I'm trying hard to like X-2 :(

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Somtimes when fran is on the screen i am just staring at it lol

That's sick.

Mm'k, so X-2 I really loved, and my favorite part of it is the class system. This helps add a nice degree of difficulty to the game, since you will have to devise a strategy for every fight and equip classes effectively, untill you get the Trainer DS, but by that time you've done enough planning you deserve a break. Some other things I liked about X-2 was the battle system, which being a very experienced RPGer, I like because it wasn't boring and you couldn't guess what was going to happen next, and again it adds difficulty timing attacks right for huge chains. I also like the AI, because it's not just stupid monsters using stone gaze on someone with Stoneproof, it's monsters that know what you have equipped and they change thier strategy accordingly.

2 things I didn't like though. As a huge fan of FFX's Blitzball, the new Blitzball "Overseers only" sucks. You're not playing, you're in the stands cheering your team on. The other thing I didn't like was the missing background on many characters. I've played through the game many times, gotten 100% a few times, and I still don't know about a few characters. They should have explained this more, or only stuck to FFX characters, instead of showing us more people they would just leave in the dark.

Over, I give the game a great big thumbs up though.

I think this would be a cooler game without Nooj. I...I can't say anything nice about Nooj, no matter how much I like this game.

And the voice acting has only gotten better

I would agree for the most part, but I think Hedy Burress gave a less convincing performance as Yuna this time around (although that could be because of the mediocre script).

i actualy thaught Hedy did a much better job the 2nd time around, as did Tara to some extent... i know Yuna was supposed to be reserved and hesitent in X but i thaught she took it a little too far in that direction her first time around, sounding cold & detached, the acting on X-2 was much better than X... though that does not diminish my view on X in any way, i still love both games...

I can't say I really enjoyed X-2 either, to be honest. I liked FFX well enough, and thought X-2 would be just as good, but it just didn't have the sort of charm that I so enjoy with FF RPG's. It was fun and different for a change, but all in all, just not my sort of thing. Completed the whole game with 100% however, and got all the dress spheres.

Well, her role has changed considerably! Yuna's gone from quiet and reserved summoner to outgoing singing and dancing treasure hunter!
