FFX

Had 4 male characters, that's 4/7 more than half.
Yuna wears not so exposing cloths.
Yuna uses summoning system.
Through-out entire game, no one changed cloths once.
Game did not have an active battle system.
Had 1 ending.
No missions.

Now, let's look at FFX-2

Has 0 male characters, that's 0/3 - 100% all female party.
Introduces new character, who is female.
Yuna uses guns.
Yuna steals Lara Crofts out-fit and puts Jechts symbol on it
Every time they enter a battle they change cloths.
Has an active battle system
Has multiple endings
Missions.
1) Tidus and Auron couldn't have been in the party for obvious reasons. Wakka's absence is also explained. Khimari I don't know about but he hardly counts as male eye-candy.

2) Yuna's clothing style is changed for A LOT of reasons. If she dressed as she did in X it would have made no sense whatsoever.

3) How in the Hell was she gonna use the summoning system again? She is half Al Bhed with limited physical strength, she would naturally use machina.

4) Clothing changes are a fairly logical step as technology advances, most people change clothes occasionally in real life. I haven't played it but it sounds like FFV did the same thing anyway.

5) I haven't got a clue how the gameplay changes are relevant.


i90east:
Is your only problem with X-2 the marketing? If so then it's a fairly bad thing to judge on. Most people who'll buy X-2 will buy it because they played X. ATTRACTive pictures simply ATTRACT attention, which is the whole point, they don't need to do much else because they couldn't fit all the new info onto a picture.


Given I left the arguement a while ago, I'll just say I agree with pretty much everything Deathjester said to jump back in.
