I've played this game once and am playing it again. In terms of storyline, it is absolutely wonderful. You get to play as three female sphere hunters: Yuna, Rikku, and a new character Paine. They all have great depth and personality. Yuna has become a sphere hunter and is searching for Tidus who disappeared at the end of Final Fantasy X. In my opinion, it seriously needed to be wrapped up and this game did the job. There's of course a deeper story to all of this and it gets even sadder when deaths come into play. And that one Cinema in the Thunder Plains brings me to tears. The battle system is something new. It's almost real time battles. Of course, it's also turn-based. Another unique thing is the sphere grid has been replaced with 'Dress Spheres' and the leveling system is back. The characters can change their 'jobs' in and out of battle. The transformation sequences are rather gorgeous except somehow, this game has gotten a little perverse. Probably to attract male players. Each girl also has her own ultimate dress sphere that you can find. However, there are some things I didn't like about this system. For one, the monsters are weak shadows of their former selves in Final Fantasy X. Monsters that once had thousands of damage are reduced to weaklings. Outside of battle, there are loads of missions and Yuna can actually jump and climb to get to certain areas. Oh, about the missions, you don't need to complete all the missions to end the game. However, depending on how much of the game you complete, you get different endings. That's something unique as well. And with all these different missions and side missions, you can never get bored. As for the music, it's changed loads now that Uematsu's no longer doing the music. Some tunes can get a little annoying, but there are some really good tunes too. Overall, it's not bad. The voice acting is also rather well done. Except, I really don't like Yuna's voice much. I didn't like it in FFX and I hate it even more in FFX-2 since she's a changed person. Graphics have improved loads. The Cinema scenes look even more life-like now compared to FFX and I thought it'd be impossible for the PS2
