I'm generally pretty easily pleased with a Final Fantasy Game. I'm dedicated to the storylines and the gameplay and I buy the games from Square Enix when they come out. But FFX-2 was the only one that disappointed me.

It's not because I didn't enjoy the storyline, not at all. I liked that Yuna was so hellbent on finding Tidus, and I liked that Rikku was there to help her and that everything was connected like a big spider web and that all this crazy stuff was happening.

But the costumes? This is the first Final Fantasy game I've played (I've only played 7-12, barring 11) where it was a female lead, and even a predominantly all female cast. That's exciting! Yay! But...they put them in bikini's...and all the changing dress spheres? I felt t was like barbies, but I liked the versatility. Still, I miss the old specializations, and my clothes don't give me super abilities...

Any thoughts?

so you wanted a Ken to go with your Barbie?

Well you get him on the Perfect ending!

Boo hoo. Would you prefer they wear black capes and equally generic and lame outfits?

I'm not going to strain my wrists over this thread. If you want to experience classic final fantasies then I would suggest you play I-VI, however it seems like Barbie-dolls are more your bag.

Draven, I didn't want a Ken to go with my Barbie, I didn't want a Barbie in the first place. I like the FFX-2 girls, and in my opinion it took away from their prowess as female leads to just wrap some string around their privates and call it good. Ken has nothing to do with my enjoyment of the game and I didn't need a Ken in my party or elsewhere.

I guess you really must have liked getting to dress the girls in their fantasy clothing then.

Could you have missed my point more? I wasn't complaining because FFX-2 wasn't a classic (in my opinion and apparently not in anyone else's). I was saying that of the FF I've played, this was the only one with female leads and it was disappointing the creators felt they needed to be helped along by revealing clothing.

So next time you feel like not stressing over a thread, just don't post. Find something that your actually interested in posting over.

Yay tripple post gloty.

Jesus christ, do the words "Edit Post" mean anything to this guy?

My thoughts is that you have a difficulty to grasp the concept of the job system.


"OH MY GOD!!! MY KNIGHT WEARS AN ARMOR' BUT WHEN I CHANGE TO BERSERKER, HE'S ONLY WEAKING A LOINCLOTH !!!!" @_o

It's not really surprising to see a post-FFVI noob reacting this way.

I guess you really must have liked getting to dress the girls in their fantasy clothing then.

No, i'm just not a close minded fool that thinks FF costumes should be the same for every game. They have more light-hearted and casual out-fits because it fits with the atmosphere of the game.

Pointless ranting and irrelvant in the context of the important points of the game.

Lighthearted? Most of them were sleazy, but whatever. I'll agree to disagree with you.

And someone asked if I wanted a Ken, so I was answering.

I liked the game. Jesus, all I wanted to know from other people was if the whole reason they played was for the skimpy costumes, or if they also liked the storyline.

i didnt like the outfits 30% cause they were whorish (most people just say im not the demographic so the game wasnt made for me anyway) and 70% cause they were a little stupid in my opinion in comparison to ffx and even ffvIII i think that the dresspheres were there because the party was three girls and that you couldn't do much in the way of jobs so they had to do something. as for the story...well thats for another thread right.

Being the fact that they are animated girls, I can say with certainty that the majority of gamers who purchased or rented it didn't think "OMFG underage Rikku porn awesome!", however horny girlfriend-less sixteen year-old nerdies may get a sexual kink out of it idk. In case the whole basis of your opening question was circumfranced around the idea that people *might* enjoy playing the game merely to change in and out of different costumes? They ARE called "dress-spheres" after all. Oh and the edit button holds so many possibilities. If this was your first post well...way to introduce yourself. You post a retarded question and when you get feedback you get all anal about it, wowzers. If you don't like others' opinions then don't post retarded questions.

Thank you guys, and I'm sorry I don't understand how this whole thing works yet. I posted my question because I thought it would be interesting to hear other people's takes on the whole thing. Maybe it was a silly question, but I asked it because it was something that stuck out to me. I'm sorry if people got irritated with me but I got irritated with the rude responses I got. So thank you, Tamarivosa. I do like feedback I just don't like being given feedback that says "I've got better things to do."

PS...how does the edit button work?

Just scroll back to your original post and there is an "edit" option that's next to the "quote" and the "Multi-quote". Go advanced for further options. I don't think a lot of shriners get what you meant, so when the "cunty" replies come flowing it's because they feel it is a retarded question being posted. It's okay to post stupid questions but just don't get pissy when others call you on it.

Ryu >> Ken

Thanks. I'll try to keep it in mind and ignore some responses. And I'll try to be clearer when I post things too...

If Square thought that the Barbie/Charlie's Angels theme of X-2 was supposed to make the game a "girl game", I feel personally offended.

I am with you on that one I wasnt even gonna buy the game except i really wanted to find tidus because 1) I dont like yuna and it got kind of annoying with her after the first 40 hours
but on the other hand I do like rikku and i grew to like the game not like it even cost that much either

Oh, I like X-2 myself, I am playing it second time around now, but there are just too many cringe-worthy things included in it for my taste.

yup like the things they say in battle for example "duck soup" (said by yuna)
"ice ice baby"(paine) and various stupid little things. not to mention some of the game lines.

The battle quotes... Don't even get me started... *cringes already* And the hot springs scene and the "Yay Gullwings!"-scenes and... grbgh!

just give this guy a ken already

I would agree the dialogue made me die a little on the inside in several places. But I wasn't satisfied with the ending in the first one, so I really wanted to get the second. I've had to step away from it to forget some of the most irritating things before going through it a second time for the perfect ending.

The idea that it was kind of a kiddy-sailormoon esque type of game didn't sit too well with me. I'm all for female leads, but somehow it just didn't shine as brightly as the last. I didn't really think number X was too fantastic either to be honest. A good play, worth trying, but not spectacular.

Yeah, I feel the same way about the girls. I liked the premise with all the girls working together but it came off as too young and ditzy, particularly for the Final Fantasy series. Lighthearted is cool, but it was too over the top.

yup do i have to say more than "what can I do for you" the song was'nt bad but this is final fantasy im talking about.

yup do i have to say more than "what can I do for you" the song was'nt bad but this is final fantasy im talking about.

That song was utterly horrible, and it made me feel ashamed of playing something like that. The game picked up from there though.

That song was utterly horrible, and it made me feel ashamed of playing something like that.

Qft.

I didnt hate the song itself, but that it was used in a Final Fantasy videogame, and the way it was used too. :/

Not my favourite FF intro :(

I like 1000 words better but I think they did much better with kiss me goodbye

Honestly at the beginning I was really relieved that it wasn't actually Yuna singing. Then 1000 Words came and I just had to sigh and tell myself to enjoy the cinematography. It did give me the willies the first time through with the whole story and everything.

yeah I almost cried but because of lenne and shuyin not yuna and tidus. I never really liked them together. I liked tidus thats why I played the game not so they would get back together

I feel you on the Tidus/Yuna. They weren't my favorite pairing. I actually thought Rikku might have been a better match initially in X. But whatever his pairing, I didn't like that he just poofed into dream land.

yeah same here im all for rikku/tidus and I think the only reason everyone cared for yuna so much was because she was gonna die for spira. I doubt that he would have fallen in love with her under any other circumstance and I doubt rikku would have let him go that easily if yuna wasn't the high summoner.

What the hell are you talking about. He fell in love with Yuna way before he learned she was gonna die for Spira.
And nothing in the game comes near to letting us think that Rikku is somehow attracted to Tidus.


Fall in love with this virtual character if you want, but don't change the game's story to make it fit your delusions.

no I was talking about the scene when they were riding the hover (tidus and rikku) as for the dying thing I said that's why everybody loved yuna so much he just had problems (that's my answer to everything stupid tidus did when i had no control he has problems) ok so lets put it this way I don't like them together so there *pouts*

Tidus did actually fall hard for Yuna, but it felt like to me that Rikku did have a little crush on Tidus. Just the way she looked out for him and was sort of the one always in "cahoots" with Tidus. She's also the only one actively going to look for him just as hard as Yuna out of all the FFX character who just sort of moved on.

I think personality wise Tidus and Rikku were a better fit. But I suppose that's why I'm not a match maker with a zillion dollars at Square Enix. But Tidus definitely loved Yuna long before he knew what it meant to be the summoner.

But yeah, not my favorite couple ever.

They sooo need to make an X-3, and patch all the "errors" up. X-3 should have the following:

1.) More Tidus/Yuna moments
2.) Closure with Yuna/Seymour
3.) The 3 'groups' in Spira should be disbanded.
4.) Yuna should quit her job as a Sphere Hunter...
5.) Better damn theme songs! Like Suteki Da Ne... That song is one you can't go wrong with.

I'd buy an X-3. I'm with you on the three different Spira factions. They need to settle all this political nonsense immediately, especially since the leaders are all friends, and come up with a single system of government that doesn't exclude any group. I don't care what Yuna does as long as she stops singing. And something not so close to Spice Girls would be nice.

But I thought Seymour was pretty much done for as the psycho ex-husband, and I'd be surprised if they brought him back into the storyline. He sort of served his purpose as the representation of how sick Yevon really was, and when they overcame Seymour they overcame Yevon. Well, he and Yunalesca. It's been a while since I played X and X-2. What did you think still needed telling as far as Seymour?

I don't think we need an X-3... not that SE is going to make one or anything...

but I think we've had enough FFX.

Also... FFX > FFX-2

I'd buy an X-3. I don't care what Yuna does as long as she stops singing. And something not so close to Spice Girls would be nice.

Completely off topic, but man, Spice Girls' comeback was weak.

OK, if an X based game was ever created, I would want to see Braska's journey to defeat Sin, nothing more. Although this is pointless itself, as we already know the ending!

But we don't what other hilarities Jecht did besides getting drunk and stabbing a shoopuf.

So the idea about having a game that focuses on Braska's adventure is an ok idea.

But we don't what other hilarities Jecht did besides getting drunk and stabbing a shoopuf.

I'd buy that faster than a game solely based on Braska. Jecht was my favourite character and playing as him could be great fun.

Oh, I like the idea of a Jecht game even better. And it might be fun to end a FF game as a super destructive apocolyptic monster of doom for once!

And yeah, the Spice Girl comeback was lame.

And yeah, the Spice Girl comeback was lame.
It's like what some people said...

FFX started with a destruction of a city...

and FFX-2 started with a musical concert.

i would buy a game about jecht in a second i would buy another game about tidus in a millisecond and if they finally made a game about rikku a nanosecond

Well, FFX-2's opening just sort of began by destroying my heart and hope, so maybe that's the affect SE was going for? You know, destroy the dream world in FFX, and then destroy all our hope for the sequal, our own sort of dream world we had created for it *insert terribly bookish or psychiatric voice here*.

yeah and then once I realized they forgot they needed a storyline other then the girls running around they added lenne and shuyin

Yeah, the afterthoughts. I did like their story though, a little bit.

it was the only thing that made me sad and the only reason I played was to get tidus back you would think I would be a little sad through the whole thing

The whole game was unhealthily cheerful in my opinion. I mean, Rikku is enough mad cheerfulness, but to have too much girlyness mixed in with her was a little overkill. ^_^

yeah i kind of wanted it to seem melancholy like yuna and rikku to retrieve their lost friend/love and everything. Instead we got yrp and everything not that I hate paine

I didn't want something morose and depressing, but maybe something even things out. Aya, I could only play the game in short stints before my braincells started dying. That was Paine's job, and she totally got sucked into the girly!

yup its a shame and i really wanted to know more about rikku

She's actually Sin reincarnated, and she's merely biding her time until she can destroy Spira once more! Mwa ha ha! You know she's evil, because in the Chocobo mystery she could have been one of the culprits!

i know right i doubt shes sins reincarnation but she might be the al bhed queen who takes over all of spira

wtf how is FFX-2 a barby game its nuthing like it lmao dose barby have to kill aeons??

wtf how is FFX-2 a barby game its nuthing like it lmao dose barby have to kill aeons??

She doesn't kill aeons, but she has a skank-tastic wardrobe for any and every occaision, just like the FFX-2 girlies. ^_^

yup The super yuna fans seem to be some of the only people who cant admit that x-2 did not quite live up to everyones expectations (not your own personal ones) not all super yuna fans but some anyway.

The first time I played FFX-2, I had actually believed that there will be male characters. I even believed that the Crimson Squad trio can be recruited, if not Shuyin as well. Kimahri was still around as elder of their Ronso mountain. Wakka and Lulu were in Besaid. Unfortunately, none of them can be recruited.

I am not sure if I should add spoiler tags, since this game has been around for nearly a decade, but then again... Not everyone had played FFX, so..

lol they should have put your favorite summoner and the cutest albhed around are back with a new gal pal and a larger than life adventure to bring back a close friend and uncover the secrets of their world.
