One of the best Final Fantasy titles ever in terms of straight-up gameplay. And yes, I'm a hardcore fan of the series

User Rating: 9.6 | Final Fantasy X-2 PS2
X-2 takes place some time after X and finds Yuna ditching her staff and long dress for twin guns and short shorts. Along for the ride are X-vet Rikku and a newcomer, Paine. These self-proclaimed "hunters" hop around Spiria, searching for spheres that help unravel the mystery of Tidus's disappearance. The whole setup is awkward at first, but it gradually takes hold for an engrossing quest.

The urgency and oh-so-serious tone of X has been replaced by something more relaxed and playful as is mirrored in the voice characterizations. In keeping with the lighter tone, there's plenty of Charlie's Angels--esque posing, and embarrassing dialogue never seems to be in short supply. Despite the disarming appearance, combat is fierce and challenging, and the Garment system offers surprising depth, especially when you begin to discover hidden dresses scattered across Spiria.
