Board 8 > Rikku is back

(+) Yeah! (+)

The last save point is right before a very tall thing. You will know when you see it. And you can teleport right to the airship and continue doing whatever.

You should 100% just go beat the game right now though. The final boss feels way better when you don't 2-shot it. Although you already have some celestials so you might be too strong already...

Maybe I will beat it now. I just think I will convince myself not to play anymore if I beat it. And thus goes the sidequests. Then again the side stuff looks to be like 20+ hours. Maybe I shouldn't waste my time on it.

It's like right after the last save point. It's hard to describe past that. There's like a room where there are some crystals that you have to fight 10 battles or something that I think you can't run from, then the final boss sequence.

It's been a while.
---

Oh right, I literally forgot that any save point can take you back to the airship. Oops.
---

Maybe ill jist do the omega ruins. Fuck the rest of the bosses and then finish the game. Think you all talked me out of grinding just to fight a few bosses.
---

It's definitely not worth putting off beating the game to absolutely everything, at the very least.
---

It really isn't that worth it.

Not playing ffx2. What is eternal calm?
---

Basically just a big cutscene that gets the ball rolling for the plot of X-2.

How long is the cutscene?

FF-X2 is terrible. It is an abomination. It is an affront to man, beast, and god. If there were one thing blamed for the inevitable downfall of civilization, humanity and social conscience, it would be FF-X2.
This thread is an excersize in futility. The next time you feel inclined to display apologetic prostration before the Final Fantasy franchise, do it before your homemade shrine to Squeenix, not on the internet where people will ridicule you for your ridiculous opinions.



Lololol
That is all.

Counterpoint: It has a really fun job system and great gameplay.

But the story and writing are...disasterrific

I'll pass then.

Cool.

That's the same reason I passed. Great gameplay is not enough to make me play through that story.

Yeah an RPG going into it knowing the story is a terrible is always a bad idea.
---

I think it's a better game, but if you actually prioritize the non-interactive cutscenes that take up like 2% of your experience than yeah I can see that opinion being rational.
---

I will say there are moments where the story starts getting significantly better, and then it will do something to completely shit the bed.

What PS1-2 era RPG have you played where cutscene ratio is 2%? Because even if you 100% this game, it sure as shit ain't one. Especially since sidequests unlock more cutscenes.

Edit: MAYBE Via Infinito would put it there, but without it not a chance. And no way Corrik does that anyway.
---

If I play a game for 80 hours, you think the cutscenes themselves last more than like two hours?
---

X-2 has a skip scene feature anyways so could literally make it insignificant.

I would actually recommend playing x-2 that way lol

Yes, actually. You wanna factor in dialogue that isn't part of a cutscene, then even more so.

MGS1, before they started getting completely insane with cutscenes, is over 3 hours. Even Revengeance, a very short game, is over 2. You really think JRPGs have less than that?
---

I feel like cutscenes were under 2 hours in ffx but I do not know for sure.
