What I dislike about this game - Page 2

February 10, 2007, 8:48 PM

FF-X-2 just felt like a highly diluted Final Fantasy and I was really put off by the first chapter. I actually stopped playing it before the 1st chapter was over; I'll try it again later though. I just don't think it has the right to bear the FF name. It wasn't one, if it were I wouldn't have slammed it down so quickly. I know i'm being a bit heavy for someone who hasn't even completed the first chapter but I watch my bro play it and it has nice ideas but just isn't a true FF game.

When I completed X-2 the first time, I felt exactly the same way. But then I went back and tried it again, following a walkthrough. If you just play the chapters and do the essential stuff, it's an awful game. You miss out on a lot of the story. You've really got to go back to every area at every opportunity to be able to fully appreciate the game. Sure, it's different and change is often perceived as bad. But you should look at it in the sense that, yeah, it's different from the usual FF format, but why not just enjoy the changes? Make the most of something that's most likely going to be a one-off. I dislike the whole chapter thing, but it's something different and keeps things fresh. Shouldn't let it stop you from enjoying the game.

I agree. What i especially didnt like about this game was the simple fact that it was X-2...it was the exact same world from X and i got very bored of it before reaching the last chapter. I only completed it just to say that i had. I have never played it since...

This was a wierd one i mean someone said it was diluted, which given the fact that i thought x was diluted in the first place this was even more so. I mean there was very little areas and fmvs. It seems like the programmers one day thought hmm, lets just take that old code an add a bit to it, so spent the rest of the day adding to x and released it. Now i know why there was no ff sequals before. Could have been a hell of a lot more better. Still playable tho jus no where near as good as any other ff.

It kind of ruins the concept of FINAL Fantasy. But then so does all of VII's sequels and prequels.

(Yeah, I know the story about how 1 was created)

what you dislike about the game is not what i care about...

anyhow, you need to have "love" for the Characters before you can like a game... if nobody would've liked Cloud(or any other key character), FFVII would've been a "forgotten" game

i have always carried a love for Yuna, since she's a summoner, and a pretty girl, a nice girl and all, i really like that in a main character, thing is ofc, not many others like that, many want a main character to be like Cloud or Auron for example...
a hero or a leader... Yuna is in fact neither of those, she's just a helpful person, always helping people, getting herself in trouble by doing so

sure she can be seen as a hero after helping those people, and sure she has defeating Sin and Yu Yevon, heroic deeds indeed, but people know that she had 7(or 6?) guardians to help her... as i understand it, Cloud actually destroyed Sephiroth pretty much on himself at the end of FFVII, just as he did in the movie...
but i'm going off-topic...

the game design was different from others, the dress sphere system, only 3 characters, all other FFX's had a rather different system and more characters to choose from, but FFX-2's story doesn't allow this, sure they could've twisted it around, but it would've made it even "worse"(i think it's one of the best games i've ever played)

anyway, no further comments... you get my point

Thing is, I really loved Yuna too. She is one of my favorite FF girls. I didn't like what they did to her character in X-2 though. She became, well kind of annoying. And Rikku got it even worse and I could hardly stand her in X-2. Paine was cool though.

Yuna changed in a good way to be honest, she's still the nice girl, but her outfit is the same, and she got some attitude, in FFX she was totally lost at the least that happened, now she actually can stand up with a bad ass attitude and say, "dude, you're gonna regret you said/did that" or something

in my opinion, that's a great change

i found Rikku didn't change much, only she became, more stupid, in a way of less intelligent, she was still the same girl, but she seemed to have lost all of her knowledge about stuff, ending her up in spouting all kinds of bullshit

but the best change was Brother... hey FF's aren't only about playable characters, ya?
Brother acted stupid when he only knew al bhed, now he's learned english he even more stupid, this change from stupid to even more stupid sure adds a humoristic flavour... but FFX-2 is very different then FFX for a reason, if they were all the same, it'd be boring, and "worse" then it already is,(i thought it was awesome, but i'm very open to changes into a game)

and explain to me when you mean by "annoying"?

ffx-2 was always a pretty shitty game tbh never did realy like it yet me friend praticly completed it 100% yet i couldent be assed to play it thorugh to get the extra dresspheres that i had missed i think x-2 marked the downfull of final fantasy that is happeneing on the most recent ff games
