Final Fantasy X-2, a New Reality in Final Fantasy

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 28 / 31

Fans have been asking for this forever. This new reality for the Final Fantasy series has already shipped 1.8 million copies since March 13, 2003 in Japan and counting. This wonderful idea is scheduled to be released here in the United States on October 18, 2003.

After seeing a sphere containing Tidus trapped in some mysterious location, Yuna embarks on a quest to rescue him (hinted at in Final Fantasy X International) along with Rikku while they try to maintain peace in Spira. The new characters in the story include Paine, and Nooj who are leaders of rival factions that sprung up after Sin's demise. Wakka and Lulu are now married and Lulu is pregnant. In addition, details on a new pair of lovers, Lenne (a songstress who looks somewhat like Yuna) and a man looking surprisingly like...Tidus (although his name is currently a mystery) have emerged! Is this relation an alternate reality of Yuna and Tidus?

This new installment in the Final Fantasy series combines the new result plate system (like the job system, the main characters can change their appearance and skills by using dress-up spheres), stellar graphics (as in Final Fantasy X), amazing music (an enchanting single performed by Koda Kumi entitled Real Emotion) and a wonderful story line, an obvious trademark of Squaresoft. New jobs in Final Fantasy X-2 include the Songstress, Trainer, Dark Gunner, Dark Knight, Black Mage, and White Mage all of which have innate abilities which can be used by the main characters (Yuna, Rikku, and Paine).

Square is obviously making a sequel of their most popular game (taking into account unit sales) as a test to see whether it proves profitable or not. We, the fans, must unite and prove that is it quite lucrative. By doing this, we can look forward to multiple sequels of wonderful Square games such as Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII, and Tactics. Aren't you anxious to see what happened to Terra, Aeris, Cloud, Squall, Rinoa, and Ramza? With the approach of the Square/Enix merger we may soon see crossovers between Final Fantasy games and maybe even with Dragon Quest games! The future of RPGs looks bright with this first installment of hope. It looks like a new tide of masterpieces is on the horizon. Ride the wave with Final Fantasy X-2 and help keep the Final Fantasy sequels a reality!!

WOO! "FFX-2" has been bumped up from November 3 to October 18 AND I get to write the first review for it!! Well, needless to say, this is going to be one of the best "FF" games ever. For all of you "die-hard" fans out there who have been living under a rock for the past six months, here's a short synopsis:

The game takes place two years after (surprise!) Sin is defeated in a time called the "Eternal Nagi," or Eternal Calm. Yuna, Wakka, and Lulu have gone back to Besaid Island, Yuna is very famous (naturally), and Wakka and Lulu got married and are about to have a baby (YAY!). One day, Rikku stops by the Island and gives Yuna a mysterious sphere that pictures someone who looks just like Tidus! Now, Yuna has made it her mission to find her lost love. Both she and Rikku get some new ... clothes so that no one will recognize them because Yuna is so famous (and I guess Rikku is too; after all, she WAS Yuna's guardian!). A new, mysterious girl named Paine (pronounced "Pine") also joins their quest, which turns out to be a lot bigger then they expected...

As you can already see, this game is simply amazing! In addition to this great storyline, the battle system has been totally redefined, you can choose from over 10 different job classes during battle, AND there's a brand new Al-Bhed airship called "Celsius" that can take you anywhere in Spira right from the beginning of the game! Make sure that you all get this on October 18-or at least reserve it right here, right now!

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.

WHAT????

This is a travesty, the Final Fantasy series are meant to be completely unconnected to one another. Of course I loved Final Fantasy VII, but that doesn't mean I need to see the same characters again. The ending left out any chance of that anyway, personally I'm pretty sure they all died in the end anyway. Sequels are never any fun, it's an excuse to cut out a whole section of development time, the time in which a new world and characters are created, this is what makes every final fantasy game an adventure and a completely new experience, why would want that taken away, I personally am hoping that they will never make another sequel after this one, this is not the beginning of a new RPG era, just a marketting ploy gone wrong.

I give it Three stars only because as an RPG in general it may be okay, but as a final fantasy game, it will be below average at best

WOW. First off, I got my hands on the version from Japan, and wow. It's increadable. The story is well written and extrememly envolving. Yes it is a direct sequal to X which happends to be the first time Square has ever made a "real" sequal to another Final Fantasy game ever. I totaly am enjoying this game, and with the help of a translator I do understand what's going on. But I totaly suggest waiting untill to appropriate version for your language comes out.

This game again has Amazingly beautiful graphics, as well as another great musical score. The new battle system is astounding, allowing you to change abbilities in mid battle. Black mage - Knight, White Sorcerer - Black mage, etc. There are even a few new types of classes. Which you will have to explore.

I totaly recomend this game to any one who enjoyed FFX. As well as those who haven't. This game is set up in a way that even my little sister, who only saw me play FFX can figure out how to play.

A+ 10.5+ 100% what ever you want to call it that what It deserves.

What is up with reviewing a game before it comes out!

Every jappanese game I have played has nerdy, [*], irritateting dialog. It is so bad that they realy need to add an option on these games that let you skip all story line and dialog and just play the game. Since the dialog in the first final fantasy was so annoying, you would have to be a NERD to shell out money for the the second edition.

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.

YEAH!

This game looks AWESOME! Great graphics, a cool new character, plenty of spunk, cuteness, and romance! I can't wait to get this game!
FFX is my ultimate favorite FF. In fact, FFX got me into the whole FF series. I'm SO happy they made a sequel to this one, and I think they should make sequels to other FFs too! ^^

FINAL FANTASY X-2 GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ahve been a loyal fan to all of the Final Fantasy games. I have been dreaming of a sequel and there is finally going to be one! Out of all of the games FFX was the best choice for a sequel. The caharcters were the most indepth and you could feel the most emotion for them. Come on who doesn't want to see if Tidus and Yuna find eachother and get together? And what about Wakka and Lulu and the baby, who knows what that could develop into. Any way, i think that it is great that Square is finally making a sequel to and awesome.
