There are some nay sayers on this site (I've met some of them) who don't like this game. I shall stake my heart on the line and dare to utter the words: "This game is better than X"
Come and get me! Or agree with me, whichever floats ya boat.

You'd be echoing the sentiments of the majority of people on site. I like X-2 just fine, but I don't personally rate it above X.
Still leap and bounds better than the stuff that came out for X later.
Yeah, the general consensus around these parts are FFX-2 is really really really dumb, but it's a fun game to play.
Final Fantasy X-2 has it's problems, but overall it's super fun to play and I really liked the music in it too.
havent played enough to know. but i really love stories and its the biggest incentive for me so so far ff x-2 isnt great for me. battles are cool though. but ah well. even X is low for me too. dunno why. also i was dreading the 1000 words scene. hate singy songs

It's an odd game where parts of it really don't work very well (the story, in general, though it does has some good spots), coupled with probably the best iteration of the ATB system in any Final Fantasy and a very good adaptation of the job system. The only thing I'd change about the job system in this game is the balancing: a good amount of dresspheres aren't really that good, while two or three dresspheres are obviously the best.
But no, I really enjoyed it. Much less linear than FFX (despite using the same world, funnily enough) and much less grindy at the end-game sections.
I agree with this statement. Its battle system is pretty interesting and the non-linear storyline is also a nice addition.
Although FFX is way better due to its storyline, CTB system and the Sphere Grid. :P
FFX was focused mainly on Yuna's pilgrimage, so linearity was natural there.
Yuna and her companions could focus on their lives after The Calm, hence the non-linearity of FFX-2.

Awful story. Awesome everything else. And it's the everything else that really matters.

Combat in FFX is stale and underwhelming with no sense of urgency. I fell asleep in boss battles from boredom. Sphere grid is a decent progression system but I've always been a sucker for job systems, like FFX-2 had. Gameplay is less linear with multiple endings possible, making for a lot more replay value.
That said, I simply said FFX-2's "everything else" was awesome, i never compared it to FFX' everything else, because that really doesn't matter for my enjoyment of this particular game . But since you brought that up, no, I disagree.

Job systems are where it's at.
And I actually liked that the story was stupid with zero of the original's pretentiousness
While X was silly trying to act deep
But yeah, joking aside, X-2 is cool. And I'll forever remember how awkward the massage scene was when I had to do it in front of one of my mom's students as she was waiting for her to come home.
