was X-2 a dissapointment?
Think back to when X-2 was announced i was incredibly excited and thought that it would out-play X but when i got the game i was strangely dissapointed as was like a game based at 8 year olds.
Topic: Before X-2 came out were you expecting it to be better than it is?
I didn't think it would be like it is when they first announced it...but I'm fairly open to anything tossed at me, so I don't mind it. I also bought it long after it came out so I wasn't shocked or anything. I wish it wasn't quite the polar opposite of X...I guess in certain respects I'm disappointed. But I'm not horrified by it like many. It's more like an expansion pack, but I only paid 20 bucks for it so meh.
It was a big disappointment. It had some good things in it (specifically the job/ability/battle systems) but for the most part it wasn't that good. I was quite disappointed.
One of the most entertaining games in the series. I'm actually quite glad they didn't attempt to rehash FFX's plot and demeanor and instead went with something more up beat. Apart from being slightly too easy and being forced to play a few less-than-cool minigames, I can't think of a single aspect of FFX-2 that I didn't like.
I think FFX-2 was better than what I had expected. I didn't like FFX and I thought FFX-2 would be an even worse cashing sequel, but I decided to give it a try anyway, and I ended up liking it more than FFX. The main story isn't too developed, but there's plenty of good substories, I liked about all of the characters, the game is fun to play, Spira is a nice world to explore and the battle system with fast-paced ATB battles and the job/ability system was enjoyable to me.

I love playing it. Oh I enjoyed it, but was disappointed at only using 3 main playable characters. Dressphere system was superb, I loved the battle system a 100 times more then X's. It was not a disappointment - it's in my top 5 list!

She loves it more then X!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.
I really enjoy play final fantasy x-2 more than final fantasy x it was too hard and tidus boarded me :rolleyes2
they should at lest let the girls have fun and make one final fantasy as girls as the main characters.
Thank you so much Marluxiaswife Kairi girl!
Immensely disappointing. Way too many problems with it, and it destroys any impact that FFX might have had.
Tavrobel knows the score x100.

A NEVER LIKE BEFORE GAME THAT SHAKE THE WHOLE FF SERIES.
THE GAME IS FABULOUS.
Cheers! to all Final Fantasy X / Final Fantasy X-2 fans, you all make the world a better place.
There are WAY TOO MANY people who don't understand that FFX-2 doesn't stand alone, FFX/FFX-2 go TOGETHER, this was a not a FF SEPERATED from the series, it's a CONTINUATION of X. If you can't understand that then I don't know what to tell you.
I embraced FFX-2 and in NO WAY was I dissapointed. It had more dialogue, it felt more upbeat which made you feel that everything the party did in X was worth it (bringing the calm to Spira).
And it was good to see that Yuna changed 'cause that's what Tidus wanted. He wanted her to smile more and enjoy her days, and to break free from the Yevon traditions (remember?).
And I like the fact the Rikku was all over your face in X-2 'cause in X she came in a little late in the game......so we really didn't get much of her.
And last but not least, it showed how much Yuna would do to see Tidus again...just to see him again, it was her journey and she accomplished what she wanted.

X-2 was kinda a let down to me, but since it used a different method of gameplay I guess I cant complain.

IGN's Review:
Description
out of 10 click here for ratings guide
9.0 Presentation
The Charlie Angels-inspired motif and sphere hunter story may not be as epic as its predecessor, but it still has the top-notch production value that Square Enix is famous for.
9.6 Graphics
Hindered by just a smidgen of slowdown, FFX-2 is one of the best-looking games on any console. Facial animations have improved and the level of detail is amazing. The standard for all future RPGs.
8.6 Sound
The clarity of the music and sound effects are unrivaled among PS2 RPGs with returning voice actors better than they were the first time. The soundtrack isn't anywhere near as strong as X, though.
9.7 Gameplay
Even though the challenge level never exceeds that of an intermediate player, the job-switching system and absolute wealth of mini-games makes FFX-2 one of the most playable RPGs around.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
Five different endings, multiple story branches, an open-ended mission structure, 60-80 hours worth of gameplay, and the chance to go back and experience it again with New Game Plus makes it awesome.
9.5
Incredible OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

I wasnt expecting it to be too great as there werent a whole new cast of characters and a new world. It was basically FFX with a few little tweaks, so I wasnt expecting it to be amazing, but I prefer it to FFX.
Reviews aren't fact - maybe I should consider this when it comes to DoC *thinks* nah xDOriginally Posted by DeathKnight
