What was going through their mind when Square enix decided to make FFX-2?
>>321401440
They became aware that there's a lot of money to be made from fanservice.
Waifus and dress up which incidentally are a big part of Lightning Returns which Toriyama also directed. Go figure.
>>321401782
This
Toriyama decided he wanted a game with cute girls being cute and got a couple of jpop songs with sexy clothes thrown in and the best ff combat until then
It's no surprise it became the best mfinal fantasy game ever
>>321401440
Money and fun?
They accomplished both, so I'd say well played.
Money but hey besides the story and them absolutely destroying blitzball it was fun a game.
>address linearity of FFX
>make fun game
>appeal to teenagers who crid very tiem when Teetus die
>make fucking bank since the game already had 70% of the assets from the previous one to re-use
Now, real question is who the fuck decided to make the sequel novels and shit
they originally wanted Jecht Braska & Auron as the focus for another X game but thought an all male party would be boring so we got X-2 instead.
>you know what FF needs? Good battle system
>What else? Cute girls doing cute things
It's almost perfect. Only FF13-3 tops it.
do not sexualize the leblanc
>>321402916
>cute girls huh, so Yuna, Rikku and Lulu
>oh no, no Lulu, there's a bath scene I wanna put in and we don't want people to have heart attacks
>>321401440
>What was going through their mind
confirmed, square enix is a hivemind
FF X-2 and Lightning Returns the best modern FF games
>>321403405
Lulu was knocked up, yet still wearing a tight corset near term.
Heart attacks was right. They spared us some body horror there.
>>321405831
She also decided to take a stroll in an island full of fiends.
Lulu is hardcore
>>321401440
A lot of people like to blame Square Enix for X-2, but it was actually made by Squaresoft.
>>321401440
>Let's make a theoretically good battle system but then fuck it up by making it too easy and full of redundant options
>>321406093
same thing
>>321401440
>Let's make money.
>tfw step father got in my room right at that point in the game
>>321406093
X-2 was a good game
>>321402849
Sausage fests > Axe wound fests
>>321406268
Some people think the merge with Enix ruined everything.
>>321405831
I love how they didn't make a new body model for pregnant Lulu
They actually made Wakka slightly fatter but Lulu was as sexy as ever
>>321406068
Well she's possibly the most powerful black mage in Spira
>>321401440
How does one satisfy this little slut?
>>321401440
Money. There's never been a good direct rpg sequel
>>321406590
Baldur's Gate 2
The transition from FFX to FFX-2 is essentially what happens when you abandon God and let yourself be shrouded by degeneracy.
>>321406590
>Money. There's never been a good direct rpg sequel
X-2 was good
>>321406590
>what is Raidou 2 and Baldur's gate 2
>>321406546
9 inches
>>321401440
Leblanc is the best, she should have been playable. Her outfits would have been too lewd, though.
>>321402275
>Waifufags actually believe this
>>321406729
Agreed, Leblanc is by far the best character in the game. How entertaining the game is directly correlates with her screentime.
>>321406590
>what is Tales of Xillia 2?
>>321406327
>inb4 how an rpg and cute girls got anon molested by his stepfather and acquired some weird fetish post
What are the best dresses?
Currently running default warrior PAINE and Gunner Yuna. Gunner seems like shit though.
Switched Rikku to a white mage. Getting shell and protect right off the bat is kind of broken.
>Implying the dress sphere system isn't the best FF combat system yet
>>321406758
>X-2 and Lighting Returns are bad!
>>321406721
>hangs out in a party with a hulking man-cat with something to prove because busted horn for weeks
>thinks nine inches is enough for that slut
>>321406935
>I choke on Toriyama's dick all day everyday!
>>321406895
>ATB
no thanks
>>321406590
mass effect 2
>>321405831
FFX2 has the laziest reusing of assets I've ever seen
>>321406990
You make a good point
The how big is Gippal since Rikku is clearly after his dick?
>>321407126
Play any SMT game, Raidou 2 is almost 100% reused assets
>>321407013
I guess you hate good gameplay.
Go read a book.
>>321407359
Okay pal, will do
>>321407058
You are wrong
>>321407126
>two years since the Yevon religion disbanded
>people in Spira still wearing Yevonite garbs
It was pretty bad.
>>321401440
>high fantasy setting for the first game
>yuna starts the second game only a few years latter with 2 9mm pistols
what the fuck?
>>321407492
It still exists, but it's called New Yevon or something.
I don't remember how they justify it.
>>321407581
>high fantasy
It was post apocalyptic/fantasy.
I liked the soundtrack.
Especially the piano renditions.
>>321407058
Are we calling ass effect a real rpg
>yuna becomes the savoir of the world in the first game, higher than a high summoner
>nobody seems to recognise her and treats her like everyone else
>>321407581
>high fantasy
Oh god
>>321407581
>FFX
>first thing you see in spira after freezing temple is a decked out salvage cruiser, and a high-tech facility under the sea with functioning electric power
>machina known to everyone, just outlawed becase muh religion
>heretic niggers shooting lightning cannons at shit
>religion that bans machines has anti-grav robots, firearms, flamethrowers
>surprised a character has pistols next game
Anon...
>>321407658
New Yevon isn't a religion so much as it is a philosophy and way of life that focuses on not letting Spira get completely overwhelmed by progress.
>replayed FFX-2 a year ago
>PC's PSU died and fried EVERYTHING except my fucking soundcard
>lost all my save states and my 90% (100% run) progress with it
I can't get myself to replay and read all that shit in the guide again. That said, FFX-2 gameplay > *.
>>321407581
>FFX
>high fantasy
I know it's Christmas but aren't you hitting the egg nog a little too early?
>>321406590
Lunar 2.
>>321401440
Fanservice and waifu baiting to easy money. Which is a shame because it's a good game systems-wise, but they fucked up everything else in it. Well, to be fair, I just didn't like where it went because I couldn't care less about Yuna, Riku or Paine as characters.
>dat feel when we'll never get a game about Auron, Jecht and Braska on their zany adventures
>>321401440
Money.
>>321401440
>>make a good game that doesn't take itself too seriously with pretty girls
seriously, game play wise ff x-2 is the most rewarding final fantasy. I thought it was fucking lame when it first came out but it really is objectively the best ff since it's kind of non-linear and offers a challenge that isn't "grind and win"
>>321408132
That party has the problem that its too serious all the time.I still would have liked to see it, though.
I can never get an answer to this
Does leveling up in a job (say, warrior) affect the stats of other jobs? (more hp/less mp as a mage than a pure mage) Or does each job have it's own stat growth chart?
>>321408440
>Does leveling up in a job (say, warrior) affect the stats of other jobs? (more hp/less mp as a mage than a pure mage) Or does each job have it's own stat growth chart?
Yes.
>>321407839
>>321408440
Maybe
#FE is like a spiritual successor to the madness of FFX-2
>>321411145
too bad Fire Emblem is garbage
>>321406546
I don't think there's enough cock in the whole world of Spyra to even pursue the idea of satisfying her. She would have to build a dimensional portal to enter our world and even then it's not guaranteed that all the dick from our world would make her at least blink.
>>321406884
Gunner IS shit, Yuna should white mage all day every day.
>>321406590
>There's never been a good direct rpg sequel
FFX-2
>>321411785
We might as well try
>>321406721
call mike matei
>>321411849
Nigga, Trigger Happy with Catnip is the best thing in the game.
