Funny how this implies X has a good plot
Yeah, if I were ever to buy this (which I'm not), I would mostly do that for X-2. The story was terrible, but had no delusions of grandeur, did not take itself seriously, and the gameplay was superb. As Spoony put it, I don't think it's a good game, but I kinda like it.
I'll agree that FFX-2's plot is terrible, but is the consensus here really that FFX
doesn't have a good plot? IMO, FFX has one of the best plots of the installments I've beaten, which includes X, X-2, XII, IX, VIII, VII, IV, and III. I think it's highly developed, poignant, well thought-out, the themes and messages are powerful (maybe a little too in-your-face), the characters are full of personality and are very dynamic. X also doesn't have very many plot holes like I've seen with some other installments in the series (ehem, VIII).
I also happen to be a sucker for tear-jerkers.
I'm trying my hardest to not come across as an ignorant fanboy here, but I really do think that comparatively and objectively, FFX has a very good and developed plot. To each their own, I guess.
