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?
:/
One of the better suggestions we’ve had regarding the whole FFX collection. I would probably get that if it came out.

No, X-2 kind of ruined it for me. A prequel could be good though, I guess.
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.
Story wise, FFX-2 ruined it for me, combat wise FFX ruined it for me.

I admit that FFX-2 gone too much girl power & stuff. But could really say you didn’t like the songs they played too.
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.
Why not?
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.
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’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….
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.
so wheres this new version available? (i kind of thought it was a bit harsh when some people didnt get the dark aeons with X… although not when i first ran into one) and whats the deal with the psi-kicker / party girl? do they have new abilities?
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…
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.

Oh i dont know. I knew how Crisis Core ended -as soon as the game was announced. But i Still love the game and its story.
As Joe Michael Strazynski (Creator of Babylon 5/Crusade and frequent Marvel Universe writer) once said "It’s about the journey – not the destination"
Besides they came up with some great new stuff for Crisis Core Why couldnt they do the same here?
Heck, what about FF6…mmmmm…war of the magi…..mmmm
But, I’d like to see a prequel and maybe a "the children of the Heroes" kind of a tale about where the FF10 lives went and how stopping ‘Sin’ gave rise to a new power or something.
FFX3:
Rise of the Lycans
😛
Unless a game BEGS for a sequel, don’t make one. I dont think FFX really begged for one. Sure there was potential, but you dont always have to act on potential. FFX-2 was not a good game.
FF7, will probably be hated for this comment, but I don’t quite understand why it’s so popular that it’s gained prequels and spin-offs (Dirge of Cerberus anyone?)
Anywho, I guess the one Ff game that intrigued me enough to see a sequel would have to be 8, because of its sheer obscurity and I think underratedness, or I could be wrong.
Anyway, X-3, no thanks.
Hated? Around here, you’ll be loved for that comment.
So does this mean that there are more who think the same way as I around here?
I’m actually surprised about this revelation.
That was the hook line.
They managed to ruin 3 games in one swoop with FFX-2.
FFX, FFX-2 and finally FF7.
Perfect so-called villian, perfect story, perfect sub story of mako destroying planet, that story was so complex thats why u can get a million sequels and prequels, even if they are poor.
Still to many plotholes and idiotic people who chose to see the parts of the story they only wanted to see.
FFX-2 is the pinnacle of failure for SE, not once has their been an all male FF, and look what feminism has brought to gaming? the worst RPG of all time, i havent heard anyone say they liked it and the music was awful.
If you haven’t heard anyone say that they like X-2, then you just haven’t been listening very hard.
I have mentioned this a long time ago in the forums, but I would like to have a game pre-FFX – Basically, Jecht, Auron, and Braska’s story.
FFX-2 was ok, but having FFX-3 would be just too much.
If you haven’t heard anyone say that they like X-2, then you just haven’t been listening very hard.
Kuja??? yeah right, a villian. He just hung around garland to long.
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.
Still kefka is the 2nd best villian of FF, i dont really count sephiroth because in the end he just wanted to restart everything.
In any case, I’m bored with this argument, but I don’t recommend trying it on anyone else here on the Shrine. Trying to argue VII as the best is a losing proposition around here.
that’s about it. I mean… why more? I’d rather a new NON-ONLINE FF anouncement, lol
Of course VII isn’t the best! EVERYONE knows that VIII is!
I’m dreaming with you bro!!
^ This
I don’t really see how they could expand otherwise when you take all the factors into consideration.
Then they should add a girl into it so SOME girls will be ok. If not, I wouldn’t buy it.
And FFX-3? FFX-2 actually pissed me off because it was only 5 Chapters, I was expecting 10 so I could reach Lvl. 70-80. The highest I have gotten is Lvl. 40 before I jump down one of the holes.
A prequel? not necessary–though brief the adventures of Braska and co. were covered in X.
in short, no…I don’t think there should be an X-3 release.
It’s not just a ‘No’… It’s a OH HELL NO!
I didn’t want FFX-2
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…>.<
FFX-(-1) ?
Sound familiar?
FFX-(-1) ?
x2!!!!
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.
i think a prequle would be a bad idea, unless done with a different battle system (crisis core?)
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.
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.

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