Storyline

For 1000 years, the world of Spira was held in the grip of terror as the great monster Sin punished its Citizens for using the forbidden machina (machines) in the great machina wars. To combat Sin, powerful summoners would make a pilgrimage to Zanarkand, the ruins of what was once the greatest city in Spira. Able to call and control the devastating manifestations of the Fayth, holy souls imprisoned in statues by ancient Yevon rites, aeon's, into battle. These summoners would sacrifice their lives and the life of a chosen guardian of the summoner to defeat Sin for a temporary period of time called "The Calm". Unfortunately, The Calm would end and Sin would eventually return, forcing a new summoner and his or her guardian to forfeit their lives to bring peace to Spira once again. This cycle of life and death continued in Spira for untold generations, until one summoner stood against the teachings of Yevon and sought a new mean by which to defeat Sin -- permanently. That summoner's name ...

User Reviews

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

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.
