there really is know way 2 know if you will like it until u get it. it is a BAD ff game, but its also very fun.

What, pray tell, makes an FF a bad one?

[aeris2001x2]

just that the music, story and atmosphere are not up 2 ff standard in my opinion. no other reason. of course its still a EXCELLENT game, just a bad ff. for a bad ff that sucks outright despite having the above three in bucket loads check out...yes i,m talking about ffII again.

[Sora is so awesome]

Yeah, it really isn't all that much like an FF. It's too happy to be one.

If you do rent it, play through it awhile, say to the middle or end of chapter 2.

I loved X. I played through X-2 b/c I payed $50 for it. Worst. Buy. Ever. Charlie's Angels mixed with crack. Poor character development, short chapters, incest, and Rikku all make this a crappy game.

If you like games and RPGs and Final Fantasy then get it. If you like the characters from X then get it. It wasn't one of the best games ever, but it was worth my 50 bucks. If you have the money then go for it.

Might I remind you all of the reason this game exists in the first place; if Square hadn't came up with their first Final Fantasy game, they would probably have never really been known in America. We wouldn't have all these wonderful games from them.

My suggestion, like many others here, is to play FFX first, all the way through, then start on FFX2. One of my friends bought FFX2 for me before I had FFX, and I couldn't keep away from it for long. I had to see what it was like. It didn't ruin everything, actually just made me want to play FFX more to see exactly what happened. I didn't get far in 2, because I wanted to wait to play FFX first.

Mindless ranting that no one cares about is over now. You're obviously thinking about it, so play FFX first, then rent FFX2 if you dont want to spend a lot of money just to see if you like it, or buy it or do whatever you want. Does it really affect your opinion of the game by what other people say when you haven't even tried it for yourself? Does everyone's else opinion automatically make it fact whether this game will suck or not to you? I like to give things a chance, and then judge them on what I've actually see of them. Not by what everyone else says about them.

Maybe Square feels like they need change, everyone needs change at one point. Maybe they're tired of doing the same thing over and over and over again in all these games. Only they know. We are here to speculate.

No offence intended to anyone. My point is, do what you want to do. Only you can say if you like anything game or not.

My long post is over with now.

ya just a question if i have ffX should i get ffX-II?

and wat is the signifigance of the mars crest and the withered boquet?

I used to hate that game, but after replaying, I found out it is alright. It matters on different people's tastes. If you liked FFX's ending the way it was, then FFX-2 might not be a good choice.

BUt probably, you will be pleased by the game.
