FFX was better! Anyone agree?

[ZanarkandRuins]

Does anhbody else think that FFX was better than X2? :eek:

[DarkCloud]

Most deffinatly. Final Fantasy X is MUCH better then its sequel. my reasons are simply because IT IS a sequel, Final Fantasy is good the way it is i think. i mean, FFX-2 is still a great game but it wont go down as one of the greatest or 'classics' ever made. and another thing that bugged me was that Nobuo Uematsu didnt do the music for FFX-2, that guy is great with the FF's!

There, finally got my opinion down lol.

[ZanarkandRuins]

I'm with you...a sequel to a FF game? o.o
That's just wrong...besides, it was a disgrace!
(Although I DO like that one oicture of Rikku :P)

[ZanarkandRuins]

[Troublesom]

It don't think it ever was Square Enix's intention to hope to make X-2 better than the originator :D

[Totorosama]

The original is almost always the best, especially due to the uniqueness factor. THe same is true here.

[Xartex]

FFX was definetly better than ffX-2, never quite liked that game

[Max the Man]

I did like FFX a lot better than X-2, but X-2 holds a place in my heart, because it is the first 3D ff I ever beat.

[Totorosama]

Which means you've never beat any FF before VII. That's weird. Where have you been? Also, I don't see how putting on different costumes could give you abilities. The sphere grid and weapon system was much more logical. However, I have a problem with the both of them. That is, they're both really easy. Too easy. It's almost impossible to die, except in a boss battle.

[水草Cloud]

the end of <last misstion > is too perfact!

No, I beat FFI too... almost beat FFII and lost my copy of FFVI before I could beat that one... *cries*

[Lyde Lyde]

Of course it was, FF X-2 is crap. The only good thing about it is it's unique battle system, I mean the final Boss is easy, I defeated him on my first try.

[ff7Alexander]

ffX is better,But i like the Dresspheres on ffx-2 it's like the job system on ff5.

[Compact Soul]

I agreethat FF10 was better.

[Squall Leonhart]

I think it's safe to say everyone likes 10 more ;)

[Squall Lionheart]

both are nice ......
.....close in style......

[Phoenix Flame]

X - Rocks, X-2 - sucks! It's that simple

[slimcloud]

ffx was longer than this 1 but i think this one was better i just enjoyed this one so much more

[darth phille]

i agree ff-x was better

[baralai]

i agree like my friend!

[darkmajinvegeta]

i love ffx

[lightsupergohan]

yes me!!

[darkmajinvegeta]

in ffx we can be tidus and auron it´s better (x-2 are good to but ffx are better)

[magiclili]

In my opinion,I think FFX-2 is a great game.and it impressed me a lot.
But FFX is maybe better.

[Lucavi86]

I didn't like X-2 much, too much of is was side quests and it really didn't live up to what FF X had before it in my opinion. X was much much better.

[LoneWolf]

Own both and agree that FF X was alot better.

[Seyluv]

I agree X was better than X-2.

[Avathar]

I haven't actually played it yet, but i did follow some parts while my cousin was playing........and the only thing, but then the ONLY thing that would encourage me to play this: graphics. -_-

[Crazi]

i think the only thing that appealed to me from ffx-2 was the fast paced battle system ...and as you say avathar.. the graphics were good... thats it tho .. other than that it sux.

[YuRiPa]

I liked FFX-2 and i enjoyed it alot.. its a nice easy going game thats fun! :) But i would have to agree that FFX is much better.. mainly because of its story :)

[Lokzor]

I recieved it as a gift from my girlfriend, and I played it mainly to continue the FFX story, though I agree the original was far better. I have to say I was expecting to be disappointed with X-2, since I KNEW my favorite character from the original wouldn't come back.

The main thing I didn't like about it was the story. I was hoping it would be more connected to the original game. Some of the music also annoyed me. I did like the jobclass system though, a refreshing change from FFX.

To be honest, X-2 was the "Charlie's Angels" of final fantasy

[Eru Iluvatar]

I agree with your assertions mostly!FFX-2 could never be as good as its predessesor.First of all,the time spent to make ffx2 wasn't as long as that of making ffx.FFX-2 has to deal with Mr.Uematsu's resignation from square.Thus,the music score creators have to 'battle' with the famous,succeeded and classic composer of the first 10 titles.The score,in my opinion,of ffx-2 is generally stupid.And I am sorry to say that.Nonetheless,it has some masterpieces like ''Eternity'' or ''Wind's Crest~The three trails'',but generally it just doesn't stand a chance before ffx.Nope it does not.The story was lame,and too girlish.I clearly prefer ffx's ending rather than ffx-2's one.Why?Because ffx's eding offered me such emotion and let me imagine of the end myself.Some things are better when left to the player's imagination imo.FFX-2 ruined that.It also broke the tradition....One of the few good thing are the girls' hot garments...


edit:there was going to be an ffx-3 (Rikku's edition) too.........

[Sephiroth v.2]

i think ffx is much better special its much much harder then ffx-2

[Kat]

i agree, ffx had more action and emotion in it. ;)

[choco luvor]

i agree but this game was still good. at least i liked it.

[Austin Al]

Re: FFX was better! Anyone agree?

well, i don't think ffx was a hard as ffx2 b/c of one thing and that was tryin to get 100% in the game..... ffx was better but that is b/c ffx2 was more of a girls flick then anythin else.... FFx is better to me!

~Half Breed~

[Zeromus_X]

X > X-2.

I did like the battle system of X-2, but the whole little Charlie's Angels atmosphere kept me from taking it seriously.

That, and stupid 100% ending you ruined X's ending grr.

[Hydra]

Meh....I liked FFX-2 for the....I'll say CHARACTERS and battle mode. Forces you to think on your feet, and do commands that might cost you later. So, it's a bit fun trying to make fast strategys. Still, FFX is better. For the story, characters, and all around gameplay. :D

[Kat]

i like FFX because the hole im trying to find my love thing sam o sam with yuna and shuyin...so dramatic...........

[Avathar]

X > X-2.

As simple as that. ;)

[Hydra]

Yeah. :D Except, the battle system. In my opinion anyway.

[Avathar]

Let's see which game is better than the other, like this :p :

1. Better Music: FFX

2. Better Graphics: FFX-2

3. Better Story: FFX

4. Better Random Gameplay: FFX

5. Better Secrets and Sidequests: FFX

6. Better Characters: FFX

7. Better World in time and place: FFX

8. Better Battle Gameplay: FFX-2

9. Better Challenge: FFX

10. Better Humor: FFX

=
X > X-2.

[Hydra]

Heh, that's about right. :D

[Zeromus_X]

I think it had a wonderful battle system, and the cool job system (albeit oddly named and every 'costume' could use more clothing) was refreshing.

Everything else....:/

[Phoenix Flame]

I must say that I agree with the majority here. X was MUCH better than X-2. The whole plot was off. They should have just made a new installment instead of continuing it where the first one left off IMO. Although I did like the ending...especially the 100% ending!

[Hydra]

Yes, it is pretty rewarding to get the 100% ending, when they get back together after all that.

[Zeromus_X]

I hated the 100% Ending. It ruined X's ending. There wasn't a point to X that way. (This is just me though.) X had a bittersweet ending, and I liked that.

Of course, the 'failure' ending is funny. xD

[Hydra]

lol....I loved than ending. :D Still, it makes the FFX ending seem better, now that he comes back when all odds were against him coming back ever again.

[darkshadow2247]

i just think FFX's storyline can't be compared to any other RPG's. The story was given to you but it left so much for you to gather. If you didn't pay attention then it was like you missed out on smaller aspects that made it come together nicely. and i thought it was awesome ho they fit that whole story into that short of a span

[auron]

i agree compleatly

[Spirit]

I like ffx-2 but ffx was better because of story

[richboywonder]

I never played FFX but if everybody says FFX is better they might be right.FFX2 isn't all that.

[Kat]

i would have to agreeX is better than X-2,but i still like it

[blukazoo159]

10 is much better!!!

[Kat]

i like the whole dressphere plan about FFX-2 thats about it i guess,on the contrary i like every thing about X

[Da Chink]

FFX is better for the story side quests and gameplay...
FFX-2 is only good for the quick and easy addition of battle system and minor addition to the storyline

[Avathar]

:p It's no longer a matter of opinion, it's a fact: Final Fantasy X is better than Final Fantasy X-2.

[Da Chink]

:p It's no longer a matter of opinion, it's a fact: Final Fantasy X is better than Final Fantasy X-2.
I would have to agree with you on that one...like i said in an earlier post to a similar thread if not the same one "why are we even debating this?"

[ChibiSelphie]

It was alittle better. But I've read all about X and X-2 to know more about it then I did. and for me, I would have to say if someone wanted to know more about X that they should play X-2

[Da Chink]

Everyone will say X was better or i will smite you :)

[C_Dub]

I didn't really like the story line of FFX-2, though if they didn't make it FFX would have been a big cliff game..

[Seyluv]

I don't really like it, but I haven't played it that long to really understand if I liked it or not.

[C_Dub]

I just saw the 100% ending and that makes the game seem a lot better but they shouldn't have put the other ending in..

[Glock]

Avathar summed it up for me with the list.

[chocobo]

yeah ffx is much better cause it is longer and more deep in storyline

[Kat]

i dont like the ending to X too sad for me,but i do happen to like the fact that in X-2 she finds him,even tho it was crappy the way the game just ended there...

[ave]

i think that ffx was much better than x2 though i did kind of like x2 ffx was better :)

[dappa]

yep i think 10 is better, I love the sphere grid system.

[ninjaboi2905]

Yea I have to agree that FFX was a bit better. I still enjoyed FFX-2 though.

[dappa]

For me if there was some stronger enemies on ffx 2 other than the bevelle dungeon I would rate it just as highly as the original game. Sometimes you get fed up just holding down the x button and letting your characters wallop your enemies to smithereens.

[Phoenix Flame]

Ummm...but aren't they really the same game...more of a continuation from X than a sequel IMO. The enemies and the more exporable world itself was somewhat impressive in X-2. I just didn't appreciate the dressphere/job abilities. But that's just muah!

[dappa]

I didn't think to highly of the dress sphere system either.

[Griever]

In certain ways, yes, X was better. But in other ways i thought X-2 was better.

Maybe more people would like if they were a bit more open minded about rpgs.

I will say, challenge wise, i thought X-2 was alot more challenging than X. It was mainly that aspect that makes me pick X-2 over X.

[thomasmm]

ffx en ffx-2 are both good in it's own way, ffx could use more side quests and stuff, and ffx-2 has too much side quests. and the story line isn't really good, but the sound effects and stuff are pretty good. ffx's story line kicks some major asses.

so i like both games. (ffx is still better though XD)

[dappa]

I will say, challenge wise, i thought X-2 was alot more challenging than X. It was mainly that aspect that makes me pick X-2 over X.

Thats an interesting opinion. I think the enemies of ffx2 are way too easy to defeat. I can think of a few exceptions like shaq, trema and paragon. But they too can become over come with catnip and trigger happy.

[Hydra]

Don't use that, and see how easy it is then.

It's pretty challenging without it. =P

[dappa]

yeah i suppose you are right. But three dark knights with high defence and all the abilities of the dark knight learned can easily put a stop to trema.

My earlier post with the exceptions of angra mainyu, trema, paragon, shaq I still think the enemies in general are too easy.

[Griever]

Try it using nothing but the warrior dressphere and see how long it takes you to get pissed off.

XD

Personally, i like a challenge so i don't even use the dark knight sphere or any of those others that makes the game easy-peasy.

*Man would you be in bad standings w/Kiera...*

Meh?! Oh, I was just saying that I thought DRK was one of the better job classes. I liked lady luck because of the bonuses it gave your characters.

[Hydra]

XD

Try taking on Angra Mainyu with two Berserkers and a Lady Luck. =O

[Kat]

hey i killed that thing...
with 2 darkknights and a berserker ..
it was a loooong battle -_-"

[dappa]

XD



Yeah I have tried that before and it did piss me off, lol I wont be trying that again.

I tried defeating trema by having two warriors constantly using sentinel and the third one attacking. In theory the strategy should work but tremas speed used to do me before I could always select the sentinel command.

[Kat]

i still never made it past Yunalesca's fiend,lmao

i gave up :rolleyes:

[Hydra]

i still never made it past Yunalesca's fiend,lmao

i gave up :rolleyes:
Dang. XD

I almost gave up on Trema. Then I got a Gunner and two Dark Knights, instead of a Gunner, A Dark Knight, and a White Mage.

=D

[Kat]

>.<

that gunner trick never seems to work for me :p
i actually haven't played X-2 in a while.

[Keelus Mclain II]

This game was extremely hard.
I gave up whenever you had to look into that sphere to get completion
it got too hard

but this game was too complicated
I didnt like the idea of all the dresspheres
and i like completing everything so i tried to get 100percent on each dressphere

tooooo hard .

[Shotgunnova]

I played through both games a few times, and it's really a toss-up for which I prefer more. FFX is more tolerable -- it's got half-decent characters, but a bland/linear story peppered with way more interesting sidequests; FFX-2 on the other hand has a nuanced battle/job system, but the fractured mission-based plot and overally "giggly" tone of everything makes it seem like a Charlie's Angels knockoff. FFX has got the most run-throughs, so I guess that's the poison I've picked the most.

That's because the game is nothing but mini-games with an RPG battle system throw into the mix.

[Shotgunnova]

That's half of it. Making things optional and mission-based really gives those 'events' a mini-game feel, which only adds to the often comical tone of everything. The only bone I have to pick with the battle system is that some abilities get too samey -- I'm a status effect junkie, but the overlap in some cases detracted from the job-system experience.

[Gackt Camui]

I totally agree that FF-X was better.

[dappa]

I think that ffx-2 is beautifully presented though. Its a shame they dropped alot of the features of the original game e.g customizing armour.

I liked the fact that characters sorta move position in battle too givin the battle a little more realism.

But this game will never beat final fantasy 10

[Gumdrop]

I think it's safe to say everyone likes 10 more ;)

Noes.

X-2 was a better game imo. Not a better RPG, but a better game. I liked how it didn't take itself seriously and it was very fun :)

[clief101_]

X-2 and XII are the worst FF games ever made!! at least thats my oppinion in the 1's that ive played

[Gumdrop]

XII is my fave one :p either xii, or 9. Don't think 10-2 is that good, bit I like it more than X

[clief101_]

i didnt like XII. IX is 1 of my fav ones, i thought it was a realy good game

[Masamune85]

Yes. 10 was most definitely better. this one is visually impressive. tho. Don't really like the whole changing jobs in the middle of battle. can't hardly stay focused . lol
