you can also change the animation settings on the dressphere changes same as you could the summoning animations from past FF's

hey dose any one know if theirs gonna be aeons (or summones or what ever else u wish to call them) in ff-x2 or just the costume change thing

Just the costume changes. No summons in this one.

I'm sorry mods, but I tried looking through the other FF X-2 thread but it is 4 pages of kids arguing with each other & only a very few posts actually about the game, so I had to start another thread. That other thread should really be closed.

Anyway, I'm not a big gamer but I'm a huge FF fan & haven't had a chance to play X-2 yet. So I'm cuirous as to what everyone's thoughts are on it. Please no ranting about what the best of the series is, what the best system is etc etc. I would just like to see your thoughts on FF X-2 or how it relates to the previous game.

Your new thread ... merged with the old thread. Enjoy.

Makes no sense to me, why you would keep a thread that is 3 pages of 2 guys fighting off-topic, rather than just delete that one, but your the mod.

I agree. out of the 88 post in this thread, about 4 are on topic. We should scrap this one and begin a new. IMO.

The reason I started the thread was to discusss FFX-2 but as you can see the majority of people that posted did not want to discuss FFX-2 but wanted to either say how much they hated FFX or what other games in the series were better.

Starting a new thread is pointless and stupid because you'll just end up with the same garbage. Deal with it. And your statement about 'kids arguing'? I'm not a kid. Adults don't have disagreements or arguments? What fantasy world do you live in?

So far I'm thoroughly enjoying FFX-2. I love the battle system and the whole 'dressphere' / job system. At first I thought the battle system was a little too fast for my liking so I slowed things up a bit in the config menu but now that I've gotten the commands down I've sped things back up. Random battles used to be a real drag...not anymore. I also like that the game is totally non-linear. You select which missions you want to go on and in which order. So, you could just do the missions that are part of the main story line or go somwhere else....it's all up to the player. I don't know how far I'm into the game, I've got almost 20 hours logged but I'm having more fun with this one than it's predecessor.

Sounds pretty cool. Do you know if this one is longer or shorter than FFX? Does their seem to be more or less videos?

I got to wait to I beat FFX before I can rent the game but I may gave the demo a go again I tryed it once for like 5 mins and hated it but I will spend more time with it and hope I change my mind.

I remember reading that this game can clock in at 80 hours I hope that is true. I like a long RPG for my money. I think I saw that 80 hour thing in the IGN review I'm not sure but I remember reading it.

Here is the part about how long you can take to beat it from IGN review.

Lasting Appeal
Five different endings, multiple story branches, an open-ended mission structure, 60-80 hours worth of gameplay, and the chance to go back and experience it again with New Game Plus makes it awesome.

A friend of mine whose opinions I usually share recently bought this game and told me it's a whole lot of fun so far. By next semester, if his opinion of it is the same or better, guess what I'm buying?

(True, I'd rather rent it first but I forsee difficulty managing that in the near future.)

Cool, I will have to pick this up once I get some extra cash.

I agree, I'll give another to the decision of merging these threads but I'm not the mod so oh well.

I'm interested in hearing about the length of this game too, its sounding pretty good.

If you play the game straight through without doing any of the optional missions you can complete the game in around 20 hours. If you play the game through and do all missions(storyline & optional) you could have upwards of 60+ hours to complete it.

If you were referring to me as being one of the "2 guys fighting off topic for 3 pages", I would have to point out that I posted 5 times in this thread (well, now 6), and the first was simply stating my opinion toward my purchase (or non-purchase as the case may be) of the game. I don't really think that would make 3 pages worth. But, either way, to help your cause, I post this, another off topic post, to expedite the starting of a new thread, and as a bonus, I will not return, thus not seeing the coming insults and letting whomever desires to have the last word .

Closing thread for length. Normally 4 pages isn't too long, but in this thread is long on arguing and short on substance. Hope the next thread yields better results. Next thread can be found here:
