Such basic rpg elements are missing such as gear stats, character levels, and is instead replaced with a unnecessary convoluted "sphere grid" as the only source of growth for your characters. Most of the time, when you finally get out of cutscenes, the overworld is dull and boring.
Camera angles gave borderline headaches from how rapidly they jump and nonsensical they were.
For whatever reason when the countless tutorials pop up to explain it, it specifies you must use the touch screen to pull them up. There are menus that you literally cannot access while in docked mode. Having never played the original on the PS2 I came into this fresh of mind and hoping to have a great time playing. Having never played the original on the PS2 I came into this fresh of mind and The reviews on this game seem to often be biased by nostalgia. The reviews on this game seem to often be biased by nostalgia. FF X-2 is not a horrible game, just that it's compared to a masterpiece of PS2 RPGs :). To sum up, considering the current price and the amount of time you will play FF-X alone.I can only warmly recommend this J-RPG. I have to say that on rare occasions I had some bugs in FF-X HD that forced me to restart the game.I was stuck in combat with no menu (prize or combat). I don't know, a J-RPG takes a lot of time to accomplish, maybe if you are a hardcore FF/J-RPG fan, and you have video-game time to spare, give FF X-2 a go, there's still some good ideas here and there, but not FF-X territory. That bold "job" system, back in the time was also quite futuristic and broke the traditional systems. FF-X ending set a tone also that I lost here, FF-X is violent, dark, sad.I think the tone of FF X-2 disrespects FF-X lore and story. It's more fan service with people revisiting Spira and seeing character X or Y.but with far less depth compared to FF-X HD. I feel it was more of an experimental J-RPG targeted at a whole different audience, I think a restricted character pool, an all-female cast was a bold idea and under the right circumstances it can be really a good idea, but the game is a bad execution of that idea. FF X-2 HD is, meh, not up to FF-X, story-wise it's really not a good epilogue for me. The difficulty of the final boss, whilst not horrible, it's challenging, especially if you are not a perfectionist who will seek the strongest weapons and customizations :). The story has a dark, philosophical aspect I really liked, memories, dreams, death, life, friendship, connections.I feel it's more mature, different compared to many other J-RPG. The story has a dark, philosophical FF X HD is a masterpiece, I found the lack of level, replaced with the grid system quite "avant-gardiste".
