I don't see how FFX-2 could be hated. It was, after all, a sequel. What was everyone expecting? This was for people who wanted to know what happened after FFX - if you didn't care then fair enough but don't complain.

We all have our favorites and FFX-2 is not my ultimate favourite (seeing since you asked it's FFX) but it wasn't as bad as people are making out. This was a gamer where you got to decide what you did, how you did it and ultimately this chose the ending. When you think about it, it's what most wanted from Square-Enix and they got it. So what's the problem?

See I personally think FVIII sucked so much that I remember on countless times throwing my control pad across the room. What about everyone else?
