have the ability to transform like Sailor Moon in the middle of the fight?

I have no complaints. :D

I love Final Fantasy X-2. It rocks. I love how they use the same atmosphere as Final Fantasy X. It's so cool that there's a sequel to an FF game. All the other FF games rocked, FFX-2 is quite different due to the multiple endings. I replay it to see all the different endings. Since I beat all the Final Fantasy games, it's great that FFX-2 has multiple endings.

For those of you who have played Final Fantasy X-2, rate it, on a scale of 1 through 10. Don't forget to explain why.


I give it a 10. It's perfect. Just great. Perfect story, perfect acting, perfect music, perfect graphics. I sincerely believe it is the best Final Fantasy to date! Go Yunie!

So far, this game is a lot of fun.

One thing I wish they did, though, was have the dressphere you have equipped on your characters affect how they look outside of battle. Yuna is a black mage right now, and I would love if she looked like that (*_* I love the pointy hat) while wandering around in towns and stuff...

I love the battle system in this game - it really keeps you on your toes and forces you to make your decisions quicker than in other FF games. However, I HATE the non-linearity of it; I find myself doing these misisons, and wondering what in the world it has to do with Yuna's original goal. I guess I was jaded by FFX; the story there was a lot more serious, and I actually had some respect for the villains in that one.

Yeah, I agree about some of the non-linearity and stuff. And am I the only one who thinks of Team Rocket when I see the woman and two men appear? (the annoying trio who steals spheres, too)

One of the FAQs at GameFAQs referred to them as "the Team Rocket of FFX-2", so I guess not.

iirc, one of the complaints about FFX was that it was too linear (which it was), so they probably tried to remedy that...

I agree. And I have yet to see a RPG any more linear than that..ever.
