Final Fantasy X-2

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/finalfantasyx2/index.html

The guy said it is just as good as the other FF\'s, but it gets 8.1

Just as good isn\'t good enough!  I expect improvements with every generation... not just a rehash.

I thought VII, IX, and X were big leaps forward, so hopefully 12 or 13 will be the next leap.

I read elsewhere that in a nutshell that this ff is just a bunch of girly fluff stuff,..which it is but i was hoping they would have made it a little deeper.nothin different here from the last ff.

Funny...it received a 9.5 or there abouts from IGN.  I suggest reading their 6 page review if you really want to to know more about it.

The battle system is supposedly one of the most fun to come along and it has loads of mini-games...not to mention the 5 different endings...the game plus feature...tomorrow is gonna be good:ccol:

I\'ll be sure to post my own impressions of the game.

Anyone else pick theirs up yet?

I\'ve spent around 3 hours with it and I can\'t say I\'m impressed.  It feels like I\'m watching an old episode of Charlie\'s Angels.  I\'ve read the story does get more involved later on so I have high hopes.

The battle system...well, as you probably know it went back to the ATB (Active Time Battle) system.  The other Final Fantasy games were like this so I figured I wouldn\'t mind adjusting, it\'s taking me longer than I thought to get used to it though.  It\'s almost as if the battle is moving too fast to enjoy it and I\'m better off just making quick random decisions rather than strategize...but I\'m guessing that\'s because I haven\'t had enough time to memorize all the moves list for each job.  

Changing jobs in the middle of battle is annoying, it was pretty the first time but I even said to myself and my friend who happened to be over, "I hope it doesn\'t do this crap every time."  It does, maybe I\'m just not pressing the right button to skip it though:(

The graphics are more or less the same, the only noticeable difference is the facial expressions.

The music, can\'t say I care for most of it.

I think I\'m still in a time of adjustment but I can say the game is different than FF X...hopefully I\'ll end up liking this one.

Well at least the ATB\'s are back. I cant say im all over the turn based system. I liked the fact that you had to be more crucial and a bit faster in your battle tactics. Meh. Either way, im not so sure about this one. Ill wait for further reviews.

DUH!!  I just found out you can slow down the ATB time, this will help until I get the hold of where everything is.

Nobody else has this game or any interest in it?

I have to say that the first chapter is a bit different but by mid chapter 2 you realize this story has something goin\' on and before you know it you\'re back in some sorta Final Fantasy drama!

The game still manages to keep an upbeat tone to it...better than watching Tidus cry every other cutscene:)

Oh, and the battle system is very addictive.  Curse the job system and all it\'s goodness...curse it I say!

I\'ll rent it after I finish this week\'s schoolwork.

SPECIAL DRESS SPHERES ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
soooooo much power...drool

My favorite regular jobs have to be Beserker and Dark Knight...lots of power.  Equip them on the Tetra Master garment grid and you\'ll do some serious damage as a party.  I have the lure bracer on (more random encounters) and the Tetra Master grid on every one...I\'m at level 45 slaughtering everything in my way.  This way I can enjoy the story rather than worry if I\'ll be able to make it..

The story just keeps getting better, much more exciting than the original game, BTW.

Also, this is not like any other FF game so I\'m not sure what the reviewer was talking about.  It does have a linear story BUT you have so many side quests while in the chapters you can spend hours earning garment grids, dress spheres, gil, credits, and accessories.  

Search everywhere and talk to everyone in each chapter...there\'s some really good stuff laying around.  Nothing has been too hard to earn yet.

So, I\'ve gone from not impressed to fully loving this game.

Wow, I picked this game up last week and I had no clue what I was in for.  First of all I was confused as hell by the new battle system, but soon enough I got used to it.  FFX-2 picks up right where the first left you, and the storyline correllates very well with the first.

The graphics are the best I\'ve seen on ANY console.  So far I\'m enjoying it, and I really like the return to the Job System.  I tip my hat to Square on  this one.

I think I\'ll be making a purchase then.
