The hooker is out of the bag!

Pros:Mildly entertaining.
Cons:The lack of FMVs, the stupidity of the story, ...read the review.
The Bottom Line: Wait for the price to go down. It's not worth the $50 I payed.

This game is not what I expected it to be. I have always enjoyed Final Fantasy games... but not so much this one. Final Fantasy X was a great game. A sequel wasn't exactly needed, but I thought that since it would be Final Fantasy X's sequel, I figured it would be good. I was wrong.

First of all, they have slut-i-fied Yuna and Rikku. Not only did they do that, but they changed Yuna's personality so drastically it is ridiculous. Her clothes got changed also. She is now wearing, what I like to call, butt cheek shorts. Since I preordered the game, I got a big poster with Yuna in her shorts. Her @ss scares me at night. I'm considering putting a post-it note over it. She sings and dances a sh!tload of times in this game, too. Sure, I can understand that she doesn't have to worry about being a summoner anymore, but this is just stupid. They changed Rikku by giving her a very annoying, squeaky voice and putting her in a bikini top. She has also gotten very perky and happy like Yuna. The third character, Paine, was the only good character out of the three.

The storyline was really nothing. It was pretty much all little missions, like handing out balloons, fighting some bad guys, or selling tickets. It's boring. Okay, at times it can be a little fun, but not often. The story picks up only during the last chapter. I know I didn't miss any of the story, because I got the perfect ending. About 80% of this game is pointless missions.

The graphics are great. But even this has it's own problems.
This game has hardly any FMVs. I believe there is about 9 FMVs throughout the entire game. Final Fantasy X had around 52.

There is one cool instant in the game when Yuna eats a mushroom and doubles in size. ...Oh, wait. That was in Mario.

One last complaint... if you plan on getting a decent ending, you have to use either a walkthrough or the game guide. You would never guess to do a lot of things in this game that contribute to the ending. Little things, like not pressing X at a precise moment can take a huge piece of the ending out... making you play the game a second time.

This game deserves it's own little casket for the infamous Final Fantasy grave.

Recommended: No
