Game Pros and Cons

[Pumpkin]

For both games, or one or the other, what would you say are the pros and cons of these games? Subjectively, I mean. What are things you liked about them and/or didn't like.

X:

Pros:
-A good number of playable characters
-Despite being so linear, it managed to not feel linear at all
-Interesting areas
-Good music
-Each character had an assigned role in battle, something I'm a huge fan of
-Some excellent, involving, touching moments
-Weapon customization
-Interesting races. Loved the Hypello
-Interesting fiends
-Al Bhed. Great having a second language to learn
-The overdrive system. Being able to choose how their gauge builds, and also being able to save it for a boss fight
-The Auron/Braska/Jecht side story
-Switching out characters in battle
-Keeping your aeons in battle, having their own HP and overdrive bar, etc

Cons:
-Seymour. And all 20 of the fights against him
-The main couple wasn't great for each other, imo
-Tidus
-Blitzball. I mean, I like the concept but being forced to play it is one of the moments I dread the most in game
-Takes a while to get all of the summons
-The Cloister of Trials. Good idea in theory, some of them were just a pain
-The Sphere Grid. Definitely not one of the series better ability systems
-The battle system. I miss the ATB

X-2:

Pros:
-The battle system. This is the one I like the most
-The mission system
-Alternate paths and decisions
-The classic job system, which I absolutely love
-the fun, lighthearted nature of the game
-Seeing how Yuna has developed and grown
-The subject of the two political systems, both with their faults
-Gippal
-Fun mini-games and sidequests
-Access to the airship right off the bat
-Seeing the world developed and changed over 2 years

Cons:
-Not many playable characters
-The pacing of the chapters. Chapter 4 didn't have enough and Chapters 3 and 5 were jam packed by compairison
-Calibrating those Lightning Rod Towers. Huge pain
-Some of the outfits bug me
-I like the lighthearted nature of the game for a sequel, but would have wanted it more serious if it were a main series game
-Bevelle Underground. This game is so easy until you do this part and its just ARGHGASDHAGDAKLFF
-Having to wait until New Game Plus for Mascot Dressphere
-The amount of AP needed to master the Alchemist Dressphere
