Is this better than Final Fantasy X?

[Soul of Tarsis]

superficial.... youre just as bad as the other haters....

how is it superficial?

and well... how the smurf was it to girly?


just cause it didnt have some guy as the hero.... you all make me sick!

Jesus Christ, that was a little much.

As unimportant as it is, FFX-2 IS very, very girly. There is no denying that, I'm surprised that you would even try. I agree that superficial wasn't the right word to use though. The game has depth, it just doesn't come across that way because of the game’s true failing: It can be rather childish. At some points, the game is very emotionally gripping, yet at times it plays out like a Saturday morning cartoon; usually at a very inappropriate moment (eg LeBlanc, right before you fight Vegnagun). It takes effort to take the game seriously after all of the INCREDIBLY lame Gullwing jokes that it throws at you every so often.

Don't hate, love... me specifically

whats good in ffX is the characters and storyline..
i dnt like the battle system.. blitzball!! theres no thrill.. waiting for ur enemy to attack or waiting for u to attack?? wth?

in ffx2 i like tha battle system.. fast-paced and more exciting.. [for me] some..dresspheres kinda make it corny.. but it depends if u like seeing them in different attires.. what sucks in ffx2 is you HAVE to visit EVERY town in every chapter to complete the game.. it makes it kinda long and harder.. but its all good!! blitzball kinda sucks you cnt do strategy at all, but i like it better coz its much faster to end.. lol..

but the most awesome part of ffx2 w/c all FF hasnt is the New Game Plus mode.. yay! Finally, u can continue ur game with all ur items, accessories and DSP.. shweet! more gameplay and time to explore! get that 100% Complete! [now theres another goal besides beating the game]

I am sorry that this may be a bit off-topic, but I need to clarify some things regarding the quoted post.

As I said in the post Tsukasa is referring to, I think X-2 is fun. I did not say that I hate it.

To answer your question, I find it superficial and girly because of the way the persons was portrayed, and the way they acted. The coolness factor overshadows the story, in my opinion. Especially Rikku, I found shallow in both games. And when Yuna lost the religious devotion, they played on her shallow and "fun" sides a bit too much. But that is just my opinion (as this thread asks for peoples opinions, that's what I wrote). You are of course intitled to disagree.

And when it comes to male heroes, that has nothing to do with my opinion. In X, I preferred both Yuna and Lulu before any of the male characters.

If people that disagrees with you makes you sick, maybe it would be better for your health to stay away from threads that can contain opinions that differs from yours.

I think It is a empty game... There aren't Aeons, weapons.. and there are only 3 characters. So, FFX-2 is the funnest. I hate the perfect final... It's... too lovely. Despite all, I like it.

[~SapphireStar~]

I prefered X2 because it applied to a female fan RPG audience and it was fun Annoying at times yes, but the OST, dresspheres made up for it!

theres no thrill.. waiting for ur enemy to attack or waiting for u to attack?? wth?

You have just complained about the entire FF series's battle system (minus CC and 11).

I think....maybe he was talking about the slower battle system of FFX compared to FFX-2, but i might be wrong. Alternatively, he might have the battle system set up to where the battle "freezes" every time its someone's turn, you can easily change that in the options mode.


Which i would agree on the battle system also btw, X's seems a lot slower. But i still can't decide, i like them both, and since now I have them both on my computer, i just strung them together as one game.

Hands down final fantasy x-2 is way better. I mean you can chose a different story every time you play.

[Setzer Gabianni]

Um...no you can't =/ They all basically follow the same route, there are just little changes.

Yes, but you can change some of the scenes... lol. I mean, instead of seeing the same scene everytime you play, you can like, not. LOL. And there are what 4 or 5 different endings?

[Setzer Gabianni]

Yes, but you can change some of the scenes... I cried aloud with mirth and merriment. I mean, instead of seeing the same scene everytime you play, you can like, not. I cried aloud with mirth and merriment. And there are what 4 or 5 different endings?

XD Why do you keep repeating that sentence? >.o

Thing is..with the endings...they're really shoddy, and the Perfect Ending is certainly not worth playing for.

Jumping around from quest to quest without some sort of linear progression isn't a storyline.

[Tanith]

Well, I've only played X-2 so far and haven't reached the end yet...but I can see why some would accuse it of being a little too 'prettied up' with costumes, girly behaviour, sing-songy etc. which I suppose detracts from the seriousness of the game and any sort of character development. But I have to give them credit for the aesthetics all the same. Stunning images, fantastic scenery, awesome dressphere changes etc.

But seeing as so many of you preferred X, I now cant wait to buy it! Is the gameplay similar?

[DeathKnight]

this is a CARELESSLY constructed thread

-First of all, X and X-2 go together storywise. So if you wanna compare games, you should ALWAYS have the FFX series together.

-Second of all, it is POINTLESS to compare these two games since they're connected.

-Thirdly of all, if you want to compare them, you can.........but it isn't justifiable since one is a fresh game and the other one is a follow-up, I just don't see how could compare them

RPGS are NOT about the fighting sytem though FFX's was better, but clearly FFX-2 was based on the story.

PS: I do like your opening statement though (to thread starter)
