| Posted By: Phoenixwings Posted On: Jul 18, 2005 Views: 3076 | What was wrong with FFX2... This was an obvious answer to the b**ching fans who said, "what about Tidus?". This heap of horsedung had so many gripes, I can only fathom to name a few: -Soundtrack was HORRENDOUS (Uematsu, you hear me??) -Three character static party from a game which had a seven character interchangeable party? How very disappointing. Here I was thinking I could use Wakka, or hoping against hope, Auron again. Nope. Not even Kimahri. Everyone else was an NPC. FOUL. -Percentage completion -- "here, play this P.O.S. over and over again to get something that by now you don't even need, just to see if there's a Tidus and Yuna sex scene at 100%". I can think of better ways to waste my time, and three of them involve foot grooming. -Recycled landscape -- I understand this is the same world from FFX, but seriously. Reminds me of the Dana Carvey sketch about kid's toys: "Tobra Tee, Tobra Ta, Tobra Too... each time I crook my finger, it's $9.95 to you!" -Alienates/emasculates male FF series loyals. I felt gayer after the intro alone. Even my gay roommate cringed at the obvious "Charlie's Angels" rip with YRP. -Paine: my biggest gripe, yet most redeeming quality of the game. Fresh blood = good. Fresh blood that looks inexplicably like a Conan O' Brien "what if they mated?" session between Wakka and Lulu = bad. (seriously expected her to be their child back from the future a la Michael J. Fox) Attitude = good. Identical attitude displayed by singer Pink = bad. Wanna-be goths = bad. Wanna-be goths I'm forced to use and develop in my game = even worse. -Utter ABSENCE of any truly fun mini games (sphere break sucks hard, and anyone with high school-level math skills can beat it with ease, even on tough levels). -Lack of a good linearity to the plot, story or adventure in totum is annoying, tying back to the 100% completion thing. -Trema was possibly the best thing about this game. And yes, that's a bad thing. Side note: I likened the Via Infinito to Parasite Eve's Chrysler Building in its ugliness, annoying repetition and lack of worthwhile reward for completion. (In fairness to PE, the extra storyline was kind of worth it) -Was this a "chick game"? Bleh. My long-windedness must cease. -Will |

Posted On: Jun 18, 2005 Views: 3099 | meh said it it's more impressive to write a post that actually *says* something with everyday vocabulary. anyways, i've never played a final fantasy game (so i didn't vote), but i'm thinking of buying a ps2 soon. when i get it (and presumably after getting the *good* games), should i ever even consider ffx2? |
| Posted By: Meh Posted On: Jun 9, 2005 Views: 3148 | Wow... You're not long-winded... just pompous, bitchy, and overly impressed with your own over-inflated ego and (wouldbe) superb ability to ejaculate mulitsyllabic expressions of false ascendency. There are ways of expressing dislike without making sad attempts at asserting your dominance in the world of criticism with preposterously superflous vocabulary. No one's impressed. |
