Ok now i hav played FFX-2, it was a "ok" game, but i dont think that it was a necessary game becuz, i dont think it was that much of a sequel to FFX becuz i dont think the story had anything to do with FFX's, i mean they were talkin about these 2 lovers shuyin and lenne who died while in luv a long time ago, than shuyin comes bak as a dream or somthing than, well u know the story right? Im jus sayin, well X-2 did had some similarities to FFX, but only some characters and the locals, so was X-2 a really necessary game? I dont think so becuz the story had nothing to do with FFX, but i know that a sequel has to differ from its originator, but they had yuna so im thinkin shouldnt there be alot more input on the loss of tidus?

Imo, X-2 should be the same as X, one game, no sequel.
X-2 is a game that consists of side quests all teh time, no fun, no story and it had more flaws.
Good battle system and some funny humor, but the only thing that kept me playing was the perfect ending, nothing else..

Well i never tried to get a perfect ending becuz i only played it once, then i traded it in for more credit on my EB games card, i cant even remember wat ending i got, im jus mad that square made such a bad sequel, n it wasnt as humorous to me as it was to u Dark Pesmerga

well it is funny on some why,but it can be disturbing too.i think it was necessery,cause it bring a average plot,great fighting system,cool bosses even though they could make vegnagun look better if they only put normal body,the game was full of cool cg animations(lesser than x but stiill enough).i belive the perfect ending and a question:what happend to tidus?held us all to buy and finish this game

Uhm, what O_o ? The story is a direct continuation of the previous one: life in Spira after Sin's death. Yuna mentions Tidus every 5 minutes or so, and you also get to see what all the other characters from FFX are doing now. But actually I don't think it was really necesarry, no. I thought the conclusion in FFX was just fine: no happy ending for a change, Tidus to the Farplane and Yuna living a quiet ex-Summoner life.

For me, the story would have been better if it ended with Yuna's speech in FFX, and then just have it end there completely (no teaser scene with Tidus waking up under water and swimming up to the surface). If there's one thing I really don't like, then it's killing off a main character and then bringing him/her back again. But I guess FFX-2's Perfect Ending was fair enough, a classic happy ending (I know some people think the ending wasn't clear enough, but I just assume Tidus is staying for good this time. Making him disappear again would just be lame ^^ ).

Yes, X-2 shoudn't be made at all, I do had my moments with X-2, but that where tiny fragments, of the whole game.
Indeed the perfect ending was nice and all, but that was maybe the only thing that really interested me.
Missions all the time, and some of them where just as stupid as hell, I don't get it why so many people like this game, but I think this has to do with Girl Power/Charlie's Angels or Tidus/Yuna/Rikku/Paine....

FFX-2 ...though it had many flaws but it's the continued version of FFX and I think many fans would want to see how the story ends ^^;; LoL~ I believe the most of us want to know the juicey romance side of the game, but I guess we won't be getting much details like from an anime xD Kinda disappointed by the ending though, was expecting a better one ^^;; However, I just play it for the sake of the story,endings and such, never did replay it.

x-2 was necesarry for those who were sad and wouldn't accept the end of x and tidus's death.there were a lot of people who enjoyed the perfect ending even though the game wasnt that much especialy when you compare it to ffx.actualy,when the scene with tidus accure(swiming out of water)everybody new that the sequel will be made.

First off, I just wanna note that I have hardly played this game (like, the first chapter or so). However, from what I played, I really despised it quite a bit. I think Square went a bit out of their way with this, especially with how drastically they changed Yuna and her personality. The battle system was spiffy and all, but from what I played, the game otherwise was just rather lame. Fun... but lame. I'm actually quite frustrated that they made something like this, rather than a prequel (which I personally think would've been an awesome idea). As far as the story goes, I can't say much, though, since I hardly played anything. From what I've heard, though, it sounds pretty crappy.

FFX-2 wasn't a great game, in my opinion. Too much girl power. To me, it was just another video game. I think that the end of FFX gave enough closure to the story. It was not absolutely neccesary to carry it over into X-2, although it was an interesting idea.

We know Tidus came back in FFX. (if you watched it after the credits till it said "The End") The only reason I think this game is even considered nessary is because it kinda explains how Tidus came back but otherwise, no it's not nessary, it seems to me some crap Square put together to make some more money off of FFX.

i know.I as a hardcore ffx fan should also be angry for what they did but on some level i am not,maybe cause i wanted finaly a ff sequel,maybe cause i wanted to expirience spira again,maybe cause i was just hungry for some rpg and i didnt what it turned out to be...but definetly a prequel with young auron,braska and jecht fighting sin and jecht sacrifacing himself so braska can summon i final aeon would be just FANTASTIC!

X-2 Is brilliant and was necessary to have after x because it explained the story after x plus it added so much more in combat and strategy.
is was well worthwhile.

it could have been much better if we could have played wuth nooj,gippal and barlai,i think that game suffers the most in lack of playable characters,and reapereance of aeons wasn't that much explained

I think the game was necessary. Especially after the small clip of Tidus @ the end of ffx. also, on an internet site i went to i found out about a movie that was with some games that was a sort of bridge to ffx2 (when rikku showed her the sphere that kimahri found & Yuna decided 2 leave). I think the games were called ffx international (the movie was on a dvd). ive nvr actuaLly seen it but ive read the script. I thought the game was interesting & was curius what would happen in the end. Though that mightve been obvius cuz why would you have 2 go throo those 5 chapters &not end up finding him. And she did seem to act a lot differen than she did in the first game......but mayB ,like Lulu said, no one was there to stop her from spreading her wings. Her hair must have grown outragiously long for her to get that tail. Right now, I'm playing it again bcuz ive nevr gotten a perfect ending and, like i said, im curius.

I think a sad ending was way better, cause I really felt bad for Yuna, I mean the ending in FF X was beautiful, really it was a very nice ending and maybe one of the best there is. But thanks to X-2 the meaning of the ending in X is gone. X-2 is a happy go round game, which the main purpose was to get the perfect ending, to have that happy Tidus/Yuna ending, cause imo that was important...screw the whole war thing and Vegnagun, it didn't made any sense at all....

for me it dosen't matter...I just wanted to see the world of spira once again,play it...I wanted to play ffxagain...i wante a sequel even with a cost of screwing the perfect ending in ever(x)

i didnt have a problem with ffx-2: maybe because if i complain, they'll just stop making final fantasy games and then what? at least i have somthing to play, so i dont mind. i knew when tidus came up from the water in X that they would have a sequel. i just didnt get why the ending of X was the beginning of the ending in X-2, very weird. but i was reading on the internet yesterday about talk of an X-3 and how it will be rikkus story. "now that is going to far" it leaves a question whe will it stop? then lulu's story and then wakkas and the kimahris. it would just go on and on and on ,but id still play it."

X-3....nah...they wouldn't make that game.
X-2 was just a thing to test, they would still make games even if they got flamed by 90% of the fans, I think they did though, so you didn't had to worry about that.
But what a beautiful ending it was when you didn't saw Tidus waking up in the water

i think it could have easily been one of the best if not the best ending ever in any rpg,at least to me

Wel I personaly really liked FF-x2. But it really wasn't neccecary. I mean sure it showed some cool thing about the aftermath of the battle of Sin, and even gave Yuna a Happy ending if you worked hard enough, but I don't think that it was really needed, plus it kinda ruined the extremely emotional ending of FF-x

yes, that is what I was thinking, the ending rocked. But at the end you see Tidus swimming again....I thought dammit, there goes that beautiful ending.

A friend of mine came over and I showed him the ending, he was like wow, I hate FF X, but at that part Tidus is really cool, he really liked the ending. But then he saw him swimming up again....yup, there goes the emotion, the ending was worthless now.

i wouldn't say its wortless,i was glad to see tidus was ok.i knew he wasn't dead,i tought that he probably returned to his own time or something and I was interested in what happend to him.now that kinda ending would be good to.

I don't think final fantasy x-2 was necessary. The ending in ten was good enough and they should of kept it that way. Perhaps if Square-Enix put more thought into the sequel and had a better story and better way for him to come back instead of just appearing out of no where then maybe x-2 would be necessary. But I rather just accept the ending of ten.

I think that it was necessary, after all It was fun too play
all the sidequests and missions, colect dresspheres and
fight with special dresspheres..

Must admit the idea of it filled me with dread. Untill I played it.
Great fun, it took an interesting gameplay direction & liked the carefree atmosphere

Yeah, I don't think X-2 was necessary, but it was fun and I also liked the more carefree atmosphere. I also think that, although there was hardly an entire new story, there were little things, like the fact that Vegnagun was going to be used to destroy Sin, were interesting and helped make FFX's entire story even richer - but only slightly. I think this was good though and prefer the fact that X-2 was just like a little sidestory rather than an entirely new one, because I think if they'd made another hugely serious and deep storyline, it would probably have made the whole X/X-2 thing way too overdone.

i agree with most of the people that final fantasy X-2 wasn't exactly a "nessesary" game although it was quite fun. one draw back to this game is that the time it takes to develope all the shere that the girls have. you have to train one for one person then train another persons and it just takes forever. Another drawback is all the story parts to get the 100% completion has some parts that are completely annoying. Like the monkey one at Zanerkand. That took a long time and didnt really give you much. Some take the whole story and if you dont remeber to do that one part of the story you lose a few percents and then you dont get a chance till you finish the game or start it over again(yeah right...). Although when it got back to the levels it felt alot different then final fantasy X(both had some parts that were the same though). Overall final fantasy 10-2 was a really carefree game.
