    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.
    I didn't say it was COMPLETELY the same. The biggest comparison I draw from FFVII and FFVIII is three characters, and the insane amount of customization. It may be faster, but, once you get Alchemist... gg kthxbai ot teh Vegangun. For that matter, most of the monsters in Via Infinito except for the bosses, too.

    But FFX-2 will definitely alienate you, especially if you play the old school games. If you are a PSX generationer, then it might not.

    I my friend would like to introduce you...
    to Tetris. Many similarities to FFX-2; no plot, no character development, cheesy in every way, easy beyond words, no symbolism; BUT it's not a waste of time. Everyone loves being a responsible Trigonometry student by playing on your graphing calculators in class...

    To be fair, guys, compare the time they spent making FFX to the time spent on FFX2, and that might explain the difference in quality...

    Hopefully that means FFXII will be UBER

    Why does everyone seem to h8 FF8? The only downfall was its battle system! The storyline was great, and I personally think the musical score was one of the best.

    That's kind of weird, since FFX-2 is far closer in nature to the original series than anything in the 32 or even 16 bit generation (with the possible exception of FFV).

    Depends on your preference in gaming.

    But I would suggest you buy X before X-2 so you have an idea of whats going on.

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.
    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...
    Couldn't have put it beter myslef, btw Feel Good Inc Rocks hard.
