I am a bit surprised to see this one ranked rather low here compared to other FF games, however, I thought it was great to revisit some of the characters I got to know from Final Fantasy X. An actual sequel this game features Yuna and Rikku along with a newcomer named Paine as sphere hunters. Granted Yuna is mainly doing this as a means to see if an old love is still alive. The format is different from X as it is more of a mission based and chapter based game. The story is still rather engaging, but combat is a bit tough this time around. Apparently, Rikku and Yuna have gotten vastly weaker since X. During the story you run into many old friends from ten and some new ones as there are different parties forming in the wake of the final destruction of Sin. So you have your intrigue plus quite a bit of comedy for your enjoyment as well. Still, this is not a true Final Fantasy game and it doesn't feel like one...the problem with going back to a world is you don't see all that much new stuff. There are not all that many new areas to explore much of it looks exactly the same so lets just say it does have a familiar ring to it. Still it is fun and the ending was good too. Though I have yet to see the 100% completion ending.

Rather good as it is the first Final Fantasy true sequel.
