FFX-2 would have worked better as an original story instead of a sequel, since then it wouldn't get the endless comparisons to FFX, which overshadows the great gameplay system. I appreciate the New Game+ features, which I don't see in the main FF titles for some reason.

Leblanc's actually my favorite character, partly because she's original to the game, and partly because she's a fun personification of the archetype popular in anime: the vamp with two contrasting flunkies (Time Bokan, Nadia, Steam Detectives all featured this character)
