Didn't seem any shorter than other games of its ilk. It wasn't supposed to be an RPG, you know. Just because it had the Square label doesn't mean it had to last thirty hours.

I think it looks a great game, can't wait for it to drop on the doormat tomorrow morning.

Gah, moaning people.
How about a little respect for Square for trying something a little different?

They could quite easily have left it exactly the same as FFX.
But along with the same locations, same people and same look I'm sure that'd get even more complaints.

If you like games which last about 3 hours.

Hey, The Bouncer was good.

I haven't played alot of the Final Fantasys but i do know that FFX is a good one to start with as it is the beggining of a totally different story, so i decided that i wouldn't get X-2 because of the following:

1. I haven't got enough money cos im also preordering SOCOM 2 and by my calculations i will only be left with a tenner which i have already spent on getting FFX (It should arrive at my house by Saturday.

2. I wont get the story as i haven't played FFX.

Please tell me if i made a wise decision on getting FFX and then getting X-2 afterwards.

When you think this was the first ever FF sequel, and as such had a huge level of anticipation, you can draw no other conclusion other than this game is a huge disappointment.

Spiritual summoner turned teeny-bop relic hunter - I think not.

They should have done a sequel to FF7 or at the very least made this game credible.

A low point in the FF series for me I am afraid.

Yeah I got Ergheiz (sp?). A bit of a disappointment, but it was fun to kick ass real-time as Cloud.

I think I'm a bit of a completist, I tend to jump at just about anything they pump out. I got the rather tragic Ergheiz and decided to be a little bit wary of their spin off series. Quite glad I didn't pick up The Bouncer and Chocobo Racing now!

It was a shame about Ergheiz too, They could make a pretty wicked fighting game with all classic FF characters, it was just lacking in any form of depth and finish ... which is a surprise for a Square product.

The battle system looks awesome.

Yay!
