Final Fantasy X-2 North American Preview
Majestic Mog writes "FiringSquad somehow managed to score an advance copy of the English version of Final Fantasy X-2, the first REAL sequel in the long-running RPG series. They cover changes in the game over the first FFX, the English voice actors, and something about girls wearing short shorts." It looks like they took the best of FFX and combined it with the best of DoA Volleyball. In other words, this might be the perfect video game. I just wish it would come out before december since I just finished KotoR and need a new game.
This game is the biggest pile of crap Square has rolled out since their TOM SAWYER game for the Famicom. I picked up the Japanese version and played it for a whole 10 minutes before regretting buying it. It's total fanboy-catering - horrible story, and an abuse of the decent story that 10 had.
When I saw the news I thought they were anouncing Final Fantasy 2 the movie.
You can imagine how dissapointed I am at this moment..
Do your really think that any of these "unbiased" sources of "information" are really going to pay someone to write something bad about Squaresoft? I seriously doubt it. Square could paint a turd gold and everyone would claim to love it.
All three of those sites are blatant industry whores whose job is to pump up the fanboys to buy games.
:(
When they say a game sucks you know that, one, it's from an independant who doesn't advertise with them, and two, it really, really sucks.
When they say things like "We expected to be disappointed, but we were pleasantly surprised" it means it's pretty mediocre, they know you know it's pretty mediocre, at best, but need to pump up the volume somehow. It's their job.
I'll wait to see what Old Man Murray has to say about it.
Oh, wait. Nevermind.
I guess making snippy, but accurate, critiques doesn't pay as well as quote whoring.
