Thumbs up FFX-2 Love it or hate it

I seem to be in the minority when it comes to Final Fantasy X-2, because it's one of my favourite Final Fantasy games!

And the reason it's one of my favourites? Jobs!

I LOVE the job system, as ironic as it may seem with Final Fantasy VII being my all-time favourite, although I think not having the ability to change jobs in mid-battle would have added an extra degree of tactical thinking to the game play, the fact that it has a job system at all means I love this game!

What do other people think of the ability to change jobs in mid-battle? Does it make the system any better or worse than how battles work in, say, FFIII or FFV?

If you stop comparing it to FFX, it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I enjoy playing this game (though the battle system took a little getting used to) and the job system is, indeed, a fine addition.

But you have to compare it to FFX because it's a laginamate sequel not neccesarily a new game. And plus I mean i can see why you like it so much because of the mid-battle job change but is that the only reason why you love this game. You have to get broader than that. But anyway I'll just say this game was inferior to it's predeccesor. Even though it was a decent game it was a sorta let down in the long run.

i thought it was an ok game in spite of what is said about it. Although at one point i couldnt stand it, but after playin it again i realised its not really all that bad. But unlike u white mage i hate the job system.
However it cannot stand up to x at all, but sequels are never better anyway.

Any sequels are rarely better than the originals but this game still isn't as bad as people make it out to be and the Dress Spheres are one of those things that most people didn't like but seriously, if you've never played this game and you want to then buy it A.S.A.P

It's only a "sequel" to FFX in the way that it continues the same story...

The ONLY thing they have in common is their story, but it's a DIFFERENT game, so comparing FFX to FFX-2 is like comparing FFVII to FFXII.

Isn't that what sequels are supposed to do
