Did anyone else think there were WAY to many Garment Grids???

Here is my idea on how it should have worked: I think that each character should have had THEIR OWN, and that's it! So they couldn't change garment grids they had one assigned to them at the beginning of the game!

And when you equipped a dress sphere to a certain characters grid, it shouldn't have been available to equip on another grid, that would make it funner since you couldn't have 3 of the same class at the same time... You had to dequip Yuna of the Gunner before you can equip it on Paine's garment grid for example...

And as for the stat bonuses, they should have been called 'Transition Spheres' and you should have had to find them throughout the game, and equip them to your grid much like you do the dress spheres...



Anyway... as you can tell, I really hated the system used in FFX-2, I thought it was childish (wow a dress on a garment grid, clothing is their friggin source of power), very poorly planned as I never used ANY garment grid, I just stuck with the first steps, they were to numerous and to useless to do the game any good...

Personally, this is the first time I can really say that I am very disappointed with Square Enix's work, and I hope they never screw a game up this badly again...

Some of the Garment Grids are junk, but some are very useful. White Signet lets you cast any white magic spell you have, very useful. Higher Power lets you break HP and damage limits, sweet. And there's no reason to keep First Steps on when you could at least equip one that raises Strength and Defense (or some other statistics) by 15 or 20. What's not to like about that?


Oh, and BTW, although I think that the spherechange sequenes are too long, I also think that they are quite beautiful and so I do like watching them at least once.

i'll admit i felt overwhelmed by the number of garment grids. but they did have cool stuff on them.

you don't like casting flare or holy?? :eye:

I agree that there really didn't need to be THAT MUCH...

But I also agree there shouldn't be a lot of Bangles and Accessories in other Final Fantasy games...

I can't really say that it's a bad thing... it's all good in my opinion, especially since there is really nothing too bad with the whole Garment Grid system... other than the fact that Unerring path is almost useless compared to everything else.... unless you're EXTREMELY impatient.

that Is basically what unerring path is for.. just change once, then go sdsp.

i don't think there's too many..GG nor acc. i think there should be a variety. one improvement though, is for them to allow some more skills to be used.. or bring back old moves.. Slice&Dice is interesting.. and what about Fury Cast? the mix list could have increased... it seems FFX had a larger mix list than FFX2..

Shuyin uses "Slice and Dice" under the name "Hit and Run." Fury always sucked, even in FFX.

Shuyin has ALL of Tidus' Overdrives, bu tof course they go by different names... Hell, he even has the same voice actor, so it is a pain to understand what is going on when....

Tidus starts talking to you at the end to motivate you WHILE you're fighting Shuyin..

I completly agree with u there r 2 many.

I completly agree with you about the DSP system in the game, I though that there where too many useless DSP's in the game. I completly hate the DSP system, not that I don't know how to use it or anything, but it's kinda annoying and girly. My sister enjoys playing the game more than I do!!

well, I can say this about the DSP system dislikers here....

I REALLY hope you don't play FFT, FF5, or FF3j, cause it uses the same basic system. All the DSP system is is a fancy job system that's been around for ages. Only real differences are the ability to learn things ala esper, and switching jobs mid-battle. I for one fell in love with the job system in FFT. It's great fun to be able to completely mix things around in the middle of the game to make things easier or harder on you.

I think the main focus of the complaint is all of the Garment Grids. I think there are something like sixty. It is quite a lot and quite a few junk ones really.

Yes but considering that you cannot change weapons or armor and that such, it's not really much to say theres too many. The whole Garment Grid is basically all you're going to get in terms of weapons/armor. Just be glad the accessories are easy to go by in this game compared to FFX... when you actually had to get ~50 of an item to imbue it into your weapon/armor.
