They did blitzball so dirty, 0/10 literally unplayable. Jokes aside, it's very fun that they did a direct sequel, it's not as good as FFX, but it's also not trying to be. The story is mostly fine, nothing too special, but nothing too terrible. I don't love that they undermined some of the themes of sacrifice from FFX, but whatever. The actual gameplay is pretty great - this might be one of the best versions of a job-based ATB battle system. Like a lot of games, you do eventually reach a point where there are only a couple strategies that dominate everything else, but for 90% of the game, the variety keeps the battling fresh.

Overall, a lot of fun. The game is light on story and heavy on side stories/content. It's tonally all over the place but at it's core it's a light hearted epilogue that does a fantastic job of showing the world of Spira after Yuna and co brought an end to the apocalyptic force of nature known as Sin.

The highlight for me would definitely be the fiend stories. From the Behemoth wanting to sell balloons to the flan that just wants to become the perfect dish, there's a lot of silly (and some incredibly dark, if you think too hard about them) stories here and while the process in unlocking them can be quite esoteric (as with a lot of this games design), I found them to be very enjoyable and well worth the effort required to unlock them.
