its a little too easy |
| mike m. from N.J. USA says (21/Dec/2003): |
I like the game alot although I think its way too easy and a bit girlish. The graphics are terrific and way better than ff10. I dont like the fact that the sphere grid is`nt in the game and that the game is very short.Square could have done much better in making a sequel to one of the best final fantasy games ever made.I dont like the new dresssphere system very much but I do like the battle system alot.Yuna`s songs are cool and the missions are fun.The only dressspheres worth using are white mage,dark mage,and warrior.I think the only dresssphere that really sucks is the songstress which is really confusing.I dont think people will like fighting the aeons again or the fact that their evil.Most of the game is basically about Yuna,Rikku,Paine,and the Gullwings trying to destroy Vegnagun and bring peace to Spira,not to mention seeing three hot girls in sexy outfits.So the only bad things in the game are the difficulty level,the dresssphere system,and that its too short.So buy this game only if your a dedicated final fantasy gamer like me.

Egghh?! Waghhh?!?! Scantily clad women and RPGs don't mix... |
| A gamer from Little Elm, TX says (7/Apr/2006): |
I'm a bit confuzilated right now. This is a...pretty entertaining game. I've played the others but...this is so different. At first I was all like "I hope this doesn't suck." and after playing it for about 122 hours "that is a lot of time for me" I began to realize that this game simply ROCKED! But...man...it's also stupid, simply because you don't get any cool characters to use in your party and it's so short if you don't do any sidequests "which is almost impossible to do". This has to be number 1 on my MOST CONFUSING GAME EVER list "Silent Hill came in at a close second, with Animal Crossing at third". If you like Final Fantasy X and think this sequel will be anything like it, you're sadly mistaken. But if you're looking for a new and innovative RPG then you've come to the right place. Also, did I mention the scantily clad women?!?! WOW! I mean, it's crazy! It's like they decided to make some kind of Charlie's Angels with anime girls! As a matter of fact, I think they were doing CA poses at the beginning of the game. Weirdos.

The game delves into new things to improve and keeps some of the old. |
| A gamer from Mesa,Az USA says (5/Jan/2004): |
This is an awesome game even though this is the first FF where you can't switch characters and the dresspheres are a little complicated. The people who think the songstress sucks should get the book of magical dances. It allows you to be immune to magical attacks or the other one allows you to cast anything for ZERO MP. while just beating the game is easy the sidequests like 101 cloister is EXTREMELY HARD but if you get the cat's nip accessory it allows you to do 9999 damage wiht each hit so use a gunner trigger happy level 3 or 4/dice wiht lady luck. The coolest looking dressphere is Paine's dark knight and the best dresspheres are the mascots. Also Rikku's special sphere sucks compared to the other two. What confuses me is that Yuna knew Holy and Flare and Ultima and all her stats were way high in FF 10 but all of a sudden she can't cast those spells and her stats are all the way back to beginner. For people who try to understand why you fight aeons. Complete more missions and pay more attention to the storyline idiots.

It could have been better |
| yomama from Shakopee ,MN ,USA says (9/Jan/2004): |
I'm a big fan of Final Fantacy games. I loved FF X, it was much better than this one. This game is what it is, and Paine says it all the time, it's hard to miss quote one quote "this is too easy". This was the worst 50bucks I ever spent, I should have bought charlie's angels DVD instead, would have been much cheaper. I'll give them the thumbs up for good graphics, thumbs down for weapons, length of game, too easy. I mean the whole game all I did was press "attack". I didnt even have to think to use magic or not because....it's like I could have won this with my eyes closed. They had all this time to make the sequel better...it's like watching T-3 or charlie's angels, it can't get any worse. This game should have been no more than $30. I hope the next one isnt as pathetic as FFX-2. I had no fun playing this, I just finished it for the sake of my 50 bucks, to find the ending was crap. I think they were trying to make this game for girls, girls dont play games, guys play games, what were they thinking?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think its great! |
| knighty from england says (23/Feb/2004): |
I just read the review from Lisa! Im male and I didnt think that it was aimed at a female audience! Yeh i feel that it is completely different from other final fantasy games but the difference is what makes it unique and special and keeps me playing! Dressspheres were an idea to rival the sphere gird and the garment grids too! The characters maybe female but replace them with male characters which act the same i feel square would have acheived the same effect except the fact that woman express their feelings more and females like Rikku make it all worth while! And u got to admitt- their pretty good looking for virtual characters! Rikku is a class character and so are Yuna and Paine! And there ARE male characters too! Theres the other gullwings like buddy and brother and Shinra and then you also get nooj and the othjer leaders! The only other main female character other than yuna, paine and rikku are lulu and leblanc! and id jus like to take this moment to say this game is pure genius to even rival me!!! its grrrrrrrrrrr8

what a good battle system and a great game |
| craig saunders from newport, south wales says (9/Mar/2004): |
to sum it up this game is the best final fantasy i have played.
the battle system rocks, it flows with style. i like the way they set out the game to go through as stages and one full on story. the soundtrack is also good, after the other world from ffx they had to beat it and they did with a great song sang by yuna herself(real emotion). it also strayed away from older story lines.The faces are the same, but the clothes aren't. That's right. This is a Final Fantasy where the characters actually change clothes. Yuna is no longer who she was in X and is now a lot more of a free spirit, though she yearns for her love she still remains in high spirits in hopes of finding him. Rikku is just as energetic as before, but dresses A LOT less than before. A new character to the roster is Paine. There isn't much to say about Paine, but she completes the group of adventure-going misfits.
Over all I think the direction SquareEnix decided to go with this game is great since it improved upon X's and added new things.

Final fantasy 10 was better... |
| Jonathan from Whitehall,Pennsylvania,USA says (12/Dec/2004): |
I dont like it better than final fantasy 10 because u only get to play as 3 different people.And would someone please tell me why the hell would u look for someone that is dead.I liked it though but i quit on it before i got to the end i was at the final boss and it got boring.I love that u can change dresspheres my favoite r black knight and the sameri.I love the enemies and the moscot dresspheres rock 2. But in ff10 i loved the music when u had 2 fight tidus,s dad as an aon.Also i didnt like this cause there were no aons and i loved them they were the best my favorite is anima and the mangus sisters.I liked it tho because tidus isnt in it if u read my ff10 review u would know y.I hate that auron isnt in it he was my favorite i kicked ass with him!!I liked the trigger happy tho i had 100 percent with yunas guns rikkers thief and pains knight.i also had 100 percent wit everybodys b;ack knight since it was my favorite.Overall i liked this but not better than ff10 and besides kingdom hearts is still my favorite!

A perfect and challenging game (can't believe some of you....) |
| Shadow Mog from Maine, USA says (1/Feb/2004): |
This is the peerfect game for anyone. So many side quests and the mission setup is splendid. Definatley the most challenging of the ff series. Trema (999999hp, 255str, def, mag def, etc...) proves to be the most challenging foe to graze the worlds of fantasy. For those of you who say its easy, I think you're denying the fact that it is extremely difficult. The garment grids rock, give you special bonuses, along with the accessories and friggin awesome dresspheres. The exp system is back, which is the greatest thing ever! Extremely humorous game with a lot of life from the characters. Yuna and Rikku have changed for the better, I might add. They aren't the boring crap faces from X but they are actually living beings now! Whoever plays tyhis game is in for a great surprise. worth the price and maybe even an extra $10! YOu'll love it if you're right in the head... Stunning graphics. (best i've seen) and awesome chain attacks. Other people actually get to move while one is attacking. Realistic!

not the greatest but still great |
| Ben from GB from usa says (27/Dec/2003): |
Half you people are idiots! most (not all and youl know if im talking about you) of you people like the person who thought yuna would still be a summener LOL! need to get you facts streight! the game isnt about going from point A to point B like ffx was its about playing as much as you want and solving as many mysteries as you can. and if you beet the first 3 chapters in an hour (not possibal maybe 2 hours would be enough time) then your ganna get a crappy ending and i laugh at you HA! now for all you cool people who posted just ignore my disses and e-mail me if you need any help or anything! so peace out to you all.
PS:for the guy who said ff games are all about saving up money and buying good weapons YOUR THE WORST PERSON HERE! ff7 weapons all sucked until the final one witch you cant buy,ff8 HARDLY had a weapon system,ffx was about colecting rare items to make your own ultimat weapon, and the early ff games were really easy and you could ge tthrough most the game with the 1st weapon.

FFX-2 one of the coolest games ive played |
| A gamer from Bowie, USA says (13/Dec/2003): |
FFX-2 is an awsome game. They got three girls wearing almost nothing, and lots of stuff happining every minute. Its a very challenging game. Like in Belvle, if you talk to the wrong person, you might screw up the story line. I got the Stratigy Guide so i pretty much no whats gonna happen. I dont wanna tell you all a whole lot but i no you all are dieing to no what happenes. Theres this HUGE Micina in the Far Planes, but you dont see him untill the 5th chapter. The only thing that suxs is that you gotta fight all your aeons again, But ah, you get cool movies that have awsome graphics. Lulu and wakka got a baby, which is kinda cool, i bet Chappu is like getting all pissed at his older brother because of that. lol but any way. Tidus is locked up in the Far Planes, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine (new character) go around collecting Spheres, the dresses are awsome, personally i love the Dark Knight clothes.
Over all its a tight game, play it, love it, and then you can start all over ;)
|
its great!!! |
| Rikku from newcastle-england says (23/Oct/2004): |
FFx-2 has to be 3rd best of all FF's i havent cloked it yet,which is a shame cause i cant wait to see the perfect ending.I really enjoy this game its gota great story to it,i got up to chapter 4 then i started a new game and saved it over the file that i was upto chapter 4 on!well i'm on chapter 2 facing the aeons.I'm giving to much away,the missions are the best they are really fun such as infriltate bevelle and chase that chocobo!This is truly a great game!It really follows of from the game and u get to meet...some old gaurdians but i aint gonna say who!*evil grin*My friend dosent really like it she can stand the battle system which is quite confusing but it gets easier!I heard that u get to see a good old friend near the end!(he descended to the farplane before tidus)thats all i know!I loved this game its really intresting,it starts thousands of trails which all link up in the end!it makes it so u and Yuna have to work the mystery out to gether its a great experince!

The Best Game Ever!!!!!!!! |
| Brittany from St. Louis, MO, USA says (27/Jun/2004): |
OK I was playin' FFX not too long ago and I cried at the end! no seriously I did! (I'm a chick, not a guy!) So I Thought "Hey, FFX was Awsome so why not try FFX-2" I tried it and it was cool.
But at the end i didn't 100%, Which really sucks! So anyway, if your a fan for ff , you will just love this game! (between you and me I thought Tidus and Gippal were so cute!)some of the things I disliked 'bout this game were, 1.)The story thing was way too short (I'm mean I beat it 23 hours!) 2.)you don't drive any cars (in FF8 I would drive that weird car.) 3.)They should have made the ending better (DUH!) 4.)When I first started the game I didn't know what the heck i was doing. (I died when I fought the FIRST battle. U know with Yuna/Lublanc) 5.) what i realized is that paine is such a butt-hole! (she hardly ever talks.) But my fave pary of the game was when shuyan and Lenne got together. It was so coool. Anyway again if you like ff then you should get this Final Fantasy Game

One of the most wonderful FF's in a long time |
| Blackpaw from Union, MO says (19/Mar/2004): |
Final Fantays x-2 was a perfect game in many ways, the revamping of the Dress System introduced in FF3 was done masterfully, and I love the ability to change in battle .
The Graphivcs and gameplay are all top notch, and the voice acting has much improved over FF-X. I've heard it said that this game has hardly any storyline at all, but I disagree. I find the story rather intriguing and very funny at times. The antics of LeBlanc and the Gullwings left me laughing. This isn't FF-VI but It's a wonderful game in and of itself. If there was one thing I'd change, I would place a way to rotate the camera angle on the world view, it's kind of annoying trying to find somethign behind a tree in Macalina woods or something... but toehrwise Wonderful Game, can't wait for FF-XII to come and see what wonders they have for that one! :)

Wow....*Spolier for any that didn't play past the first chapter...* |
| Christian from Philadelphia,PA,USA says (2/Dec/2003): |
I've had FFX-2 since November 25th and all I have to say is wow.I mean all the dress spheres and garment grids and all of the bosses make the game exciting.My favorite dress sphere is Dark Knight. The graphics is the movies are awesome.The only thing I don't like is the Gullwings.I mean if it was just Paine,Rikku and Yuna alone like in FFX.Tidus,Wakka,LuLu,Kimarhi,Yuna,Rikku and Auron didn't have a special name.All except Yuna being the "High Summoner".Overall,FFX-2 is one of my fravorite games.The aeons.......I wasn't expecting them.When Bahamut appeared...it shocked me.Then Valefor and then Ifrit....I think the hardest one that I got up to so far is Yojimbo.There is still the Magus Sisters and Anima(Oh joy..) to get into.I had problems with Ifrit and Yojimbo but they were quite easy when I got Grenades,Artic Winds,Elctro Marbles and Fish Scales.I usualy have Yuna do Assualt in battle to have haste......Overall I definatly recommend FFX-2 for anybody.

100% is impossible |
| ZPac from hayward,ca,usa says (22/Feb/2004): |
First of all id like to say that the previous FF's are much better and this new guy sucks ass at what he does, i mean have you seen ff11. Second of all the retard who wrote the frikin guide is an absolute idiot. How the hell am i goin to get 100% is you tell me what to do after the fact, its not like i can go back in time and redo what should have been done in the first place and not after. I really am frickin mad right now cause i have to go back and play this damn game over again just to attemot and get 100%. I mean wtf the walkthrough is supposed to be a walkthrough and not an oops you were supposed to do that but we decided not till tell you until it was too late.....I am really irritated and i hope to god that these morons dont mess up ff7 when the new ff7 advent children comes ouy. ff7 has always been my favorite and i swear if they reduce it to the level of ffx-2 like they did ffx-2 id have to make my own ff's from now on. JEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

cute, great, but short |
| A gamer says (23/Dec/2003): |
final fantasy 10-2 is a great sequel to the original,but its way 2 short. I expected it 2 be as long as ten it only took me 5 days to beat x-2 at least the original took me 2 weeks to beat. the graphics were great stupid ending but the way yuna sounds towards the end it sounded like there is a sequel coming into the works .It bugged me they took away shiva's temple away from her and it sucked that you couldnt go to were the magus sisters were otherwise the game is great and refreshing .Wll let me score this all up the story was great so i give it a 10 for that, the sound it should have changed from time to time but i still give it a 9 for that ,the game play was great but it was way to easy i would have liked to have seen harder bosses , for originality i give it an 11 which helps bring its average up to a 10 , fun factor i give it a 10, and last but not least value 50 dollars was a little much but its more worth it than alot of other games.

this game is as poonish as it gets |
| Greg from Nevada,Las Vegas, USA says (8/May/2004): |
The final fantasy 10-2 was probobly one of the worst final fantasy games ever made. Aside from #4&5 this game blew time twenty two! They shouldn't have ever made a Charlies Angels chick flick game. Espesialy for a final fantasy game. What they really need to do is make another game like final fantasy 7. that was the funnest game i have ever played in my life. And ff8 had the very best story line of all. Anyways, the whole dress-up thing is really kindergrden. So what i'm saying is they should never have made a sequal to ff10. Another thing is any final fantasy where you dont get limit breaks or get to buy weapons is a poor game to play. And whats with no sphere grid. the thing in ten-two that gets me the most is all the fun parts of final fantasy ten are all tourist atractions in ten-two. Plus this is the only final fantasy game i have ever played (exept #1) without summunings. Whats with that? That is all i have to say about that.

absolute best? |
| lesley james from Hammond Indiana USA says (23/Dec/2003): |
hey everyone call me crazy it was one of the ggotc(greatest games of the century) but look its like why cnat they just give me a better more tidussy ending unless of course your mr or misses game genius and get 100% easily ugh so hard so like its really hard but so so many secrets like where you meet shuyin in the far plane and you continuessly press o youll unlock an extra secret everso juicy tidus scene hehehehehe!!!!!!!!!! So lets see this game is everso juict its self with the Yuna on the brink of coookooooness herself poor tidus feell bad. wa wa and then i have a question like why do they lead you on to believe there be a tidus when the only way to complete the game would be to get a peer feect ending ogh so harsh and cn any one shoot me an email and tell me whats behind the door you have to use all those crimson spheres? ummm.. one more thing is trhe perfect ending great cause im trying but im not there yet!!!!!!!

| Matt from New York says (22/Feb/2004): |
Well, in my opinion this is a reeally great game. I really think that most of the other reviews are based mostly on other peoples opinions(no offence). I have 2 brothers, Steve and Jason. All of us like this game. We think its a great game. Even though we all like it we all stated our opinions. I think that the game was really easy. Some of my friends are saying "Yo Matt, why do u like that game? its an exact copy of Kingdom Hearts". They say oh they copied tidus from this and wakka from that, they copied the battle sys. Well, its not copied if anyone copied it was Kindom Hearts. That kind of battle sys was from ff8(the crappiest FF ive ever played) and ff7(good game but bad graphics(Psst, its old). well anyway i gave this a 9 instead of 10 becuase, 1. its 2 ez 2. they should have more characters and 3.it has a ez battle sys, that meaning u could practicly kill anything with a few potions and ur basic att.
