The Horror! The Horrorrrrrr!!!!
A friend let me borrow Final Fantasy X2 this week, and I am both horrified and enthralled by the game. First off: The Power Puffication of a FF game into a trio of treasure seeking girls is horrible, but once you get past the first 15 minutes of the game which is some sort of tribute to Magical Girl fandom, it gets better.
Ignoring the parts that make me cringe, I find a very slick and fast combat system. The ability to change each characters class during the battle is nice and compensates for the lack of additional characters. The open mission format is pretty cool, too. Most FF games are very linear, and require going to certain points to progress the storyline.
The whole dress thing is the weirdest (and maybe a little sick) idea ever...whoever thought that class changes should be handled through some Barbie-doll dress-up feature should not be allowed around little children. Of course, there is also the video-game heroine stereo types: Rikku, the hyper-active, ultra-cute girl; Paine, the moody, ass-kicking girl; and Yuna, the nice, sweet "girlfriend material" girl.
Please help me!! It is time for an intervention!! :P I know it's coming tonight at the weekly VC gathering!
