Topic: Final Fantasy X & X2

So I played through Final Fantasy X a few times now, and i can't help but think. Is Final Fantasy X2 just as good?? The game concept is pretty much the same, as well as the story line, but a new topic has been added. Instead of using items to upgrade your characters, you change outfits.

Weapon styles have also changed slightly, hence Yuna uses guns. Has anyone seen some decent movie trailors, or even played demo versions of this game? If you have, how is it, does it make a large difference in Final Fantasy X or just a minimal change not worth any time?

Shadow is nothing but a distortion of light in which an object blocks its path.

If this is true, then why do we fear it?

I saw a video once and it looked great! The voice acting actually got better, and it looks like they added some humor into the game. It's kinda the style of the original Final Fantasy games, only new! I'm going to buy it.

Someone posted some screenshots a while back and the graphics looked even better than the original. I heard somewhere else that they were able to get all of the original voice actors back which is awesome since they all did a great job (in my opinion).

Hopefully the game will have a good storyline and a better ending than the original. The ending was the only thing I didn't like in the original. Big dissapointment for me.

There's a King on a throne with his eyes torn out.
There's a Blind Man looking for a shadow of doubt.
There's a Rich Man sleeping on a golden bed.
There's a Skeleton choking on a crust of bread.

Did you watch after the credits mr. crab, I thought the complete ending was one of the best in the FF lineage, up there with all of 7's ending (gotta love Red XIII looking at the ruins of Midgard with his pups, showing how nature in the end dominated the high technology that threatened it)

I didn't like the fact that the main character was revealed to be "not real" at the end of the game. The ending movie and all other movies in the game were awesome. I just had one minor storyline gripe.

My impressions from E3:

It looked FAR better than the original. The graphics were much crisper, monsters were bigger and more detailed. Spell effects looked a bit better too.

Voice acting was better, too. Less characters, sure (You only have Rikku, Yuna, and Paine), but they are much more flexible now also.

I'm definitely picking it up.

I won't spoil things (Or try not to, unless someone asks) but FFX-2 is much, much better - and FFX was my favorite Final Fantasy since FF6.

Most people don't like how Yuna is a gunner now, but you have to remember that she does have an Al-Bhed heritage, so machina (the guns) come natural to her. It makes sense, but not at first glance. The dress/job class system is much more interesting then the sphere grid, in my opinion, and Yuna as a Blackmage = Very cute.

Although I couldn't understand the storyline completely due as I only speak limited Japanese, it did fill most if not all the holes in the storyline and it explains some things that weren't explained in FFX, and the endings (There's 3 - depending on what/how you do during some key moments, save often!) didn't disappoint me like the first one, I think they were a little short - but they leave you feeling really good at the end.

Unlike FFX, it is not very linear at all, it has a "mission" system that you can do most any order you want, although you do have to do most all of it eventually.

That's all I can really thing of that's worth mentioning, if I can think of anything else I'll add it..

Well, to the best of my knowledge, FFX-2 is Yuna's search for Tidus. Therefore, it'd have been hard to have made the game if FFX hadn't ended the way it had.

That is correct, it is the search for Tidus. It begins almost directly after the "Final Fantasy X - Another Story" video that was released in Japan awhile ago which you can probally download off Kazaa and the like.

Ooh yea, I would have to agree with the part on Tidus being a dream. Though dissappointing to have it end on a sadder note, i still think it added a great ammount of detail to the story, making FFX my favorite of the Final Fantasy series. The amazing cut-scenes were very impressive, and even the vioce acting was done very well, considering the poor dubbing in most other games.
