    Disappointing game, I played it again with the remaster expecting for my opinion to change but it remains the same: too cliché, melodramatic and the characters hardly interact with each other. This did not age well at all.

    The worst ever minigame created in ff series. The minigame is not fun but tortured.

    I hated this game! You hardly play and you get to hear a whiny protagonist talk for hours. Your time is better wasted playing any other Final Fantasy

    FFX

    While instantly aesthetically displeasing and having bad writing and bad voice acting [really campy b-movie level], it really did seem like it was an 8/10 early on. As the game goes on it becomes more and more abrasive for many reasons. -The random encounters are all rock paper scissors fights where you hit really heavy and so do they, so you have to manually heal your party    FFX

    While instantly aesthetically displeasing and having bad writing and bad voice acting [really campy b-movie level], it really did seem like it was an 8/10 early on. As the game goes on it becomes more and more abrasive for many reasons.

    -The random encounters are all rock paper scissors fights where you hit really heavy and so do they, so you have to manually heal your party after every single battle

    -They hype up this big sports game in the story, then when you finally get to play it, it is a rigged match made for you loose badly in, and then instead of that mattering for the story like they hyped it to, the game disappears into the menu at save spots as an optional minigame

    -there are very annoying puzzles with unnecessary menus that pop up anytime you want to do something

    -There are very few enemy types, they get reused often and in the same exact combinations

    -There are very very cheap enemies that can wipe out your entire party before you even have a turn later on, making them harder than bosses

    -the protagonist is exceedingly dumb

    -a sex scene happens completely out of no where with no lead up romance

    -there is a race of people who speak a different language, and you find books that teach you one letter each, and you never piece it together. You are supposed to combine the letters your friends have found on the same game system by combining the save files. So you go through the game watching all this dialogue in a different language annoyed that you can't understand it and are missing parts of the story.

    -the airship in this game is unusable

    -they didn't bother to lip-sync the characters to the english audio

    -an entire level where you have to constantly be on edge for lighting to hit you

    -and you can't skip cutscenes

    This last point brings me to where I quit. After a 5 minute long cutscene, I was faced with a boss that killed one of my party members before I even had a turn, and then later killed them all in one hit. When you get a game over, it doesn't offer to reload from the start of the fight or the cutscene OR your last save file. It goes back to loading the main menu. You have to click through to prevent the opening movie to play, load your game, walk back to where you were, and sit through the same poorly written, poorly acted cutscene again, only to face the same poorly designed boss.

    I truly do not know why this game is highly regarded, I am more disappointed in the community than the game.

    FFX-2

    At first it seemed pretty cool. I could play through as a giant crab if i wanted to. The job system is cool. I love their goth friend. The way they tease each other is funny and lighthearted. But the more I played, the more sloppy the design became. I went to a place with a mission, it didn't tell me where that mission was, eventually I encountered a red "go there!" arrow on my mini-map, and when i went where it told me, there was nothing to do there. So I tried another mission and it involved going through an entire level you already went through in FFX just to have someone run away so you have to backtrack through that entire same level again, all with random encounters. This is a sloppy mess.    … Expand

    I didn't like any of these 2 games, the worst of the saga in my opinion.

    I particularly didn't continue playing, I searched spoilers in the internet and that saved me.

    The premade characters are not my taste, and the story seems like something for a girl.

    The reviews on this game seem to often be biased by nostalgia. Having never played the original on the PS2 I came into this fresh of mind and hoping to have a great time playing.

Having never played the original on the PS2 I came into this fresh of mind and hoping to have a great time playing. Unfortunately that was not the case. The game comes across as a mess. There are menus that you literally cannot access while in docked mode. For whatever reason when the countless tutorials pop up to explain it, it specifies you must use the touch screen to pull them up. There is no way to do it if docked. Camera angles gave borderline headaches from how rapidly they jump and nonsensical they were. Most of the time, when you finally get out of cutscenes, the overworld is dull and boring. Such basic rpg elements are missing such as gear stats, character levels, and is instead replaced with a unnecessary convoluted "sphere grid" as the only source of growth for your characters. Tutorials in this game are long and make things more complicated than they actually are. Blitzball is horrendous. A completely terrible overcomplicated required minigame. It is introduced with a 12 category tutorial of about 30minutes if that says anything. Animations have not aged well and sometimes characters appear to just sprint in cutscenes. Voice acting is alright, not anything great. Overall, disappointing experience I was hoping to be better. I understand it is a remaster, but that does not excuse it from such bad design and technical flaws.… Expand

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

    It's a good port for the switch, but overall I just really dislike this game. 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.

    Square Enix put X-2 as a downloadable content so uninformed pre-own buyers are ****

    One of the most mythical role-playing games comes to Nintendo Switch in an outstanding port that gives us more than 300 hours of play thanks to Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster along with the addition of being able to use the touch screen.

    Final Fantasy X | X-2 is both beautiful and bonkers, a beloved turning point for one of the greatest JRPG series in video games. Even with its notable shortcomings, it’s hard not to get swept up by its powerful emotions, while there’s plenty for the most ardent JRPG completionists to spend over 100 hours in Spira.

    In a lot of ways, Final Fantasy X-2 could be considered the superior title to Final Fantasy X. The battle system has more variety, the tone is more upbeat and fun, but without the context of the events that occur in the first game, the story just won’t make a lot of sense. I definitely recommend exploring Spira during what should be the eternal calm, but not until after you’ve actually defeated Sin.
