To put it simply, the game is lacking in maturity. It’s not the entire game, but enough of it to make it intolerable to play. I mean really, there are games aimed at young children that aren’t as childish as this! They made Brother a main character, despite the fact that he is very possibly ‘the’ most annoying character to ever grace a FF game. They tried to make Paine badass (aka Auron with breasts), but failed dismally.

And really, games/shows featuring an all-female cast do not have to be like this! Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 not only has 3 women in the lead roles, but also includes another of those ‘childish’ stereotypical women. Yet the reason BGC works and FFX-2 doesn’t, is because while there is one character that acts like a 5 year old, the others are sensible, mature human beings. Ironically, the only one of the main cast that doesn’t act like a child is Shinra.

Strange, apart from this I don’t have much of a problem with X-2 (apart from the fact that FFX never needed a sequel, thus it should never have been made). However, this is HUGE flaw in the game, which unfortunately makes it one of the worst FFs, thus deserving of my spite.

Also, its fans are almost all idiots that can’t put a sentence together.

For me the most fundamental failure is of tone. It feels less like a sequel and more like a time warp where some familiar characters are placed in a new world. I mean the physical elements of FFX are there, but the feel is completely different.

Which brings me to Yuna. She seems like a completely different person than the shy demure but strong willed Summoner from FFX. At least Rikku was always bouncy and perky. And Paine brings a nice counterbalance to the overly cheerful characters. She reminds me of the role Auron played in FFX.

The dresspheres are a nice touch though, although the costumes are mostly not to my taste. I liked the idea of characters changing jobs and appearance like in FFV and FF Tactics.

I guess that it was a sequel worked more against than for it. I would have liked it more with completely original characters.

It's a nice game, but comparing to all others ffs, X-2 sucks in absolutely everything. For me it's the worst ff.
