I gave a 10 for the Vita version years ago, and I wish I could award 11/10 here because this version is everything the Vita and PS4 versions are, combined. The last Sakaguchi Final Fantasy and one of the greatest video games of all time. An unquestionable must-have.… Expand

The story has a dark, philosophical aspect I really liked, memories, dreams, death, life, friendship, connections,...I feel it's more mature, different compared to many other J-RPG.
   
   The difficulty of the final boss, whilst not horrible, it's challenging, especially if you are not a perfectionist who will seek the strongest weapons and customizations :).

   FF X-2 HD is, meh, not up to FF-X, story-wise it's really not a good epilogue for me. I feel it was more of an experimental J-RPG targeted at a whole different audience, I think a restricted character pool, an all-female cast was a bold idea and under the right circumstances it can be really a good idea, but the game is a bad execution of that idea. It's more fan service with people revisiting Spira and seeing character X or Y....but with far less depth compared to FF-X HD. FF-X ending set a tone also that I lost here, FF-X is violent, dark, sad,...I think the tone of FF X-2 disrespects FF-X lore and story.
   
   I also found the game a tad easier. That bold "job" system, back in the time was also quite futuristic and broke the traditional systems.
   
   I don't know, a J-RPG takes a lot of time to accomplish, maybe if you are a hardcore FF/J-RPG fan, and you have video-game time to spare, give FF X-2 a go, there's still some good ideas here and there, but not FF-X territory.
   
   I have to say that on rare occasions I had some bugs in FF-X HD that forced me to restart the game...I was stuck in combat with no menu (prize or combat).
   
   To sum up, considering the current price and the amount of time you will play FF-X alone,...I can only warmly recommend this J-RPG. FF X-2 is not a horrible game, just that it's compared to a masterpiece of PS2 RPGs :).… Expand

   To be clear: I do like this game: Good Story, Solid gameplay, great design compared to prior titles.

   I can pick up and play this game to ending as a comfortable RPG and on that alone I'd give this a 9-10.
   What muddies this for me is the design decisions for the post-game content.
   Superbosses where mastery of the game involves getting so much overgrinding that it'll match the playtime to just see credits does not a great post game makes.
   Complete shenanigans for getting most of the Celestial Weapons that no one would want to invest so much time into when they can be reworked into more manageable values.
   After spending too much time getting that stupid chocobo race done I expected to just plow thru for everyone elses weapons and power thru but I just couldnt.
   Finishing that race -0.2 seconds time and getting the weapon for Tidus made feel like I was just wasting my time and the idea of dodging bolts, catching butterflies, and stubbing my toes for blitzball for the other weapons over the next 10+ hours just made me quit.
   Knowing that doing all that chicanery to be met with still grinding for hours to either just what?
   Kill Superbosses with auto revive/speed and quick hit strats that requires almost maxed out stats?
   Anyone who goes that far to complete the game by doing the above: POWER TO YOU!
   Though if this game had the following absolutely no-one would argue against:
   Chocobo race 0-10 second time for sigil
   Lightning-Non-Consecutive given# of prizes
   Blitzball-Have the same person who gave you weapon give sigil after winning tournament with Wakka on team and having all Overdrives unlocked (have his overdrives auto unlock with same conditions but not as top prize)
   Butterflies: add 5-10 sec for each prize tier… Expand

It looks great but the dialogue and overall story is just really bad sometimes and there is no way to skip cutscenes. The leveling up mechanic is super confusing and frustrating and overall I just feel like this is a super overated FF game. I felt the same way when it came out on the ps2 and I feel the same way now.… Expand

   Poor game, with no gameplay. Random story with random combat and very poor levelup system.
