But fanservice is not just about skimpiness! It's all about trying to appeal to various fetishes. It's like with the gothic lolita or maid outfit - most anime simply put them there for pure fetish fuel. And that's exactly what FFX-2 did with most dresspheres. I'm surprised there actually isn't s lolita or maid dress in the game...
Man what does a girl have to wear to not be a sex object
That's just the despicable society to live in. Women are objectified and this sells stuff. But we're getting a bit too deep into this matter. Let's just keep talking why we like this game and why that is weirdOriginally Posted by Jessweeee♪

The deal with FFX-2 was that it was absolute pants.
Hotpants.
(SPOILER)No seriously it was utter garbage

I like it, and to a degree, I even love it. Everyone hated it because it wasn't SERIOUS BUSINESS like every other FF game.
My only real complaint, frankly, is that the game's difficulty; or rather, the game's nearly complete lack of difficulty. Aside of the giant thing in the Desert and the bosses in the Via Infinito, there was virtually no challenge in the game's battles, and the final boss fights are just a joke. I had to kill myself in order to see the bad ending.
But I loved the battle system to death; it's by far my favorite in the whole series; dare I say, in any game I've ever played. I love the job system and the ability to change jobs on-the-fly. The costume designs, and the designs of the unique story bosses were also wonderful.
The soundtrack isn't my cup of tea, but I don't find it necessarily bad; it certainly fits the game and it's settings perfectly.
Honestly the game is full of great ideas, but a screwed up overall picture, and tons of wasted potential (imagine how much more awesome battles would have been if fights were challenging enough to give you time to use the wide array of abilities within the different jobs? Imagine how epic the final boss battles would have been if they lasted more than a minute due to lack of challenge? Imagine how much more fun going for 100% could have been if it didn't consist of a wild "WATCH THIS COMSPHERE NOW" goose chase?).
Incidentally, I've probably spent more time playing FFX-2 than any other one game, aside of maybe Final Fantasy VII, but I can't tell because FFVII's clock stops at 99:99:99.
I like Kung-Fu.
Haha, DMKA--if you get the Cat Nip accessory you do 9999 damage with every hit if you're in the yellow on HP. If you use a Gunner's Trigger Happy, the game is basically over.
On my first playthrough the final boss was easy. On my second playthrough Vegnagun seemed impossible to defeat. I actually found the game to be one of the more challenging ones.
Oh god the commspheres. smurf those things.
I hated calibrating smurfing towers.
Some of those dresspheres were too hard to obtain in this game too. I never got the Dark Knight, Lady Luck, and Mascot jobs
Dark Knight is really easy to get.
Kind of. It's easy to get but not easy to find by accident. If you don't know before hand that it's there, you'll probably miss it forever. Mascot is a bitch.
It's been so long (since around 2004 I believe), but I remember enjoying this game. So long as I looked past the terrible premise of the entire thing. The battle system was probably my favourite out of the entire series. Now if only they could throw that in to a... you know, better game. >_>;
Ah maybe I'm being too harsh there... Or maybe not, it's been so long! If they ever manage a HD port like they're doing with FFX then I'll definitely grab it and give it another go.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
That's one interesting clock.FFVII's clock stops at 99:99:99
