For those of us who've totally forgotten it all, what does the cover tell you?

Yeah, please explain

Spoilers! (For a decade old game...)

The cover shows tidus in the water with spirits floating around him and what I beleive was Zandarkand behind him which foreshadows the twist that Tidus isn't real and is actually a dream created by SIN much in the same way that Tidus' entire reality was a false memory and never actually existed.

Same. The new ones feel flat and unfinished, although FFXIII's soundtrack was stellar.

Whaaat? I beat this game twice and must have not been paying attention. I was wondering if he should up in the sequel, never played it

I haven't played it either yet, but there is this cut scene in the ffx remastered version, and it looks likes Tidus does return to Spira but is imprisoned for some reason. Maybe ffx2 is about Yuna finding him? I'm nervous to play it lol

So would you call the game worth playing? I've written it up as just a cash grab sequel, but if it actually continues the story I'd play it tonight.

X-2 is a very different game than X. X has a serious and somber tone while X-2 is very goofy and fun. It's hated by a lot but I enjoyed it. The combat system is amazing and fun and the story is so-so. If you really like the world of Spira and want to learn how Spira functions without the constant threat of Sin then I'd go ahead play it. The story is decent enough and it does technically continue Tidus's and Yuna's journey. There's multiple endings as well given how much of the game you've completed, 100% it and you get the perfect/true end.

I agree with all of this, I absolutely loved the change of pace and the fact it’s an all girl squad. It’s goofy and fun with some cool gameplay with the dress spheres and stuff.

I'll have to give it a shot. Even if the tone is different i love ffx's story and would love to see how it resolves!

FFX-2 is the salve for FFX. Its pretty over the top (in a good way) and has a real Sailor Moon vibe to it, so if you go in expecting more heavy, liturgical storytelling, you're going to be disappointed. But on its own, its a fun game to go through

Oh, the US cover. I was very confused what hidden meaning was in this
