Amazon.co.uk Review
Final Fantasy X-2 is the first-ever direct sequel to appear in Square's legendary Final Fantasy series of role-playing adventure games. Here the emphasis is placed squarely on the all-female trio of adventurers who make up the player's role-playing team. At the forefront is Yuna, of Final Fantasy X, who makes a heroic return just in time for another wild adventure. What's more, these girls have more about them than most all-girl manufactured pop groups; then, too, they remain at the cutting edge of fashion throughout the game, thanks to a system of costume changes. The game itself is classically typical of the series, sending players on epic missions in a fantastical world of monsters and spectacular otherworldly scenery. This is not a game you'll play for a couple of hours and then forget: Final Fantasy X-2 demands attention--tens of hours' worth. X-2 is a most interesting experiment: the series' feminine side has never been played on as strongly as it has here, and twee features such as Japanese pop music and sporting events feature more prominently than ever before. But it's more than a mere tangent--at its core, Final Fantasy X-2 is a cracking RPG. --Jonti Davies

 Chauvanistic rubbish August 28, 2008
Jenesis (UK)
As a woman, I am quite insulted by how women are portrayed in this game. I defy you to find an outfit - sorry, "Dress Sphere" - that isn't either incredibly revealing, shamelessly erotic or both (alright, with the exception of the Mascot full-body suit). To make things worse, Rikku and Yuna both squeal all the time like 12-year-old teenyboppers on ecstasy.
The mission system, while alright in itself, has some flaws. Namely, if you just follow the game through you will miss most of the storyline (and be incredibly weak at the final boss). It's one of those games where you have to constantly visit GameFAQs to find out where to get much-needed items and equipment.
I can't really recommend this game, unless you really want to know what happens to Yuna and the gang, or unless you have a thing about watching scantily clad women bouncing around toting pistols.
 Mediocre rpg July 16, 2008
Mr. D. Joseph (UK)
I really have to say, I was greatly disappointed with this title. The wait seemed like ages for this to come out, and was it worth the wait? NOPE! SquareEnix what are you doing?!
I gave this game 3 stars, because it isn't TOO bad, and I suppose worth buying for a tenner or so. But, if you are looking for a really good Final Fantasy rpg, then I would suggest ANY of the others.

Most ff fans say this is the worst from the series but i say it's one of the best so what if there was some changes and the were not many changes anyway! great gameplay 10/10 must buy!
Like many others I didn't really go for the changes made here. July 7, 2008

The setting seems alien to that of FFX which is dadt because this is a direct sequel. The style has little to do with the previous game and the altered levelling up system is a bit rubbish as well. not a good final fantasy game, but taken alone its a fair game. just not great.
 Pick-up-and-drop or play-a-lot. June 21, 2008
Mr. A. M. HOGG (London, UK)
I found this game to be rather fun, even though it came at the end of my PS2 era before going back to PC gaming.
I was not a big fan of earlier FF games (just not my style) but picked this one up on some weird impulse, as it was supposed be different. And is it. I'm not sure about the girlieisation, or the way the dresspheres work. But the action-point style combat was more fluid than I thought.
Things that impressed me:-
Graphics: Very good, Japanese-cartoony as one expects from anime style visualisation.
Setting: One of the few "worlds" that contains technology and magic, but doesn't fall on it's face.
Story: Reasonable, about what I would expect from this sort of game.
Music: A bit teen/girlie but (as anticipated given the box art and trailer I'd seen), but better than expected.
The only thing I really disliked was how fussy the game is to get the "full 100%" game-over/outtro, not that the regular "good" one is that bad though. Effectively requiring you to play the game solidly through 100% not missing the tiniest detail. Twice. Was quite annyoyed when I found that out. Minus one star of the "fun rating" for that.
Summary: Good game that I think should only disappoint a macho dude or a hardcore fan of the older format of FF games.
