OVERVIEW

  Final Fantasy X-2, the sequel to Final Fantasy X, was released two years after its predecessor. It was the first true sequel in the Final Fantasy series, set in the period of Eternal Calm, a couple of years after the action seen in Final Fantasy X has ended.
 
  One new feature of X-2 is the all-female cast: there are no male playable characters. For a Final Fantasy game, this is a first. Other significant features include the style of music, which comprises mainly of jazz or pop music. Unlike Final Fantasy X, the battle system is more "active" and fast-paced, instead of turn-based. The dress sphere system was also used, although it has been seen before. Although many locations featured in Final Fantasy X-2 were also seen in Final Fantasy X, many designs were redone, such as the town of Kilika.

  Overall, Final Fantasy X-2 has been popular, and although I have heard many criticisms that it is not as good as Final Fantasy X, the adventure and mission style system is an interesting addition and it's definitely worth trying out this new addition to the series.



STORYLINE

  Two years after Sin's destruction, seen in Final Fantasy X, the land of Spira has nearly recovered from the chaos caused by Sin. Many of Spira's inhabitants are enjoying this time of peace, known as the "Eternal Calm". However, many people have also enjoyed the use of machina, forbidden by the traditions of Yevon, once revered and respected throughout Spira. During this change, Yuna searches for Tidus, her long lost love and on her quest to find him learns more about Spira's secret past.
