It's a bit of an overstatement but consider this.

SPOILERS
You take a really long, pretty bullcrap journey to change the future and save Sarah. You find Caius, and through a bunch of crap that doesn't make sense, he dies. Then, yay, you save Sarah! She can go get married (to the guy who gets no screen time in this game). All if a sudden, she drops dead, the sky years open, and there's lightning, who should be fine, sitting on a throne, dead and bloodied. Everything you did in this game was for NOTHING. You fail, horribly, and they slap on a "to be continued....."

From the creators of games that provided you with great struggle, character development, and overall a good feeling if accomplishment at the end of the game. Horrible betrayal.

Ahh the classic! I always loved Edgar and his tools such an interesting mechanism that they didn't really take up in any other ff game

Did anyone here like FFX-2??

Why isn't this in digital lol? Anyway I'm an old school fan, up until 4 I loved them, loved tactics/war of the lions especially, but I'm a grid based rpg kind of guy

Depends on the FF. My preference for the series is proportional to how early the title was released. Except for IX. I love that one. It was a highlight in a downward spiral that started with VIII.

I liked it for the battle system and the happy ending.

All you kids playing those new final fantasy games :P
Final Fantasy 3 and Final Fantasy 4 were amazing games. Never tried the console ones but they seem very different from the older ones I grew up with.

Diehard FF fan. Started when 1 hit the states on NES. Played and beat them all. Hated 8. Love US 2 & 3 for sentimental reasons, X is my favorite storyline. X2 was fun due to the dress sphere battle system. Favorite Heros:Kain, Vincent & Auron. Favorite Villians: Kefka & Sephiroth.

FFX-2 felt like a betrayal. It teased the possibility of true love happily ever after between Tidus and whatshername, LIKE THEY DESERVED, its (spoiler alert) just some random other dude that ISN'T Tidus. And "I will devastate you with my flower attack". Seriously? What happened to Lulu's chaining a dozen Ultima's together? THAT was awesome. I couldn't do FFX-2. "It's a trap!"

If you 100% the game, it shows the true ending where Tidus swims to the shore and embraces Yuna. The happy ending is there, it's just a pain to get lol

I really enjoyed 12. I thought the story and characters were superb.

But I guess I'm on a lone boat with this one >.>

7 was my favorite. Though I had a friend who spent x amount if hours leveling up Aeris as far as she could go, only too...yeah. I feel his pain to this day!

Very little of that is accurate.

SPOILERS


Serah's death is not out of nowhere; it's being set up throughout the game, and near the end, she states that she's aware of and accepts the consequences of her actions. And they're not on a quest to save her, but Lightning. And Lightning is neither dead nor bloodied; she turned herself to crystal (which, yeah, is stupid) to avoid dying.

When the plot outright tells you that Etro is holding things together, and that killing Caius will also kill Etro, expecting a happy ending after they kill Caius is pretty naive.

I have a lot of problems with 13-2, but its ending is not one of them. They set up clear consequences and followed through on them. A happy ending where they escaped all that would have been the real betrayal.
