Final Fantasy X-3 A Possbility??!!

Postby shengoro86 » Mon Dec 30, 2013 11:01 am

WARNING SPOILERS:

So the HD remake of X and X2 was released in Japan. I imported the game.


This happened:

http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Final- ... 61277.html



What I think:
I LOVED X and X2, they are among my most favorite games. I am REALLY excited to hear that they might consider continuing the series.

Also, in the X and X2 hd remake we find out that Yuna and Tidus are no longer together, but no real answer was given as to why.

Maybe something new is happening between them?

I honestly would love to see FFX2 Internation tie into this new story arch.


What are your thoughts?

I thought Final Fantasy X was a beautiful game -- with a beautiful ending. X-2 kind of ruined that with its incessant need for happiness and it ultimately shit all over any real emotions. If the game is fun, sure why not, but blargh why can't they just leave a good thing alone...

^^Yeah, when I found out that the ending of X-2 has
Tidus reappearing

it kind of ruined it for me. X ended on a sort of bittersweet note, and I liked it that way.
It's sort of like how I always interpreted the ending of FFVII to mean that the world, in a melancholy act of self-preservation, chose to wipe out human life... but then, as much as I really do love Advent Children, it came along and completely negated that notion.

Either way, I do have to say that Spira is a very appealing world/environment, and even though I never played through X-2, I wouldn't mind seeing that world again.

Please just leave it alone now square... you have done enough with X-2 and its shittyness. I would much prefer X as a stand alone title, but why have the cow and not milk it?

I never bothered with it because of the exploitative poppiness of it all. Everything I ever saw of it just felt kind of... disrespectful, in a way, toward the previous game. Not that FFX was high art or anything, but continuing its genuinely good fantasy story with J-pop concerts, daisy duke shorts, trendy (at the time) dual-pistol-wielding, and a Charlie's Angels facade to it was just too much. They easily could have made a "search for Tidus" story without all of that nonsense, doing something closer in style to the preceding game, and I'd have no problem with it at all. But they didn't go that route, so y'know... bleh.

I thought that X-2 was ok but that's about it. It's not like the Back To The Future series where after watching the first one you feel the need to watch the next one right away. X for me ended really well and the mystery at the end was really fitting which as some has said X-2 took away but I still judge it on it's own merits. X-2 kinda felt like a straight to DVD movie compared to the original and the story didn't feel anywhere near as epic. I honestly don't know what they would do in X-3 that would feel worthy of a sequel since the world is meant to be at peace.

Better than another continuation of XIII if you ask me.

I played the first few hours of X-2, its battle system was fine its good fun, but the story and characters were just... changed from the first game, Yuna seemed a bit different, her purpose and resolve seemed out of whack compared to the first game, and it felt strange. Then all the things OL said. The game was just awkward and taken into a completely other direction from the first title. We could tear apart the plot elements, and other things regarding X-2 and how it kind of dis-respects the first game but eh, I would rather not even think about it. Just play the magnificent first game and forget about the other one.

im not against having sequels or prequels to the FF games. I mean Crisis Core was magnificent, there are a few others that were good as well. Just X-2 was crap, they failed to make a serious follow up to the original serious game. I didnt like XIII so I cant really comment about any of its sequels, but I think the general opinion is that it was not the same quality as previous installments. But I think the sequels to XIII were better received than X-2?

I would like to see square make a AAA FF game again, and make a AAA sequel or prequel to that game that I can get into. OR just make stand alone games like they used to and leave each work alone and let it be its own single piece of art. idc just as long as the quality is high, I want story, i want characters, I want a beauiful world and art direction, I want addicting combat and character leveling progression and character customization. Seems after FFX the standard FF quality we have all come to expect only dabbles in the certain areas i mentioned, and not all areas like before. 1-10 will always be the best in the series to me, I hope they can turn it around and change my mind on that, but it will be difficult. Square has to come out of this slump some how, maybe FF15 will do that. X-3 would be a a step in the wrong direction in my opinion.

I'd rather they just release FFXV already, but that's just me. Never really liked FFX myself, so...

X was definitely pretty bueno. X-2 was alright, but didn't really like the tone of it. X-3? Just don't butcher it, and I'm down.
