    Default Battle system

    Who thinks that the battle system is so much better in FFX than in FFX-2?

    The battle system in FFX-2 is infinitely better than the one in FFX.

    Considering how unchallenging every battle was in X-2 I'd have to disagree. You could hold down the x button and win most fights. At least in X tactics were a large part of the battle system and that made it much more entertaining.

    The thing I liked about ffx is that you could switch it to 'wait' mode.

    FFX was permanently set to wait mode. There was no other option. That's why I hated it. You had all the time in the world to make a decision, therefore making victory a sure thing. It's practically impossible to get KOed in FFX because you have a huge wealth of characters to switch in and out. It's stupidly easy.

    FFX-2, on the other hand, forces you to rush. Whoever said battles in FFX-2 are easy compared to those of FFX are mistaken. There are a variety of factors to take into account. How far your character is from the opponent changes from battle to battle, so a Warrior or Samurai would have more running time and less attacking speed compared to a Gunner or Alchemist. Different dresspheres for different characters make a huge difference in how the game is played. Yuna makes a pretty lousy Lady Luck because her attack motion is slower, Paine however, attacks almost instatanously and it's this that can make the difference between life and death. Don't get me started on how slow Yuna's DK is. The fact that your ATB gauge now varies depending on the recovery of your previous attack makes for a strategic fight because now you have to be able to estimate whether the enemy will attack you between your last Trigger Happy and your next attack, unlike in FFX, where you know exactly when the enemy will attack, making for a boring battle.

    Battles in FFX-2 are worse than the game. It's so bad that the game goes negative and collapses and creates a black hole.

    What are you talking about? For every battle all I did was hold down the x button in X-2 and I won. Well just about every battle. (On the odd occasion I had to go to the bother of healing) Try that same stratedgey in X and you wont last long. Knowing when the emeny attacks doesnt make it more boring in the slightest because (wait, Wtf? You find it entertaining when the enemy attacks ) any decent player is able to plan ahead and work out the best stratdgey for defeating the monster. You need to use different party memebers to defeat certain monsters and theres plenty of other details to take into consideration so you dont end up holding down X and wating for the battle to end.
