I just got this game...almost beat it...and its enthralled me from get to go!
Playing this sequel is fun and exciting from beginning to end. Once again, Squaresoft offers those great controls that makes other FF titles so fun. With new battle systems that keep you on the edge of your seat in a break off of real time...there is no way you could get tired with this action packed hit! Sadly you have only three main characters to take onto the battlefield...but thats rectified easily with the amount of new abilites, magic, and fighting styles you can acquire. So the Y.R.P. group (Yuna Rikku and Paine) are those that you travel along with to unravel the story and hunt spheres throughout Spira. The only problem that could be said is you'll have to find a lotta time to level up cuz you'lll find that enemies can be quite difficult at times even at higher levels. Gameplay is crisp, clean, exciting and fun!
The storyline in FFX-2 is solid and heart warming. Fans from the first should know the gist of what occured in the world of Spira so in this sequel, after the event of the first title where Tidus vanished, Yuna finds a suspicious sphere that depicts her lost love. In efforts to uncover this mystery, you unravel a powerful story of machina evil and Yuna's next mission to preserve the Eternal Calm she fought for in the first. So the story creates a romantic yet action packed atmosphere. Once again Square-Enix delivers a well scripted masterpiece.
If you loved the visuals in the first FFX, you will find no problem at all being treated to the visual mastery that Square-Enix has created to please your eyes. Graphics aren't any different than the first but in this case, that is great news and so, graphics are a perfect 10!
Squaresoft's combined efforts with Enix have helped form a symphony of sweet music that has popularized the industry in many ways from previous titles. Taking music to a whole new level and modernizing the world of FF, players will be pleases to find a pop twist. Yet maintaining the classic sound that made FF titles so great.
If you haven't got it by now, FFX-2 is an instant winner and will capture your heart and entertain you from get to go. You can find FFX-2 for a pretty good price these days and once you start playin you'll realize, this game is worth so much more! You'll be glad you got it, so play on game fans!
