FFx-2 rushed?

[rubah]

Getting 100% should be a pride and joy of itself:P

Of course I thought the perfect ending was worth seeing.

I can add my half a brain cell to this. =P It was rushed, alot but the whole problem, I think, was that they were too busy trying to make it a different game, than making the story. If you ask me they should have packaged FFX and X-2 into one game with a different title like i.e. "Final Fantasy:Love Throughout Time" or maybe even "Final Fantasy:Awakened and Dreaming". If they would have been making the story for X-2 as they produced X it would have been alot better, and quite honestly I didnt like the job changing system. It was alright, I mean I like being able to change jobs but... in the middle of battle it's a pain in the ass (of course thats their goal) but if they wanted to make it hard you would have to change outside of battle, being in the wrong job, can get you a KO quickly (unless you have like "Catnip" or "Iron Duke" on ya). So to my conclusion, overall I think X-2 was a great game none the less, it lives up to its expectations for a follow-up game. Usually all follow-ups suck, even if they did start decent.

"most of 'sephiroth1999AD's points are very enlightening and well thought view, I do suppose that the graphics and audio are up to the standard of 10, however I think that the sudden introduction of Mission based gameplay was a shock to my love of linear and well developed storylines which flow seamlessly to end with (usually) an almighty struggle to save the world/universe.
I also disliked the fact that whilst playing through the ffx-2 storyline - upon defeating certain bosses, I would be faced with a chapter completion screen which simply rubbed the fact that I had missed certain important items and enemy encounters (which couldn't be returned to in the same game) in my face.
The 100% completion ending was also a huge dissapointment for doing so much work!"

Yes I agree, However, the standards of how the gameplay is mapped out wasnt the problem. Take a closer look. If you really wanted to walk to all the missions, you do know you can walk from place to place to place and encounter events liek you did in X before th airship correct? The AIRSHIP is a means of faster game time, while people who want the longigatedendless battling brawls can walk and use the airship as an accessory rather than the complete meat of the deal. See what Im saying? It all comes back to the storyline. It crushed and crumbled in X-2. It would have been better to make X and X-2 into a two part scenario game. (Meaning Tidus's Story, Then Yuna's) If they did that, they could of layed the story out so much deeper. And to tell you the truth I loved X so much it touched me, a guy, deep enough to make me cry at the end. Im a pussy for deep love stories I admit, but when you go and give me X-2 where it's just Blah on the storyline with everything else great, its like.."Looks like a long mini-game with no point"

Adieu! See you later Space Cowpolks! -Hooked on no sleep and CBBP(cowboy Bebop)-

I was very dissapointed by this game. It was obvious they rushed it to make a few fast bucks.

I rushed to the store to buy it, if that counts.

I’m glad to say the X series has been put to rest, very rushed, its hardly a secret X-2 was a tad unliked by many fans, both X and X-2 have been controversial, but a large reason they did FF10-2 was because of the 11 project and at the time they did not have so many projects going on, a "fill the time" project. I feel a bit cheated as its aimed at a different audience and the fact they tried to make it TO original kicking tradition in the balls, its all well and nice to have new things but you cant ditch the things that made the series and chuck them away.
