tbh, X-2 is really more of a girly game
not as in barbie snowland etc. kinda games but it was more focused towards the female gamers.
at least, that was my opinion after playing it for a little bit...

That's a misconception. It's really no more effeminate than Final Fantasy X, except for the fact that your party is made up of women. But come on, those women are using handguns, swords, thievery, all sorts of awesome stuff. Saying FFX-2 is girly is sort of like saying Metroid games are girly simply because the protagonist happens to be female. Also, once you get farther into the game you realize it's not all sunshine and lollypops and that there's a fairly deep and somewhat disturbing storyline to the game.

I thought that might be the case. A lot of people stop early on and don't give the game a fair shot.
im a HUGE FF fan. and i thought xii was utterly CRAP! the combat system was just rediculous. definently go with X and X-2 is also a very good game. X-2 has one of the greatest combat system really gets you invovled!!!
X, it's the only Final Fantasy that stands up when it comes to the quality of the script/writing and plot integration (it's also my favorite game on the PS2).
XII dropped the ball by forsaking the strong narrative that has traditionally been an integral part of the FF series for non-linearity.

I don't recommend XII... It's a disgrace to all FF lovers... Well, that's just my opininon. Some people seem to like it though. The only good thing about XII is the setting, Ivalice.

I agree. Final Fantasy XII sacrificed everything in order to have a massive world and innovative new action-turn-based RPG combat system. I love that combat system, and I love how they're going to incorporate it in every Final Fantasy from now on (which was stated in an interview somewhere)... but they sacrificed characters you care for to get that done. I loved every single secondary character in Final Fantasy X/X-2, but if you asked I couldn't even name one from XII. Basically XII comes down to gameplay over, well, everything else.
Oh, and pristinemog, I edited your post to include a spoiler tag. Remember, the person who started this topic hasn't played the game yet.
