first of all, i gotta say, ffx is almost flawless.... everything is just so great you barely can find any part to complaint about..... storyline is great, the ending can get in tear, the battle system is totally cool and i love the spere grid. as much as i hate soccer, i get addicted to bliztball. anyway... ffx-2 is kinda like a total disappointment..... i don't get what's the point for playing sphere break. it sucks... i don't find how you can compete with other since all you're doing is to add the numbers together in 60 seconds, even a 1st grader can do that. i didn't have to practice at all and i still can defeat shinra easily on my first try in the contest. the chocobo ranch is totally stupid and my least fav side quest is the pubicity and the match making thing.. it's so stupid and annoying. i stop playing that one after the 2nd chapter. the girls are just so annoying they makes me sick, especially yuna... she is so stupid and immature.... it makes me wonder if tidus still loves her.. after coming to life, he would probably like, well, i love the smart and mature yuna in ffx, not the dumb annoying one in ffx-2.. lol.... well, there are just too many disappointment to say about ffx-2 that if i was to list all of them, it's gonna be the whole game.....the only reason i play it is to see how tidus come back to life and to find out the story about leine but they barely talk about leine story.....they don't even explain how shuiyn can take control of venagun cos they say venagun acts on its own... then how could shuiyn able to control it? they add paine as the new char but they barely talk about her past.. what you know about her is just too little. by the way, did i mention that i hate the annoying dress speres? they drive me nuts
