X-2 had a great battle system. That’s it. I wish they put that battle system in game that wasn’t a J-Pop knock off of Charlies Angels featuring the FFX cast.
As for XII, I always wondered what that game would have been like if Matsuno didn’t have his failing out with Square and we got his complete vision for the game. I honestly found FFXII to be boring and hated the gambit system. I get what they were going for, I just didn’t care for it. Also Vaan and Penelo shouldn’t have been in the game and Balthier should have been the protagonist.

I understand if people liked the battle system but literally everything surrounding it was so goddamn terrible.
I thought it was boring too, it felt like a single-player MMO at times. The dungeons always felt like a slog. I got to that one tower that dragged on forever and I called it quits shortly after that.
I also thought the game would have been way more enjoyable if the combat was real-time. I didn’t get the point of being able to move around in real-time while still being tied down to a turn-based combat system, it didn’t make sense. I remember running around in circles waiting for ATB bars to fill up and shit.

Funny you say that as the US English PS1 version has a different translation that the US English Win 95/98 version. I think Aerith is snarkier in the Win 95/98 edition that she is in the PS1 version.
I think mostly that has to do with the PC localization team taking liberties with the translation and understanding native English speakers better.
The two also play slightly differently with different sets of bugs and glitches.
The US PS1 version based on the original Japanese version (which was glitchy and had parts of the game missing from the final product) and the Windows version started with a beta copy of the Japanese PS1 game. Both localization teams decided to to bug fixing and complete previously uncompleted sections, most notably the additional WEAPONS boss fights.

I just dropped 3 gs on the massage for cloud and this is the most awkward hilarious thing thus far in the game. Cloud might need to change his pants.

Is it as awkward as Leblanc’s massage from X-2?
That’s because a lot of FF 12 was made to be similar to 13 (the first MMO they did).
I liked 12 a lot but didn’t go too far in it.
Never played x-2
x-2 was a bad game. The script was cringe and the story ruined FFX’s story. It should be ignored as canon.
I heard there is an X-3 book where the Tidus that resurrected at the end of X-2 was a fake and he got killed by a blitzball blowing his head off.
11 was their first MMO. 13 isnt an MMO at all.

Yeah, Perth. 13 is the one where you play as Nomura’s Pink haired female Cloud.

She didnt end up having much in common with Cloud at sll. Not even close to as likable which is kind of saying something.

Not even using her as a dress up doll in Lightning Returns made her likable. What an utter failure of a character she ended up being.

As much as I like that game, and I really REALLY liked that game, I still couldn’t bring myself to like Lightning for anything outside of her design.
I wonder how things would’ve gone if she switched personalities with Serah. Noel and her made XIII-2 so much more enjoyable for me than anything else in the 13 series.
