Oh god I totally forgot about the whole dressphere thing - which I also disliked lol.
But man you have a profound memory or played comparatively recently. It's all a vague memory for me after only giving it a go through once. The way you put it does tend to make it feel more justifiable as a project - although it's often dismissed as more of a side-game or something, not often included in main-game lists.
I suppose I oughtta give it another shot one day, after the one day when I re-play X heh

O definitely. It was pretty much Square's experiment into doing sequels for their games which up until that point was an established one totally new world per entry. FFX-2 paved the way for the Compilation of FFVII and then the Fabula Nova Crystalis project. It might even be why FFXII turned out to be a game set in Ivalice from the Tactics series rather than its own separate world. And then of course getting its own sequel too.
When it comes to the dressphere job system I do agree. It's pretty hit or miss. I had a friend who gamed that system so hard though so using some of his strategies probably gave me better memories of it. Trigger Happy + Cat Nip + setting up for low health is incredible lol. Sadly doesn't work on International or the remake. I did appreciate how it sped things up dramatically. FFX was Square's attempt at a slower and more strategic combat system compared to the old ATB system and then FFX-2 was pretty much ATB on full throttle until we got the newer games like Lightning Returns and XV.
It's been a while since I played. I get really invested in a game's story and after that happens I tend to really remember them. Like I said, I'm a fan of FFX-2. I vaguely remember the systems in stuff like FFXII or the older games like FFIII. It's kinda like Genshin right now I can mostly remember when and how I got each of the characters.
