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.

    After X comes XI, not X 2.

    You start doing sequels in Final Fantasy, you blow the whole thing. Now you have to worry about continuity and whether it fits in character and whatnot. Blah.

    I liked new, completely independant stories. I like that they could completely revamp the game engine, completely change the concept of "magic spells" and whatnot... Truly produce a brand new game that could be enjoyed on its own.

    I could play FF8 without playing FF7, it didnt make a difference.

    Oh well, as long as the carcass hasnt completely rotted, that horse is going to get beaten.

      From what I've heard, there was a huge clamor for a sequel to FFX. So they made one. FF XI is still coming out in America.. eventually, and they're working on XII right now. XII is actually a proper FF too, none of this sequel or MMORPG business. It's not really changing anything, it's just making a couple extra games along the way.
