Don’t get me wrong, I did find enjoyment to be had in Final Fantasy X-2, but, nowhere near as much as I pulled from its predecessor. Still, that’s what makes Final Fantasy such a memorable series. I would have been more than happy if the developer left things there, and whilst the latter half of (and the true ending to) Final Fantasy X-2 ties everything up nicely, it takes a lot of persevering to get to that point. It’s an unpopular stance, but come the end of Final Fantasy X, I thoroughly appreciated its bitter-sweet ending.
The stark shift in tone from predecessor to sequel didn’t sit too well with me, and if anything, it all came off rather silly and over-the-top. Whilst I rather enjoyed Final Fantasy X, I couldn’t truly get on with Final Fantasy X-2 in the same way. Though, what is it that makes the Final Fantasy X series so appealing? Personally, I’m rather split, and to be brutally honest, I always have been. It’s not a bad idea on Square’s part, mind, I mean after all, the Final Fantasy X series has sold over 14 million copies that we know of so far, and even that’s going from a 2013 report. Since then, both games have been compiled together and (re)released a few times on varying platforms. Final Fantasy X and its immediate sequel both released on the exceptional PlayStation 2 back in 20 respectively. Safe to say, for folks such as myself, it’s a good time to be a fan of the long running series. That’s not to mention Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age arriving later this month. So far, we’ve had World of Final Fantasy Maxima, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy VII, and now, the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster. When Square Enix announced that they were bringing over several of the legacy Final Fantasy games to the Xbox One, I almost had to pinch myself. Clever, no? Whatever the case, the point is, I’m a huge Final Fantasy fan. The reason for the change was simply because I bumped into two other CloudStrife Gamertags in the same day, and fancied something a bit different, yet somewhat familiar. It was CloudStrife 900 because of my love for Final Fantasy VII, my favorite JRPG of all time. Before Kaloudz, my Gamertag was CloudStrife 900.
