Game description: Final Fantasy X-2 is the first direct sequel in the renowned RPG series. X-2 highlights a cast of returning characters and features mission-based gameplay, an all-female lead cast, unique job classes and a dynamic battle system. The story takes place two years after Yuna defeated Sin in Final Fantasy X, and follows Yuna's journey to find her lost love. Scattered all across the dangerous lands are spheres which show visual recordings of historical events or open up different types of job classes to use in battle.
The game's story follows the character Yuna from Final Fantasy X as she seeks to resolve political conflicts in the fictional world of Spira before it leads to war.

Europe v02.00(14/06/2004), Recommended, Gameplay is fine, although dressphere changes can drop the FPS as low as 25 (White Mage is the worst for this). FMVs may have a black along the middle of the picture. To fix this, hit F9 once., Ground textures at Mushroom Rock Road is missing (see the attached picture) | |
