Should I try X-2 OR XII?

[Slothy]

Overall, I will go on record as saying that XII is the best game in the series since IX and easily in my top four or five in the series.

I would agree just as X was the best since IX and VI was the best since V and II was the best since I...

Anyway if youve played X you might as well play X2 first I would think. Plus you already own it. Theres a ton of stuff to do in it but if youre ONE OF THOOOOOSE PEOPLE that just goes straight through the story and ignores all the sidequest stuff then I would think its pretty short (though I guess most of the FF's in this case would be a lot shorter if you did this).

A wise guy huh?

Allow me to clarify by pointing out that IX is my second favourite in the series after VI and the only other game I'd even consider giving top three status to besides XII would be IV, though nostalgia aside I'd probably go with XII over it. XII is one of the best in the FF series and far and away better than entries like VII, VIII, X or the first three in my opinion.

Also, I wouldn't really recommend X-2. I did enjoy the battle system a lot, in fact I think it's one of the better battle systems in the series, but as far as story and characters go it's not just a poor excuse for a sequel to X, it's a pretty poor excuse of a game.
