45. Final Fantasy X-2 (2003)
Dropping from 26; I don't think I've ever simultaneously enjoyed and hated a game so much at the same time as while playing this game. Let's get the formalities out of the way; story, characters and annoyingly long dress sphere changes were a disappointment compared to X. Fortunately, the gameplay was wonderful. Once again having the ability to choose your characters class was a major plus and adding in that you could customize how you switched between them in battle was fascinating. The faster paced battle system that I usually dislike seemed to fit right in as well. On top of that the airship hub which allowed you to travel where you want and create opportunities for exploration of a different side of the world from X was enjoyable. Finally, they catered to my obsessive nature with a completion percentage for choosing different paths through the game, which is something I probably shouldn't but celebrating.
Primarily an RPG player but have interest in any game that will make me think.
