Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! ::runs around panicking:: This is a disaster. There’s no way in hell I’m going to get any work done this Christmas now. Must… buy… game… I’m generally not into the final fantasy series. I sortof liked 6 and 7, but not amazingly so, was bored by the earlier ones and apalled by 8 (I never even picked up 9). My sister had a copy of 10, and in a moment of extreme boredom I picked up the controller and started to play. When I put the controller down the summer holidays had ended. Too addictive. FFX-2 looks neat. Not much like a final fantasy game, but that isn’t really a bad thing. I’m just apalled that the main character doesn’t have spiky hair and a sword. 🙂 ---

I tried to pick it up at a few places on Tuesday, but they all told me they didn’t have it yet. If I can’t find it tonight, I’m going out tomorrow and not coming home until I have it. Must have it! Must have this game, I say! ---

The only thing that bothers me is the truly awful music. It sounds like porn. Doesn’t stop me from wanting to play it 24/7, though. ---

Got the game Wednesday. I’m leaving for Europe in three hours. I wonder if I could bring my PS2 as carry-on? Geez. A week of debauchery in Amsterdam, or Final Fantasy X-2? Decisions, decisions… [good-natured nitpick] **lola** , there’s no “a” in “horde”[/good-natured nitpick] ---

Since Nobuo Uematsu wasn’t doing any of the musical composition for _this_ FF game (I think the first and only FF game he hasn’t composed for so far), I was kind of skeptical of what to expect. In my opinion, Uematsu is a musical genius, and _one_ of the reasons I can’t wait for FFXII. My wife (God bless her!) just bought me this game today, so I can’t wait to try it out tonight. 🆒 LilShieste ---

I picked it up Tuesday & am about 35 hours into it (right at Killika in Chapter One). Spent a lot of time wandering around learning skills and leveling up. Have 2-3 jobs completed on all characters. I like this game very much, except I hate the damn mini-games! ---

Being a Rikku fanboy of a disturbing level (Rikkurikkurikku! \<- Conditioned response), I had to get this. ^\_\_^; It’s pretty good so far. Don’t much like the translated version of the theme, though - should have kept the Japanese version. Not like anyone listens to the lyrics. ---
