History of Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy 10-2

So, SquareEnix has released Final Fantasy 10 to widespread praise and despite the clunky voice acting, the game is as polished, as beautiful, and as fun as it has ever been.  So, they decide to make their first ever direct sequel.  And they change almost everything about the game, save for the characters and the graphics.  It sounds like a recipe for disaster, but if you can get over the foolish marketing choices and some sexism, the game is an incredible experience, with truly inspired design, paying homage to previous games, while still trying to be its own thing.

Final Fantasy 10-2 has no right to be a good game based solely on its looks and legacy.  And yet it is.  It is a damn good game.  Watch on to find out why.



Just a heads up to anyone who sees this.  I will be taking a short break, maybe a week or two, from History of Final Fantasy and game reviews because I'm a bit behind.  In those times, we'll be doing more Sunless Sea Stories, which I've already got recorded and rendered.  I hope people enjoy.
