Final Fantasy X-2

4 Rating: 4, Useful: 1 / 4

Overall, the story line is pretty good. The graphics are excellent and the psuedo active battle with a job system like in Final Fantasy Tactics makes for fast paced battles and interesting strategies. However, if you're looking for the same characters as in FFX, you might be a little disappointed. Even Yuna is fundamentally different, more like a valley girl than the summoner intent on saving the world. This may be attributed to character development but I like to think of it more as the game designers trying to aim for a different audience than what FF games usually go for.

A Great Game

I've played this game once and am playing it again. In terms of storyline, it is absolutely wonderful. You get to play as three female sphere hunters: Yuna, Rikku, and a new character Paine. They all have great depth and personality. Yuna has become a sphere hunter and is searching for Tidus who disappeared at the end of Final Fantasy X. In my opinion, it seriously needed to be wrapped up and this game did the job. There's of course a deeper story to all of this and it gets even more sad when deaths come into play. :( And that one Cinema in the Thunder Plains brings me to tears (for those who played the game, you know what I'm talking about).

The battle system is something new. It's almost real time battles. Of course, it's also turn-based. Another unique thing is the sphere grid has been replaced with 'Dress Spheres' and the leveling system is back. The characters can change their 'jobs' in and out of battle. The transformation sequences are rather gorgeous except somehow, this game has gotten a little perverse. Probably to attract male players. Each girl also has her own ultimate dress sphere that you can find. However, there are some things I didn't like about this system. For one, the monsters are weak shadows of their former selves in Final Fantasy X. Monsters that once had thousands of damage are reduced to weaklings. It's sad, but oh well.

Outside of battle, there are loads of missions and Yuna can actually jump and climb to get to certain areas. Oh, about the missions, you don't need to complete all the missions to end the game. However, depending on how much of the game you complete, you get different endings. That's something unique as well. And with all these different missions and side missions, you can never get bored.

As for the music, it's changed loads now that Uematsu's no longer doing the music. :( But it's still good. Some tunes can get a little annoying, but there are some really good tunes too. Overall, it's not bad. The voice acting is also rather well done. Except, I really don't like Yuna's voice much. I didn't like it in FFX and I hate it even more in FFX-2 since she's a changed person.

Graphics have improved loads. The Cinema scenes look even more life-like now compared to FFX and I thought it'd be impossible for the PS2. ^^ Guess I was wrong huh, which is a good thing.

Overall, I'd have to give this game a 4/5. However, 5/5 for how fun it was. It actually managed to keep me focused on this and considering how my mind seems to have wander lust constantly, that's saying something.

For those of you who want to buy this game just to try out a Final Fantasy game, don't bother. Unless you've played Final Fantasy X, you'll be completely lost. But for those Final Fantasy fans and Final Fantasy X players, I highly reccommend this game.

do you really like this

If you forgot everything you ever knew about final fantasy X and this came out, you would think it was so stupid. The plot, trying to find a guy. Who would want to play that. The cutscene graphics are very good. almost real. But the gameplay graphics are about the same as final fantasy X that came out 2 years ago. The powering up system is horrible and doing special movies you have to change cloths. It is very confusing and not worth getting into. The voices are good. The game takes 30 hours to beat. The battling is not at all stragetic because you have a certain amount of time before an enemy attacks. You just say attack everytime. Yuna's song is awful.

A Disapointment...

First of all, I am a long time fan of the final fantasy series, but after playing this game, i've almost lost all hope in it. FF 8 and 9 were kind of disheartening-but when I bought ten, I thought square was getting back on the right track. What the heck were they thinking when they made this game? After the first fifteen minutes of playing I thought it was like a charlie's angels video game (not praise) And Yuna, the polite, kind, Priestess that we knew from X has turned into a trigger-happy singer/hunter(?). Even the graphics seem to be worse compared to the last game.

There is soo many plot holes in this game as well. I thought at the end of ten it was said that all the aeons were destroyed? And why is brother so obsessed with Yuna(a relative of his?) Why when you recieve an item does it say "Scored the key Item ...!" I'm gonna go to a used game store right now and sell this... I'm sticking with six and seven.

Very Cool Game

i love the final fantasy series and i love this game, it has really cool graphics and the non linear story makes traveling around and completing the game a lot easier, but you definitly need to play final fantasy x first! and if you liked final fantasy x this is a great continuation and i highly recommend it!

A Fantastic Followup

Final Fantasy X-2 is a great sequel to one of the most in depth rpgs of late. The followup picks up two years after the first. The games overall feel and plot however, differ greatly from that of it's predicesor. The new game has a girly, hip yet fun attitude. The game is a fast-paced lighthearted rpg. It will stay as one of my favorites for years to come.

FFX-2 ruins a classic tragedy!

Imagine if they made Romeo and Juliet 2, and they had Romeo and Juliet come back to life and live happily ever after. Now you know what Final Fantasy X-2 is all about.

Now that I know how FFX-2 turns out, I don't have need to keep my original FFX copy that I always thought of as a classic treasure. FFX had a definite ending, and realistically it was about one thing, a tragic romance. When FFX-2 was announced, I think it was obvious how it would turn out, and it does turn out that way. I was a bit surprised that the developers of the game where this predictable. I kept telling myself, something else has to happen, it can't turn out like a Disney fairytale, but deep down inside I think I knew it.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned I just needed confirmation that this was true, so that I wouldn't waste my time playing the game. I don't think I'll ever play another Final Fantasy game again. The Final Fantasy train stops here.

X-2 Review

X-2 is a continuation of x. Gameplay is quite different than the first one.. Has more of a music theme to it if anything.. Has a good story line but be ready to relearn a new power up grid system.. Im a FF nut so I thought this was a fairly good game...

Could we get strong female roles without them being half naked?

Although I have always like the job concept of the older final fantasy series I have a hard time stomaching the mindless slutty characters of FF X-2. Hopping around barely dressed acting like grade school cheerleaders does not appeal to anyone but teenagers. It would be nice to see a female character in clothing that covers more than the essentials, who is strong willed, uses her brain and can kick [...]! Possibly a Mulan type character without the dressing up like a man to fit in. That battle system is fine I do like that you can change jobs in the middle of a battle. So I give this game 2 stars because the concepts is right it is just the characters, clothing and personality that is wrong. Square should be ashamed of themselves for portraying women like this in an already self obsorbed egotistical world.
Shame on you Square.
