All you have to say is you didn't like it instead of stating something that isn't true.

Originally posted by Gromit I'll probably never get around to it, but I need to check out the earlier FF games. FFX is the only one I've played. I really liked it though. The combat in FFX-2's demo was freaking me out. :) Slow down! I wanna think about it! |
Originally posted by Setzer If you had read my post you would have found out that Square has gone away from a linear storyline for FFX-2. The game is mission based and totally non-linear. The battle system has been given an overhaul, the ATB combat system, which was used in all FF games up through FFIX, is back but now the action is real-time. Gone is the sphere grid, which I thought was a unique approach to advancing your characters, and back is the leveling system of old, which I'm happy about. Oh, and no blitzball mini game. So, from it sounds like, everything you disliked about FFX will not be in FFX-2. The last few FF games have been very hit or miss for me, and haven't engrossed me since VII. Regardless of their going back to their "old ways", I'll still be waiting until this hits $15, just as I stated in my previous post (jab). |
I did read your post and don't appreciate you stating what you did in your first line here. People do it (make a statement declaring that the person is either a moron for not "getting" what you wrote, or a "skim replier") all the time on these boards, and it's a bugger. The linear changes, completely non-engrossing story, blitzball, and sphere system really just made me dislike the game. I'll probably get it when it's $15, though. |
Gamespot Review
Score 8.1 Last Paragraph Gamers have long clamored for Square to continue the storyline of one of its Final Fantasy games, and with good reason. After spending a good 50 hours with a group of characters embroiled in one life-or-death situation after another, you can't help wanting more. Now the concept of a direct sequel has been put into practice, and the result is Final Fantasy X-2: a slightly uneven but still engaging game that's worthy of the revered name. The story's almost-total reliance on a familiarity with Final Fantasy X may limit its audience to those who enjoyed that game, but then, if you're into RPGs and own a PlayStation 2, odds are you've finished FFX at least once already. At its best, FFX-2 is every bit as poignant, endearing, and engrossing as its forebears, and it's this similarity to stronger games in the series that ultimately makes X-2's minor flaws forgivable.

For those of you that feel the combat system in FFX-2 is too fast paced for your liking, I caught this while reading the Gamespot review:
The game's battles flow at an extremely quick rate, almost so quick that it can be hard to keep track of everything (though config options allow you to slow things down to suit your tastes). |

Originally posted by cartman You follow up what I took as an offensive (though slightly) reply with another one? Perhaps a few hits of the "enter" key would have made my post a bit clearer, but the name calling was still unnecessary. Maybe I'm not fully understanding you. Are you implying that no matter what changes they made to FFX-2 from FFX you still won't play it because of the things you hated about FFX or are you implying you're not going to play FFX-2 because you don't want to play a game that has the same features as its predecessor? |
I must admit, even as a huge FF fan, I've been out of the news lately. I saw that they are releasing a FF7 CG movie. That's interesting, but I wonder why they could not make it into a video game? Not enough of a story? It'll be weird watching it...
FFx-2 looks promising after reading that review. I'll definitely be picking it up. As for the previous FFs, I thoroughly enjoyed FFX, although I was turned off a bit by the lack of a personality in Yuna. Somehow, I got into Blitzball quite a bit. It was kind of fun winning like 15-0 everytime. :lol: I loved FFVII and FFIX. VIII was so visually stunning that I have a higher opinion than most of you, despite the annoyingness of that Draw system. I love the CG movies, they add so much to the experience IMO. Anyway...I can't wait for the release of FFX-2. Amazon has the release date as being Friday, but has anyone found one yet? |
The game should be available in most places by Wednesday. I found out that if you had pre-ordered and paid for the game in full at Gamestop you can pick up your copy tomorrow. Well, at least thats the case for my local Gamestop in Olympia, WA. EB told me that they will have their copies in on Wednesday so I believe thats when a majority of the major retailers should have it.

Check it out. You can see what outfits the girls will be wearing by dragging the icon on them. I liked the Black Mage outfits the best but I got a feeling everyone going to be playing with the Thief outfits. Can you say thongs baby! :)

Originally posted by Setzer Well I don't know what I need to do to make my posts any more clearer to you because you still don't get it. You took my reply to you as some sort of insult to your intelligence, which it wasn't. From your post I gathered that you did not read or fully read my post and I was letting you know the features you disliked about FFX were not going to be in FFX-2. Thought you would be happy to hear that. Originally posted by Setzer Maybe I'm not fully understanding you. Are you implying that no matter what changes they made to FFX-2 from FFX you still won't play it because of the things you hated about FFX or are you implying you're not going to play FFX-2 because you don't want to play a game that has the same features as its predecessor? *cartman goes to store his horse beating mallet* |
Your posts don't need to be clearer, just free of name calling. Ok then. Then don't act like one. You assumed that I insulted your intelligence, this was not the case. It's over and done with. I apologize for calling you an 'ass' but that's how your reply came off as. |
Originally posted by Setzer Then don't act like one. I apologize for calling you an 'ass' but that's how your reply came off as. |
Well I'll gave it a rent and see if I play better with shit slowed down. Also why people jumping on superboy I liked FFX but had no porb with what he said yet some seemed to take it personal. I knew it was his option and what he said is fact to him the game is shit. I got no idea why some people seem to piss and moan when someone talks about a game. Hell I like FFX but everything he said is true. The story has been seen 900 times before not much was new you had to fight to gain levels to move on the sphere grid so it's the same as just leveling up.

Cartman, Setzer... uh.. let it go already. Or take it to private msgs. You're bringing us down, man! :) :)

I think I speak for just about everybody here when I say both of you are acting like a bunch of two year olds. Get over it and lets talk about what this thread is really about. The mods should really put an end to this sort of behavior by suspending people for constaint fighting. THEY'RE GAMES PEOPLE!!!! Who really cares what someone said.
And as far as MY post, I'm glad I pissed you off. It makes up for the bad mood you both put me in having to read all your crap above when all I really what to know is what this thread is supposed to be about, FFX-2. |
In regards to FFX-2 I'll take a pass if I want to watch scantily clad women all I have to do is just pop in the Charlie's Angels movie in my dvd player and besides the original FFX ending was good enough for me. Yuna should have gotten over the loss of Tidus and just moved on.

Or maybe I'll try something else. I'm definitely into RPG's right now though. |
