The storyline isn't the greatest, but the combat is on point. It's some hybrid of turn based and action in the same game. Here's an example of what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhUgHOa6T3I
X-2 seems harder in some instances to me and definitely in its side content, well the Monster Arena was still pretty freakin hard. I love the battle system in the game. I just wish some jobs were easier to get. I was ass at Sphere Break so I never got Lady Luck and couldn't quite find Dark Knight either. Being able to switch jobs on the fly was cool too. The job system can be really fun, but they use it so sparsely throughout the main series. If X-2 counts as mainline then we haven't got the job system since 2003. I hope XVI uses it rather switchable or predetermined.
Yep, it's my favorite game and I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it. Have you played Chocobo Hot & Cold?
X-2's system requires more strategy than what X has simply because X-2 runs on ATB and you have less control over the flow of battle in comparison to X. Just wait until you do the Cloister Trials....they are even harder in the international version.
I haven't played the game in years, so I can't recall if the tutorial is lengthy or not.That Sphere Break tutorial started off simply enough but the rules kept going and going and going
That could work. I don't think I've ever played the original version before though.. is the script still good? Are the bugs still present?
Yeah I know. I just chose to tag it because I had no idea that they were actually summons until the last second.
I wish it was a chocobo instead. I understand why Cloud was picked though. After all, Harada would be a master troll to put Cloud in Smash and not put the remake on the NX.
Honestly, frameskipping isn't going to fix the game's combat problems like Regen being absolutely insane and the turns being backed up so much. Still one of the best Final Fantasies in other areas though.
