People hated X-2 for years thoughI always liked it
>>333032607
yes?
You're pretty gay there OP bitch nigga
I honestly don't remember anyone actually liking X-2 having all female cast coupled with it's atmosphere and shitty Jpop songs.
>>333032607
Literally never happened
FFX-2 was considered the black sheep of the series until Xlll came out
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
>>333032663
>for years
People still hate X-2 to this very day. Kinda retarded how /v/ claims they think gameplay is the absolute most important thing in a video game and that the story isn't important at all. Yet they hate X-2 which had objectively the deepest class system in a modern Final Fantasy game at that point.
>>333032607
How to spot an underage right here. This literally never happened everyone compared it to Charlies Angels.
>>333032607
Nigga NO-ONE liked FFX2
>>333032607
X-2 is literally the best Final Fantasy game ever made
The all girl party is a huge plus
>>333033119
It is fun as fuck but everything else is crap. Especially the newly added FFXIII corridor dungeons.
XV is one of the worst games I've played, judging by the demo. Only ever played the X-2 demo. Is the HD Collection worth it? I remember a few uncomfortably awkward bits in X, even when I was 12 years old. I'm thinking of getting that or Witch and the Hundred Knight Revival.
>>333032607
People were never hyped about X-2. It may have a cool battle system, but that story is atrociously cringey and shallow
>>333033096
I CAN HEAR YOU
>>333033000
Shitty trips
Those were just dumb dudebros whining about the lack of 30-something white men with short dark hair as playable characters
>>333033271
It's closer to totally spies in my opinion but whatever, the comparison was a positive one
>>333032607
More like
>FFX2 announced
>"Is this some Charlie's Angel's shit?"
>FFXIII versus announced
>"HOLY FUCK WE CAN PLAY SASUKE"
>versus changed to XV
>it's going to be open world male only cast
>"BRO GAME!"
SquareEnix realized that boys sell better than girls after they wrapped their heads around X2 and XIII.
It's the same idea with the top watched gamers on twitch and youtube. They are almost always guys. Guys sell better than girls at everything that's not prostitution.
I hated the main characters in X-2 which is strange since Yuna didn't really bother me too much in the first one.
They acted like actual teenagers, it was obnoxious to deal with.
>>333032607
>"omg all cutans so good yuripa xD yuna a best"
The "things that never happened-o-meter" is going crazy on this one.
If you need to pull shit out of your ass to have a point, well maybe its not a point worth making.
>>333033736
I seem to remember that X-2 was hated because it has shitty plot with good gameplay
>>333033736
>"BRO GAME!"
More games need to have this aspect. I just want to wreck shit with bros
>>333032945
But I liked the atmosphere and pop songs, it was a legit fun game about a girl overcoming depression.
>>333032945
Tons of people did
There was just a very obnoxious and loud mouthed minority that cried endlessly about it being too "girly"
>game centered around female protags
>all the best characters are male
>>333032607
>FFX-2 announced
>all females
>"omg all cutans so good yuripa xD yuna a best"
yea cause that was definitely how people reacted
>>333034067
Fujoshits ruin bro stuff though
>>333034797
I did
Some of us here actually like girls
>>333034683
Because none of the trio are really GOOD characters. They're just fap bait.
FFX-2 = good gameplay and hot girls
FF15 = shit gameplay and faggots
>>333034836
no, you cancerous pleb, nobody liked the idea
it was panned horribly
>>333034631
It's the other way round anon. Most people didn't care for it but the very obnoxious and loud mouthed minority got overly defensive over their game.
I hated X-2 cause I liked X's plot and characters and this game took a big steamy dump on a lot of it.
The all female cast doesn't bother me at all, much like the all dude cast of XV doesn't matter much to me, so long as its fun and has good plot, I'm good.
>>333034917
Well I did
So you're wrong
>>333035009
BOOM
>Massaging LaBlanc
>The hot springs sequence
>Dancing and singing
>"Whose feelings are these desu"
>Dat superJap intro where it cuts to each character and freezes with their name.
>Every Character more sexualised/features pronounced.
Made my wee wee go up but also scared as fuck the family would hear.
Still, playing HD now with monster arena and it's fun as fuck. But broken as hell.
>Aquire Logos
>2 iron dukes
>Only have him know quick hit
>Feed Minerva plate for spellspring

Some shit you can do now is so much more broken than trigger-happy and cat nip.
>>333034797
No one said a single thing about it being all female.
>>333032607
What's surprising about that? More than 90% of games are male, less than 1% are gay. Obviously a game with cute girls will be way more popular.
>>333034941
I distinctly remember tons of people complaining about why it wasn't a prequel with Auron, Braska, and Jecht and tons of people complaining about how it's "girly", how it the intro song is too "girly"
Seriously the butthurt and complaining was fucking beautiful to witness
>>333034917
I did.
It was the highest selling game in Japan that year. So they did.
It sold nearly 2 million in America that year aswell.
It received 8/10 on average for review scores.
>>333032607
Back when FF X2 was released this stupid sjw/gg shitposting didn't exist. No one gave a shit it was all female and everyone was just excited for a new FF game.
How things have changed.
>>333035192
>I distinctly remember tons of people complaining about why it wasn't a prequel with Auron, Braska, and Jecht
I don't remember ANYONE wanting that and never heard it till I came to shitholes like /v/, that are populated by braindead assholes.
FFX tells you everything important that happened in Auron, Braska and Jecht's journey. A game about them would be redundant and pointless. Homo.
![ff13[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/0zNc43N.jpg "ff13[1].jpg")
This shitty trilogy also focused alot on the girls.
>>333035213
>look mommy i read a wiki article
and i was fucking alive and playing vidya when it came out, you were probably in fucking diapers you stupid little shit
the thing got panned when announced, everyone fucking hated it.
>>333032607
FFX-2 isn't exactly mainline final fantasy.
>>333035213
And its the most shunned/forgot game of the franchise amongst fans. Your point?
That people actually bought it isn't the point, of course they do. It's a fucking Final Fantasy game, itll always return investment. No the point is that fans across the planet utterly disliked the shoehorned shitfest that is that game.
>>333035303
And no one cared back then either.
>>333035002
Whatever the fuck you do, don't read past x2. They have some 30 minute audio novel that completely fucks it up.Tidus returns and breaks up with Yuna, she travels to some alternate dimension/place on an island. On that Island tidus is killed by a bomb. He is weak and frail to begin with but she wishes so hard for him to return that he comes back to life like Shuyin. Oh wait... They can actually wish someone back into life and they don't have to be unsent? Fuck it, let's resurrect fucking SIN and have Yuna and weak ass tidus try and kill it again. The cycle continues. Fucking square.
>>333033778
they are actual teenagers though, aren't they?
>>333035213
Fucking this
X-2 sold 5.5 million copies on PS2 and the remasters sold an additional 3 million
People loved it
>>333035352
>its the most shunned/forgot game of the franchise amongst fans.
Why do you make these things up?
>>333035336
I'm 32 years old. The game was well received. Your childish behavior doesn't change reality.
>>333035336
No anon, YOU HATED IT
>>333032607
It's called catering to the majority of your fanbase.
Something they have forgotten with FFXV.
>>333032607
that's some nice revisionism OP
most people hated and still hate X-poo
>>333035445
you don't seem to comprehend the fucking argument you stupid little pleb
>ANNOUNCED
you can read that right? you stupid little nigger
ITS ABOUT THE ANNOUNCEMENT RECEPTION. not about youre stupid nigger bitch wiki reading bullshit talking about review scores. its about how people received the announcement and everyone FUCKING HATED IT
>>333035213
it sold well because x was good but x-2 itself was pretty mediocre/garbage
>>333034797
his facial expressions in this gif are kind of hot tbqh.
>>333035571
>x was good
>>333035501
FF is one of the most if not the most popular and successful RPG franchises ever made. Are you seriously trying to say that the majority of its fanbase are female?
I'll make this final fantasy shit easy for you to understand.
6,7,8,9, Tactics, Crystal Chronicles, X-2 and ps2 version ff11 with a keyboard are the only games worth playing with the titles attached.
Note that tactics extends to the portables.
>>333035301
That plus it's detailed in jecht spheres anyway. Plus there would have been zero airship travel and it would have fucking sucked.
I reckon they could potentially had a game about yunalesca and the bevelle/zanarkand war. That could have actually been interesting because it seemed like machina cities would have been cool as fuck.
Also does anyone else like the fact that shinra in x2 said that he could harness the energy of the farplane and use that to power cities (but would take 100's of years) ? Basically implied that SHINRA Corp in 7 was his plans realised.
>>333035549
Why do idiots think repeating their awful shitposting but adding more swear words makes it a compelling argument?
>>333035303
I would argue that FFXIII did a lot better than FFXII.
http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy
>FF13 had 7.48 million sales
>FF13-2 had 3.45 million sales
>FF13-3 bombed up and only had 0.96 million sales
>FF12 had 5.2 million
>the sequel, Reverent Wings, had only 1.04
Of course, Reverent Wings was only for the DS which had a lot to do with its low sales. Despite this, a sequel only selling a million copies speaks volumes about FF12's forgettable qualities. FF13 got a lot of hate but the game definitely had a larger impact than 12.
>>333033119
Who cares tho the only good final fantasy is 15 and the remake of 7 since they have proper action combat.
>>333035626
yes and?
>>333035639
>sexy jailbait
>female audience
pick one, you dingbat
>>333035680
>they have proper action combat.
>hold down O to win
>>333035678
12 Was garbage and was utterly forgettable with a mess of a cast and story. I don't even give a shit if it has a rabid fanbase on /v/.
>>333032607
>yuna a best
Bait thread.
>>333035702
Did you read the post I was replying to?
Also, FF X2 was pretty much about them being stronk women and not about them being sexy jailbait.
>>333035784
She was though. Lulu was used goods and Rikku is a braindead retard.
>>333035715
Still gotta dodge and shit and switch weapons and stuff. Besides you can still play it by tapping the buttons. Still more like Kingdom Hearts than any of the turn based garbage.
>>333035835
>>333035805
I did. And you're either the densest motherfucker here or you're trolling me. Either way - good job.
>>333035835
Yuna is a fucking autismo virgin.
>>333035907
She's a responsible and brave young woman.
>virgin
>bad thing
Guido pls go
>>333032607
How insecure do you have to be to call gay at everything that involves only guys? So I take it in school you were gay, since you more that likely had an all guy clique of friends.
This juvenile shit is getting boring to read in every single thread. If you had an inkling about actual open gays, you'd know most of them exclusively hang about with girls for most of their free time.
>>333036013
How naive and ignorant do you have to be to think blatant yaoi fangirl pandering characters, dialogue and body language is anything else?
>>333032607
>shilling this hard
People call FFXV "backstreet gay" because of Noctis's and Prompto's haircuts.
>>333036070
You just proved his point, genius. You're seeing gay where it doesn't exist to try and justify yourself. Using anime buzzwords doesn't prove anything.
>>333036212
I see fujoshit pandering because I know what it looks like.
>anime buzzwords
Hello moron, this shitty game is made in Japan for Japanese people and jrpgs are anime as fuck.
>>333032607
Finally a game that emphasizes the brotherhood amongst Bros. It's literally impossible for females to be friends with someone.
>No Bitches
>Bros Only
/Deluxe/ Edition Preordered
>>333036336
>more anime buzwords
yawn
>Hello moron, this shitty game is made in Japan for Japanese people and jrpgs are anime as fuck.
Oh right, because I see Square hiring those Japanese GoT voice actors for their movie that they unveiled at their Japanese Uncovered event where they presented it in Japanese to their Japanese Audience that makes up about 25% of their total sales.
>>333032607
>Implying anon thought FFX-2 was good other then the few autistic fucks who thought its mediocre combat was good just because it wasn't the same barebones combat FF usually has.
>>333033576
Story was shit though. The only good thing it had going was the leveling system and gameplay.
>>333035678
That's outdated sales data
FF13 is at 8 million
13-2 is about right
LR is at 1.5
12 bombed for the sane reason 9 bombed
>>333036865
I liked the story more in X-2 than in X
Only thing X did better was Seymour battle and Otherworld
>>333037107
>12 bombed for the sane reason 9 bombed
Being good games?
>>333037189
They were released way too late into the generation and around the time new consoles were coming out
Same thing happened to LR
>>333037165
>I liked the story more in X-2 than in X
christ

don't lie on the internet anon
>>333032607
different times, also if a female only cast ff game was announced tomorrow you guys would be bitching about it as well, like sjws you can never be pleased.
>>333035386
That sounds balls to the walls retarded. Who wrote that shit?
>>333038302
Nojima, who was the original Scenario Writer.
>>333036865
Story was a joke in X as well, but at least X-2 knew it was a joke.
>>333038302
The very same guy writing the story for X and X-2.
X-2 probably had one of the best combat of the series.
>>333037291
X was fucking dumb
X-2 not as much
>>333038092
I'm not lying
>>333035571
X-2 was better than X
>>333038753

I have to ask. What made it less dumb than X?

I'm always surprised when I see opinions like this, but then I remember people that like the story in Cringedom Hearts exist
>>333039825
The story in X was bad
The story in KH is at least self-consistent
post X-2 ecchi pls
>>333040340
I don't really have any.
>>333039940
>The story in KH is at least self-consistent
It's really not though. KH2 introduces a boatload of retcons, and DDD has a clusterfuck time travel plot. Thematically it's not consistent either, Disney and Final Fantasy have become less and less relevant over time.
At this point you can only enjoy the story for "the ride" or stand in awe at how ridiculous it all is.
>>333040621
Oh yes and Days revolves around a literally who that gets retconned out of existence because collective memory loss.
>>333040696
Days would have more impact if Xion really was gone for good
No one fucking dies in this series, it gets boring after all.
>>333040621
I like the gameplay most of all
The story is amazing mostly for all the quotable writing and great speeches
>pitiful heartless, mindlessly collecting hearts. And yet they know not the true power of what they hold. The rage of the Keyblade releases those hearts. They gather in darkness, masterless and free, until they weave together to make Kingdom Hearts. And when that time comes, we can truly, finally exist!
>>333041141
That's a great speech to you? Egh, at least use something from Ansem in Kingdom Hearts 1, that way I can hear Billy Zane in my head.
>>333041972
It was great
The atmosphere was awesome, the mudic was beautiful and Saïx was great in his gestures and body language
>>333041141
you need to read more. Shakespear, Moby Dick, Fuck even game of thrones.
>>333042151
I like the part in Moby Dick where all the dudes jack each other off
>>333032607
X-2 was ok. Hated Yuna new design tho
>>333042151
Books don't have visuals and music accompanying them
They don't boss battles against 1000 heartless after fighting with your bros
Videogames are incomparable
It's literally comparing a circle to a sphere
>>333042294
then go out and see a play. or watch some movies, KH is like bottom of the barrel here.
>>333042238
they found their white whales that's for sure
>>333035639
Read the post again carefully.
Just sexually frustrated insecure neckbeards. If they dont see tits every 10 seconds its automatically gay. Its sad, really. Because they are the reason Japan shits out tons of Neptunia like shovelware.
combat-wise it's: XII > XV > XIII Deal with it fagtrons.
>>333042294
This goes to show your lack of imagination
>>333042648
I can barely imagine the visuals but certainly not the music
Why do you think movie directors and conposers are held in such high regard?
>>333042373
No it's not
Gameplay-wise KH2FM is the best arpg ever made
And story wise it's very entertaining
>>333042593
No they don't
Japan has patrician taste
>>333040569
FFX didn't get much doujins
Rikku was only real best girl
Lulu was a quick second
God knows why people love this game.
Which is the better version of X-2, the original or the HD remake? I don't care about the story but heard the game is supposed to be fun.
>>333043368
The remaster is better insofar that it looks a smidge better and contains shit that previously was only available in glorious Nippon.
>>333043012
because they can imagine
>>333033000
Trips to 0 to dubs to trips.
>>333043012
the story makes little to no sense with darkness thrown every where, most of the story is just retelling the original disney then throwing you in the middle.
all female is straight
all male is gay
>>333035678
Lightning returns also came out for old consoles right when people were getting the new stuff. Had it had a PS4/X1 port it would have done better. Same with that PC port. It's a good fucking game that came out at the wrong time sadly.
>>333043184
what is geralt doing there?
>>333036212
Not that anon but c'mon nigger. If you don't see the blatant pandering to fujoshits than your probably a landwhale yourself. Prior FF teams had always a good mix between male and female characters. And the male characters would strongly differ in looks and age.
>>333043753
Exactly
I'm not a director nor a composer so actual directors and composers will do it
>>333044161
He's pretty good
>>333044207
it suits the plot. in a lot of previous FF games you travel around and pick up characters from all over, so you end up with an odd bunch. in FFXV you are a bunch of friends from the start, so all roughly the same age.
>>333044459
So are you denying that FF15 cast gives a serious vibe of acting and looking like typical yaoi characters?
>came to this thread for lewd pics
>only 1 found
>>333044917
This
Oh god, I'm trying to figure out what's going on with this series, why are there games that aren't just regular numbers, is X-2 actually related to X at all? Or is it just weird naming? How many games are there?
What's actually worth playing?
>>333032607
>yo what the fuck is this backstreet gay shit where da women at bro"
Are people seriously upset by this?
I love how silly they all look, I have no problems with girls in games looking unrealistic likewise I have no problem with guys.I don't think X2 was well received by an all female cast, I remember a friend calling me a pervert for playing it.
HD remake forvitaor PCSX?
>>333046105
They're all pretty much indipendent
X-2 is a direct sequel to X
X-2 is also a prequel to VII
Dissidia 012 is a prequel to Dissidia which is a prequel to I
XII and Tactics are in the same universe
LR is a sequel to XIII-2 which is a sequel to XIII
Basically if a game has a roman numeral in the title it's related to a mainline game
And mainline games are independent
Play them all
>>333033349
I liked it.
