What?!!! That was the best FMV sequence ever! And the music fit perfectly! How dare you!?!
Seriuosly, though, I must have watched it five or six times already at the sphere theatre, heh. It really is a great FMV, and I didn't have any probs with the song (not the type of music I listen to, but still a good song, and gave the right mood for the vid).
[Edit - Oh, and IMO, 'real Emotion' (song from opening FMV) was better in japanese (heard it on a preview I got with Unlimited Saga)]

Here's me dredging out old threads. So, Murrin, how do you feel about it now?
Me, I've never finished a Final Fantasy numbered game. You could argue that FFX-2 is one of them, but most people don't agree. I've played through a lot of them, but the only games I actually did finish that are Final Fantasy related are the tactics games, and FFX-2. And I finished FFX-2 at least twice, and got the perfect ending. I just love the battle system in it - I think it worked better than most other FF games. But I know I'm in the minority.

Time is a waste of life
So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life

Good enough game. The whole 'Girl Power' thing made it rate a little below X for me.
I've beat every one except I, II, IX, and XII (though of the non-numbered, I've only beat Dissidia). I've never been a 100% guy, but I have gone out of my way for some things like the Barret/Cloud scene or the spoon dagger.

I kinda feel like I misjudged XII. The game suffered from a lackluster advancement system, a weird and imbalanced limit system, and a SLOOOOW opening. But it was kind of a gutsy move. The gambit system was completely brilliant. ALL of the pleasure I got from that game came from making clever scripts for my allies to follow in combat.
X-2 - My final verdict was that it was pretty fun, but kind of lightweight after X. Building a game out of the less interesting characters in X was kind of a deal breaker for me.
The only square/enix game I particularly liked for the PS2 was Dragon Quest 8, (and 10, somewhat) It's the only one I see myself playing again. Wheras I have probably played 7 close to two dozen times now.

Dragon Quest 8 was great, but I think you have the wrong Square/Enix franchise. 9 is slated to come out soon in the US on the DS, and 10 has been announced for the Wii.The Dreaming wrote:The only square/enix game I particularly liked for the PS2 was Dragon Quest 8, (and 10, somewhat) It's the only one I see myself playing again.

As a middle aged woman gamer, FFX-2 seriously peed me off! X is my favourite FF game but the whole 'Charlie's Angels' theme just made me angry!
And why is my Yuna so rubbish? I had her with the celestial weapon in X, she was doing 20,000 to 40,000 damage with Holy
It's the only FF since 7 that I haven't completed yet (aside from 13, which I'm struggling with at the moment.
