i just hope they put the world map back in the game......
For me it wasn't the fact that you only controlled 3 women (though I do prefer there to be loads of characters so I can choose the cool ones...especially when yuna sucks so badly! Lulu was the only really cool character from X imo though), it was the fact that it was too cheesy, the end of the game came completely out of the blue (I probably only did about 50-60% of the missions though so that might be why [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]) and the final boss was simply pathetic...whenever the story got going it got ruined by suddenly going dead cheesy again, and personally I didn't like the dress-sphere system.

...thats just based on what I'm into though...

Like Lefty just said though - it was good enough for me to play all the way through (and I struggle to stay interested in a lot of games), but I agree that they should put the world map back in...sadly I think that might be gone for good...

I just hope it has a good (enough) story, I'm not liking the character design too much from what little I've seen, the main character looks especially crap, but it'll no doubt be cool enough to play...hopefully there'll be a cool bad guy along the lines of Sephiroth, Kuja or Kefka (Seymour did my head in).

Edit ^ - its definitely gonna be the last proper FF game on PS2, I would have thought they'd continue on the PS3 though (at least they better!). As for my favourite I gotta say its 7 by a mile, just because I think the story is better IMO than the others I've played (6-X plus X-2)...plus the fact it was the first one I played and also changed the way I thought about games at the time probably has something to do with it too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
