Final Fantasy X-2

Final Fantasy X-2 is a truly magnificent sequel to a great game. One thing you'll immediately find an enjoy is the mobility you have in the game. Whereas many felt that the original Final Fantasy X was painfully linear, Final Fantasy X-2 provides you with numerous opportunities for sidequests and minigames at every point throughout the story. The battle system has been completely revamped, changed to a "Dressphere" system that seems reminiscent of Final Fantasy V's Jobs system. Your characters all begin with a default dressphere, however, as you progress, you'll be able to find more and learn all sorts of new abilities to either ravage your enemies or improve your own characters. The battle system does take a bit of getting used to, but once you're fully acclimated with it, it becomes very fun. One of the best parts is the story and missions system: there are actually five different endings you can see based on how much of the game you're willing to explore. More than that, though, it goes much further than the multiple endings. The game actively rewards you for taking the time to explore stories and missions in-depth. Do so and you'll be rewarded with satisfying plot-events, funny (or appropriately serious) dialogue and some big surprises. Don't do so and you'll find that many plotlines end up incomplete or have resolutions that are rather unsatisfying. That too is part of the fun - watching things go differently and catching things that you may have missed before. My complaints about the game (and they're minor) are: - Like the battle system, some of the music is definitely an acquired taste. There are some pieces that are very repetitive and a couple that are just plain bad. Still, I found that I enjoyed most of the music, even without Nobuo Uematsu on board. - Blitzball - If you liked the blitzball from the first game, then you'll probably be disappointed by the changes. Nothing really works like it used to and it seems like everything is way too fast. A case of a good formula that should have been left alone. Fortunately, there are enough other really good minigames and sidequests to more than make up for it. Overall Analysis: Graphics - 10/10 Story - 9/10 Battle - 9/10 Replayability - 10/10

I absolutely love this game!This is the sequel of Final Fantasy X. Now, this game is very different from many final fantasy, an all female cast; they introduce these "dresspheres" (which are dressess that have different powers, they act like aeons in the game replacing aeons and the sphere grid; you actually fight the aeons to kill them; ATB is used again in the game (the fights are like Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy IV) and blitzball is no longer available to play. Yuna is now with her cousin rikku, and with a girl named Payne. They're called the Gullwings, and they undergo through a series of missions. While some missions are kind of stupid, especially the first ones, the game is all about the side quests, and dresspheres. Some side quests are really hard, like the boss in the desert which has 300,000 HP, making it the most difficult and long(seriously you can be fighting it for like an hour) boss in the game. Also, the side quest of the mini-game Sphere break is kind of hard ,too. The dresspheres are very similar to that of character classes or jobs in previous games like Final Fantasy V, Final fantasy III, Final fantasy Tactics, and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. The characters already have a default dresspheres, Yuna has the gunner , Rikku the thief, and Payne has the warrior dressphere. Every dressphere comes with certain abilites, like the chemist dressphere you can use it to mix potions like in final fantasy x through rikku, there's the white mage dressphere, which you can use it to heal. The black mage only uses black magic to fight in battles, and so forth. To fully use the dressphere the character needs to learn the ability first(like in final fantasy VIII, that aeons need to learn the ability first). Overall, I would say this is my favorite game in the series, and the ending is superb.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: After playing the original Final Fantasy 10, I wanted to try out the sequel. Pretty fun so far!

I liked this game much better than it's predecessor. The story is more interesting, the soundtrack is great, and there seems to be a little more depth with the characters. The trio (Yunna, Rikku, and Paine) are fantastic. There is some humor in the game to help balance more serious aspects to it. There are also lots of chances to faff around and reminisce your previous adventure in FFX.

Great buy, worked perfectly. CD was clean and no skips. Missed this game so much!.

This was shipped super quick and well protected. Game, Case, and manual were near mint condition! This game gets so much hate for all the wrong reasons. I personally love this game and its great to find out more about the characters in X.

There are aspects of this game that I really like, and others that I really hate. I have to admit, the last final fantasy game I played was the very first one, many moons ago, and of course this is almost nothing like that (other than the turn based gameplay). That said, when I started the game, I almost shut it off when I basically had to watch a what amounted to a video game music video and saw that Yuna's dressphere was songstress and she's standing there dancing and singing (thankfully you don't hear it) in the middle of a battle - WTF!? But I kept playing, switching her to warrior and now enjoy the game more. The storyline is interesting (I really need to get FFX - this one was just cheaper at the time). There's a LOT of gameplay, lots of stuff to do, which is great. Wish it was a bit more linear though, as it's really easy to end up in a place you're not nearly strong enough to fight in (one aspect that is really frustrating is that in one of the easier worlds, there's an enemy to fight that kills all three characters in three moves, every time - and if you want to do that section of the game (the shop keeper that owes money), you have no choice but to play that area. I've yet to get by it, so have been checking out the other parts of the game, leveling up). The graphics are amazing as well, which is nice as most PS2 games I've played have crappy graphics (yeah, yeah, I get that it's an older console but still). Am hoping that FFX gets here this week so I can finish that one first before going back to FFX2 as it's a sequel and you miss out on a lot of the nods to the previous game if you haven't played it.

My son enjoys these video games. Thank you 😊
