| Final Fantasy X-2 - Analysis |
Well who would have thought it, a Final
Fantasy sequel eh? But this is not like any Final Fantasy you would have
played so far.
Graphics
The graphics in Final Fantasy X-2 are much
smoother, this difference is fairly noticeable. The characters are more
rounded and more detail is placed into the backgrounds. The characters
also seem more life like with more facial expressions and more active body
movement. Squaresoft has once again made a game with top of the line
graphics and cinematic, great detail has been thought into it. Most of the
cities are the same, it isn’t really that much different because it’s only
set two years later then Final Fantasy X. It’s amazing the FMV’s, the
details they put into drawing the landscape, and
every single polygonal is used to do the FMVs, and this game really uses
the PS2 to it’s advantage
Gameplay
Final Fantasy X-2's battle system uses an
enhanced version of the classic Active Time Battle system, in which each
action will require variable length of time to complete. For example,
using an item takes very little time comparing to casting a spell, some
special skills also take more time to execute than regular attacks.
Here some new battle commands, which will appear in Final Fantasy X-2
A new Attack Chain System is also included in Final Fantasy X-2, which
allows multiple characters to chain attacks. The chain attack usually
initiates by Yuna's 'Quick Trigger' command. During the battles, each
character can use the 'Dress Up' system to change into different outfits
and job classes by pressing L1. (These switches cannot be made, however,
until your party has obtained the special Dress Sphere). Confirmed job
classes include Gunner (Yuna), Thief (Rikku), and Warrior (Pine).
The new system should speed up the pace of a
battle therefore enthralling the player more. When you attack it will use
up a portion of your gauge of which limits you to a certain amount of
moves.
This also means you have the ability to use multiple attacks at once.
Square has named this the Attack Chain system.
Even though X-2's battle system is new, it still contains elements from
the Conditional Turn-based system to add that special touch of strategy in
every battle.
