    Well, it's up to you. If you play FFX-2 before you play FFX, you won't understand quite a bit of the story and should you go back and play FFX the ending will be spoiled for you. It is fun though. FFX is a good good but it is very serious and somber. They are two totally different games, but I would suggest playing FFX first so that you can see Yuna's character advance through the whole saga and not just the second game.

    Yes, DEFINITLEY buy FFX. It's a much different game...but very good.

    You will know the world better, Yuna's words will mean more to you at certain spots, you'll know what you're doing. I think it's completely necessary, but that's my opinion.

    I think that for X-2 to be a better game for you, you should experience X first.

    Have fun, in whatever you choose!

    Yeah get FFX first. Its a greatest hit now. And FFX-2 is $40 so you can get both for $60 or less.

    Yeah, if you play X-2 first you're jsut gonna be lost. Horribly, terribly lost, throughout a GOOD chunks of the game. And it depends on your skill level, and how much you delve into the game (FFX)
    You can get TO the final dungeon in thirty hours or so, if your fairly skiled, but to do all the sidequests and truely enjoy the game, set aside 80 or so hours, maybe as much as 100. all in all, you get a $20 that goes for 100 hours. Thats like 20cents an hour. try to find that kinda bang for your buck elsewhere.

    there's always a lot more to do in the international version. more quests, things like that. someone else could explain it better, since i don't have it. I don't understand why they can't just do this the first time around.... :rolleyes2

    I think they mean they mean Penence, the toughest boss, and the dark aeons. Its only in the International. But they are optional. Also seeing that you live in Canada you don't have to worry about International. So about 80-100 hours. Think you should wait till you finish X to buy X-2. Who knows? X-2 might become a greatest hit also.

    It will become a greatest hit, it's already past that sales point. But I think it has to be out for a certain time before it can become a greatest hit though.

    Yes get FFX first. So FFX-2's story makes much more sense.

    yes, ffX first. though international is much better, cause u get 2 battle the Dark Aeons, oh, and the guy below

    in my opinion ffX-2 is crap anyway. ffX and FFx-2 are so different its not funny...

    Yeah they're completely different, and I do think FFX is more captivating. But both X and X-2 are EXCELLENT games in my humble opinion.

    Yes, get FFX first, because X-2 is more like a direct extension of X so it makes no sense without having played X prior.
    I like Kung-Fu.
