    Not as good as the original FFX, the story is a joke and it is way too much super-flower-powery. Still, the RPG mechanics are extremely good and, in general, super addictive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In all honesty I hated this game, they ruined the story for me and beings that's all I bought it for its getting a really bad review. To start off, the main character in this game has gone through complete lifestyle change after her religion in the first game was smashed (which to a degree makes sense) but who would go from being someone willing to sacrifice themselves for everyone else, to a pop star that is continuously in search of her lost boy friend? Now, if I can over look all the stupid dancing you focus in on the enemies, the main villains in the game are jokes, they want to be rich pop stars and are trying to steal the main characters identity? If that isn't bad enough by the end of those same villains are showing their good side and helping you out. Then there is the battle system, I'll admit its kind of neat, but the AI is always going to be able to make choices faster than a player, if it paused when you were making choices it'd be pretty cool, but as it is its just X's system that ignores the time it takes for players to make decisions, allowing your enemies to sneak more hits in why you try to select your dang attack. Finally there is the ending, the reason why anyone played this game was to find Tidus, that's what everyone wants to see, and after watching YouTube see you actually can, not that I'd have ever figured that out because you have to get a 100% completion, and the game really isn't enough fun to make one want to grid through it to get there.

    So in all, I found the characters to be over simplified, the battle system okay, the story dumbed down, the music rather meh, the sphere grid lame, the recycling of all the environments to be rather lazy (except the villain that they rebuilt, that was cool, but most of the new areas were just hall ways that used the same tile over and over), some of the puzzles were good, but in all it just left me wanting more.

    They also recycled all the aeons as bosses, and your base is a flying car... literally.

    I could easily have given this game a better review if I wouldn't have played the other one first, but after playing X and then X2 you realize how much they recycled and then failed to produce a good story, this seems more like a budge saving game to milk people's money who loved X.    … Expand

    There was a graphic evolution compared to X, including more fluid reactions from the characters, but there was a great reuse of scenarios (many of them remarkable in X)

    There are two cutscenes with absurd good music.
    Very weak story, it gives you a very good taste at the beginning and it could be something incredible, but it drags to the end. End just to leave a smile on the faces of the guys but it seems that it was a business put aside from the type (whew, we forgot the tidus, let's solve it here quickly).
    Special dresspheres are pretty much useless in the end.
    To miss the perfect ending, just don't sleep on the ship once and that's it, you missed a conversation at that exact moment the chapter ended. Don't even think about playing this game without a lap strap walkthrough and look before every step.
    The game tries to pass something light, which I found super cool at first, but then it gets tired right in the second chapter.
    Summary: The game at the beginning is very exciting, a lighter grip, lighter missions, but then the game does not excite. The story starts off very promising and gets a little disappointing. A nice game, but I ended up dragging myself to get 100%

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Always said about this game, that it's good as a game, but not good as a Final Fantasy. I think it doesn't fit well in the theme of its predecessor, but still it's cool and addictive.
    Yuna goes through a bit of change from the previous parts. But still this game is one of the only Games I've ever completed 100%. And had fun doing it! (even through blitzball really sucked in this one)
    As for the ending goes, for the best ending, I mean... I kind of enjoy bringing Tidus back because it was sad, he was gone but on the other hand, The ending of X, as well as the story,was so perfect that it really doesn't make sense. Still, was glad to get to play this game.    … Expand

    (going to try to avoid spoilers for both this game and Final Fantasy X, but there will be many comparisons since they link together.)

    I can already tell there are a lot of negative reviews by people that either didn't play the game or barely played it.

    Final Fantasy X-2 is not a sequel to Final Fantasy X. It's a side-game concerned more with building the world of Spira after the events of Final Fantasy X than it is continuing the story of it (which it absolutely does not do in any way). Whereas the story and world of Final Fantasy X was dark, somber, and honestly pretty depressing, the story and world of Final Fantasy X-2 is more hopeful, silly, and lighthearted. The first chapter or two, especially, probably isn't for everyone (the story at that point is very cheesy and Charlie's Angels-esque) but the actual meat of the story begins after that.

    The game takes place 2 years after the events of Final Fantasy X, with Yuna now free of her Summoner duties and travelling with a group of Sphere Hunters known as the Gullwings. You explore the world after it's begun to "heal" and help out the citizens while also progressing your own personal worries and goals. Saying too much past that is probably spoilers.

    Spheres are like magic "recorder" technology that keep track of events that happened in the past (well, oversimplifying it). These Spheres can also be turned into "Dress Spheres" after collected that act as new classes for your characters to equip. These Dress Spheres can be placed on a grind to grant extra buffs and then equipped by a character to allow them to change classes on the fly during battle.

    The battle system is far more fun, robust, and potentially difficult than the fairly 1-dimensional system of FFX. Lost is the boring turn-based system that required very little strategy and back is the ATB system that has always been far superior. Back is the class system that's been dead since Final Fantasy Tactics. The combat system and return of classes is what put the combat of FFX-2 far above FFX.

    Storywise and character-wise... yeah, not very strong, but not terrible either (we already know many of them, so...) This is definitely a weaker part of the game.

    Music is fantastic outside of a few tunes near the beginning of the game

    Another weaker point is, much like FFXII (PS2) you have to do very particular things in a very particular order or be locked out of content (in this case a 100% rating and a dress sphere)

    Also, the end-game content is FAR more difficult than FFX, so if you like challenge, even at max level, you will have at least a bit of challenge.

    If I gave FFX an 87% and enjoyed this more, then to be fair, including it's flaws, will give this a 90%
    That said, the HD Remaster version brings decent amount of content to sink your teeth into so I'd recommend just playing that one instead.    … Expand

    Not as good as FFX. This game lacks the heart and soul that made FFX great. The music is forgettable and sometimes sounds like something from a commercial, the gameplay is quite annoying and doesn't allow for strategy. The story is pointless for sure.

On the negative side this game has much recycled assets, a sometimes silly story and I recommend a guide because of so much missable stuff. On the positive side it is good recycled content, the job / dress system is excellent from a gameplay perspective and it gives closure for the story of the previous game if you do the right things. The story itself is set approx 2 years after the events of Final Fantasy 10. Yuna has done what was thought impossible. She ultimately saved the world of Spira from a death spiral but at a high personal price. However not all is unicorns and rainbows as the people of the world have fallen into different factions with colliding worldviews. The changes that came with saving the world might lead to disaster. Meanwhile Yuna, Rikku and the new character Paine are on a mission involving an impostor that leads deeper and deeper into a secret that can change the world. I like the story, lore and worldbuilding while fully admitting that there are really some silly / goofy moments (or moments of disbelieve). You can also get closure to some arcs, learn new stuff as there are still some surprises and twists. I think I am too nice here as fan because many other despise the story. What I liked is the job / dress system. You get spheres that give your characters access to jobs. From normal stuff like Warrior, White Mage or Thief to more obscure classes like an Animal Tamer. Some you can obtain through following the main story and others are hidden. All characters can use all costumes but there is one special one for each of them (Special conditions must be met before use in each battle but these costumes are insanely powerful). Remark: There is a Garment Grid where you have to arrange the dresses. These give another array of tactical options. Some have more spots to use and others have benefits like one / multiple basic bonuses / abilities, stat boost when changing jobs in battle or protection / regeneration. There are a lot in the game and some are immensely useful (Depends also on play-style). They used the standard active time battle system familiar in Final Fantasy at that time. It works well and there are some challenges here. Gameplay: My main complaint is that there is a lot of missable stuff. I bought a guide and it has 42 pages for side missions alone excluding mini games. I like finding hidden stuff and puzzle out some things but here it goes too far as some things are in the “They expected that we figure this out alone?” realm. They have an extra to do list at the end to get everything right. You will never get the best ending without a guide but there is GameFAQs for this. There are also a ton of mini games. There is a PR duel, a card game, Blitzball (different from Final Fantasy 10!), bonus dungeons and a shooting game atop on all else. Lets talk about the presentation. Like I already said they reused a lot of assets from Final Fantasy 10. This means everything looks and sounds good but it is still a bit of a disappointment. I think I will give my final rating. Overall this is a fun and enjoyable game with some weaknesses. It would not have been received well as main game. The story has its strengths and weaknesses too but it gives closure. The battle / dress / job system is excellent however. It is for people that enjoyed the prequel and for all others it is not a good game that I would recommend without warning that you need to know or have finished the first game.… Expand

    The story has a 'prologue' to a show that is ok, but the first real arc in the story is pretty bad. The whole theme of hunting like spheres was okay, but the way they did it with those stupid LeBlanc interactions was pretty rough. Later on we have a context for LeBlanc and she becomes a more pleasant character (despite being tainted by the horrible presentation). At the end of chapter 2, the story takes a slightly more serious and less boring turn. The political issue for an interesting idea, but it didn't really affect Yuna's 'main' story. Personally I liked Paine because she is the only one who has a real serious tone to the main characters, but the way her story was handled did not please me (the story itself was okay). The Gullwings in general was one of the 'light' aspects that pleased me most in history. The game has some emotional moments, but almost all of them are due to the events in the first game. And the 'new' emotional moments don't have much weight due to the lack of 'context', focus and detail on the history of the past there (I don't want to give spoilers). Perhaps my main criticism of the story was that it has too much secondary content that has significant importance in the story or simply adds to it or the world, unlike FF X.

    The fight is very different from the first game but I still consider it a good fight, but I certainly found it worse. It involves much less strategy, but more timing and reflex. This is not exactly a problem and only that when I play a turn-based RPG I want a combat as strategic as possible. The game has a new movement system, only in the last dungeon did I discover how to use the 'right' of the jump system, you have to keep holding the button (strange). But I admit that this system made it possible to add another layer to the level design (even if it was sometimes misused).

    The change in Yuna's personality and a very complex theme, I thought it was kind of forced, for sure, but from what I had read I thought she had changed from water to wine but I didn't think she had changed so much. As for the design ... the face and hair I found peculiar, that '' 'strand' '' of her hair, especially the face, I just didn't understand why it changed.

    A good OST like others is average.

    Another thing was that the story had billionaire, even compared to Final Fantasy X.

    Obviously I thought Good Ending was very good, but I recognize that it 'spoils' a certain aspect of the original story (100% True Ending, I didn't think it was so much better). And although I tried unfortunately I couldn't get Good Ending.

    At the end of the day, I would say that this game was made 110% to farm on fans of Final Fantasy X, which at the time was a huge success and success (I would say unexpected) from Square. It is the second best seller in the franchise.    … Expand
