You should probably give ffx-2 a playthrough because when you tell your friends or somebody how totally fricking cool you are that one year you beat all the final fantasies and then the other person says "even ffx-2" and your like "no" it will totally ruin the moment.

But seriously I liked the game, I think you should go for it ;)

I really liked the gameplay in ffx-2. It was super fast-paced.I also liked the customizable class system in it too.

btw the story is pretty sub par for a ff game imo

As stan alone games I don't like neither X nor X-2 much because I feel that both have flawed story presentations. However, when put together the story becomes quite well presented and actually very enjoyable.

I'd give FFX - 8.5/10

FF X-2 7.5/10

But I'd give both 9.0/10 as one big story, playing X-2 and putting a closure on the FFX story as well as seeing the whole Lenne and whatshisface backstory was awesome and X-2 had some really beautiful and emotional moments.

Keep in mind I don't care about gameplay one bit in JRPGs most of the time as long as the games aren't hard or frustrating.

I haven't played that game in a long time, but I really liked it and I personally think it catches a lot more flak than it deserves. The gameplay was pretty fun, fast paced, and it offered a rather unique battle system. The only major issue was that the story was quite subpar for a FF game.

I picked up X-2 because I was curious as to how the story would continue from X, which while not the strongest FF story, I did enjoy the game quite a bit. I played a couple of hours, but quickly gave up. I just wasn't feeling the "pop princess" / charlie's angels feel to things. So I stopped playing for about 6 months. Then I decided to pick it up again, and this time played it all the way through. Once I got through the initial 1/4 or so of the game (its been a long time so I don't really remember how long it took), I started to get into it. As the story got more serious and less "pop-ish", I enjoyed seeing the sequel elements.

Overall the finished piece feels a bit rushed and often recycled from X, but I definitely feel it's worth the full playthrough. Just keep pushing yourself to get through the beginning sections, and I think you'll feel rewarded.

Hope that helps.

you should get ffx-2. I liked it.

But you really don't have to force yourself to play FF 1-12. None of the games follow a storyline from one game to another... the only FF's that share a storyline from what I've played are FFX and FFX-2. So don't waste time playing through FF's you don't care about.

X-2's story is okay, it's just not quite up to par with typical FF games. However, the customizable dressphere system gives it some of the best gameplay in the series IMO.

I actually enjoyed x-2 a good deal. I liked it enough to get 100% on the international+ version.

in my opinion, ffx-2 was my favorite one of the series, right next to 8 and 10. it has a great story, an AWESOME soundtrack, and bueatiful women. i would say play it through, once to finish it, once to get 100% so you can see the "good" ending, and to give closure to the story of final fantasy x. i say, go for it.

The game tries to take an origanal stab at character leveling, and failed, the story was tipical, but the game itself I found was entertianing for the most part, never played it through, I imagine youll like it.

I haven't gotten to the real ending yet, which is only possible if you get 100%.

Not sure where the hate for X-2 comes from...but I liked it better then 10. Although 7 & 8 destroy both of those. I guess cause people sucked at it, they began to hate it......not sure.

It's a fantastic game, it does the sequel justice.... not as great as X but it is a great game...
