Unlike previous Final Fantasies, Final Fantasy X-2 doesn’t have a “linear” storyline. Once players get thought the introduction of the game, they get aboard the airship and they have free reign to go wherever they want in the world. If they want to go to a “hotspot” (missions that advance the game’s story) or roam around the world leveling up they are free to do this. While some people may gawk that this is a total break in the tradition of the series, they have to remember that this game “breaks” a lot of the previous traditions. This free mission style allows gamers to explore the game at their leisure and gives players the choice of how soon they want to beat the game, or if they want to take in all of the sights and sounds that this game offers.
