My name is Sephaeris and i have FFX-2 impotence, can anyone help me achieve an FFX-2 boner?

Ok this is a bit of a wierd question but, does anyone have any tips for getting into FFX-2?
Ive started it twice and got a short way before i cant stand to play it any more! The generaly girlyness and OTT upbeat attitudes annoy the hell out of me! Appart from Paine, who's a miserable little slag, ie - much better. lol.

Im currently playing my way through FFX again to get to know the characters again etc. When im done with that, im gonna try and have a go at FFX-2 again! I want to get to the end to basicaly complete the story of the two games.
I want to do it and get on through the game, but it just seems a bit silly to me! Plus the dressphere system is bloody rediculous and degrading (bring back materia i say)!

If your planing to play X and then X-2 it'll be worse, the difference of game quality is big and you won't like playing X-2, to keep me going i imagined the ending, i also had problems but in the end of each chapter there's a little motivation

Sephaerith

Ah right. Ok. How many chapters are there? I think i got up to the third before! Possibly the second though!

Do more of the subquests --- it'll bring you deeper in to the game. Try mixing it up a bit --- generally there's no reason to tackle sections in order, maybe take a mission, then try a subquest, etc. etc. Use abilities like the Songstress' Brakedance to make battles easier and anything else that works for your style. If you find you absolutely can't get into a scene, try dialogue-skipping or scene-skipping, but remember that scene-skip causes you to lose percentage if you're trying for that.

Other than that, I dunno. Personally, I'm of the opinion that people don't have a problem getting into it, so much as simply getting it, but that's just my opinion...

Sephaerith

I thought that X was great and one of my all time favourites, but when I bought X-2 I thought it was one of the worst games Ive ever played, so I decided to buy the official walkthrough guide and for me (although it was a bit hard to understand) it was nearly as good as X, so my advise is buy the guide

Oh, I wholeheartedly endorse the guide. There are a couple of major mistakes, but otherwise it's wonderful.

But what do you think the flaws are, I didnt notice any?

Agent0042
11-18-2005, 09:19 PM
Well, for one, it says that in order to get Mascot, you have to get Episode Complete in every area except Bevelle. Incorrect. For Mascot, you need Episode Complete in all areas including Bevelle. Some of the charts are missing data in places and there's at least a couple other mistakes I'm sure I'm forgetting right now but would probably remember if I looked.

Rude666
11-18-2005, 09:39 PM
I am looking at my guide right now and I quote "If you manage to earn the 'Episode Complete' message for all Chapter 5 locations, Brother will present this special dresssphere to his Gullwings.
WOLA know flaw yet Agent, your slacking

Agent0042
11-19-2005, 07:00 AM
Rude666 --- as usual, you've put your keen and penetrating mind to the task and failed to consider all the possibilities. Mascot could be mentioned more than once and you might be reading from a different section of the guide. Alternatively, you could be in possession of a more up-to-date, corrected reissue of the guide (I don't know if this has been done. If it has been, I'd be interested to know about it if you could lay off the "slacking" nonsense for one minute.)

Here's what it says in my copy of the guide, on Page 38:

The Mascot dressphere is a special sphere gained by acquiring "Episode Comlpete" in every area during Chapter 5 except for Bevelle.


That's what it says. I have the Final Fantasy X-2 Official Strategy Guide: Signature Series by Dan Birlew, with special contributions by Elizabeth Hollinger and Wes Ehrlichman. Copyright 2004 Perason Education BradyGames Publishing


Here's another mistake on 238:

Speak to the man in green standing with a group inside the Travel Agency area just to the left of the shop clerk. If you helped your agency reach level 5, he'll give you the Calm Lands Free Pass, which allows you to ride hovers on the Calm Lands free of charge. If you failed to reach this high level but attempted the Publicity campaign anyhow, you'll aobtain the Calm Lands Discount Pass that allows you to ride hovers at a lower fare.


Completely bogus. It's always possible to complete the publicity campaign and there is no Discount Pass.

Duality
11-19-2005, 02:18 PM
It sounds like like you two do have different versions. If rude666 has the same version as me, he has the piggyback guide, copyright 2003, but i found to be crap for some sidequests, eg the mi'ihen mystery and getting the chocobo dungeon

and there is a discount pass for the hovers. you need to ride them 10 times to get it and it allows rides at half price, and it can be gotten at anytime when your in the calm lands

Agent0042
11-19-2005, 04:52 PM
Aurons Ghost --- thanks! I will try that then. So I guess there is a Discount Pass, but the guide is incorrect about how you get a hold of it. I had thought it simply didn't exist.

Hmm, sounds like both guides have some errors then.

Second is that why have that stubid comic relief character (the one with blond hair with the two jerks who help her i forgot her name it begins with a L) its worse than any comic relief character in any game, film, program or anime!

Also the dresspheres are crap, there are websightes for people who want to watch 19,18 and 17 year old girls dress and undress! >:O

I do have to admit the graphics aare pretty good and the battles are reasonal apart from the dreespheres as mentioned earlier.

Although prehaps rude666 is right that it is better with the guid. so if one of you wants to bye it for me i will be thankfull:-P

Im sorry if anyone loved the game but i just think it is poor and a waste of time:)

Hmmmm, I think that FF X-2 was poo compared to the other FF games but it was still a decent game in general.

Oh, and the character you are thinking of is Leblanc (or somthing like that).

Agent0042
12-01-2005, 06:16 AM
SuperNova --- you can edit a previous post if you have something else to add to it.

Yes, the character is Leblanc and her two sidekicks are Ormi and Logos. Also sometimes referred to as Sano and Uno. As for Leblanc --- yes, she is largely comic relief, although if you had taken the time to view some of the optional CommSphere scenes (which I'm guessing you didn't), you might have discovered a different side of her. Also, Ormi and Logos and I think Leblanc too are playable in Final Fantasy X-2 International and Last Mission.

The dresspheres are just fine --- nobody's watching anyone "dress and undress." If anything, the spherechange sequences are quite a visual treat, although if you don't like them, there are always options in the menu to turn them off.

Nobody here's gonna buy the guide for you, although there are numerous helpful FAQs on GameFAQs and NeoSeeker that serve almost as well as the official strategy guide and are sometimes more accurate and detailed.

Just put the TV on mute and open a book or something then. I have no problem with the opening FMV. It's a good, fun start before getting down to some of the more serious stuff in the game. But I know some people don't like it and so just mute it, set a timer for about three minutes or so and do something else.

It's really stupid that so many people whine about the opening FMV.

SuperNova
12-05-2005, 11:59 AM
ur right.

Im no sexist but i thought that having to play with only 3 female characters was a bit crap. And thew most anoyying thing was choosing which dresspheres to perfect on as there are only 3 characters to use. Also the use of chapters does suck, its just there to make it look impressive even though it doesn't. And the most anoyying thing is Yuna. What is up with her, why did she have to change from the nice loving girl to a bitch! apart from that and of corse lablanc its not a bad game!

Agent0042
12-05-2005, 04:42 PM

I still dont like she sounds any better than from ffx.

And have you seen rikkus eyes from ff x-2

I didn't notice anything about Rikku's eyes. Anyway, Rikku is a fun-loving girl, but well, things were so damned serious in X that obviously she had to rein it in.

Yes, it's the same voice actor, just check the closing credits if you don't believe it.

12-08-2005, 01:12 PM
The game has its many flaws i must admit. The battle sequences for a start...it didn't seem to make much of a difference whether it was active or wait, cause you still got attack while choosing attacks or spells in wait mode. Also, the fights were too happy, the music in battles seems to upbeat (guitars and all) as if to say "yay another fiend trying to kill us!". The boss battles were a little better i admit, but the voices of the girls during the fight just got annoying.

They always seemed to be enjoying themselves unless they were underground or reminiscing. Most of the music around the world seemed too stupid and childish. Too much estrogen in that game is what made it like it is lol. The ability to alter outfits simply takes all seriousness out of the game also, and makes it seems like a game for the fanboys of the FFX girls.

I may be corrected on the following bit, but it seemed to me like the plot of the story was all over the place until chapter 3...like the girls just went to random places for no reason and somehow found a plot...well done girls.

I bought it (hehh...) because i was interested in the continuation of the story... being the first FF with voices, its story had quite a bit of inertia to it, and i want to KNOW.

Dresspheres/jobs reminded me of FF5, and many of those are similar.

It was/is the most emasculating game experience ever, and i often curse mightily at my television during parts of it. The drive to level up is strong, so KUDOS. the ability to kick ass is there, so KUDOS. Nobuo was not involved, so BAAHHGH. A select few tunes are awesome, some are fair, some make me want to muffle my ears with my own brain. Some NPCs from X who had dignity lost it in X-2 (Isaaru in particular), O'aka apparently developed vocal nodes.

I think it is fun. The game-within-a-game is awesome (spherebreak). I like the battle system. some of the new dungeons are cool, some are hacks. Yuna and co. are compelled to do some awefully strange missions: I do them for completions sake, and to imagine Tidus (assuming i guessed the 'good ending' properly... DONTTELLME) saying:

"So, uhh... you... you were matchmaking for monkeys. I held my breath for TWO YEARS and you were finding mates for monkeys..."

and of course

"Does your right leg ever get cold?"

Isaaru lost his dignity in X when he was left in the dust by Yuna after trying to stop her in the Via Purifico.

I found FF X-2 hard to get into at first.

I would spend an hour or so on the game. That way it gives you the chance to get used to the battling system and where the story is heading, as well as a chance to decide if it's a game you are generally going to like or not.

Alternatively there's always game faqs/cheats you can look up to help get you through the game more quickly, so long as you don't mind cheating and reading spoilers lol.

I like FFX-2...but I dont...
10 was a good game (by FAR not the best), but 10-2 wasnt all that bad either. I like the new battles, it makes for quicker choices and quicker battles (minus the exp/gil/item tally at the end...). I like the game, but its odd cause it seems to be missing somthing. I can't figure out what it is! It gets really slow at times and I still LOATHE the minigames (10's sucked just a little less). Dresssphere's are nice, but like the sphere grid, they take away all the differences between the characters. 10-2 actually has a one up one 10 in this respect!
I'm still hoping for a revolutionarily extraordinary game that hasnt come around since FF3/6 and FF7. I love the FF series and like all the games but none compair to these two (OMG people talk in FFX, that DOESNT make it a good game, comon' people)

I missed the tense moments of X, I thought X-2 was way too jolly. The storyline was dissapointing too. Sphere hunting, looking for Tidus, whatever, just wasn't a storyline, not to FF standards. Still, it was a fun game and I enjoyed finishing it a couple of times.

I think you're both missing the point. The point is that we've all already played through the story, seen all the scenes and heard the dialogue, at least once, maybe twice. Now we're through with and we just want to level up our characters, collect items and play the minigames and stuff. We don't want to view all that stuff again and that's why scene/dialogue skip is <font color="yellow">gold</font>.

Oh, and for quotes to be quality, they need to use good grammar and spelling. Thus:

It's like reading a book not for the storyline, but the oh so many words which you like to look at and admire.

However, even if there ws the facility to skip in X, i dont think I would anyway, even though i do hate some scenes, as I think playing it for the story is better than just levelling up and collecting items. Thats just me though...

*presses dialogue skip button*
*finds it doesnt work*
*curses*


Actually, FFX does have dialogue-skip, problem is that there's a lot more scenes in X where it doesn't work than there are in X-2. And X has no scene-skip whatsoever.

Just out of curosity, does the dialogue skip shorten the cutscenes, or just end the speech while the scene continues to play. Just asking because when I do skip dialogue, it feels like i have to wait a anyway

I think it's highly dependent, and again, better in FFX-2 than in FFX. The scene may continue to play, but I think it might be shorter.

Also, I think dialogue-skip generally works more often when they're not showing the character's face at the time that they're speaking and will also shorten it more if that's the case.

I've noticed that the dialogue-skip does shorten the scenes, but in a odd way. If there are characters talking and 'lip-syncing' set up to be running then it will keep playing the scene. However if all that is left is some kind of sweep view of the area, then it skips those. Simply put, I believe that it depends on what the graphics have left to do.
that sounded kind of confusing....I hope it made sense

No, it's just something you personally aren't used to seeing from me, because in the past you've posted very little to shout about.

And it's something you're going to continue to not see from me if you keep posting messages that aren't related to the topic just to "point out" something like that.

SuperNova --- I refer to that feature as dialogue-skip. That's as opposed to Final Fantasy X-2, which has both enhanced dialogue-skip and true scene skip. However, "SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY YOU STUPID SHITTING FREEK Button" works nicely too.

Well i do try :smrt:

There are only a few places in ff10 with i want to skip e.g the laughing scene and the scene before you fight semore the third time as a kept dying so i had to hear rikku go on aboout tidus being a leader and crap. But in ff10-2 there are LOADS of places were you need to skip!

As ive mentioned before that i have started ff10-2 again i have got to capter two level 22 and am getting bored! PLease help me rediscover the so called mystical fun hidden in the game!

Buy a walkthrough Guide

I bought the guide myself and found it useful, very useful actually.It's highly detailed and covers everything, I didn't see any mistakes in it myself.Apart from the lack of story, cheesy dialouge etc, the gameplay was very good and parts of the game are just fun.Still, it's not on the level of FF10.Of course that depends on your tastes, if you prefer a game that's laid-back, fun and kinda cheesy(chessy isn't always bad i've come to learn) then FFX-2 is the game.If you prefer a much more serious game, focusing on storyline then FF10 is the game of choice.I liked them both but I prefer FF10, although FFX-2 is fun to play after you've had a few mushrooms.:P

I played X-2 for the first time without the guide, and to be honest it was the worst game I ever played. But with it, I reckon its nearly as good X.

I played the first time without the guide and I thought it was a good romp. I just tried to do the things that looked interesting to me and then really started getting into it once I followed with the guide.

Rude666
12-20-2005, 07:03 PM
I only completed about 60% the first time.
Everything seemed jumbled.
But with a guide, it makes everything clear on what to do.
But there are some things you wouldnt have a clue what to do without the guide, that would ruin the whole game.
For instance, pressing the X button on the farplane. How the hell are you supposed to know that.
Did you know it Agent?

12-20-2005, 07:27 PM
I certainly didnt do that the first time I played, I really missed alot, like the hot springs in ch2, and the den of woe and all that odd stuff, I only got 72% the first time I played.

Rude666
12-20-2005, 07:32 PM
Its not like all other FF games, where you know exactly where to go and you just follow where you're taken. But with X-2, you dont have a clue where to go. Apart from the main storyline, which only completes 50% of the game

Yeah I got around 60% the first time.I had a guide but I wanted to do as much as I could without it first and use the guide second time around.There wasnt a second time around..........I started it again a few times but just couldnt play it for that long.Its not as good as FFX for me.

Yup, and also in the other FF's, you dont need to do the side quests to get the full satisfaction of the story, what little there is, but X-2 you can just do the story missions and you'd miss out on a lot of story like stuff about shuyin and maechen (thought I'd mention Maechen as he rocks!!) etc.

That is a good FMV yes (not the best I think, but a really good one still), but you only need to do good, not really good, or you might start scaring people lol. have you seen the perfect end yet?

HE'S ALREADY DEAD :), but yeah, I'd like some closure on if he reforms somewhere else. Seeing him burst into a cloud of pyreflies is quite depressing, (like when auron did it in X)

Yer I knew he was already dead. I meant..... I cant explain what I meant, but you know what I mean.
And I dunno why but I found Maechen's death a lot more miserable. It's probably like with the Coffee Guy in IX dying. Its just cuse they're old

Same here, I got 99% on my best, and my current one is 93%.

Just joking with you, You probably meant the same as me about when he dissolved into pyreflies in Zanarkand. I miss maechens knowledgable presence. He may have been old ***Possible Spoiler*** at least 1000 years. But him, like the coffee guy never hurt anyone so why did they have to DIE. If anyone should have did, it should have been either seymour, (permenantly the first time), or tidus, (when kimahri attacks him), lol

Also did you notice, on one of the dud spheres that you collect, (I think its the first, in Mount Gagazet) with the one where it has Zanarkand in its prime. And a man speaks saying that he cant believed he shook her hand.
Did you know that it is Maechen speaking?

Sort of yeah, The fact that he says that he shook Lennes hand in chapter 5 is also a big clue, but i think he does sound younger in the black mage sphere (i think thats the dress sphere it is, which may imply that Maechen was a black mage at some time...)

thats why I said imply, and anyway, just cos he's a clever old man does not mean he could not be a mage in his time, the coffee bloke made model airships, or did he just own them...?... anyway, we dont really know much about Maechens life or death so other than the fact that he's a scholar, and possible came from Zanarkand, anything else is in the realm of your imagination
