Btw, I played FFX-2 thrice (all times 100%) and there are a lot of things that I enjoy from it, such as the battle system, the dress sphere system and the Last Mission mode (I bought a JP copy just for that mode). However, when you get the gem of a story that was FFX and then you put FFX-2 at it's side, you get the feeling that something was lost along the way.

If they had focused on Yuna alone instead of the whole YRP thing, I believe that FFX-2 would have been much better.

Oh, and I can't forgive them for ruining Blitzball!

Yeah, Blitz was not nearly as good.

Also, 100%x3? Dude, with or without guides? The game had such a screwed up completion metric that I never managed 100%. I didn't feel that anything was lost, by the way. Also, last mission mode? What's that? (looks at PAL copy)

I only used a guide for the first playthrough, though most of the times it wasn't needed. Only real cases of needing a walkthrough was for marriage/publicity sidequests and memorizing the chapter-exclusive events.

Last Mission was the "international" version released only in Japan. It added two extra dress spheres and an entire new sidequest located in Yadonoki Tower, where you had to capture monsters, bosses and even characters from FFX (like Auron, Tidus and Seymour) in a Monster Arena look-alike. You would then unlock an extra boss which was much more powerful than Trema and Paragorn combined.

Awsnap, I think I added an import to my list ;)

Man, I have so many new games that need completion! I don't know how soon I'll be getting back to the past... but I gotta say... how do the hell do you manage that stuff? How long did it take you? I'm just amazed at such tanacity in RPG's - I just don't bother dedicating the time/effort and I HATE HATE HATE using guides. They ruin the flow.

Nowadays I just don't have the time to have the same game time I used to have, but before I used to game a lot. I believe my first playthrough was around the 80 hour mark, the second was much faster and the third (which was the Last Mission playthrough) was around 120 or so.

Don't get me started on my four FFXII, 110+ hours playthrough or my FFX 300+ hours save xD

Sometimes I look back and think I dedicated way too much time into gaming. Thankfully the people close to me understand my passion for it and let me be (my GF is also an avid gamer as well), otherwise I might have missed out on a lot.

Anyway, I think we're both derailing the thread It's best if we continue this convo on the walls.
