I agree with the whole "girl power" notion being annoying, but by making only females for the lead roles and a battle system rivaling an episode of Sailor Moon, they could actually get a male audience. I just got to say, MGS4 is one of the most beautiful games evvvveeeeer so you should totally play it and borderlands is very very fun, in which, speaking of girl power, lilith is the most awesome survalist killing machine ever. kill something, regenerate health and shields while burning and electrocuting everything around me? don't mind if I do. oh, and I love your hair Emily. “Final Fantasy X-2 is a game I turned my nose up at the instant my beloved, delicate, quiet, innocent Yuna took to a stage in a miniskirt and started singing and dancing.”

Worst thing was Leblanc, but Nooj, Baralai and Gippal were pretty cool. Loved the way Shuyin fought like Tidus, too.

I know the game would've been berated if it was 'more of the same', but that's something I would've loved, most of the changes really warped the FFX universe for me. I enjoyed the fighting, and no matter how serious a levelling-up addiction I may have, I can't do it unless the fighting is good, and the fighting certainly was good fun. Beserker dresspheres all-round please! I think it’s all a matter of taste, I was hoping for something more serious and compelling throughout.

"...and started singing and dancing" ....Ah Honestly, looking past the singing and "YRP" crap, I did actually rather enjoy FFX-2 - the stupidly named "Dresspheres" making a welcome return to the concept of the Job system, and the attention to detail was nice, with each character modelled individually in each class which I thought was pretty cool, Rikku looked awesome as a Warrior. Obviously the "cut-paste" feeling was entirely due to it being a sequel set on the same world as FFX on the same console. I do agree with you on the most part, but as an individual game I did think that FFX-2 had some good qualities that I honestly enjoyed :D “I turned my nose up at the instant my beloved, delicate, quiet, innocent Yuna took to a stage in a miniskirt”

They've taken a great shooter and added a levelling up system (getting kills for weapons and attachments and the experience ranking system) and made a great game. I *say* great, but I only mean that when it isn't being glitched out to the max. >:( That’s maybe the same reason Call of Duty is so popular.
