@MAZ0HYST i actually thought ff12 and ff13 were worse than ff10-2 but i know this is terrible i preferred rikku and yuna in ff10 but although i do not like this game i like the songs real emotion and 1000 words i think my favourite final fantasy's are 4-6 and 7-10 i hate ff2 with a passion so ff10-2 12 13 and 2 are terrible
This is a song you can dance to! (makes a very bad attempt at the hare hare yukai dance) ps. who here thinks Rikku and Paine kick some serious tail? Cmon' you know their awesome! =3
I hate X-2 , Yuna from innocent girl became... slutty girl,i can't feel her love for tidus,it's not the same like in FFX , it's like she completely changed her character,which is pretty sad thing. Real FFX fans know what am i talking about.
He didn't die. He really never existed. He was but a dream. so he never really died. Just faded. And there is an ending he comes back to reality.. But doesn't explain how.
What happened to Lulu, Wakka, and Kimaharie? (spelled wrong) I still havent beat final fantasy 10 because I cant beat the Last Seymore battle ( right before the Spring Scene:() so I have no Idea what happened
@Bf2FlyBoy i agree, i liked X-2, gameplay and story was pretty good, XII was bad...to political and not enough fantasy, bad story, bad gameplay, 13 was pretty good, good gamplay and story, brilliant combat...final fantasy vs 13 is looking brilliant though, its looking like a modern FF7...so far 7, 8 and 10 are my favourites
There was no reason for Vaan and Penelo and they complicated and distracted from the narrative. There's a grand story going on about war between two nations and history and politics and magic evil overlords and vengeful princesses, which gets smashed and covered over by Vaan killing (and then probably eating, let's be honest here) rats in the sewer and doing gruntwork.
@inuyashaxx thing is thats the most common type of story setting, a big bad evil empire trying to take over something to gain such and such ultimate power, maybe slightly more political but that doesn't matter.
too much technology as well, and 13 is worst...
hardly magical like compared to its betters such, square focusing more on how pretty it looks and neglecting story.
and i put my vote for worst ff on 11, it was an fing mmo, make it a fing side game, like the chocobo games, or tactic's.
@1990rms ya the final fantasy group broke up(or so i was told) and moved on to other companies after 10, it was probably square trying to keep it alive which gave birth to 10-2
I havent tried this game yet... I almost beat final fantasy 10 after not being able to put it down for the last 20 hours of gameplay. is this game worth going out to get. the only thing I can see, is lulu was replaced with some HO and rikkus hair is WAYYY cooler.
Lol this was a ok game, not too good as 7 8 and 9. :P But when i got to Aeons it got ridiculously hard all of a sudden and trained to level 72 then went back and figured out it was ezpz xD!!! to much of a sudden change in the level caps.
Hope people notice that its not Yuna singing its the villan of the serries -__- Yuna does sing well in the ending though XD and the real singer of this song does the dance also a lot better then the english singer and the Japanese singer Kumi Koda has a english version as well. . .
Really? wow. go for the oldies (PS system) FF's like FF7 and FF8. Especially FF7 (downfall: FF7 copies are freaking expensive). Ur starving yourself you haven't even heard of it.
i like the singing but the corneyness... like everything wut rikku sais shes kool sumtimes but...gives me pin's and needles... paine is always gonna be koool thoo!!

I can't believe that Final Fantasy has come to this. The difference between Final Fantasy 10-2 and the SNES Final Fantasies is unbelievable. The only fantasy in the new ones is this science fiction crap.
Ha ha! I love how people come on YouTube, search a Final Fantasy vid, and then accuse those people of having no life. Hmmmmmm yeah like we FF fans have no life just coz we like a (brilliant) video game. But hey, we don't go around searching a video just to tell people to get a life. You clearly have too much time on your hands Ephereon. Get a life. A hobby. A girlfriend? Wait, one step at a time here
Alot of people would disagree with you, i'm not one of them, i like both of them to be honest, but alot of people where disappointed about the ending to FFX, infact, it was rated the worst final fantasy game because of the ending. some people just don't apreciate certain things
well if you think about it there is no blaming them, you do all that hard work, all of those boss battles (that seymore is a pain in the ass) and you get an ending like that. i'm not saying there is anything wrong with the ending but normaly people like the main character to not die at the end. beacause people didn't like FFX very much, square enix decided to make FFX-2 so without FFX being the worst rated final fantasy game, we wouldn't have gotten FFX-2
Technically he didn't die because he was never actually alive when he came to spira, but yes I didn't want him to die, and yes Seymore is a huge pain in the ass. I think the alternate endings in ffx-2 are really cool tho.
WOOOOOOOOOW.Your obviously wrong. Final Fantasy X was so highly praised that it's fan base bacame enormous. Due to that SE released the short video of Rikku giving Yuna a sphere of who seemed to be Tidus, SE did this to give something to those fans who wanted more. However, this video made people go crazy and want even more yet, thus X-2 was created. Also, FFX definately wasn't the worst rated FF. You know... it's not a good habit to blatently lie. FFX is epic, and has an epic-shocking ending.
Lie? I'm sorry, but I am expressing what I know, not what I've made up. I appreciate your opinion on how FFX-2 was made and what you thought of the ending so I think you should appreciate mine and stop any arguement from starting
i love yuna and the other characters and to answer onewingedmemory i'm a true fan of ff and if you think that i'm not a true fan it's because you haven't understand the story of ff X and X-2 because it's amazing kiss everybody
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
omg anyone who loves this vid is not a true ff fan
Square Enix was SO out of order to actually make this sequel the music is Dance-y garbage the plot is weak and who actually cares about Yuna anyway? everyone i know who is a true ff-er all agreed this was the weakest game EVER and Square Enix should just have left ff 10 as it was. Really sad and one of the best games SquareSOFT ever made. if you want a game with a good female character go play ff9. Beatrix is the best female character EVER
