Final Fantasy XIII-2

IX rules.

IV was great, too, Finch! Let's not fight!

Unless someone trots out the abortions that are VIII and X.

There is nothing wrong with VIII and X.

Finch, IV was excellent and so was VI. Please change your position. I don't like disagreeing with you.

X was hampered by shitty voice acting and blitzball. VIII had that annoying "boost" battle gimmick and the story was phoned in at the end. The difference is that the problems with X were bad enough that they severely hampered my ability to enjoy the game, whereas I was able to look past the problems with VIII and have a good time.

VIII had the best card game. Some of the CG sequences were mind-blowing for their time (the flying garden battle was brilliant). And when the story was on, it was very much on.

X had Tidus laughing, and Tidus whining that Yuna can't die because it's not fair. And motherfucking blitzball.

This unfortunately is a True Lie.

I had a blast level grinding in X.

The combat system in X was fine, but I strongly disliked the characters, the art direction, the story, the voice acting and Blitzball. There was very little purchase available to me, and I never managed to find a handhold solid enough to keep my interest through even a basic playthrough. Every time I try I get a little further and then something abominable happens, like the terrible orb puzzle temples or Sin randomly teleporting you to the desert.

I'm still willing to give it another go if the Vita remake is real.

FFVIII had a super busted combat system that just was not fun to play. I destroyed this game with 100% completion so I could easily go into the particulars of its bustedness, but it would be tl;dr city. The story was also very hit and miss for me, especially in how it never allowed for the development of a strong nemesis.

If the same team was in charge of both those games, then they are my least favorite group of people that make things ever.

Sounds like Josh and Ramon switched accounts again.

I loved X. In retrospect, if the main character wasn't Justin Bieber, a lot more people will like it more. That and Blitzball sucks.

I didnt like X for the stupid shit it made you do to get the "ultimate" weapons. Like lightning dodging. And blitzball.
