Final Fantasy X-2

[Typhoid]

What pleased or dissapointed you about this game?

For me, it was only disapointments, no major pleasings.

Warning, if you dont want to know what happens in the game, please dont read, i give little stupid pices of info away.

What pissed me off about it:

For one, there were barely any cinematics, barely, to my recolection anyways, besides the spheres.

2. There is no way you can beat the game 100% on the first 2 trys. There probably is, but ive played the game 2 times, beaten it 2 times, and im only at 91% completion.

3. They revamped Blitzball.
This pissed me off, you cant play it anymore, only observe. Like your the manager. I really liked Blitzball.

( But there are 2 secret teams, one being the besaid Aurochs, and the other the Zanarkand Abes. You cant get the Abes on the first try though. To get them you need to get 100% completion, then win an invitaion through a tourny, then beat them in an exabition.)

4. Rare use of Chocobos. There is a way to get them on the Highland yes, but nobody uses them anymore...so sad..

5. They took out a few minor places. Why i care, i dont know, but it would seem to me that they should stay there.

6. THERE IS NO F****** TIDUS IN THE WHOLE GAME!!! Yes , it leads you to believe you will see him, but you dont.
UNLESS, you get 100% cmpletion.

7. Too many little confusing annoying dungeons to complete that take at leat a few hours each because they are so annoying.

8. No swimming.
Not one foot so much as enters playable/swimmable water. every part (excluding Besid, etc.) with easily accesable water, was removed. Example, inside Mount Gagazet.

9. Tobli.
What the hell is he? it? hes a midget with a duck bill, but it doesnt say if its a mask, or why hes so small, or if he is a different race. That confused me yep yep.

10. Only 3 characters. I would have liked it more if you could have Brother or Buddy. 3 seems like the bare minimum.

And lastly, the plot was ultimatly weak, the game was good, but it wsa like a mix of a FF game,a nd Charlies Angels. Too much "girl power" stuff.

(ther is this one part that confuses me. Near the end Shinra says " My last mission witht he gullwings." when you go to the spheres etc. But where the hell does he go? It didnt tell me. Maybe i missed it.)

What made me like it:

Non linear gameplay. You can take different paths every time.

Job system

Leveling up system ( they dont use spheres in this one)

The in battle sequence thing. You can attack whenever someone else attacks, or is being attacked. 'tis awesome IMO.

Thats my long rant, i'll be sure i'll have more to add when im not tired.

What do you guys think?

[Crono]

I agree with you. And although I've had the game since christmas, I still haven't beat it.

The only thing I have to say about your comments is... I'm glad there is no Tidus in the game. He was easily the gayest lead character out of any FF game.

[BlueFire]

Wasn't Tidus in the ending ? o.O

Anyways, FFX sucked. At least I thought it did, so I didn't bother with FFX-2

Only if you get 100% of the game completed.

Ive read the script dealy on gamefaqs for what happens, and so far i've seen 2 videos for the "special" ending. One is in japanese, and isnt cinematic, and the other is cinematic, has no talking, but sint where the thing says it is.



By faaaaar teh gayest.

[Ginkasa]

Not just 100%, I think. I believe there's another ending where Tidus shows up as kind of a dream form. Like the dead people in the Farplane in FFX. I haven't seen it, though, so...

I didn't really like FFX-2 either; mostly because of the story. It just didn't seem like a natural progression from the end of FFX. I could see sphere hunters happening, and maybe Rikku become one of them. But Yuna just seems wrong.

I also dislike the whole idea of Tidus coming back. It ruins the ending of FFX. In FFX, Tidus tries his best, and succeeds, at finding a way defeat Sin without Yuna having to sacrifice himself. But then he does what he stopped Yuna from doing and gives up his life for the greater good. Deep (ish). Bringing him back just ruins it.

And don't get me started on the J-Pop. *shudders*

I think that they should have gotten rid of the whole Yuna/Tidus thing. Their story was over. They should have expanded Paine's story and made her the main character. She's where the actual story was. Yuna didn't have jack happen to her "story" until the end.

Rikku could have stayed as a character (she fit) , and someone else used to replace Yuna. Baralai and the other guy (Youth League leader) should have been included as playable.

Separate note: The Tobli model was in FFX. If you wander around Luca (near the Sphere Theater) in FFX, you'll see "Tobli." It freaked me out when I played FFX again after I beat FFX-2. I never noticed the guy in X, but now I go "Tobli!" everytime I pass him.

*thought Tidus was a nice change of pace*

*shrugs and walks away*

Well, thats good, because he doesnt come back. I think the perfect ending one is the farplane one, or a dream or something like that.



(Yes, i knew Tobli was in FFX, but wtf is he? A duck-man-boy-thing with a sort of stutter...)

EDIT: One more thing that pissed me off, i think i might have mentioned it, but its the fact you cant go inside the city of Bevelle.

That pissed me off, because they had a possibility to make a really cool high/low tech FF classic city kind of thing, and they didnt.

[zero hero]

*Reads all comments*

Heh.

Thus, why I didn't even bother even attempting to purchase FFX-2. Basically, the whole "girl power" thing was kinda in the previews.

[DarkMaster]

I liked the the game, I'm close to beating it. It's fun and light hearted, which is a nice change of pace in the serious world of RPGs.

No, the very very best ending has Tidus coming back. You have to hit "X" to whistle in the Farplane at the very end with 100%, I think.


*shrugs and walks away*


Edit:

Here it is:

Good Ending A
-------------

Fayth: Thanks.
Yuna: You're very welcome.
Fayth: You heard it, didn't you?
Fayth: You want to see him?
Yuna: Him?
Fayth: Yes. You want to walk together again?

* If you choose 1) Yes!

Fayth: I can't promise anything but we'll do what we can.

[ Fayth fades, Yuna walks into the distance ]

* After the credits you see the following scene

[ Tidus appears in fetal position and slowly looks up; he is floating in
water. Tidus is in Besaid. Tidus swims to the surface then whistles,
when there is no reply he walks to the shore as the Celcius lands and
sprays water on him. Yuna jumps out of the airship and hugs Tidus. ]

Yuna: Are you real?
Tidus: I think so.
Tidus: Do I pass?

[ Yuna nods ]

Yuna: You're back.
Tidus: I am back.

[ Yuna and Tidus hug ]

Tidus: I am home
Yuna: Welcome home.
Yuna: Yes, home.

[ Rikku and Paine laugh from the airship ]

Wakka: Hey, get a room you two!

[ Crowd gathers on the opposite shore, everyone cheers ]

Wakka: Whassup?
Tidus: Who asked you to watch, Wakka?

[ Lulu laughs while holding her baby ]

Rikku: Hiya!

[ Tidus grabs Yuna's hand and runs to the crowd ]

Tidus: You know, you've changed.
Yuna: Well, you've missed a few things.
Tidus: I wanna hear everything!
Yuna: Well..
Yuna: It all began when I saw this sphere of you.

[ Zooms past the celcius then fades out ]

Perfect Ending
--------------

* See this after the Good Ending after you see the credits

[ Tidus and Yuna are standing in the deserted Zanarkand Ruins ]

Tidus: I got a theory.
Tidus: I think the fayth gathered up my thoughts and put 'em
together to bring me back.
Tidus: Maybe. Something like that.

Tidus: Or maybe.. I'm still a dream.
Yuna: Wait! so you'll dissapear?
Tidus: Cherish me, Yuna. And I'll cherish you.
Tidus: All right? We gotta stay together. That's what we have to do.

[ Yuna runs up and holds Tidus from behind ]

Yuna: Is that what the Fayth told you?
Tidus: Nah. But I like it.

[ Yuna and Tidus laugh then Yuna pushes Tidus into the water ]

Tidus: That's not cherishing!
Yuna: You didn't disappear.

[ Yuna smiles ]

***

To get that:

D. Good Ending A
----------------

What you see: Normal ending + Good ending A (Good one)
How you get it: There are two requirements for this ending. Firstly, you
must talk with Maechen in Guadosalam in Chapter 3, and secondarily, when
Yuna falls into the Farplane/Field of flowers in Chapter 3 press X until
you hear whistling 4 times. When you press 'X' in the field of flowers
(Farplane Abyss) at the end of the game you'll be given an option by the
fayth. Select the first one ('Yes!') to get this ending.

F. Perfect Ending
-----------------

What you see: Normal ending + Good ending A + Perfect ending
How you get it: To get the perfect ending you need to first fulfill all
the requirements as outlined in ending D. After watching the good ending
portion there will be an extra clip if you attained 100% completion in
the game.


*shrugs and walks away again*

[Dylflon]

As much as I loved Final Fantasy X, I don't even want to touch this game.

[Typhoid]

Yeah, i saw both of those endings, but in Japanese, which is why it confused me, because the one at Zanarkand isnt cinematic, but the one in Besaid is.

And Dylflon, im only saying it was this bad because i had high hopes for it, while its not "the awesome" its still pretty good, and i still reccommend playing it if you already havent done so.

This thread should have a spoiler warning.
