S-T Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I am playing through FF 9 again, and I've fallen in love with Final Fantasy all over again. I'm seriously considering getting X or X-2 (or both). So naturally, I'm curious what people here think of the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Outside of the Billy West and John DiMaggio voiceover, I find them both to be utter tosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 X was the best FF since VI. X-2 is a fun game that no self respecting male will ever admit to enjoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I think they're both fun in their own right. FFX had a great battle system, and a fun story. My only real gripe with it is Tidus, funnily enough. I just didn't like him a whole lot as the lead character. FFX-2 takes FFX and adds tons of cheese and "grl power". It also has my favourite FF battle system. I guess your enjoyment of it would probably hinge on how much you can stand all the silly stuff.

JackFetch Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 FFX-2 is like FFX if the Spice Girls were the main characters. Seriously, the magic system is based on changing outfits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I played FFX for literally over 500 logged hours. No telling how much that total would be increased if the non-saved hours were added in there. I got every character to have every ability on the sphere grid. I loved that game.

Venneh Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 FFX is pretty solid; it was the videogame my parents got me with my PS2. Good battle system, overall decent characters (even if I didn't like the leads), and a great plot. FFX-2... the battle system's probably the fastest-paced in the series thus far, the newer characters are intriguing and the costumes are pretty. Otherwise? The returning characters all got a lobotomy, the plot is crap, and continuity is absolute bullshit (one character goes from sweet little kid to teenager in TWO YEARS).

Molly Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 How is everyone overlooking the awesomeness of Fry and Bender in a JRPG? How? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Because I didn't know that when I played it? Come to think of it, I still don't know which ones they played. Do tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Fry /Tidus: Billy West Bender/Wakka: John DiMaggio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 ...Wait. I thought Tidus was James Arnold Taylor. *Wikis* Actually, yeah, he is. ...And I didn't know that Bender was Wakka. Which makes that horrible accent slightly more bearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Well, I have finally made a mistake involving voice actors. I'll be committing ritual sepikuu now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I would've liked it to be Fry. Because JAT is good at making him one of my single most loathed characters in FF ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Taylor sounds like Billy West. And since West has been around longer, Taylor is clearly ripping him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 He sounds fucking annoying. Fry doesn't. West wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I loved FFX's story and visuals but hated how linear the maps were. That was a huge departure from earlier installments. It also has the single most awkward moment I've ever experienced in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Oh, the wonders of miserable voice acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I never got to finish FF-X. I got fairly deep and lost my save and have never gone back. I keep meaning to but never repurchase the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Might as well, Blane. You can find 'em used for like 10 bucks, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hell, you can buy it new for around $15. This is the best thing of having the PS2 with the new gen; all the games are so cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Eh I think I'll elect to hit up Left 4 Dead rather than drag myself through 8 hours of Yuna wining. Or whoever that summoner bitch was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightAngle04 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 FFX was really I thought a legendary game and a must have for any RPG fan out there. FFX2 not so much but if you can get it cheap then by all means, incredibly weak story though and some of the characters are so annoying you are gonna have to put mute on your tv.
