I've done two playthroughs, ~60% and then 78%. I doing a third, taking a break right now, but with a guide 31% so far.

I'm also doing one, but haven't play it for days now.

Only 9% though.

I got it all fairly easily, myself (maybe that's part of the reason why I'm not only completely fine with X-2, but ended up liking it a bit more than X)...The only thing I didn't get was the Mascot Dress Sphere because I kept messing up the who dunnit part...but since that doesn't effect your completion % I never bothered to go back & try for it a 3rd time...

Is it when you have to discover the culprit of the Mi'ihen Highroad incident, right?

I managed to get 100% on one play through, but I was always double checking my percentages at certain points to make sure I got it fully. Final Fantasy X-2 was quite a surprise since it was more enjoyable than the it's predecessor. Even with trying to get a hundred percent it was still quite enjoyable to play. Overall Final Fantasy X and X-2 where quite enjoyable even with the flaws some saw in it.

However, I found X better than X-2 in being enjoyable.

Wanting to get 100%, and following a walkthrough on what to do, it took away most of the fun for me.

FFX-2 kind of killed my love for FF, surprisingly it wasn't FFXI that killed it. lol

Speaking of bland video games, how about that Xenosaga Ep 1 & 2? I still have Ep 3 in its plastic from like almost 2 years ago. Is it better than the first two? Xenosaga 1 & 2 were very boring for me, but I would force myself to complete the games because they both have increadible music and storyline. :D

Well considering I like FFX-2 and Xenosaga 1&2 you don't want my input.

From my perspective the third game is somewhat more enjoyable than the first two and the battles seem less tedious. Then again it has been a while since I last played it so I may be remembering it incorrectly. Though I do remember the leveling was less annoying than the first with the skill leveling.

Xenosaga 3 is pure gold. I actually like it better than Xenogears, which I said in an earlier post in this thread. A long time Xeno fan "Hammer" (dunno if he is still around these forums) said that he has heard many Xenogears fans say they actually like Xenosaga 3 better than Xenogears. I would give it a chance if I were you. Have no preconceptions about what you expect from it. Don't expect it to lead directly into Xenogears, just play it to enjoy it.

If you do play it though (and you should), do yourself a favor and read a plot synopsis of the first two games, otherwise you'll be thoroughly confused for the majority of the third.

I've only played like 2 minutes of a Xenogears Demo way back when.. But I think I will definitely try out Xenosaga 3 tonight, I mean I still have it in the plastic wrap, collecting dust. lol

I'm playing MOTHER 3. Again. Yes, I am playing it again. Why you ask? BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT.

A good game. Play it three times by now, and only one of them was completed.
