Its been a while since I seen threads about FFX-3. So I thought I just bring it back.

Ever since I beat the game. It got me curious. How did Tidus come & the aeons as well? Would that mean Sin is coming back?

I know most of everyone think its pointless to make another one. I heard alot of people were disappointed with FFX-2....... At least they got sweet songs

But if they put some action like FF-13, they would for sure be able to sale. Just imagine yuna with dual pistol action and at least make Tidus a playable character again with sword action.

Anybody left who still wants FFX-3?

A prequel with Jecht and co. would be terrible. It would be exactly like FFX, except without any of the plot twists and an ending where everyone dies. Who wants to play a game where your reward for beating the final boss is a slap in the face?

FFX did a decent enough job summarizing all that we needed to know about Braska's journey. We don't need yet another sequel to a game that didn't really need one in the first place.

Depends, if you stop looking at it as a sequel to FFX and try to ignore the storyline a bit, the game is quite good. Gamplay wise I loved the game, I do have a few complaints about some randomness and the fact that you -have- to consult a guide to get a 100% score. Simply because the game does no explanation as how to complete certain missions to get the Episode Complete, rather then concluded.

A prequel would be better then another sequel, but I honestly believe that Squeenix should stop milking everything they can and focus more on original new games.

It depends on how they go about it, it could reveal some secrets which were NOT covered in FFX. I mean, look at Crisis Core, everyone knows what happens to Zack, yet it was still made.

They also don't have to use the same aeons or the same battle system, and they probably could include some temple or some area of Spira that didn't exist in FFX. But if they put, say... Leviathan in Djose, then so what? Things change, look at Isaaru, he had just come out of Djose when you first meet him, yet when you fight him he hasn't got Ixion.

There is room for plot twists and surprises and secrets, it's not all about the aftermath of beating Sin. That's probably not even supposed to be a surprise, so it's not like it'll be a slap in the face to whoever is playing. They'd probably play it out as a surprise showing Jecht's reaction, but it should be no secret. That's how prequels always are, asking for a surprise ending to any prequel is asking a little too much.
For instance, certain sidequests with younger versions of certain characters would be good... like Seymour or Nooj or one of the Maesters.

But other than that, it would be kinda cool to see what it's like fighting the final boss, and they never really showed what it's like to perform a true final summoning, not even in the FFX flashbacks.



No, I think most people had enough of the FFX universe. I wish I could say the same about the FFVII universe.

FFX just had ONE more game. There's always room for more.

Personally I'd like to see another game set in the FFVIII universe, prequel or sequel. Hah... better dream on.

S-E can sell shit on a rock and make millions, sadly I'm not exaggerating. FFX-2 wasn't bad, it wasn't what I thought it would be but I still appreciate it as a good game. I like X a hell of a lot more, imo they should have switched the battle engines around. In X nobody had a battle personality everybody can hit 9999 with magic and attack, everyone has same skills and magic. In FFX-2 it's the same thing but you have to just switch spheres. I'm just saying the sphere grid would have served a hell of a lot better for a game that had only 3 characters. And the Dress Sphere system would have been better for a larger party. Not that the battles are any different anyway.

I'm in agreement with Jeff. At this point, the presumption that Square must write some brilliant or even plausible story to sell a game is ridiculous. While I highly doubt they'd purposely script a pile shit, they have already made less than stellar games which sell simply because of a franchise name. If it's called Final Fantasy, millions of eager fans have already decided to purchase it.

On the matter of X-3, I'll pass because I feel Square already fouled up with X-2.

Not that the battles are any different anyway.

I have to disagree. The Dressphere system is more fitting for less characters, considering how many there are. In FFX everyone sort of specialized in something (with Kimahri as a wild card), and took turns specializing in something, tracing each path until they make a full rotation.

FFX-2 was fine with just three characters, because as far as systems go, acquiring new Dresspheres was the equivalent of meeting new characters, seeing as in most of the games they all have their own specialized trait. Managing the 14 Dresspheres between 7 characters would be a bit of a nightmare.

In the international last mission version you can get more characters anyway, so that problem's pretty much solved. I saw Dresspheres as the same as acquiring characters, and not like acquiring Materia in VII.

05-30-2008, 03:17 AM
I don't quite think that's right in both FFXs nobody really had a battle personality. Everyone acquired the same skills even though at different times. The only unique trait they had were overdrives (which I thought X-2 could use).

Eh... considering on average beating the game without being a perfectionist, most people would have completed exactly one path and just a tiny bit more. Especially Wakka. Hell, even with being a perfectionist and fighting each battle as it comes without going OUT OF YOUR WAY to level up, by the time you're at Yunalesca, everyone would just be finishing their own paths, Wakka possibly wouldn't even be done with his. That's exactly what happened both times I did a perfect game in FFX. So, unless you're really going out of your way to, say, defeat the Arena monsters and Nemesis, literally if you do everything but the arena and beat the game then each character would most likely have covered just their initial path plus a bit more, with the exception of Kimahri.
Yes, everyone can learn anything, but considering for each character you have to go out of average bounds to learn the 85% that isn't theirs, I'd say FFX DOES have battle personalities, and in a great way at that. Just because they're not exclusive like in FFIX, it certainly doesn't make them not battle personalities. It's just, battle personalities with a way to unlock everything for everyone at such beyond late stages in the game where battle personalities barely even matter anymore. Well, with the exception of Friend Spheres and all the other special spheres, but those are limited (I know there's not a finite number, but you know what I mean by limited. Hard to come by and limited in your inventory).

And also, even after going beyond covering their initial paths, the order they do them in makes each one unique. Most don't make it through all seven anyway even after beating Nemesis. Usually even the average PERFECTIONIST makes it to somewhere between two and 3.5 paths at most.

i never knew about this version with new characters! does anyone mind explaining to me how the hell this worked? did they have dresssphere access or just specialised move sets or what?
i'm really impressed that anyone can beat nemesis without going round the whole sphere grid with every character. i only just managed to beat the dark aeons and by that point i was replacing spheres with the clear spheres... and even when all my characters were on max stats for everything but luck, i still couldnt beat him.... i guess i just suck at FFX....
i wouldnt mind another sequel of some sort but it'd have to be quite different again. i'd prefer it to be set a good hundred years away from the others, maybe we could even see how yu yevon ended up as sin? or see what things are like a hundred years after sin was killed, and yuna is revered as the head of some religion that could have grown as equally corrupt as yevon did? i doubt that'll be happening though anytime soon....

Are you talking about International and Last Mission? It features two new dresspheres -- Psi-Kicker and Party Girl and also a new set of mission tasks that make up the "last mission" portion of the game. And yes, from what I understand, you apparently can play as other characters, though I don't really know the details about it, not having access to the game.

Yeah, I've seen vids on youtube of players playing as auron and other members of the FFX crew, but from what I gather, they only have the abilities of their appropriate dressphere (ie Auron can only use Warrior abilities, Lulu can only use Black Mage abilities, etc.). I don't know how the mechanics of this work, however; I'd like to try it out someday.

Agent0042

My understanding is that it was only ever released in Japan, so you'd need to have a console capable of playing games released for there. As for Psi-Kicker / Party Girl-- yes, they are entirely new dresspheres and have their own sets of abilities. Try GameFAQs's section on International and Last Mission for more details-- http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/game/918914.html

and i see they significantly weakened the cat nip (i thought it was cat's bell, but apparently not?) to the point where you can't use it with a gunner to fluke your way through all the via infinito bosses. damn. sounds like a serious challenge now to me. plus theres now some kind of last mission dungeon which is similar to via infinito, but you can only use one character at a time? wow. i really want to play it now, chances to that look damn slim though...
although it does say the game is in english & japanese (except for the last mission bit for some reason) so at least if i do get it i wont have to learn another language for a while yet...

I admit that FFX-2 gone too much girl power & stuff. But could really say you didn't like the songs they played too.

Seriously? One game is not too much to ask. I think if it's the girl power stuff you didn't like maybe you just need to take it with some salt considering they won't be making anymore like that. ... Because some people really liked how different it was from normal. Some people like to try new things like this not knowing how it could turn out.

And I know plenty of people that loved FFX-2. If it just disagrees with your tastes you shouldn't be accusing it of being bad.

I mean I know people who never got PS2s and so only played the PS1 games and down, that always looked down on characters like Squall and Cloud for being repetitive and similar despite different physical appearances, that have been very impressed when I told them of X-2s character nature.

So I rest my case. People liked the game. I know I did. You just didn't have the taste for it, that's all.

Kefka, now i must say even tho he was a coward most times before he became a "god", but the fact is, he was one of the first people tested with magicite, and they said it themselves, it made him insane.
However sephiroth's choice to call meteor was entirely his own.

Well, normally the appeal of a sequel is that people want to see more of what's happening with characters they've grown to know and love. How things are going with Wakka and Lulu's baby? The continued evolution of the Youth League and New Yevon? Final Fantasy X-2 was a format that was much more free-form than Final Fantasy X-- if there were a X-3, I think the ideal might be something even more free-form or unusual.

FFIV needs a prequel. Cecil and Kain as the Dark Knight Dynamic Duo. Would be like Vietnam historical fiction.

Um, Kain is a Dragoon, not Dark Knight Puddles. He took up the path of the Dragoon to follow in his father's footsteps, also a famous Dragoon, despite protestations from the King who wanted him to join Cecil in taking up the Dark Sword - it clearly says that in the game's manual (and NPCs mention it in Baron Castle too early in the game).

Re-railing the topic though, FFX-2 was superfluous enough, so why would we need another useless sequel to FFX, other than to milk a little more from the FF cash cow?

I laughed out loud at this one...while I did play FFX-2 it was WAY lack luster in my opinion. I liked the idea of there being more to see of the FF X crew but once I got my wish...>.<

No FFX-3, spira is too small and I know it like the back of my hand. Unless it's in new areas I don't want it.

Personally I would prefer a prequel. A game that revolves around Jecht, Auron and Braska and their adventures. That would definitely be good to see.

FFX-(-1) ?

So the story would be, Sin goes to Zanarkand and takes a blitzball star away to a strange place terrorised by a monster called sin, this place doesn't use much machina. he meets a summoner in besaid and becomes a guardian, protecting the summoner while they go to each temple and pray to the faith to give them their power with the hope of getting the final summoning to defeat sin?

Sound familiar?

Well, geez, when you put it that way . . . Man, I dunno. I'm sure SE would find some way of making it feel a little more.. 'fresh', shall we say. I mean look at Crisis Core; Zack friggin' meets Aerish (Aeris, Aerith, I dunno wtf to call her anymore) the exact same way Cloud does–he falls through the church roof! That seemed a little too "Oh, please" for me. Maybe you're right, and it would feel like X all over again. But as long as it's only the basic premise that's similar, not the individual moments that progress, I'd be happy. In other words, don't have us fight Wendingo in the same place, or have a Blitzball tournament in Luca against the Goers, that kinda thing.

They could add new areas/towns i guess but storywise it wouldn't make sense since they wouldn't be on route to any aeons, obviously they can't add any more of those otherwise they would have been mentioned it X. Hmm, plus no real antagonist could exist seeing as none were seen in flashbacks or mentioned by auron.
i think a prequle would be a bad idea, unless done with a different battle system (crisis core?)

A different battle system would be a must. You just can't create a sequel, set in the same world, without changing things up. Personally, I'd take a XII-esque battle system, or like you said, Harkus, a Crisis Core style. Playing as Jecht and Auron, with Braska as their backup healer, requires some real-time action in my book.

Sequel to a sequel to a lacklustre game?

No thanks.

Why wouldn't they be en route to any aeons? To make the Final Summoning, (which he did do)Braska would need those aeons so if anything that's the one thing they wouldn't change. I suppose there would be no real antagonist unless they make one up. But just like in FFX, in FFX -(-1)[I kinda liked this name :p] their true goal would be defeating Sin. Seymour was just a dude that got in the way. What the party always wanted was to defeat Sin.
Battle System most definitely needs to be different. Not that the original is bad that is.

Yea, they'd definitely have to visit all the same Aeon temples in order to make the story believable and coherent, but . . . man, I dunno. Those sphere puzzles got tedious after a while though. The Zanarkand one was actually kinda fun though, I thought. A little different from the others. But . . . probably what they could do is change up the layout of the temples and give us some sort of new challenges in them. I've always thought that as long as it's something that minor, it's no biggy to change it up. Long as they keep it fresh, maybe poke a little fun at FFX here and there like Crisis Core did to VII, I'd be fine with it.

Anybody left who still wants FFX-3?

U mad? You want to play more mini-games and side-quests? Because that's what FFX-2 is all about.

I'm not saying that the game is god-awful, but is really mediocre.

This is why i hate Final Fantasy fans nowadays. They have no taste, Square Enix can give a bone to the fans because it have FINAL FANTASY in it and they accept this; And the cycle goes on and on.

See this shit (http://www.8easybits.net/comic/daily.php?date=050119) for example...

Oh, and i don't hate Final Fantasy at all. But today is just depressing to see what the series has become thanks to these so called "fans".



What humanity has become. ._.'

I'm not saying that every fan of the series is like this, but man, open your eyes and see in what you waste your money.

Regarding about FF fans today, I agree with you there Yggdrasil_404. The majority of FF fans now, have only come into the series via the PlayStation 2 series of FF games. Or worse.

Well, considering all the stupid blond teenaged twats who have turned modern music to shit, you can only expect the video game industry to suffer the same fate.

Whoever is cosplaying Zack in that photo is god-awful at it!!! Not that the others are ok, but damn he/she just stands out!

The video game industry is all about money these days, not quality. With each passing year I play much fewer good games.
