...a giant crab?!?! ok.. i dont remember THAT part!!!!!

Anyways... ive gotta disagree, its definatly not the worst sequel to date.. admittedly I cant think of any others right now.. but im sure its not!! Its really not that bad of a game if you just ignore the story and the characters!!!! Its actually pretty fun to play.. just not up to scratch for a FF game.. I mean along with gameplay the story is a really big part of FF games (being RPG's and all!!!) and the story on this just majorly lets it down, plus the whole shallow girly character thing is upsetting!!

I keep on saying this to people, there is a storyline. Yuna is looking for Tidus, she gets stuck in the middle of two lovers Lenne and Shuyin and Shuyin is going to destroy the world for his love and then at the end Yuna finds Tidus (If you completed the side quest)

I didn't really enjoy the game that much though I played it for the FF experiance though I have to agree with Leona it isn't the worst sequal to date and not Square's worst to date. Square-Enix's yes but not Square's allone. The worst one Square did was (From what I have heard) Mystic Quest or somthing like that.

Yeah lol.

Hmmmm... I've laready discussed my reasons for not liking FFX-2 but I think you missed them in the other topic... So I quote...

QUOTE
I have to agree with Ayesuku about FFX-2 although I wouldn't say it was the worst game ever to come out of Square (that would be Saga Frontier 2, I played that game for 5mins and hated every second of it! lol! I took it back after my brother played 30mins of it and hated it equal amounts). The lack of effort they put into X-2 is very apparent, they could have made it sooo much better than it is (for example the Precepts Guard in FFX-2, is the Spectral Keeper from FFX with different stats. They look EXACTLY the same.)

I have other issues with FFX-2 that haven't been disscussed yet in this topic by anyone. My main problem (as with many FFX-2 fans) is that they made it far too girly. The dress sphere's were a good idea and could have been used in the game without all the other girly-ness added. For example I found it so ridiculous that Yuna gained Lenne's singing abilities just from wearing a dress sphere, there was no need for Yuna to be able to sing within the game apart from drawing female gamers into the FF franchise. The heart of the Farplane was probably the most ridiculous FF "dungeon" or place I've ever been in. Why would the center of the Farplane be musical? They only made it like that so it would tie in with Lenne/Yuna's singing bits, to make that seem less ridiculous. Nothing in FFX suggested the heart of the Farplane would be musical, which annoys me even more.

FFX-2 also feels like Square Enix trying to make up for all the mistakes (or bits the fans weren't too keen on) in FFX. It went from being too linear (in the sense that you can't explore freely from an early point in the game) to suddenly having loads to do and not actually being sure of what order you needed to do things. It never felt like you earned the right to fly either. You already had the Celsius at the start of the game unlike the other FF's where you had to earn your right to fly, as such, by getting a flying vehical later in the game.

I also thought Spira got over Sin incrediably quickly, but that's probably just me being weird. Oh and the lack of anything Vegnagun shaped in FFX... You would have thought someone would have tried to use it to stop Sin...

Anyway... I personally think it's the worst FF game on the PS/PS2.


And for the lack of Storyline comment... Goda is right there is storyline... Although admitedly it takes a while to get into properly. You've just gotta go with the flow... If you can handle it. Lol!

I think this topic is a waste of my time.

There are many other topics about this and they have all been essentially proven wrong. If you dont like the game...fine but you dont need to tell us as we've been told it amillion times before.

As said in all the rest of the posts, there is a storyline

FFX-2 is a good game, but its nowhere near as good as 7 and 10

If you dont like it, fine but you dont have to cry about it to us

stephen griffiths - August 20, 2005 11:25 PM (GMT)
excuse me if im wrong but this is a forum where we discuss various final fantasies and what we like and dislike in them?

as i said i dont like the games for the mentioned reasons above

i havent been here so long and havent seen the other posts about it

this isnt at AZA its at jenova caus ei dont think that was particularly necessary

i think that for a final fantasy it was subpar

it was like they had just used the same map pack and changed the fighting and voice actors a bit.

i just think that it was a bit of a waste of money when all there is to do is hunt spheres

i thought they could of made it a lot better with maybe a bigger story and more than three characters

this is my opinion and im intitled to them

davesearle - September 9, 2005 02:15 AM (GMT)
I definately agree more characters were needed in this game. OK, Im a guy and I HATED the all girl cast, but trust me I would have hated an all guy cast just as much. In games like FF you NEED at least some kind of a balance between characters.


I also hated the amount that Yunas character had changed. Sure Im sure she would have changed after everything that happened in FF X, but come on they even changed the way she ran to make her more girly, the way she speaks to make her sound more....annoying and the way she dresses to make her more slutty.

the reason these games are so successful is because when playin them you can really get into the story. Sure there was a story in this, but honestly do we really care what happened to Shuyin and Lenne?

In my opinion this game was released for the company not the fans, it was released as a pop song in game form, to get the younger people into it, half naked girls to get guys to buy it and an all female cast to get girls to buy it, with a Final Fantasy title to get fans to buy it. Surely before even taking this game out of the box every single person playing it knew there was a happy ending coming?!

Wheres the fun in playing the game and hearing the story? I was 99% sure Tidus would be back at the end as soon as I heard there was a sequel, but I bought it because it was a FF game and Ive loved them all so far, and I figured that the story would still suck me in. Sadly the reason I like FF is because I get involved in the characters because I control them, and really get into it. When the main story is about characters that I have never heard of, never met and to be honest couldnt give a damn about its dissapointing, especially when the main characters in the game have such a weak storyline with them its untrue (Yuna looking for Tidus.......hunting for spheres......being able to change my clothes while fighting....cant thing of anything else right now).

I know everyone is entiteled to their opinions and I respect that, but come on if this game was made by anyone else and released by a company totally unrelated to FF half the people defending it would probably never have bought it in the first place.

Hi davesearle haven't seen you for a while. Keep in mind that topics over two weeks old are considered dead and shouldn't be posted in... although it WAS very refreshing to see a quality post like that.

Waste of money! at least prices are coming down if you really want it

can't belive it ever got 9/10 by the OFFICIAL ps2 mag (in the uk)

Ritsuka - September 10, 2005 09:49 PM (GMT)
I don't think it's thw worst Square has done, but I agree with the most things you said, though I enjoy the game, It could be better. In fact, I was more dissapointed in FFX , but well....I had to buy FFX-2

I agree.

G_Babe - October 9, 2005 11:48 AM (GMT)
I kind of liked the game a lot :s
And it certainly wasn't a wast of money for me ... I found it very sweet , and all the girls in it ... I call that G!RL POWER !!!
Rikku was so funny ( ow poopie :p ) and Gippal is hot , hihi (not so hot as cloud but hey ... ) .
The storyline could be better , and yeah more characters could be fun , But you have to agree the endings were great .
No , It was worth all my money !
and please now don't flame on me ... It is just my opinion ...

Dun Dun Dun, kingtard.

Hey man just playing with ya, I see your new here, so take a look at the rules, rezzing ones in particaular, and make sure if you reply to a topic its not over 2 weeks old. Start up a new topic if ya wanna discuss something on the same lines.

Kryptonite_Dude - January 12, 2006 10:00 PM (GMT)
Bustamo pls don't mod people. members can't tell nor ask nor suggest to other members about rules so please refrain from doing so as this has already been dealt with

Relient A - January 13, 2006 12:24 AM (GMT)
Since its already been rezzed, I would like to add I decided on something. And I mean other than skipping almost every post before the last 3. FFX-2 is a great game.... for a non-FF title.
