Today is the birthday of Final Fantasy X-2, the sequel to Final Fantasy X. Following Yuna, Rikku, and mysterious newcomer Paine after the events of Final Fantasy X, the story focuses mostly on finding lost love and the aftermath of the events from the first game. Yuna, Rikku, and Paine, are now sphere hunters, seeking out spheres which contain the secrets of Spira.



X-2 is much more lighthearted than its predecessor, something some players enjoyed and something that others did not appreciate as much. The game also incorporates job classes, called "Dresspheres", which the ladies can use to change jobs on the fly in battle. These also come with nifty outfit changes. It progresses by Chapter with the player being free (and encouraged) to check out as much as they can in each Chapter before proceeding.



Final Fantasy X-2 was one of the things that sparked my interest in the series. A cast of all females with outfit changes? Uh, yeah! Little me was pumped up for this game. Sadly it had only been announced and not yet released, but in the meantime I got to check out some of the earlier games in the series which ignited my love of RPG's! I enjoy how fun and hammy the game can be at times, although there are some groan worthy moments. But overall this is one of my favourite games in the series and I replay it quite often!



What are some memories you have with this game? What are your favourite aspects? Have you played the re-release? Come celebrate the anniversary of Final Fantasy X-2!
