Which is unfortunate, because X-2 is one of the best games in terms of raw gameplay in the entire series. Skipping all the dialogue and cutscenes makes it pure fun and the peak of the "3 niggas in a line" genre, which is why they made the game require you to watch all cutscenes in full to get the best endings and items.
And X itself is a phenomenal game now that mods have created a "skip cutscene" option.
Yep. Hero, Brute/Lancer, Saint/Healer, Sage/Wizard. You see that shit in garbage tier Isekai to this day.
Once you open the door from 3 to 4, you could argue FF IV's lineup of Redeemed Hero, Lancer/Traitor, Rogue, Healer/Love Interest, Wizard is best. (Five man band tropes go here.)
The reality is that adding a rogue isn't that big an upgrade. (Edge gets no love.)
"5 niggas in a line" is not the upgrade from from "4 niggas in a line" that 4 niggas is from 3 niggas. Plus, "3 niggas in a line" catches more of the pixel art RPG era than either alternative.
A Thousand Words is also quite a powerful song, even if it feels completely corny in context about why she is singing a random concert its still very good.
Also, as a recommendation. Just resign yourself to not getting 100% completion from the onset, and you'll enjoy the game a lot more. You'll miss a lot, but its so strict at times it strangles the fun out of it when you need a guide for every two seconds.

That genre is better when you have 4 niggas
Well X-2 is a job system game in which you can change mid fight. So those 3 niggas count as like 18 compared to most games.

I'm calling traditional JRPGs this forever now, that's hilarious.
Same
It was some tweet I saw posted around. It stuck with me ever since as well, as everyone knows the exact type of game it describes.
I'll give it another shot, you have me intrigued.
Though, I'll admit, True Emotion was a legit banger and one of my favorite opening themes from that generation
