Maybe this is why final fantasies never have sequels..........
I wont get into the story much but ill tell you its not very final fantasy like, and is kinda stupid.
The game looks good and uses the same engine as used in final fantasy x. The problem is that most environments were taken from final fantasy x, so it kinda takes away from the originality, but there are some good environments. The cutscenes are always as good as ever.
The gameplay is the most thats changed from X. Instead of using summons or gaining magic, you have dress spheres. Dress spheres are kinda like different character styles your character can have. They change your character from hunters, warriors, gunners, mages and such. The cool thing is that every character will change into something different regardless if they have the same dress sphere.
The dress spheres have annoying movie like scenes were they show you how they morph, but you can disable that luckily.
The dress spheres are actually a pretty nice touch and are easy to use.
The problem with final fantasy x-2 is that its really short. Also it makes it feel like a mission based game as you finish a quest you'll see (insert percent) done. This kinda underwhelms final fantasy lovers because others used to be epic stories while this one is just a side story.
Final fantasy x-2 is good game on its own but its not gonna make final fantasy lovers any happier.
