Final Fantasy X-2 is the direct sequel to Final Fantasy X, developed and published by Square Enix. It was the first direct sequel game in the Final Fantasy series and the first to feature an all-female playable cast. It also returned to the job system not seen in the main series since Final Fantasy V. The game uses a character class system where the equipped dressphere determines her abilities and stats. Party members can switch to any dressphere in their Garment Grid to swap to new skills and adapt to different opponents. It makes use of the Active Time Battle system that was absent from Final Fantasy X. The party has access to all locations early on and can visit them through the Celsius, complete several minigames and sidequests in a chapter before progressing through the story to the next one.

I think I'm dropping this for now. I finished Chapter 1 and just don't really care for the plot so far.

I think I'm dropping this for now. I finished Chapter 1 and just don't really care for the plot so far. Also exploration is pretty underwhelming when the areas are almost all the same maps I just explored in the last game. The dialogue is pretty fun but that and the combat isn't enough to draw me in. I have too many other long games to get to.

My goal was to play through the main Final Fantasy entries so I don't feel too bad dropping this, but I do still a little bit. If I feel guilty enough maybe I'll come back to it eventually, lol.

Wow, what an opening. No idea what's going on. This game has some splainin' to do. Also I'm a bit sad we're already back to the ATB system. I really hoped the sequel at least would stick with the first game's combat more or less.

Final Fantasy X-2 is a frustrating slog that is only partially saved by the combat. Each chapter feels like a bullet-point checklist, where you have to pick a different area from a list and find missions to complete. Unfortunately, most of these missions are fetch quests or poorly designed mini-games. The combat has the potential to be good, but it …

Final Fantasy X-2 is a frustrating slog that is only partially saved by the combat. Each chapter feels like a bullet-point checklist, where you have to pick a different area from a list and find missions to complete. Unfortunately, most of these missions are fetch quests or poorly designed mini-games. The combat has the potential to be good, but it is hindered by the slow dress-changing mechanic. Furthermore, the combat becomes unbalanced later on when you level up Yuna's special dress sphere, making her invincible in battles. This strategy makes the final boss trivial. All of this is done for a story that awkwardly forces Yuna to sing and dance, and for the antagonist to resemble Tidus.

I cannot recommend this game, but it is fascinating and worth playing to experience the peculiar sequel to one of the best Final Fantasy games.

Beat FFX-2: The Last Mission and wish I could have that time back. If only there were a separate listing for it on Grouvee. Even if you liked either FFX or FFX2, I wouldn't recommend checking out The Last Mission. I really hope other mystery dungeon games aren't like this one.

I actually enjoyed this more than FFX. It’ll probably drive you insane if you’re a completionist going in blind, but it’s fun if you just play casually.

Still really early on in the game, but I’m enjoying it so far. I could see why people would hate it if they really liked the first one though.

I’m now in chapter 3. I’m mostly liking combat and how new places are not quite as linear as X. I thought the monkey matching bit was cute and it’s funny how Yuna carries them around, but man the stuff between this and X is just so needlessly tedious. Why twelve pairs of monkeys, why not four? It’s so much …

I’m now in chapter 3. I’m mostly liking combat and how new places are not quite as linear as X. I thought the monkey matching bit was cute and it’s funny how Yuna carries them around, but man the stuff between this and X is just so needlessly tedious. Why twelve pairs of monkeys, why not four? It’s so much filler for no good reason, really. The two big “puzzles” in Bevelle made me want to punch something. And at one point I lost a bit of progress where a spiky wall slowly comes at you and you can easily avoid it, but apparently you have to touch it to proceed. So I had to reset. That’s stupid. It’s also odd how after the Bahamut fight there’s no explanation or examination of what happened. Like I feel they would have talked this out in X. That felt weird. While I’m at it, Nooj (Nooj, really!?) is a hideously designed character.

Jumping into this right after beating Final Fantasy X is a bit much since they re-use all the same assets, same monsters but with different names/stats, same character models, same map and locations, etc. The job system is intriguing, it is neat how you can swap jobs mid-battle but only to adjacent ones on a special sphere grid, and I'm …

Jumping into this right after beating Final Fantasy X is a bit much since they re-use all the same assets, same monsters but with different names/stats, same character models, same map and locations, etc. The job system is intriguing, it is neat how you can swap jobs mid-battle but only to adjacent ones on a special sphere grid, and I'm enjoying the lighthearted/goofy tone they are setting overall.

I'm going to shelve this one for a bit to play when I'm less burnt out on everything Spira.

Okay, this is insane. Is it just me or is this game missing a beginning? Am I supposed to know who Paine is, or why Rikku has dreads, or why I can see Yuna's ass? Why does Eternal Calm exist if it doesn't bridge the game between X and this game at all? Weird.

The plot is practically non-existent, but the gameplay is so fun that it almost doesn't matter. Forget trying to get 100% as it's too stressful. It was unheard of back when this came out to have a direct sequel to an FF game. I like this one, but I perfectly understand anyone who doesn't.

There are things about this game I love and things I hate. I thought that the main story was beautiful, and I loved the dressphere system. Mostly, I just didn't like the disjointed way of playing through the game. And all the mini-games... well, just the shooting one, actually. I was trying so hard to get 100% the first time …

I was trying so hard to get 100% the first time through, and that mini-game was the worst for me.
