I remember X2 as the game that birthed the idea in Square that FF13 parts 1-3 and the disastrous FF 13 Versus....I mean FF15 were great ideas. Hooray for continuations paying off wildly to the point of almost not existing.
The attempt to make side stories to mainline FF games was another lazy idea by SE to maximise profits while expending fewer resources.
FFX-2 was a good game and I liked the combat system it didn't have the replayability of prior mainline titles. The comedic nature of the characters and story meant I didn't feel as invested in the game world.
The problem with 13 was actually that it was ported to the 360. Tons of ideas and content had to be scrapped to make room for the game on the 360 which required 3 discs, while the PS3 required only one disc. The battle system had things missing that were in the original trailers too. I tried to like the game when it came out, but I was disappointed and stopped playing around halfway through.
Is N4G trying to astro-turf themselves against all of the current SE hate? Seems like there's a lot of "SE GOOD" posts today in the wake of the Symbiogenesis noise.
I know people hate on X-2 all the time, but it's not that bad, it's certainly more enjoyable than some of the modern FF games I've played. And that combat system is outstanding, really wish they had stuck with that one for a few more games at least.
Having said that, I also wish that "sequels" weren't a thing in the franchise, looking at FF13, I feel like that was an excuse/go ahead to re-use assets and speed up game development instead of focusing on getting the story/world and characters right.

The dress sphere mechanic was fantastic I thought
FFX-2 was my first game in the series

I remember it as middling at best. The first FF I didn't finish.
