FF X-2 is not as bad as some people make it out to be
I purchased FF X-2 a week ago. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be. I'm enjoying it so far. The only thing I found that was annoying was the beginning when they introduce the characters Charlie's Angels style. But so far I'm liking this game
Vaan - "Hey, you!"
Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

Well, yeah. It's still a very fun game. It takes like, three years for the story to kick into gear though. And the whole 'atmosphere'...ick.
Still, Job systems ftw.
I don't really see the problem with this game apart from lack of characters but they make up for that with the DS system.
No crappy storyline can get in the way of me enjoying the job system.
The game's style is wrong for a sequel of FFX, but I still found a lot to like about it. Flexible jobs systems are always welcome and I liked a lot of the new characters.
Pretty sure there is a thread like this already...
I loved it the day I got it (release day) and I still love it now.
I agree that this game is criticised extremely harshly, usually by those who could not be bothered to look beyond "Oh it's girls in skimpy outfits preaching Girl Power!". That's not to say everyone who doesn't like it is like that, but generally speaking, it's often the case.
The only real bad things were some of the interactions between the characters, particularly the trio, as some of those were really cringeworthy, and a lot of the music wasn't up to the usual FF standard (although that's not to say there weren't some tracks I enjoyed), but other than that it was great.
The graphics? Lovely. A plethora of mini-games? Great. The battle system? Fast and easy to use. The job system? Fantastic. The story? Good. Yes, you heard, good. I can't see why a story of someone searching for a lost love is so unbearably terrible, and the sub-plots like Shuyin-Lenne and the Crimson Squad were also interesting to watch unfold.
I'd take it over FFX anyday.
from the moment i heard about this game, i thought it looked promising.
I now Own it, and have for almost a year.
I have nothing bad to say at all really. Even the really really corny scenes have made me laugh, which makes up for the drawbacks of those scenes.
Personally, I like the battle and job system but the storyline is too crappy for me.
I didn't hate it and I didn't like it.
The Late Owen Macwere Production.
Didn't like the whole Shuyin/Lenne thing, and searching for Tidus, too cheesy for me. I liked the New Yevon + Youth League stuff.

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.

the majority(males) don't like it 'cause they think they're so TOUGH and girls should not be girly/main characters:rolleyes2 :rolleyes2 :rolleyes2
You bought this game KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWING what Yuna was set out to do! She wanted to see Tidus again, and that's what it's based on....so why the hell complain????pisses me off when people try to portray this game as a STAND ALONE FF, IT IS NOT. It goes together with FFX, and it needs to be connected.
And Psychotic said it right, I shall now respect the guy more.

It would be nice for once if you actually didn't shout at people who didn't like the storyline. Maybe they didn't like how it was set out? I do feel offended sometimes when you are targetting people like myself who don't like the storyline.
