The Biggest Flaw of X-2 (SPOILERS)

[gunner_yuna]

The biggest flaw in X-2 was that it even happened. FFX was the first ever Final Fantasy game that had a sequel, as well as the first Final Fantasy game that had actual talking characters. Well, since the major milestones had been passed, what was left for FFX-2? Nothing. Don't get me wrong, it was fun to play (the first couple of times) and had a great battle system, but there was really nothing major that set it apart from FFX (except that X had a better storyline). Final Fantasy has always, for as long as I can remember, had a main character with a love interest. So that didn't really make X-2 stand out either. Yuna lost Tidus and then in the end they were reunited. Ta-da. You can tune into lifetime and see crap like that.

I know, I used to loooove and swear by X-2. But I've grown up a lot and moved on from the sappy storyline that entertained me when I was 14/15.

I lol'd.

You're absolutely right; it offers just a whole bunch of nothing worthwhile after one finishes X. X is fine as is; leave it alone, SE! Oh wait, too late. But meh, if we don't like it, we shan't play it, right?

the only reason why i bothered with x2 was for rikku in her yellow bikini.

You could've just looked up images of her online. Just saying.



On topic: Yeah, the Perfect Ending sucks. I never bothered with that Chocobo and Cacti crap. The Good Ending is so much better (love how it ties in with FFX's ending)

[ROKUSHO]

with rikku, that wasnt enough. i had to play the game

[superlusher]

it was too different from ff10, it almost didnt make sense as a sequel. About the only thing that let it be a sequel was the characters and locations. If they were changed then it could well have been a stand alone game

a poor FF game ?
shrugs.

FFX has a lot of fans.

As for X-2 it does feel like a parody especially with Leblanc and her revealing outfits.

I agree with the last poster about the battle system.It's superior to FFXII and FFXIII's systems I also wish they would use it again.

The game was ok.I don't regard it as a serious effort by Square nor do I believe it should be considered as such.

I really hope not...

People keep buying it, Square will keep on making it.

Too much "Fail" fan service.

The biggest flaw of Final Fantasy X-2 was Final Fantasy X-2

[Sheechiibii]

I enjoyed the good ending, and it doesn't take 100% to get it, all you have to do is press x a couple of times during a few scenes so it's not that taxing and is a proper CGI scene. I did like the ending because I did want Tidus to survive, I didn't like him dead at the end of X. The biggest flaw of X-2 I think was Yuna's personality change, she seriously wasn't the same person at all and it wasn't good. I prefer to imagine that X-2 happened with the same Yuna as X makes it much better imo.

The perfect ending was annoying, because you had gone to all the trouble of getting 100% and it wasn't even a proper CGI scene which was a major disappointment. They could have done so much more with the perfect ending that they didn't and it was a disappointment - not as much as Yuna's personality though.

Paine was the only character that was bearable.

[Enkidoh]

Indeed - she was basically a female Auron, and wasn't one to mince words or beat around the bush. Not to mention I loved her whole leather/punk rocker Warrior appearance. Also, I laughed when she actually told Rin the unpleasant truth - he really is a jackass.

[FF7genie]

personally i thought everything about x-2 was pretty Awesome....only thing that threw me off was the goofy techno style music.

[VXXMCMXC]

I feel like this topic is already redundant enough, but I will still add my 2cents.

FFX-2 is not one of the best FFs of all time. I am a big fan on FF, especially FFX. The storyline was complex, full of twists and turns and I feel like FFX-2 didn't compliment it at all. X-2 was more of a...girly, childish game. Only reason I say that it is childish is because of all the minigames and things to do that have nothing to do with the actual plot.

Although, I am glad I played through FFX-2. For folks who wanted answers at the end of FFX (even though there was a lot to be said about what wasn't said) this was a good game. It always kept me entertained enough. And the storyline wasn't that bad. But I am one of the people who think FFX ended beautifully, and did not need further explanation.

Anywho, the biggest flaw would have to be the extreme amount of minigames/crap that had nothing at all to do with the actual story.
