    Meh. Its fine to have a female cast as long as they aren't so darn DITZY. The game is alright if you mute the sound so you don't have to listen to their shrill voices and the hideous dialouge.

    I'd rather have an all girl cast than an all boy cast.

    It was ABOUT TIME the girls were the ones doing the saving for once! I hated how Yuna was portrayed in the first game. She's my favorite in these two games.

    I wasnt focused on the cast. I just said, "OOH, A SEQUEL TO FFX!!!!" and played it with the intention of beating it and figuring out the crazy-ass story.
    My aunt bought me three games that I already had for my birthday. One of them was FFX. Now I dont know which disc to play on!

    Yeah, I'm usualy all about girl power and all that but I found the characters of X-2 to be a little insulting. Squeeky, ditzy, slutty insanity . . . I really don't mind playing as a guy in games, and I would like to see stronger female roles in FF but I don't think that X-2 is a very good example. The whole game was just kinda' silly to me. But when you turn the volume down and put the girs in more modest dress spheres it's not so bad . . . And Brother was just awful :rolleyes2

    go play FFV for girl power. I think having powerful female heroines who don't rely on some strong male character to save them is good.

    Girl Power? Are you serious? LOL Girl Power should be confined to the minds of the Spice Girl & their 14 year old fans, how Cheesy are those words anyway?
    If you think Female Characters in FF have been solely limited to Mages & Summoners then FFX was your FIRST FF. I suggest playing the others & then commenting. The whole initial theme of X2 made me cringe & so it should any rightminded female, if that motivated you as a female in any way I'd put youy controller down & go get Sporty Spice to sign your Power Pumps.
    It was good that they had a lead female role & I support that 100%, the way they did it & the cheesy moments surrounding it made sure there won't be a leading female role in FF for a long time again. It set back progress in that department, not forwarded it.
    And the music, with the exception of the Title Score, which was absolutely increadable, it was on some Pam Greer Blacksploitation type 70s Charlies Angels Vibe that was cringeladen & pathetic.

    For your information, FFIV was my first FF back when it was only for the SNES. I didn't even like FFX very much. I've played FFIV, FFVI, FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, and FFX-2. I don't feel like repeating myself though. And why is it that when girls are strong it's called "girl power", but when guys are strong it's just normal? Never mind, don't answer that. And I didn't mean the way that they did it, I meant the idea of having the first all female cast in an FF. Not the fact that they were dressed like sluts and acted ditsy, but the idea behind it was nice. After seeing characters like Rinoa who were entirely helpless, it was just nice to see girls who could take care of themselves.

    Ditto! Although when I actually started playing it, I liked the change from "brooding" male characters to strong female leads. You just don't see it often anymore...
    The itching sensation is a good thing.

    Wink Good!

    I think it is about time! It shows how girls are tough and somewhat good as boys! Not like Yuna and LuLu in FF X there attacks were weak! In FF X-2 The girls rock!
