wow...no one's even taking notice of the bright sides that FFX-2 brought
FFX-2 brought in the first bit of combos in Final Fantasy, and the use of Trigger Happy made that possible. And come on, who didn't love that ability? Also, the annoying sphere grid was tossed, and the new Garment Grid brought back the old roots of being able to choose was class your character was, instead of you having to deal with the same crap over and over with the same characters in FFX.
FFX was also a bit short on big sidequests, like the Via Purifico in FFX-2. And the music in FFX-2 had more of a message in them, you knew right away what was meant to show happy, sad, angry, and other such moments.
Of course, I'm not saying FFX-2 had its flaws. I wanted so badly to be able to use Yuna and Rikku in blitzball in FFX, and even though you can in FFX-2, you can't control the players anymore, something I still can't believe Square Enix decided to do. And finally, let's just say it, FFX-2 was a blatant attempt at bringing in a larger male audience into the FF series, with a blatant Charlie's Angels ripoff.
But you have to agree, it worked.
