Final Fantasy X-2 PS2

Final Fantasy - perhaps the world's most contradictory game title for a series that in the beginning was a last-ditch effort from Square, and one that went on to be a 50-million selling franchise. But the impact of Sakaguchi's storytelling efforts didn't hit Europe until Final Fantasy VII was unleashed. It was the first in the series to get a PAL release and was welcomed amongst a large group of avid RPG fans and intrigued gamers who had never heard of it before. As many Final Fantasy followers will know, as much as the series is a set of sequels, each and every release is a brand new game in its own right, boasting unique characters, a new game world, and often a new play mechanic. And until now, that tradition has never been broken. But as previous Final Fantasies become older, more and more players are left wondering what happened to their favourite characters. They have a desire to see what happened to Midgar after the demise of Sephiroth, and need to know if Zidane and Princess Garnet lived happily ever after in Alexandria. Well now, in the wake of the success of Final Fantasy X, Square Enix has delivered to us Final Fantasy X-2. Taking place two years after Yuna's fateful journey to defeat Sin in Final Fantasy X, the once chaotic world of Spira has gone through a massive transformation, entering a period of Eternal Calm. But High Summoner Yuna is left feeling empty after her first love, Tidus, died. But when she discovers a sphere offering footage of her supposedly deceased prince charming, her beliefs are thrown into doubt, and so she embarks on her second adventure with companions Rikku and the newly introduced Paine, to seek the truth. We'll start by talking a little about the game's locales and world map. Now, because X-2 is a direct sequel to FFX, this game doesn't have a gleaming new world to explore, instead it retains the world of its predecessor and adds some extra areas for exploration. It's an easy short-cut for Square Enix, yes, but the familiarity of the new Spira will be welcome with
