116: I gotta say- I've played both X and X-2, and I really didn't care all that much for X-2. Don't get me wrong; I loved the job class system and how they handled the dresspheres, but that's really about it. There was nothing particularly stellar about the plot (it didn't move me on an emotional level like X did), I felt that Yuna's characterization was a bit far-fetched, and Paine (as much as I like her!) just seemed like a more punkish replacement for Lulu. (And I honestly would have preferred Lulu in there anyway).

If you enjoy it, great! And I can't say that I agree with all the massive hate the game gets, to be honest. But it just wasn't something I enjoyed, at least on the level of X.

(For the record, there SHOULD be more female leads, especially in a Final Fantasy game. But I think they rather fell short, here.)

129: ...me too.

157: I kind of agree with you here. On one hand, you don't want the fic to read like a Harlequin romance novel (unless that's what you're going for)- but on the other, I think you can only write "he thrust his penis into his ass" so many times before you start looking for a different way to express it
But, hey, I do the same shit, so I'm in no position to speak. ;3

161: AAAAAAHHHHHH D8
I'd read it

n!s2: Unfortunately, you'll have your share of asshats in any fandom. I get what you're saying, though- seems very counter-intuitive to me.

So would i

I would too.

116

I'd prefer no female leads to hackjobs like that.

I do like Paine (cliche name aside), but she just seemed to appear out of nowhere, and her story wasn't that great. And as far as Yuna goes.. yikes. I don't know, but I can't see her personality changing so drastically from X to X-2 like that.
But I get what you mean, and, yes, I essentially agree.

116

[hezul.livejournal.com]

Yes. This.

You can have a game with a fantastic battle system that's still a complete failure at storytelling, and though I haven't played X-2, there are games like that which I love to pieces but still wouldn't recommend to anyone unless I knew they were looking for exactly the same things in a game as me (hi, Grandia Xtreme!). It doesn't have to be good to be fun, but by the same token, being fun doesn't make it good.

Re: 116

Well said. I guess it's really just up for individual interpretation.

For example, the .hack series. Repetitive gameplay and the AI and mechanics fail sometimes, but the storyline (to me, at least) was incredible, and I'd gladly play them again and again because it was awesome.
