This isn't the game they said it would be. Despite preview's promise of this being a non-liner mission-based FF (which is partially true). The percentage completion system is set up in such a linear way, it is nearly impsossible to even get 99% in your first playthrough, and impossible to get 100% w/o some sort of strategy guide due to the arbirartry nature of the linear story.

The female characters are occasionally nice to look at, but that's not a reason to play a game. (real women are better) Levelling up is dull, and there's not enough reason to switch out of different dress spheres once you've mastered the abilities.

In short, this game doesn't have the 'fun' 'story' or sense of "I must collect every item" that previous Final Fantasies brought to me. It's a struggle to make myself even finish this game, and for me that's a lot.

FFX-2 Cant wait

When I first read the reveiw on IGN about FFX-2 I was surprised. Never has there even been a attempt to make a sequal to the game. If you played FFX then you'll understand the story better, but I can make a valid bet that even if you haven't the story will explain itself. Hey and an even better thought is the fact that you can choose your own job. The addition that I was so happy about in Final Fantasy Tactics. The only unfortunate thing is since that game nothing has come out that remotely was the same in the series.
But now with a sequal on the way to one of the best FF games in the series I can expect better things to come. The return of Yuna (For those of you who didn't play the first game she was the summoner.) is just an added bonus. The first female lead team in FF and if what I am hearing is correct it will be the return of Riku. Unfortunatly you never know if there is going to be another person from FFX but the hope welling inside me the closer it is to coming out just is screaming. Squaresoft has had great ideas and finally they are going to come through with something great. I say to everybody go to the store and buy it when I comes out but be asured that you are going to wait your turn.

Square makes a hit

I haven't killed Sin yet but I've known the ending for almost a year and a half. I think Tidus never really died. He could of gotten a reward from the Aeons Or their love was anough to give him life.

I think that having Lulu and Wakka getting married was good idea. Having a baby was even better. In the game Wakka will tell you about his problem. He can't decide if he should be the father figure in their baby's life. Their are rumors that you get to see the baby.

The fact is that from what I heard that it really isn't Tidus, but my sources may be wrong.

Strike for Square

This game is just, well, cheesy. It captures none of the grandiose nature of the Final Fantasy series. There is no breathtaking world to explore, no sense of danger or need to succeed. It really has a half-baked plot you only discover toward the end of the game. This game is aimed much more at the Spice girls/Charlies angels fanclubs than fans of the FF series. I'm just not impressed. I'm still not sure if the $15 I spent on the game was worth it.

Sequel? What sequel?

This game was ridiculous and I was EXTREMELY disappointed with it. Being a huge fan of FFX, I was stoked for part two. Then, just with the intro of the game, I was pissed. This game blows. It's like Britney Spears designed a game and then threw up bubble gum on it while girls threw glitter in the air. This game is so girly and so overwhelmingly in direct contrast to the characters we used to know that I kept asking "What the hell is going on?" Since when have popstars been in the history of Spira? Apparently forever says the game. Stupid stupid premise for a sequel to an awesome awesome game.

Final Fantasy X is far superior...

Simply put, this game is no comparison to Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy X-2 is a disgrace to the entire series. first of all, there are only three playable characters, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine compared to the several characters on the other Final Fantasy games. Compared to FFX, X-2 has no aeons, overdrives, overkills, and no sphere grid. There is only a grid for clothing to change the characters' clothes and types. The storyline to X-2 is also pathetic, the girls are just trying to find spheres in hopes of finding Tidus from FFX. All in all, this game is a HUGE disappointment and I recommend renting this game before buying it.

it got sooooo BORING!! X_X

when i first bought this game i thought it was gonna be awsome,this game continues on from FFX.yuna just basically wants to find titus...but there is hardly any info mentioned in this game about him.its like she's just doin her own thing and the creator of the game decided to cram some titus stuff into the plot.this game is not what i expected,u basically have to complete missions all over spira some u may skip but if u want %100 then u have to go through all of them to get the perfect ending.its really boring after awhile,i found myself enjoying the missions atfirst :)......but then i was like X_X.

to simplify :

mission
battle
cut scene
airship

and it continues one like that,after a while it gets really boring.If u want to play a good rpg i HIGHLY recommend u play xenosaga :)

just gave this review 2 starts becuz of that catchy theme song at the beggning of the game :P

What has Square done to our beloved Final Fantasy

First of all its to short (i did it in less than 25 hours). Final Fantasy is known for story and there simply isnt one here. Second, the game feels more like a episode of a modern charlies angels than final fantasy game. YRP my ass. i m sorry if you like final fantsy like i do then you ll be really really disapointed with this below average effort. the only thing that has improved is the combat, which is now quite a bit faster and more fun..............this review is longer than the game.

yuck!!!

Square betrays its fans

The hints of Square's stumbling that gradually became visible over their past few games have finally blossomed into a masterstroke of failure. With X-2, Square proves that they no longer know what their fans want to play. Will they be able to develop a new fanbase of gamers ignorant of the massive betrayal? (I have no idea, but it doesn't matter to this review anyway.)

First of all, Square has finally decided to make a sequel...to the FF game nobody cared about. Not VII, not VI, not IV, not VIII, not even IX, but X. FFX wasn't that impressive a game to begin with. However, it had the benefit of a fairly interesting storyline with emotional weight behind it, and an innovative "Sphere" system that replaced the unrealistic and outdated "Level" experience system.

FFX-2, however, throws away this emotional weight in favor of Yuna abandoning her spiritual beliefs, changing clothes all the time, ripping off Lara Croft (Why didn't Eidos sue Square for that?), and becoming an idol singer. So, in other words, FFX-2 makes FFX a worse game, because now FFX's emotion doesn't matter. Not only that, but FFX-2 returns to the boring "Level" system.

FFX-2 also features a new focus on action-type gameplay, stuff you need reflexes for. But the whole point of RPGs is that you don't need reflexes to play them. Traditional RPG fans will not be able to master the skills needed to solve all the quests in the game.

In summary, many previous fans of the Final Fantasy series will be unable to enjoy this game. Speaking for myself, I will never buy anything made by Square, ever again.
