Final Fantasy X-2

[Inept]

Didnt like what they did to yuna (guns? shes a summoner for gods sake) but other then that I like what I played of it (5 day rental ... went back to rent it again but it was never there ...)

[quote=Haku;2984070]Honestly for me none of them gave me too much trouble and the final boss was a major pushover.QUOTE]

Hmm.... I am going to have to assume one of three or four things.

1) You never found via infinito and are basing this statement entirely on the core storyline

2) You used cat nip and several New Game + loops

3) You used a gameshark to max out your stats

Losing to anyone once makes them at least a mild challenge in my opinion, and there is no way a non cheated game would not see you unprepared to face Trema. Anyone who has never come across him before would walk into that fight, blink, and die.

Now I could be wrong and you have incredibly prodigious skill, but unless I see an uploaded vid of you taking out Trema with apparent ease, I'm afraid I'm not going you with having beaten every aspect of that game with ease.

Catnip is not cheating. It is just an accessory that strengthens the character, but it also has its downsides, just like any accessory. Like I was referring to those people that "like to actually accomplish things" obviously makes them hardcore...

See? You can play games to accomplish things or to just have fun. It's the player's choice.

I finished the game with 100% of everything done without the use of any cheating method's since what's really the point in playing something that you're going to cheat through, and I did say that none of them gave me too much trouble with Trema really being the only exception to that since it did take me quite a few times to finish it off.

wow i'm really impressed. i mean i couldn't even get a 100% without a guide. i tried new game plus so many times like 14. if a normal person were to play final fantasy x-2, it's not likely he/she will get a 100%.

but if that person is playing through the game for the first time. i don't think that person should use a guide until he/she has beaten the game. and then that person should use a guide.

On my very first time playing the game I think I got around 70% without the use of a strategy guide but I didn't realize how much backtracking that I had to do until I actually read a online guide mentioning that certain things I didn't do added quite a bit of story completion.

So you're saying the game is either made for hardcore players or lazy people?

Honestly the game needed a medium level, for people like me who can't beat Trema without catnip, but like to do things without cheating.

Honestly if you have catnip, there are no downsides. Gunslinger + Catnip + Trigger Happy= instant kill for most enemies.

One MINOR downside is that you have to be at yellow HP, but if you kill enemies that fast, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Anyways the thing that bothered me the most about this game was the storyline, not it's easiness or anything else.

To Haku: I got a similar percentage on my first run through, but as far as getting 100%, I don't see what not believeing you gains me, so I'm going to take your word on it. And in that case, praise dude, you truly know how to rock strategy game ;)

To Fadin Sun: I must admit what they did to the story line was out of character for Square, I try to view X-2 seperately from the other FF's (it does after all break a lot of the traditions). And as far as you're "either for hardcore gamers or lazy people" statement goes, I'd say Trema is similar to KH1 Sephiroth, it's hard yeah, but once you've got a good strategy in mind it gets easier, you don't need to be a hard core gamer to beat it, just take some time to think it through, set yourself up. The Omega like creature before Trema can take the preperation side away, but as long as you fight him properly after you beat Trema you can be forgiven for bribing him.

And one last thing... I love that I just praised you on the Star Ocean thread and am now having a respectful argument with you here xD

Don't worry I'm used to these intelligent conversations. At least you get what I'm trying to say D:

Never tried Sephiroth from KH1. Sephiroth/Paradox Battles in KH2 weren't that hard for me. Defeating Trema without catnip is damn near impossible, so instead I used catnip, but used Dark Knight instead of Gunslinger.

I think I beat Trema without catnip I just cant remember, I beat Paragon & that desert demon without it.

Just a few questions I'm interested in, did you use the trick of pre-emptively lowering its health in chapter 2 before you beat it? Whether you did or didn't that is still quite impressive. And with paragon, I don't suppose you bribed it at all? Cos that's quite a similar strategy. And one last thing, when you beat Omega Weapon, if you didn't use The End, I am impressed ;)

[KHfan1905]

I can't beat the Magas Sisters. They kill me in like, 5 minutes....
Any help?

[Reflection]

^ Level up? Lol, I remember having trouble with them but you should be at least lvl 60 at that point to make it easier. Or you could try out some new dresspheres or strategies.

[fadin sun]

lulz Magus Sisters.

Umm haven't played this game in a while, but I had:

one gun mage (Yuna), one White Mage (Rikku) and one Warrior (Pane).

No. I was never able to encounter him in chapter because time might ran out or I was rushing. For Paragon I just attacked & healed when needed. For Omega Weapon I use Renzokuken like 15 times & used Zell & Rinoa for healing. I only used The End once in the whole game & it was on a bitebug but thats when I didnt know what that attack was. Go to my Youtube profile & you'll find my Omega videos. YouTube - krat0s9001's Channel
