Played 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10-2 and Chrono Trigger. Final Fantasy X-2 is pretty good IMHO. I like it better than any of the SNES Final Fantasies anyway. Not that those are bad, X-2 is just better. But I can understand why lots of people don't like FF X-2. The mood is different than lots of other Final Fantasies. The angst is more hidden behind a cheerful exterior. The game doesn't follow the standard linear pattern. (There IS a linear plot, but it's short. Lots of attention to side-stuff)

I always say the same. Final Fantasy has existed so long because Square has the guts to do something different every game. BECAUSE of that, just about NOBODY will like ALL Final Fantasies. You can't please all the people all the time. But some people, I feel, never gave X-2 a chance to be X-2, and to enterain them as X-2 does. They played it expecting VII or VI or whatever. It's not... It has its own charms. (and no... I'm not talking about SCANDALOUS CLOTHING ZOMG)
