    Dont listen to anyone saying that FFX-2 is bad, its not. Dont expect to go through another FFX, but FFX-2 is enjoyable. Get it.

    if you have other things you would like to buy i would put this at the bottom of your list. its enjoyable but doesnt nearly match up to the other FFs. if you are a mad FF fan and like me you feel you need every single FF ever i would buy it but if your not dont bother until you dont have much else to buy.and also i dont think that FFX-2 should cost you £30 because i got it nearly a year ago for only £20 so its probly even lower than that.

    Can you stop with the FFVII fanboy bitching? You just can't stop it can you?

    Just rent the game if you're worried about spending money on it.

    FFX is platinum now, so it's not expensive as it should be.

    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.

    If you have nothing to contribute to this topic, then you can stop bashing FFVII fanboys because you're just not being fair =)

    True you didnt call me one, I was just sticking up for the FFVII fans in general.

    Oh, to the topic starter - make sure you get the Dark Knight dressphere when you play the game.

    i can understand why they got 9.5s and on the cover of my disk case it says 9/10 but enjoyable as it may be compared to other FFs the storyline and overall how interesting it is, is dreadful.

    DO NOT FOR ANY REASON PURCHASE, RENT, OR PLAY FINAL FANTASY X-2! IT IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!
    FFX, however, is definitely a good buy.

    Yes. You need to have played FFX to understand the storyline and characters somewhat. But for the most part they pretty much re-cap things in the beginning. No. I do not recommend that you purchase this game, because it is crap. But seeing as how you liked 9 you'll probably like this. It is funny. Also, the battle system was unique and challenging. However, (at most times...like that weird hot spring scene) it lacked any sense or point what so ever, and a total waste of my time and money.

    Buy FFX before playing FFX-2. But either way, you will be severly disappointed by FFX-2, whether you expect to play through another FFX, or whether you play it alone. It rates fine if you compared it every other game made in history. But for a FF, it lacks, plotwise and symbolicly. Horribly.

    Challenging? FFX-2? Did you seriously use that word? If you liked IX, and not VIII, then you will probably not like this either. FFX-2 follows the systems in FFVII and VIII with a three man party, and is faster, but not at all challenging. I got to level 60 without trying, all I did was press X. FFX-2 tries to pull a Family Guy by having long discourses about nothing to do with the plot in an attempt to make humor. Too bad it doesn't work.
    If you like good music, then listen to what you have on IPod or computer. (Feel Good Inc., my friend). The only songs worth hearing are the beginning opening song (Eternal Waves, or something like that), 1000 Words, because it is necessary for the plot, and real Emotion, because it symbolizes what a huge disappointment FFX-2 is. Everything starts all nice and cool and beatdown. Then you start playing it...

    Play X first. And don't buy X-2, it's not worth buying, rent it. In my opinion it's a fun game to play but you'll find its much different than other final fantasy games and probably the worst...

    This is the truth.

    Challenging? FFX-2? Did you seriously use that word?
    Yes, I did.
    FFX-2 follows the systems in FFVII and VIII with a three man party, and is faster, but not at all challenging.
    It's not the same battle system. Did Yuna use materia? No. Not the same.
    It is faster and different from what has been seen in previous games. Which can be challenging for someone who is used to playing by the old battle systems. Once you get used to it it's alright.
