As somebody still trying to get through the slog of Final Fantasy X-2, I’m not convinced this is a good thing. Final Fantasy X-2 is famously divisive. Some praise it for its excellent job system and attention to world development. Everybody else knocks it for… well, just about every other element. The story…
