Final Fantasy X-3

[Renmiri]

I hated FFX2 at first, but I came to like it later. An ongoing joke in this and other forums is that "You know you have been playing FFX2 for too long when... you start liking the game"

My main beefs with it now:

- It is not FFX, nor it achieves it's quality (a problem with most sequels, I guess). The disappointment made me not see the qualities of FFX2 for a long time. Same with the music

- Uneven quality: Chapters 1 and 5 were very good, chapters 2 and 4 s*cked and chapter 3 was in between. Chapter 4, if it didn't have Yuna's concert, would be a complete waste of time

- Too girly even for me, a girl. We could only control the 3 girls, the name for "dresspheres" and "Garment grids" was girly (what about "suit" and "skill grids" or something less sissy Square Enix ?). The look, music was too upbeat. Some dialogs were extremely kiddie, girly land superficial... You go in expecting FFX darkness and you get "Charlie's Angels".. WTF ?!?

- For romantic females like me, there was not enough Tidus and Yuna action. See her pinning for him the entire game was frustrating and annoying. And then you get a mere 2 minutes of OST ?!? Then you have to play an insane am mount of side quests to get THAT "perfect ending" ? I almost threw my wireless controller out of the window!

I disagree here. Making most of the game ridiculously easy and then adding one uber dungeon isn’t my idea of ‘challenging’. ..

the characters that get the most screen time during the game range from incredibly irritating .. to superfluous and rather dull..

1. The main cast is unbalanced. ..That whole ‘let’s hi-five each other when I say something cool’ caused me to cringe every time…

2. The script is filled with tremendously lame jokes. None of them are funny, at all.

3. Shuyin fails dismally as an antagonist..

4. You have to do some ridiculous crap to get 100%..

this negatives really make this game hard to take at times...

What he said..

did Square Soft really sit down and decide that the target audience for a sequel to FFX would definitely be 15 year old girls?

I think so, but they made 2 big mistakes:

- No romance b/w Tidus and Yuna. 15 year old (and older ) girls went into this game dying to see another "Sutedakine" scene and got zippo!

- Way too hard to get the "perfect ending" then it is a scene that is NOT worth it

This annoyed and iritated a lot of their target for the game. And the rest turned off the other fans...
