Final Fantasy X-2 North American Preview

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-your-lust-on dept.

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.

    Not only that, he's more than familiar with most football terminology:

    - Tight ends and wide recievers

    - Backfield in motion

    - Too many men on the field

    - Getting "sacked" by a big black man

    And the characters in this game are men who pat each other on the ass!

    Fantastic!

    But this is really test, isn't it? I mean how many people have wanted to have Cloud, Sephiroth, Aerith, Cid, Cid, Squall, Cid, Cid, Cid or Cid in a game again (aside from Kindom Hearts... ick)?

    Well, here's Square's offering to do just that with arguably some of the most popular characters in the franchise. Maybe they'll do this again, maybe they won't, but at least they're giving people the opportunity.

    Who wears short shorts?

    Great, if you was not 100% sure the site would get /., just mention "girls,,, short shorts".

    All the reviewers like FFX. So yes, they are *ALL* wrong.

    PS> The IGN reviewer didn't sound like he played the game...

  5. I played 70+ hours to get the special item! by ImNotThatSmart · · Score: 3, Funny

    It was commented that this game is a mix of DOA Volleyball and FFX. In each FF game, there is usually an item or spell that takes the player several hours to obtain. In FFX2, I overheard that the item will be a baby-blue lip gloss applicator.

    After X comes XI, not X 2. You start doing sequels in Final Fantasy, you blow the whole thing.

    More annoying for me is the "Final" in "Final Fantasy". If a sequel is made to "Final Fantasy", surely that means the first one was "Penultimate Fantasy" ?

    oh dear, a /. reader who doesn't like FF? Can't be true...

    Actually, it's more like a vi vs. emacs discussion:

    "VII is the best!"
    "No! IV is!"
    "The girl in VIII is pretty hot, though!"
    "Only the first one really got it right!"
    "VIII sucks!"
    "VII sucks!"
    "VII rocks!" ...(thud)
