I really enjoyed FFX-2, and I thought it was better than FFX. So in response to the question of "is this game good", the answer is a resounding yes.

Its strengths are a great battle system with a nice implementation of a job system, non-linearity, and side quests.

Its weaknesses are a poor story, sub-par music, and some silly dialogue.
This is a really good post which sums it up perfectly. And this thread has been surprisingly positive so far - it's a welcome surprise, too. I guess there's only so many times you can mindlessly post "IT SUCKS!" before it gets boring.
