FFX-2 Review

I love this game because it was a great sequel to FFX. I actually played this game before I played FFX so picking up X-2's battle system was easier than transitioning from X to X-2 which are completely different from one another.
The battle system is semi-real time and a lot more fun than its predecessor. You can't actally move the characters but they do have action bars that allow a character to make a move based on how much time it takes to execute that move, and then how much time it takes to recover from using that move as opposed to FFX where it's completely turn based. Weapons/armor/accessories still suck, but once again, they really aren't that necessary.
I gave FFX a 4 out of 5 and this game gets a 4 as well. It was just as good as FFX (better I think), but blitz ball SUCKS. Blitz ball really made FFX for me but they completely changed it in FFX-2 and had it been kept the same as FFX, I could have easily given this game a 5. In X-2 it's completely spectator/coach instead of actually getting to play. You're more like a GM (general manager for non-sports fans). That and the lack of playable characters (you can only use the three on the cover).
All in all, still a really fun game. Characters are comical, you meet almost everyone from FFX (key - ALMOST). X-2 also boasts a more intriguing storyline, better battle system (sphere grid integration), great graphics (movie scenes can be bought in the game to be viewed whenever), even better music (I want the soundtrack), Yuna now has guns instead of a staff and doesn't look like a nun, what more can you ask for?
