I still can't get over the fact that they made Summoner Yuna into a pop singer.

Like, with all the different directions they could've gone, that's the one they went with.

WHY IS SHE A POP SINGER. WHY.

It would ruin the first five minutes of the game to answer this question, so I won't.

just finished the game myself tonight. fantastic ending but I'm in no hurry to replay it, it starts too slow and doesn't really let you do much until the end. the games enemies also seem to abuse status effects way more than the earlier FF games which means you need to carry a ton of different armors and trial and error your way through long boss battles that have unskippable cutscenes before them or use a guide -_- literally had my party ambushed and OHKOd before I got a turn because I wasn't wearing the right armor numerous times, then you take away whatever gimmick that particular enemy has and they no longer pose any threat, very unbalanced design

the one thing I do have to say that was amazing from beginning to end though was spira itself, it is by far the best world that square has created in my mind. only bad thing is that they don't really let you explore it until the end and even then you don't get a real sense of travel, your airship is just a list of locations

There aren't many enemies actually capable of doing this, and the ones who are also do the same thing in other games (Hello Malboros)

Paine was all right. I enjoyed how snarky she was, and I appreciate her when I realize how out of hand this game would've gotten if she didn't exist.

me and swift were talking about FFX's ending earlier and this is pretty much what I came away with

FFX-2 was doomed from the start because any spinoff of FFX should have been about jecht's quest

Honestly, the basic premise of FFX-2 was pretty good, I thought (Guy who looks like Tidus, trying to find out who it is), but all the bubble gum pop stuff ruined it.

I liked the Shuyin/Lenne backstory, really.

The only really bad cutscenes are inside the airship. X-2 has great gameplay and great music, so to me those were just a minor nuisance. I think it's worth playing.

Malboros in Omega Ruins are the worst. Thankfully there is First Strike on Auron's weapon. Saved my ass so many times.

EDIT: FFX-2 has plenty of awful cutscenes outside the airship. The game is nearly unplayable due to how awful everything but the gameplay is.
