A Final Fantasy Fan's Dream

If you love final fantasy games and especially liked FFX, you will not want this game. In fact, you will NEED THIS GAME. There are so many more features that FFX didn't have to offer. It makes me wonder how a game could get any more fun than FFX. That is why I have to get this game, I'm not even going to read reviews. I'm just going to snatch it up right away no matter what. There will be a JOB SYSTEM!!! You can choose your party members and have them be whatever class you want!! I'm pretty sure it's like FFV's job system, with more classes. If you loved FFX's music wait until you hear X-2's. Graphics are as great as ever, and FFX graphics were the best I have ever seen on PS2. Some things look so real I thought I was watching a movie for a sec. If you've never bothered to play FFX, you really need to play it. The storylines of both games are INCREDIBLE. X-2 is the first FF sequal so far. The storyline continues as it left off on FFX, amazing as is gets. I can't wait until it's release later this year. You should still get this game even if you feel like FFX isn't that great since it's different. If you truly love FF games you will get this. This RPG is probably going to be one of the best. Must buy A+

Square/Enix surprised me with such a great sequel

I have to admit that when I first heard that Square was going to make a sequel to one of it's FF games that I was a little skeptical. I had even more doubts when I found out that Tidus was absent from the game and Yuna had taken over as the main character. I bought the game anyway and decided to give it a chance. Here's what I thought:

This game ties in so much with the origanal FFX. Trust me, if you didn't play the original FFX all the way through then you'll be lost in this game. It's amazing how Sqare made the events from FFX tie into this game so much.

Now for the battle system. As you already know, the battle system changes on each Final Fantasy game. On this one the characters use dresspheres (jobs) and they can change jobs during the battle. The combat is non-linear, which means multiple characters can attack all at once to increase damage. There's no more attack-be attacked-attack patterns. Another huge difference is the absence of aeons (remember they were destroyed at the end of FFX). Believe me, once you get into the game you won't mind there not being any aeons. The ATB system has also been brought back to FFX-2.

As for the storyline I have to honestly say that it's incredible. Almost as good as FF8 and FF7. Yuna becomes a sphere hunter and on a journey to find Tidus. The great thing about the story of this game is that so many different things can happen depending on what decisions you make. In Chapter 2 of the game you will make a decision that will determine most of the events to occur in the rest of the game. There's also a completion percentage in the game and you can view various endings depending on how much of the game you completed.

As for the sound, it's slightly above average. It's not as good as FF7-10 but it's not nearly as horrible as FFTA. Some of the tunes are nice while others are annoying.

The replayability of this game is one of its biggest assets. This game is designed so that different events occur depending on the decisions you make. You can play the game more than once to experience different outcomes. This game also lets you start a "New Game Plus". This means that you can carry over the items, gil, accesories, dresspheres, abilities, etc. that you had in your first game. Oh yeah your levels don't carry over to your new game, so don't think you're going to get god-like characters that easily. I've beaten it once and I'm definitely playing it again to get all the things I missed in my first game.

The sidequests/mini-games in FFX-2 are immense. This game has more mini-games than ANY other FF title before. That adds a lot to the overall plot of the game and this game has a challenging 100-floor dungeon called Via Infinito for veteran FF players. Believe me this place IS A REAL CHALLENGE. I still have yet to beat it. There's so many various rewards and great accesories to be acquired by doing the sidequests.

Overall this is a great game. I saw some of the other 1 sentence reviews where people said this game sucks because Tidus isn't here. You can tell that they obviously haven't played the game and show their ignorance with those simple-minded reviews. I recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of RPG games. Also you need to play FFX if you haven't already or else you'll be confused with this game.

This is a great addition to Final Fantasy Series. The graphics have improved. You only use 3 chracters in this game who are Yuna, Rikku, and Paine. The story is great with them finding out the mystery of all the spheres they collect. I like the fast pace turn base rpg system. It seems a bit faster than in other final fantasies I have played before. The cinemas are great too because Yuna and Rikku sometimes act like they are little girls which makes it funny. So when the game comes out in america, definitley buy it! I kinda wish I would have waited for the english version because I can't read japanese very well so it gets kinda frustrated, but not to worry I keep making progress! The downfall to the game might probably be the terrible english voice-overs. In FFX, the voice acting was terrible. I like how japanese people put so much feeling into their voice-overs. If you can understand japanese well and can read at a high level of it, then buy the japanese version. It will be more enjoyable. I have to admit that they use a rather complex japanese vocabulary. If I can make it through you'll be able to so.... Overall, this game will be a hit.

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!

If you loved 10--This is ALL for you!!

I have to say I was kind of concerned at first, because this is Squares first attempt at a TRUE sequel, but I got a playable demo of the game in a gaming magazine and WOW. It is just fantastic.

10- The Graphics are just beautiful! (Of course that's expected from any square game now) I was REALLY excited about all of the costumes, and they are just GREAT!

8- Gameplay is kinda annoying with the jumping and climbing up/down ledges, and the active battle system without the option of 'wait' was kinda annoying, but I amazingly quickly got used to it. I couldn't pull up the menu in the demo, so I really can't comment on that...

9- Sounds were cool. Some of the music is really not that great.(Some of it sounds like it's right from the 70's) but it's only in a few particular spots. The voices are just great, I was saddened however when I realized that the girl who did Rikkus voice in 10 is not the same person in 10-2(I think...though I'm almost positive. She sounds a little too grown up).

10- Overall I CAN NOT WAIT to buy this game. I'm gonna get a new memory card just for 10-2 cause I know there's gonna be a lot of scenes I will want to save! Buy this ASAP! And to all the Square fans out there: 'BOW before the almighty Squaresoft gods!'

get the december issue of play station 2 magazine to play 2 levels:
"gullwings swoop into action!"
"operation:infiltrate bevelle!"
in the first one you fight Leblanc and her henchmen,you race them to the top and fight the freaky scorpion guy boris.
in the second one you walk around a maze then you fight evil bahatmut.
it goes back to real-time battles so its a little bit tougher. and paine(new) really kicks butt!!!! the music is a lot better,but its so good it gets you distracted,so you might want to put the television on mute!! till next time,
kenny
