Yay! FFX-2 meta! Admittedly, FFX-2 was my gateway Final Fantasy, since I wouldn't have played X if I hadn't wanted to play X-2. Admittedly things a lot of people seem to hate (dress-up doll battle system, light tone, all female party) are the things that drew me in.
Just some random thoughts:
One of the things I really like about X-2 is that at the end, Yuna basically has a choice of whether Tidus comes back or not, so even though she the plot starts out with Yuna wanting to find her romance, it ends in a place where romance is a choice, but not the choice. Even better, the normal ending doesn't really imply that Yuna is somehow unfulfilled or worse off for not choosing romance (if that's the case).
I have to admit I feel a lot of...if not like...then affection for Leblanc. A lot of the OTT-ness of her portrayal aside, she very much reminds me of my mother in the sense that yes she's a very silly person in some ways, but she's still there looking out for people, and keeping her organization running. It's obvious from some of the conversations that go on between Leblanc's goons that they actually admire her and look up to her. I admit it's not a flattering portrayal by any means, but I don't think it's a wholly negative one either.
