Forums - Gaming Discussion - Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD or Child of Light?

What an odd comparison. Both are great games, but there's a MASSIVE difference in scale here. Child of Light can be completed 100%, started in New Game +, and completed 100% again in about 10-15 hours, without a walkthrough. DLC would stretch it to 20, maybe. Probably not. To complete Final Fantasy X alone 100% would probably take 60-80 hours, double that when X-2 is included.

Asking whether to get FFX/X-2 HD or Child of Light is like asking whether to get Super Mario Galaxy or Cloudberry Kingdom. If you like RPGs, you'll want to get both, but which you get first will depend on how much time and money you feel like investing in your next game.


You said all that and still didn't answer the question. LOL

Yes I did answer the question. I said "If you like RPGs, you'll want to get both, but which you get first will depend on how much time and money you feel like investing in your next game."

Instead of FF10/10-2, I recommend this.  Not only do you get a physical copy of the much better FF10-2, you don't have to play FF10, which in itself is its own reward.

Someone that likes 10-2 but not 10? Now that is a rarity :O

Most of the music on Final Fantasy 10 was good, but the game itself was crap.  Final Fantasy 10-2 takes the world of Final Fantasy 10 and improves upon it's flaws, while having an equally bad story that's atleast well written and has okay voice acting(although FF10 did also.)

Now first off, here's what I wrote about Final Fantasy 10 in a recent thread.  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6531579

Final Fantasy 10-2 does have the same world map as Final Fantasy 10, but one thing about Final Fantasy 10 is that you start with an airship at the very beginning of the game.  You can go anywhere in the world map you want, or you can do quests in the game whether your main quest to progress the story or any of the available side quests. 

The gameplay is what sets it apart though.  Final Fantasy 10-2 has one of the best combat systems in the series.  It has the class system of Final Fantasy 5 with a larger variety of skills and characters can now switch classes mid battle to what would benefit them.  Learning new skills is similar to Final Fantasy Tactics although it's better in FFTactics as you can save your points, while any points gained on FF10-2 go directly towards the  skill you have chosen to learn.  After learning skills, new skills open up. Btw.  You know how Kimahri is a blue mage and can't use his skills at any time.  There's a blue mage class in this game and the skills are actually useful since yeah, you don't have to have a limit break in order to use the skills.

No required class to be able to hit or damage a certain enemy except elemental damage, and with only three characters, no having to purposely slow the games pacing down by defending with characters so you can feed them exp since they rarely ever participate in battle if you play efficiently.



Child of Light is not even in the same ballpark.

P4G and ff9 rotate as my fav games of all time! FFx is amazing! if it is your first ff game, dont judge the brand on ff x2, i personally found it awful! Child of light is a great game, it is far shorter, but still beautiful in it's own right! So basically, go with ffx if you want a grand epic, and child of light if you feel the need to scratch your artsy itch!



Diggin child of light right now, already through ffx hd
Both are great.
@child of light:
Im at the crow village and afraid that it might end soon. How many hours have i left since their are only x chapters ? :(
