Sin was destroyed 2 years ago by the party of seven bringing the Eternal Calm. But, then, something is happening to Spira. The people divide, the beautiful environments are destroyed. To top it all off, Yuna misses HIM. The Calm is not so calm anymore. One day after Yuna holds her breath for 2 and a half minutes and makes fun of Wakka for becoming chubby (he’s also Lu’s hubby. Thanks to him, everyone’s favorite gothic, nearly hanging out of her dress, is preggers) receives a visit from everyone favorite hyperactive cousin, Rikku! Rikku gives Yuna a sphere with a recording of Him, or at least it looks like him. So, now with new information, what’s this former High Summoner to do? Let her hair down; pick up a new sassy look (that includes cleavage, hot pants and a three-foot long braid). Rikku also picks up a new look. Bikini? I didn’t like it. Many of you do though.
Former High Summoner Yuna becomes a, yeah no one guessed, a Sphere Hunter. What is a Sphere Hunter you ask? A Sphere Hunter is well, someone that hunts sphere. Whither they are recorded sphere or Dress Spheres. Yuna’s team, the Gullwings, includes Rikku and a most mysterious and moody newcomer, Paine. These are the only others who fight with you (just so you know). The others are the great Blitzer (well if you put him to your team in Final Fantasy X) Brother, his best friend Buddy and a whiz kid who always is behind a mask (and whom I think is a girl) Shinra (look filmir?). There‘s one person, whom is a Hypello, is the Barkeep. He doesn‘t matter much since, you only need to talk to him once.
Yeah well, that’s not all. Yes. They’ve changed two other things. The Battle System by bringing back the A(ttack)T(ime)B(ar) and a little surprise that I’ll get to later. But, I’m anxious to tell my loyal one and a half fan about, the Garment Grid and Dresspheres! Yunie, Rikku and Paine all have Garment Grids and Dresspheres for one reason, for fun! Each girl starts out with a Dressphere. If you run your mouse over the pictures you’ll get to see which girl starts out with what dressphere. Anyways, using the dresspheres you’ll be able to over run your enemies with different strengths. Facing a Helm enemy? Why not pull out your Gun Mage. Get my point? But, in order to make your people powerful in the certain dressphere, you need to obtain and use abilities. With the Gunner class, you can get abilities that could take away a target’s MP or, crictially hurt with. Dislike your enemy’s high defense? Use the Gunner’s Cheap Shot ability to make the defense regardless and the attack depends on your girlies strength. Enough evidence for ya? Anyways, each class has different abilities and with some of the girls, different abilities from each other. Like with the Trainer class. Paine’s abilities are different from Yuna’s and Rikku’s. How do you earn talents you ask? Kill enemies. Some are worth one. Some are worth more. Don’t ask me, I haven’t even clocked down which are worth more.
Okay. Now I might confuse you but, if you obtain all the classes, you may see a connection with the weapons to other classes. For example: The Gun Mage, Gunner and Alchemist all have guns so, would be considered as the Gunner Class. Warrior, Samurai and Dark Knight are all apart of the Warrior Class. Songstress, Trainer, Lady Luck and a Job I won’t ruin for you are all apart of a Class I call “Entertainment.” Black Mage and White Mage are apart of a Mage Class. Thief, is just a Class of it’s own, Exposive.
Now to the Battle System. It’s true. Square-Enix (I like to call them Squenix), brought back the old and out dated ATB system. Don’t know what that is? Put down you FFX-2 and go watch Teletubbies. Well, I didn’t like the ATB system in other Final Fantasies. In FFX-2 it is done right. How? How you ask? Well, it’s fast and fun. Kinda like throwing shoes at old people. I’ve never seen them run so fast. I was personally glad with the CTB system in FFX.
Well, don’t think that’s the only change (Real time is also here, sorta). Chain Attacks are now in the Final Fantasy Series. Well, okay. Just this gem. I’ll explain it like this: You attack an enemy with your Thief right? She attacks two times and you see a Chain 1!. Well, if you attack first with your Gunner, using Trigger Happy, then with your Thief and then Warrior you just used a 12, maybe even 13 chain attack. The attack of your Warrior was strong right? Attack without attack with the Thief and Trigger Happy. It’s not as strong right? I knew it. Chain Attacks raise the attack power of the next attack. Ha! Me! AM! So! Smart!
So, what has become of Spira? Let me tell you. People divided into 3 groups. Machine Faction, New Yevon and Youth League. All three leaders of the group intertwine with Paine’s past. Two out of the three groups want the Gullwings to side with them. Want some background on the groups well, ask no more!
Okay. Now that you know what happened to Spira, you want to know what happened to your old friends, right? Well, here it goes. Wakka is still in Besaid and has become lazy. According to Rikku and Yuna he’s become chubby.
Lulu’s now preggers thanks to Wakka. She married Wakka and I predict that they’ll soon be on Jerry Springer.
Kihmari is on Mount Gagazet. He has become the elder of the Ronso and apparently is not doing a very good job. He still doesn’t have his horn.
Pacce, Isaaru and Mardora are all doing different things. Isaaru is promoting Cid’s Zanarkand “Fantasy Land”. Mardora is apart of the Youth League and always his pushy self. Pacce is leader of the Kinderguardians. Kinderguardians is a Sphere Hunter group that you have no need to worry about.
What? You complain about there being not summons? You do disappoint me. All of you who are complaining about there being no summons are stupid twits. Those of you who are complaining about my spelling and grammar issues are very intelligent people. Okay. Listen here. The fayth are gone. No more. That means, aw your so cute when your struck stupid, NO more summons. That only means Yuna can no longer summon the Fayth, but (and this is a very big butt O_O;) that doesn’t mean that there won’t be Shiva, Ixion, Valfor, Ifrit and Bahamut. So, stop complaining and if you want summons, go look for FFX, FFIX, FFVIII and FFVII for they all have summons.
Many of you will notice the music change. Yes, I’m very mad about this as well. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, it goes like this. No Noboo. It’s as simple as that. Who’s Noboo? Who’s NOBOO!? You have to be kidding me. Remember all the great music that has no lyrics in FFVII, (One Winged Angel, Seprioth) was all written by Noboo.
With this second installment, The Final Fantasy Series has picked up a new hip sort of music. Win a battle, you don’t get the usual Final Fantasy celebration music. Instead, you get a ‘Hip’ sort of thing. yes, I don’t know how to describe it. It’s still pretty good though.
Final Fantasy X-2 has taking along a new Mission Based System. Instead of having a linear storyline, FFX-2 has options. If you want to skip a non-important mission, like for say, The Gauntlet Mission, you can if you want to. It’s not important. But, if you want to skip the Mission that you have to get into Bevelle, it’s not going to happen. You people aren’t happy are you? HUH!? ARE YOU!? You beg for a non-linear Final Fantasy Game and you have it, so what do you do? You complain. Twits. (Fact: Final Fantasy X-2 has various endings all depending on how much percentage you have.)
If you want to find those various endings, I suggest you go to Final Fantasy XII.com and click “Final Fantasy X-2” and then click “Endings”. Obviously, there are more than one endings so, if you don’t feel like beating the game, go here. As Raptor would say [Spoilers].
Okay, no Final Fantasy should ever have a storyline as boring and as senseless as FFX-2. I really enjoyed the game but, really, the storyline was boring! This one’s more toward the fun-ness and no so much with the deepness that you’d find in other FFs. (YAY FFVII and FFX which are two of the best...ever! That’s all I have to say about that.
Okay, now the part that everyone’s waiting for. Graphics in this you have already seen. How? The pictures are above in paragraphs and secondly, they’ve been reused from Final Fantasy X! So, read the ‘Overview’ that’ll be written soon for FFX.
Using my mixed up style of doing things, I've decided to throw this in here. Spira is brand new. Rember Kilika? Well,
Okay, so you wonder, “Oh, how will I ever get from place to place.” Well, you can walk. But, that’s to slow for you right? Nag, nag, nag, that’s all you ever do. Well, here goes nothing. (I’m going to fork over pictures.)
