2 had an amazing and incredibly dark story. It also had some excellent characters. Kreia, in particular, was cool

Agreed, even though the story completely fell apart at the end. The ending is actually on my list of worst game endings ever.

It only really falls apart when you visit Malachor. Everything up to that point was great

It was sad too. They left some things out that resulted in polot lines not being tied up (the story of HK47 for example), Right before that, the xtory exploded with alot of fantastic plot twists and the coolesqt sith lord since Vader

Yes, it certainly would not make much sense for a FFIX fanboy to despise FFIX, so thanks for keeping things understandable. :)

Storywise, VI and Tactics are far superior to any other FF game.

Well, let's just say that if someone says "FF X-2's story", I don't think about about high quality story, but rather I think of japanese Pop singing and Charlie's Angels :|. Also, there wasn't much to the story other than "Yuna tries to find Tidus", there were not many huge plot twists that I can think of, which means that the story was not that memorable to me either, which isn't good...

Okay, well then I guess none of them appealed to me, then. after something as great as x's story, X-2's story really didn't follow into it's footsteps well for me.

Those are my votes also.

Thought I would hate the new system in FFXII but I fell in love with it. Still like the old battle systems but just like having the characters kind of think on their own in random battles!

X's story is still the best!

Ok.. well listen, now take note that this is ONLY in regards to the stroy, cause people bash this game for far more reasons than the story....

If ALL the ffx elements were removed from the game and it was made off of originality, and i mean.. re construct the names and event sof the game so it is not related to ffx, than it would have possibly been an ok story.

however, 9/10 who cherished ffx for its stroy and caracters were deeply offended by ffxs far fetched attempt at a sequel, It was almost impossible for yuna to be taken seriously and all the events that took place were clearly thrown into the game making it quite clear that a sequel was never originaly intended to be made during the creation of ff10 (wich makes for teh worst kind of sequels)dispite the ending scene of tidus coming up through the water, im not convinced. Many people asked.... "Where the hell did SHuyin or lenne come from, and ware where they b4?, or when the hell did yuna learn how to sing.... and ware where the dress spheres the whole time, and why was vagnagun never even referenced in ff10?" There are almost no strong connections between the two games' storylines.

FF10 provided an exquisite and proper ending and captured just what was needed to provide closure to the game... ff10-2 massacred that, and without even explaining.... Tidus just "comes back", that was terrible, not to mention the 100% ending was complete garbage that explained ABSOLUTLEY nothing

i cant defend myself against that! Vegnagun was left over from the machina war. and if was referenced then Yuna would know about it but she didnt. I love ffx it is my fave game. But ffx-2 is a decent sequel IMO.

I agree though the ending of ffx was perfect and i would have been perfectly happy with no sequel

For me, Final Fantasy VII has the best storyline.

The best battle system is Final Fantasy VIII.

For the PS2? I don't know if I even have a choice; most are not that good anymore...
