I bought it close to release even though I was pretty sure of what I was getting myself into, I had a gift card so I went with it. X-2's story, characters, and everything that was holy in FFX was beaten with a whore bat covered in sequence and nail polish. Granted I got the ABSOLUTE WORSE F U ENDING, which I think most people are destined to get their first playthrough. Probaby the best thing about this game is the combat system. It is class bassed on your costume that you change in mid fight, kind of like FF13 but more diverse in skill set and the combat doesn't turn into a tug a war, it stays true to what you'd expect from a FF, like FFX. Other good things are probably side quest type stuff where you can actually do more than progress the main story, there is even a pit with levels and harder and harder monsters. So good gameplay in a terribly canon desimnating package.
