Final Fantasy X-2 (PlayStation 2)

common sense media says

Fighting evil takes back seat to challenges.


parents & educators say

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this game focuses more on tasks and stabilizing the world than on fighting evil. Because it's complex, it has many diversions and detours, and it may frustrate young players. Best for early teens.

More on Final Fantasy X-2

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the game's focus on female characters. Is the feel much different from fantasy role-playing games focused on male characters? If so, how?

What's the story?

What's the story?

FINAL FANTASY X-2 is based on three female characters, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine. The basic story line focuses on Yuna and her quest to find and reunite with her long-lost friends from the previous Final Fantasy game.

The makers of Final Fantasy X-2 incorporated a new battle strategy that offers countless opportunities for exploration and task-solving in Mini games, which potentially can add well over 40 or 50 hours of play time to the game.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

The story line is more focused on quests related to relationships and world-building, as opposed to encountering and conquering endless evil monsters. There is plenty of battle action, but the overall feel to this game is one of challenges and emotional depths rather than simply charging ahead into the fray.

Final Fantasy X-2 is more task-oriented than many role-playing games, including the previous games in this series. Fans of detailed story lines that have an overarching and complex theme will be disappointed with the reliance on mini-diversions, which may keep the player busy but don't necessarily add to the overall impact of the main story or the characters.

Great Game!
This would be a great game for early teens, this game can get really confusing and it may be to complicated to understand what their talking about sometimes.

Sequel to X delivers
This game is pretty good. The game was more girly than the original but hey they make up for it. The battle system is worse that X-1 but I'm not complainingg. We miss the sphere grid, but levels make the game much faster. The violence is what you would expect from final fantasy (you clunk the enemy on the head and eventually passes away). Now I would say a girl could play this at any age. But guys like me and my friends are another story. Well if the boy is inbetween 2 (hey I started then) and 10 would probably think the girls' clothing is odd, but someone 11+ will uhhhh..... you know..... enjoy their outfits more..... getting older has pluses..... lets just say that the clothing was a thing guys helped with. Enjoyable game.

Scantily-clad girls kick monster butt. I'm not a big YRP fan, but it is a good game. Like most every RPG Square Enix pulls out, it's a good, solid RPG. The only real iffy things are the violence (without bloodshed) and the dress-up system. Like the Sphere-Grid system in FFX, it confused the heck outta me. ^^; The thing turning me off to this game is the YRP factor. Dressing the girls up in cute costumes is fun, but a little degrading for a girl like me to see those tiny outfits. o.o Definitely geared towards boys, but it's still a solid RPG. If you wanna waste 40+ hours of your life, please do pick up this game. It's worth the waste. ^_^

Great Game!
I love this game! It is amazing! Now for the issues: 1. The girls' outfits in the game don't cover up much. There is a dress grid, but the girls' outfits only change during battle. The grid could cover them up more, but as I said, it's only during battle. Other female characters wear clothing that doesn't cover them up. 2. Violence is ok. Basically you just whack a fiend until it falls to the ground and fades away. There isn't any blood. *SPOILER* Two important characters to the plot of the game get shot down by soldiers. 3. There is only mild language, and the only time I heard anything was near the beginning of the game where one of the girls says to kick the monster's a**. Those are basically the only problems I found in the game. Overall it's really good and i enjoyed it a lot.
