Getting 100% story completion only sucks if you're doing it in one run. If you do New Game Plus, it'll add up pretty quickly, and there are actually a lot of ways different quests can turn out, so it's neat to see.

Yeah that fight was what ended my run, it was such a huge ramp-up in difficulty and I didn't feel like grinding at the time to get past it

I had a lot of fun with it as a kid. I didn't replay it when I beat FFX a couple years ago tho. Probably should have.

You should! It's good and has some neat additions to the lore of the first game. Also some nice moments of its own. And putting together broken loadouts is fun, too lol.

Thats what I tried to do, and got burned. Got to chapter 4 or 5 and said fuck it, go to the final boss.

I just beat it for the first time a couple years ago. It's ok but not as good as the first one.

I got it when it first came out on PS2 and played like 95% of it but never finished it for reasons I can't even remember.

Yeah, chapter 4 is just a huge series of Guide Dangits. I say the best way to play is one blind playthrough, then do a run referencing a guide for all Chapter Completes.

Gameplay was amazing. Some of the best in the series. Also absolutely love the dress-sphere mechanic.

X-2 is a garbage follow up to X, but is overall a good game.

It's definitely a tonal shift from the first game, even when the plot actually kicks in. But it's good. But also I'm biased cuz I got it as a gift before playing X, so it couldn't let me down lol.

I take it youve played FFX since then? If so, what were your thoughts on that game during your initial playthrough?

Yeah, I did play FFX after that. There was actually a lot that I couldn't piece together from the sequel alone. Like literally the whole sacrifice involved in the final summoning. So that was still a cool plot twist for me. When I went back to X-2 later, it gave some scenes a lot more impact. Also obviously I didn't recognize all the people and places I should have.

Moving onto FFX, it was kind of a downer lol. You go from a world opening up and experiencing freedom for the first time to that same world crushed under the weight of a calamitous monster and a corrupt church/government and very much focused on fighting for their lives. Also the combat felt slow for a while, but of course it was still really fun.

Honestly it wasn't a terrible experience playing 2 first. It didn't really spoil anything except for the fact that Tidus isn't around.

Aww I'm flattered. Yeah, maybe. That probably would be Yuna. She's just a sweet cinnamon roll who'll fight and give everything for the good of everyone. A darling of the church, but she's smart enough to question its leaders and its teachings when given reason to. I just really love her character in both games. No other character in the Final Fantasies I've played (which are admittedly few) are that fleshed out and admirable.

Exactly this.

Played X like a decade ago and loved it, so I started up X-2 right after and could not get into it.

Replayed X last year and loved it again, so I started up X-2 right after once more...and still could not get into it. I did get way farther this second time, but the combat is just real annoying, as is the story progression. Which sucks, because I really love the tone and vibe of X-2, and YRP are fun protagonists, but man...it's just such a chore to get through.

It was fine but really held down by making it impossible to 100% without a guide, but also locking a shit ton of content behind that.

I mean you actually have to not press through a dialog box too fast or you miss out on100%. It is fucking absurd cryptic missable shit like that CONSTANTLY

I think the problem was that while there are different outcomes to see, only SOME of them counted towards the %, and even the ones that did so weren't equal in what it added. So you may forget what you already did or didn't do by the next playthrough or two, and the only way to truly keep track was with a guide (it also didn't help matters that the official strategy guide was chockful of errors too.)

Last time I played X was the HD remaster. I forgot to pick up one of the items needed for Tidus's ultimate weapon and you can't go back to get it without fighting Dark Bahamut.

Iirc, any unique voiced line of dialogue added a certain % to your completion. Just siding with the other faction in chapter 2 in NG+ will give you a chunk of new lines in the main story and probably give you some more if you visit certain areas where your allegiance is relevant (Mushroom Rock, Bevelle, etc.). You still need to complete a ton of sidequests and probably look up the right sequences of events to get certain endings for the highroad chocobo mystery, but it's not impossible.

Truth be told, it did take me multiple runs before I happened to reach 100%. Doing everything in one run where you literally can't talk to anyone without checking a guide first in case it advances the story too soon would be absolute agony though.

Fun game, definitely received more hate than it deserved at the time of release. Getting 100% was a bitch though, I remember thats the only game I bought a strategy guide for to check off the 100% list.

Also have to agree with some of the other users about Seymour Flux halting their runs. I remember dying millions of times at that boss, the boss Evrae on the airship was also a hard roadblock for me the first go around especially since there was no save sphere to heal you right after the fight.

Seymour was a challenge like three times. The final time is just fun though. And if I had ever died to the fights immediately after Evrae, I would definitely have stopped playing forever.

dude you have no idea how hard I raged dying to those guards after fighting Evrae. It took what felt like thousands of tries to beat him and then to have no save sphere and get entered into another fight just to dieugh

I believe it. I struggled so much with Evrae. Timing the ship's movements, healing all its statuses, and the agony of trying to grind while stuck on the ship; it was a bad time. I was always terrified during the following fights cuz I didn't wanna have to redo it. And those guards and machina hit harder than they should. >:[
