    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

    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.
