Good Points
Great to have the characters' stories from Final Fantasy X completed.
Bad Points
Having to go through the game again to get 100% complete could get a bit boring in parts.
General Comments
Final Fantasy X-2 - So the first ever Final Fantasy sequel the question is will there ever be another? I have to say that I really hope so. It was great to start a new game but know the characters already, it makes the game so much more playable. So many questions left at the end of Final Fantasy X are finally answered. You definitely get the feelgood factor from this game.
I only have one problem with the sequel and that was the amount of times you need to go through the same five chapters to get 100% complete. As I am a perfectionist and a romantic, having been told if you get 100% complete Tidus will return, I couldn't put the game down until I had done this. This took a total of 152 hours of gameplay!!!!! But I have to say that Yuna and Tidus being together again was incentive enough for me.
I really like the way that although you no longer play with certain characters from the first one that they also get their stories made complete. Wakka a dad was so cool he was my favourite character from the first game and he is still as funny in this one, when you see him that is.
I think that the only part of this sequel that I feel really should not have been changed from the first one was the way you play blitzball. I just couldn't bring myself to play this for any longer than was essential. However, this is not enough to make me dislike this game and I would highly recommend this to Final Fantasy fans. Role on the next Final Fantasy!!!
