Okie Dokie, then, how about I make a little poll?

Everyone knows that people on the internet are male.
o.O
Aaaannywho...
summary of my opinion on the story:
Fun, but not very deep.
Okay this thread may contain some spoilers for X, X-2 and VII.
X-2's storyline was just a mangled mess Square made thinking "how the hell can we calm our screaming fans and just bring freakin' Tidus back for heaven's sake?!"
And thus, X-2 was born. Although they were pretty harsh on Aeris in Advent Children, who was 10 time more mourned than Tidus simply because she was actually a REAL PERSON. She didn't even come back to life, bless her soul. But anyway.
I didn't see the point of X-2. Tidus was a dream, finished! It's even worse the way he's "brought back" at the end. So if him and Yuna break up he'll just fade again. Lovely. What's the point of even existing?
It was just to satisfy the emotions of little Jap teens who went through 10 boxes of tissues at the end of X because their blue-eyed boy was no more.
But it was alright I suppose. A valiant effort on Square's part, considering they'd never made a sequel so they probably didn't have head or tail on how to go about it. And surely we should have known by now that sequels usually suck? Especially in the movies? Lol.
Too big.
The story in itself is okay, though it is more then one very thin story supported by a crapload of side stories. Anyway, they should have just let us play with at least one boy. One single extra member and this whole game would have been much more liked.
For game and plot, I would say it would rate well as a first draft not as a finished product.
As a game, the inconsistent graphics drove me nuts. The constant cheesy music drove me nuts ( although I liked the two songs, I did not want to hear the same style of music over and over and over and over again). The dress spheres were nothing more then several male fantasies slopped together for the lonely gamer. The battle system however, was easy and engrossing. Spherebreak was awesome.
Letting the game drive the story was neat, but the story needed some more development.
Plot: It was nice to see Yuna develop out of her teenage, religious stupor and start to reflect upon her own life. They portray the mindset of someone approaching their twenties very well. Although seeing the ending gives one momentary warm fuzzies, it presents itself as a cop out. A better storyline would have Yuna find someone else or finds contentment within herself. :meditate:
The background of Paine is not fleshed out very well. Neither is the recovery of Spira. A vast political vacuum would have created more problems then what is shown in this candy-coated story.
Annoyance number two, Rikku goes from optimistic to airhead in two years...
Strengths of this game lie its snappy dialog and fun mini games.
Remixed clippits of Orchestral were the ones I liked :3Originally Posted by The_White_Wizard_of_Fynn
The only thing I really remember about this game is Brother..
Man that guy was on crack.
oh god... dont even get me started with this game.... it has to be the WORST square game this company has ever made. just to get more money off of
now dont get me wrong, i like this game, but it was just too corny and it brings the final fantasy games to a low standard, makes them look like crap, this was one of the first ive played, and after playing it i never wanted to touch another final fantasy in my life!
the story is nothing, just 3 sluts going all over spira doing stuff for people......
Well, no. Not really. This game is a collection of side quests set against the background of three leaders of religious factions chasing after a quasi-villain while he tries to steal a weakass piece of machina. I enjoyed the game, but I was disappointed in a few ways. I wanted a story. I wanted Nobuo Uematsu's music (Though Yuna's Theme, the opening song, and 1000 Words were good pieces of music). I wanted a challenge. I guess I'm done getting challenges presented to me in Final Fantasy games.
And most importantly, I wanted to keep the Awesome Sphere.
Feeling put off it yet?once youve played any other final fantasy you will see that X-2s story was
If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?
Think Charlie's Angels, but longer and more unnecessary.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
If you would like to hear Yuna moan suggestivly every 5 minutes, then I have the game for you.
