well, Yeah. I am proud to own it. I mean it was not so bad to wher I could not continue to play it. It's just that it does not own up to the other FF titles. The battle system was pretty decent and the Dressphere system was well done. I also loved how they leveled up. It was original. But, the story line just left it to be a sucky story.

Seems to me that Square needs better story writers. :/.

Oh yeah, Agreed. Even most parts of the game had flawless graphical influances, which was a nice look a great improvement to the 'game'.

Maybe you could understand why, if you knew how many threads that I've posted in and a given a reason. If it pleases you; Then I'll give bloody reasons:

#Blitzball sucked.
#The battle system felt like it was meaninglessly laid out and felt so retarded.
#It didn't have a card game.
#The job system was completely retarded.
#Not alot of people categorize it as a final fantasy.
#The game was too ****ing short.
#There were only three people to play as during the entire game.
#It was a chick-flick.

Does that please you? enough of my time wasted.

This isn't just a thread to find what was the worst of the game, it did have good points. You seem to think having a female as a lead(ers) is a bad thing? Er, what do you think FFXIII is? ****, the chicks play a better role than the guys in most of the series -- and a card game? What? You want SE to recycle even more ideas?

Karlwithak · 02-10-2007, 11:52 AM

I say X 2 is better. I have only played X a little but i like X 2 better. I like the story line better and how Yuna is the main character

If you feel discussing the topic is wasting your time why don't you kindly GTFO so people who want to actually discuss it can? kthx

I'd reply to your reasons given in your post, but I can't be bothered.

the whole setup of X-2 was ****. yeah, the graphics were good but the missions ruined the feel of the game.

i hope X-2 is never repeated by SE, it degrades the FF series as a whole.

Naked Gackt · 02-10-2007, 12:28 PM

I definately don't agree with that, some of the early FF games were much much worse than X-2, FFIII remains one of my most hated games of all time.

Not a whole load of them show a lot of complexity, but their character's suit the style and feel of the game. I much prefer the X-2 incarnation of Yuna than the X version but I digress.

Which was what my problem was. The game was not fun. I didn't mind that the story was stupid and girly-girl. I found the story to be lighthearted and amusing. The reason I stopped playing it after 4 or 5 hours was the gameplay itself. It was retardly easy, making the game boring and mundane. And all the side quests you had to just to get 100% drained any real enjoyment that could be gotten.

A card game!? Are you high? lol. I hated those type of things! ugh, they were so lame.

But how does that make it different from all the other games where you have to do everything to get 100%? Either way, you're under no real obligation to go for the perfect ending. It's just an easter egg (a rather short one at that) for anyone who can be bothered with it.

Daesy · 02-10-2007, 11:43 PM

IMO....X-2 was horrible. It was boring and the good part was at the end. I think X was way better.

True, but the rest of the game wasn't worth playing either. Like I said, the battles and leveling system was pretty dull. The story was fun and the dress sphere system was interesting, but neither were worth playing the game for.

That said, the story of FFX was trite and over-dramatic. The sphere grid and battle system was the only interesting thing about it.

47 · 02-11-2007, 08:39 PM

the FF series as a whole has become trite and over dramatic.

i guess X-2 should be applauded for bringing something new and fresh to a franchise which, imo, is growing pretty stale.

Winter Nights · 02-11-2007, 09:09 PM

Which was my point. FFX had the quality gameplay and FFX-2 had the more interesting story.

47 · 02-11-2007, 09:15 PM

i wouldn't say the story was more interesting. FFX's story was pretty tight, yeah most of the characters sucked, but their quest was enthralling.

X-2 felt like a fan made mod.

Winter Nights · 02-11-2007, 09:28 PM

Aside from the epic feel, FFX's story did nothing for me. In fact, the game game would have been much more interesting if they cut alot of unneeded plot points out. Like Seymour. His whole purpose was to show the gamer that Yuna was willing to sacrifice for her people. Like we weren't already getting that by her pilgrimage? Tack on his 3 or 4 returns from the dead and you've got obvious clues that someone was trying to stretch the games length.

But again, problems that FF has had for awhile.

BaMbAm · 02-14-2007, 03:49 PM

wow, this is so so, wrong. x-2 in no way can even be compared to X. the sphere grid was good. i liked it a lot. but yeah, x-2 doesnt even compare in any way to x.
