FFX-2: The Dissapointing Sequel?

Is there anyone out there that thinks, as i do, that FFX-2 is absolutely crap compared to FFX?
I bought it feeling excited, thinking that i was buying the sequel to a great game like Final Fantasy X, and what do i get?
Was Square feeling to lazy to make a good game? >:O

OMG. Why the fuck did you put this here when you already made another thread exactly like it in the proper forum? Are you really such a whiny bitch that you have to parade it in front of everyone you possibly can?

Just my opinion on the subject. Jeez! =-O

I really have mixed feelings on this topic and one question that I must ask is, have you yourself finished Final Fantasy X-2 yet? If so, have you done it with 100%?

I think that while X-2 isn’t quite the epic that FFX was, it is still a very authentic and fine RPG. Once you get over the Japenese kookiness, you really begin to appreciate more. Whilst some scenes remind you of a mix of Charlie’s Angels and Sailor Moon, others make you also follow the story and realise that this game is good for several things such as the semi real time battle engine for hardcore fast paced combat, the polished graphics and fixed clipping issues, multiple endings, and the addition of so many side quests and mini games which equate to majority of FFX’s playing time, so the game is just as big.

I think that both games have both their strengths and weaknesses, and sometimes FFX-2 feels like an add-on, when it is a finely produced RPG.

couldnt have sayed it better my self

To answer your question, no i have not QUITE passed the game on 100%, i kinda didn’t bother with all this digging in the desert stuff, but i have passed the game excluding some small things.
The things that bother me are:
The storyline (this is just an opinion so don’t get abused or anything, not that i thought anyone would be, Prak) is not what i would have expected from the sequel to FFX. FFX’s storyline kept you gripped every second of the way. In ffx-2, i constantly struggled to keep myself interested.
The battle system, does anyone miss the sphere grid and customizable weapons? Well i do! And what in the world possessed them to use DRESS SPHERES?!?!? Well i hope i don’t get any more abusive messages. Keep that for msn messenger!

AAHH I thought dress spheres were great

Personally, i prefer the Turn based battle instead, it allows you to carefully plan your every move, considering the enemys weaknesses.

So what? Your personal preference has no impact on whether it was a good game or not. And all evidence points to good.

Look, will you just piss off and stop bothering me?

LOL prak , never seen you this agro

Depends on you, actually.

May everyone have a delightful New Year, except Prak, who can burn in hell for all i care!

Pardon me if I fail to be offended. :laugh:

Nicely you treat eachother on the forum, this will be a good example for how manners in a REAL forum should be.

Moo, we do have a FFX-2 forum you know. ;o

*moved*

oooo can i burn in hell too that sounds fun
no but seriously i personaly think that they only made ffx-2 because they thought "well hey the 1st one was a success why dont we make another and give it a nice title like ffx-2 we could make loads of money just because of the title not the content"
son of a glitch that game was bad

I agree with that. Why couldn’t they just leave FFX’s many good thing such as turn based fighting, weapon modification, summoning and so on, and not put in things like, ATB and DRESS SPRES (DRESS SPHERES? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?)

Yes I totally agree with you. It was very boring, not much happened, and you change your abilities by changing your dress…>_<
You are stuck with the same 3 characters throughout the whole game, and they are annoying 90% of the time.
I sent the game back to the shop the week after I got it, and I’ve never regreted it.

i think its a great RPG maybe not as good as FFX but still i thought the Dress Spheres and new battle mode where really good the only thing that let it down was well………i dunno really mainly the storyline and junk i still found it dissapointing as someone else said i was really excited but then…………well thats the same with me 🙂

Can someone please explain to me what is good about dress spheres?!?!
I reckon they are the crapppiest, lamest, most annoying thing that ever entered a Final Fantasy game. I’m serious.

Whoa… where the did this come from, and how did it get so many posts already? Another section huh? Hoo boy, well, if there’s already another one… closed!
