You're opinions on FFX-2 - Page 2

Blitzball is still in FFX-2, it's not the same as FFX, nad it's only playable in chapter 5.

Erm.....Well, It's playable up to chapter 5, And I havn't played it since that. Yes, the world is a lot brighter and a lot less domm and gloom that was in FFX. But it doesn't fit the FF series well. I found that the only way I could play the game....was muted, Rikku gets annoying after about 3 hours. The other 2 are ok though (By that i mean, not annoying). The battle system has changed and can't be compaired to the FFX system. It's an ok game.

I haven't touched it in a few months, I left off somewhere in chapter 3. If you can play it with the mindset that it was never intended to be a serious game, at least in comparison to it's precursor, it's a good deal of fun. My only real gripe is the soundtrack, which is without a doubt the absolute worst OST from any Final Fantasy game.

If you have time on your hands, there is a ton to do in this game in terms of sidequests and the like; Sticking strictly to the plot events, you could probably go through it in fairly short order. Make no mistake, the game is quite sufficiently packed with content, even if it isn't all entirely relevant or necessary.

Yeah, but that's my point. After you choose your team and formation, then it simply becomes a five minute CG sequence. Yay.

Actually, I really like it. It kinda grows a bit on you, but it's a blast. It's also the only full soundtrack that I could get for free with using a P2P program.

Ergh..some pathetic fool told me that fans weren't satisfied with FFX(Final Fantasy 10), so that's why they made the sequel X-2!! Are they an idiot?!? I've beaten FFX three times this month(for its all I have left to do in summer..), and it was better than playing three hours of X-2 to me. Woohoo a 5 minute CG who wouldn't want to see that? And I think the FFX soundtrack is by far better than X-2's...my thought, I couldn't even listen to Rikku talk for about the half of FFX she's in, and I am very sorry to you people that had to listen to her for a whole game.. O.o And I'd rather have Lulu than Payne. Lulu's super magical and stuff...yeah.

Oh, and a side note...why would you buy the soundtrack for FFX or X-2 if you can just get the music spheres? I was kind of confused by what you said, so don't call me an idiot, or new, or a new idiot, or anything of that sort, alright? And I could listen to FFX's music spheres for a long time...

And how many people carry around a PS2, TV and a power supply to listen to it.?

Darkness: I'd think the main point for getting the music outside of the game would be to listen to it when you're not playing the game. On your computer or in your car and such.

Ravenhurst · 08-09-2004, 05:24 PM

The soundtrack is truly abominable. If I ever run into the guy who composed the theme you hear at Clasko's ranch I will spit upon his face and kick him squarely in the testicles.

Darknesseverywhere · 08-09-2004, 06:14 PM

You people are just geting beside the point now! A FOOL SAID THAT X-2 WAS MADE BECAUSE FFX DID NOT SATISFY THE PEOPLE THAT PLAYED IT!! THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE... ffx tis much greater than x-2!! And I have a ps2 in my car so ha!

KefkaTaran · 08-10-2004, 12:46 AM

Most people don't have their PS2 in their car.

And the guy who said that was an idiot because that would be a stupid reason for making a game. They made FFX-2, more likely, because FFX sold so well, so FFX-2 was guaranteed to sell well.

FYI, check out boxtorrents.com and do a search for Final Fantasy. You'll come up with a torrent about ~6GB in size that contains every single officially sanctioned FF soundtrack in MP3 format. A hefty download, but well worth the diskspace if you ask me. There's a supplement file that includes a few odds and ends the main archive left out.

You can also download the original sequences from zophar.net, all you need is a few plugins for Winamp (PSF, NSF, SPC, etc.). The files are all very small considering the sheer volume of content, though sometimes they are not exact replicas due to a few tehcnical complications. This only extends are far as mixing/effects/looping issues though, it's a reasonably negligible difference unless you're an absolute purist with a good ear.

But really, FFX2 has one of the worst soundtracks of any game I've ever played.
