Hmm... thank you, Tareren. Too many people enjoy FFX and X-2 based on graphics and hype. They were told this game was great, and they believed it. Several things about the game annoys me. For one, pointed out by my good friend and loyal Final Fantasy fan, the series is called Final Fantasy for a reason. Every game had a unique story with a beginning, a middle and an end. ffx-2 breaks defeats the idea in two ways, 1; it's a continuation of a previous story, therefore FFX ceases to be a final fantasy and instead becomes a prelude to a final fantasy and 2; the fact that the ending can change, ruins the idea of it being a story. Yes, the graphics are nice, but since ffviii, that has been one of the main goals of Squaresoft (now known as SquareEnix) and the reality is that the graphics are only a small part of any game. Final Fantasy games can still be enjoyed today, regardless of age, because they are classics... and a game only becomes a classic by taking all factors into consideration. Personally, I'd like to believe that ffviii was the last game made, because in essence it was the last time they made a game for something other than the money (maybe ffix, but I haven't played it and know nothing about it.) Changing your job was actually from the first few Final Fantasy games and changing your job would change your clothing, unique to each character... obviously an idea they thought would work in the new game. Final Fantasy X-2 comes off as being somewhat a compilation of the different games, rather than a story and game unto itself. Personally, ffviii was the greatest game I have ever played and has stuck with me since that time... nothing else in the series has come close.
