I have read alot of criticism about the actual game itself, and i have to say i find most of it unfounded, the only part of the whole thing i couldnt stomcah was blitzball, it is the scourge of the videogame industry. I wanna know how much the guy who invented that piece of crap sub game had to drink when the thought found its way into his head. Aside from that i think it was incredible, the story was well done, even the voiceovers were cool. I too am somewhat bothered by the X-2 sequal, and despite how much i currently loath square for Final Fantasy 11, i will still by x-2, and XII. but as far as 11 is concerned....well thats another topic completely, i could rant for a few paragraphs.
