Anyone notice every Playable character in FFX-2 is female. I read about it in Game Informer the other day, ya got Yuna, Rikku, and the untrustable LeBlank, all with their own special powers. If anyone has any good sites to check this game out let me know cause this looks liek its gunna be great. its gunna have FF tactics stuff in it, and all sorts of new goodies.

Theres a few threads on FFX-2 here, look around the Final Fantasy Forum to find 'em.

Indeed there are other threads, but I will point out somthing: There are no "FFTactics" elements whatsoever - Changable Character Classes have been in the series since the last of the NES games (or to a lesser extent, the first ever FF game), so they're not truely a Tactics element. Regardless, Character Classes are often very cool (they made FF5 into a half-decent game) and are therefore a welcome addition. But no turn-grid-based combat and epic battles for us... bah.

As for the Charlies Angel's idea... I can see that ^_^ - who knows... FF6 was the only game so far with Female mains, and that was one of if not the best FF game so far... can FFX-2 use it's girl power to it's advantage?

Oh and has anyone else noticed the rule of three in FF games? There is always 3 playable main females in the main series:

FF4: Rosa, Rydia, Palom (or Porom... I forget)
FF5: Reina, Faris, Krile
FF6: Terra, Celes, Relm
FF7: Aeris, Tifa, Yuffie.
FF8: Rinoa, Selphie, Quistis
FF9: Garnet, Eiko, Freija.
FF10: Yuna, Rikku, Lulu.

Ok... so 8 and 9 bend the rules a bit

Spoiler: show

Edea and Beatrix are token bad peoples who you can play as for all of 5 seconds

but aside from that, are these girls all we can expect in FFX-2 ?

I think it'll be nice for me to finally see a RPG with mainly female characters.

Well, let's face it, there are a lot of people out there who complain that there aren't enough female leads in both games and films.
At least this will shut them up 4 a while.
But then again, it could be interpreted as just trying 2 appeal 2 male gamers, so u can't win, eh?

Exactly. Even when they go out and make a mainly Female cast, they have to be dressed up like the red haired chick from the Fifth Element (excepting the masking tape). Oh for the days when Sprites prevented Square from dressing down their characters.

actually It was you that suggested that it was like the FF Tactics system in the first place, so who is it any less similar to the systems that I claimed it was?
