    I don't know what to think about this game. I like the tropical atmosphere, the graphics were great for the time, Tidus sucks as a main character (but some other characters make up for it, especially Auron who is badass), plot is confusing. This is a good game but I feel FF7 and FF8 are better.

    Final Fantasy X is my absolute Favorite Final Fantasy game. It was the 1st game with a skilling like no other game had before. The story is rlly amazing and I don't know how many hours I've been playing that game as a kid. Totally the best Final Fantasy game of all time.

    This is for me, without a doubt, the best Final Fantasy to date, and one of the best RPGs of all time. Go play it right now if you have not!

    Respecto a su jugabilidad, bajo mi punto de vista es el más interesante de todos los final fantasy ya publicados, ya que presenta un combate por turnos en donde hay más tiempo para pensar y plantear las estrategias.
    Sus personajes son absolutamente encantadores, cada uno posee una historia propia y única, abundan de carisma.
    Lo que más me fascinó de la historia, fue el hecho de estar contada por el propio protagonista, este personaje, Tidus, utiliza este tipo de relato (primera persona) para reflejar sus sentimientos, emociones y pensamientos frente a cualquier circunstancia, algo que enriquece al desarrollo de la trama.
    En conclusión, este videojuego sobrepasa la excelencia, convirtiéndose en uno de mis juegos favoritos.

    Final Fantasy X represents all the worst excesses of the franchise that would come to bite back in Final Fantasy XIII. Overly melodramatic, undercooked characters, disappointing gameplay mostly consisting of a basic rock-paper-scissors arrangement on top of an uber-linear adventure in which you would count your blessings when the road consits of more than pressing the joystick forward.Final Fantasy X represents all the worst excesses of the franchise that would come to bite back in Final Fantasy XIII. Overly melodramatic, undercooked characters, disappointing gameplay mostly consisting of a basic rock-paper-scissors arrangement on top of an uber-linear adventure in which you would count your blessings when the road consits of more than pressing the joystick forward. It's hardly a game and more of an interactive movie. You understand why FFXIII turned this way considering it is exactly the same team that worked on it. Pass Expand

    Disappointing game all around. Too cliché and melodramatic for my tastes and the gameplay isn't enough to be engaging.

    el ultimo buen final fantasy o por lo menos el ultimo que siento que conserva parte de la esencia de lo que es un final fantasy.
    este juego puede ser un punto de inflexión en la saga, ya que es mitad final fantasy clásico y mitad final fantasy nuevo, pese a que considero los nuevos final fanatsy son juegos que se alejan de la esencia dicha.
    final fanatsy x trato de innovar mucho pero sin alejarse mucho de las raíces de squre y en mi opinión es un juego que logra mucho pero que también pierde mucho.
    creo que si lo comparo con los final fanatsy anteriores, debo hablar de la exploración forzosamente, ya que hay menos exploración y es mas lineal, no digo que sea un pasillo pero si se siente una limitación importante en la exploración, pero para mi esto no era el alma de la saga, si bien era un factor importante en los antiguos, no conozco a nadie que haya jugado final fantasy por su exploración. la gente que ama esta saga habla principalmente de la historia, de la música y del sistema de combate, cosas que final fantasy x tiene fuertemente.
    posee una historia bien construida y con un mensaje muy bien representado, como lo es el adoctrinamiento de la religión y a su vez el abuso de la institución que imparte dicha religión. ademas se habla de lo crédula que puede ser la gente a falsas promesas cuando hay tanto dolor y sufrimiento en un mundo caótico e injusto como los era spira.
    esta mas decir que la música es impecable y diga de un fnal fanatsy. por ello paso al siguiente punto que es el sistema de combate que en mi opinión es entretenido pero siento que no te incentiva a tener una estrategia muy elaborada, siempre es buscar la debilidad del enemigo para luego abusar del punto débil, hay jefes que no son así pero son la minoría, en otros final fantasy lo enemigos no tenían debilidades tan obvias ni mucho menos tan oportunas. no digo que el juego sea fácil pero sacando los eones oscuros y algunos jefes no hay mucho reto la verdad. igual me agrado el echo de poder usar todos los personajes en combate y que cada uno sea único.
    otra cosa que debo hablar es sobre los personajes, sacando a tidus todos los personajes principales han sufrido de alguna manera, han vivido la injusticia del mundo y han perdido seres queridos,de hecho casi todos los personajes del juego son trágicos. se desarrolla bien la motivación del grupo para seguir adelante con el viaje y como el dolor o las adversidades no les va impedir lograr lo que se proponen incluso si tal vez no solucionen el problema de raíz.
    me gusta como los personajes no exageran la miseria del mundo y como muestran momentos felices o se les ve con sueños y esperanzas, lo hace sentir mas creíble la historia y a la vez añade un factor, como el mundo se adapto a sihn y a lo que este provoca.
    no quiero hablar mucho de tidus ya que es un protagonista adecuado pero es plano como personaje y tiene pocos momento en que lo vi ser profundo o carismático. es un tanto infantil e impulsivo pero no llega a ser desagradable, solo es intrascendente cuando lo comparas con otros protagonistas de la saga final fantasy.
    es difícil darle una nota objetiva, pese a sus defectos es uno de mis juegos favoritos de la play 2 pero si soy justo comete muchos errores y algunos graves, duele madurar y darte cuenta que lo que te gusta no es tan bueno si lo miras de forma mas objetiva. si bien no esta a la altura de los mejores de sus saga o genero, es una grata aventura y tal vez la ultima que disfrutare de esta saga ya que tristemente final fantasy o por lo menos el que yo conocí y quise con locura... murió después de este juego.

    The game is the best for me among the series. It has a deep story a battle system that is true and tested for years and the soundtrack will just pull some of your heartstrings.

    Lo considero el último gran y excelente Final Fantasy (al menos de la línea principal enumerada), una obra maestra, y el último hito de Square con esta franquicia, con más de 200 horas de juego para conseguir el 100%.

    The game has an amazing soundtrack and a really enjoyable turn-based battle system, which I see as an improvement compared to the previous titles.

    But what truly makes this game is the world, the story and the characters. It's just perfect, the design of the characters are a little bit silly and the main character (Tidus) can be a little annoying sometimes, but otherwise it's excellent!

Somehow, the series was able to surpass itself since its last 10/10 title, FFVII.

    To top it off, I find this title to be an excellent first game for people that want to get into the series. Final Fantasy X is truly the Final Fantasy, as it is the last title made by the original cast of the series for Square soft (before it merged to become Square Enix).
    Square soft might have passed away, but it did it in spectacular way. 10/10 masterpiece.

    Final Fantasy X is one of the greatest video game of all times. If you have never played it you should. Actually it's a reason to get into gaming if you aren't.

    If you had to play one video game in your life picking Final Fantasy X would be a good choice. The story is amazing, stellar. The soundtrack is an absolute masterpiece. The combat system is very appreciable and well thought,

    Every single character is different and has an interesting story.
    The ending is the pinnacle of exceptional storytelling.

    This is one of the best stories I have ever seen. This game was so ahead of it's time. Everything was done very well and there are few issues I've ever experienced with it.

    If you've never played final fantasy games, this is a great place to start (although not many others live up to this one imo). It's pretty straightforward but also has a lot of hidden things.

    Great game with interesting story and characters. The sphere grid allows for a lot of customization to a party members abilities and after some time eventually one party member can make it to another party members portion of the grid and thus gain their abilities. Grinding a lot doesn't necessarily guarantee a win if you don't choose the right actions in your turn, although it helps. I'mGreat game with interesting story and characters.

    This is the last Final Fantasy game that actually made me cry. They dont make em like they used to. Has arguably one of the best story and best music. The music in this game is the most emotional by far, it bleeds with emotion. Nobuo Uematsu went out with a bang,

    FF10 is one the best Final Fantasy games out there. It has a great story, characters and music on par with the previous entries. It's a game that bleeds with emotion and tells a tragic tale that fits the tone of the end of Squaresoft. I consider this the last Final Fantasy game, as it is the last one that actually had a genuinely great story, characters and music.

It's a game that bleeds with emotion and tells a tragic tale that fits the tone of the end of Squaresoft. I consider this the last Final Fantasy game, as it is the last one that actually had a genuinely great story, characters and music. It's also the last single player mainline Final Fantasy game by Squaresoft as well. Coincidence? I think not. I consider FF6-10 to be the Golden Age of FInal Fantasy.

    This game isn't perfect, but its bloody-well brilliant. The only criticisms I can think of that is that its a bit linear as it sacrifices its overworld, however this means it tells a much better story because of it. It also can get a bit complex and convoluted towards the end, but I'd argue aren't most Final Fantasy games like that towards the end, e.g. FF7, FF8 and FF9? Lastly, the main protagonist Tidus gets a bit of hate online. Haters claim he is annoying and irritating and has bad voice acting. Fair enough, he's definitely whiny at the beginning, but by the end of the game his character development is very present, he becomes a complete badass and doesnt whine anymore. Instead of whining to others about their plans and hard truths, in the end it is him who leads the reigns and whom everyone follows. I love Tidus and I think his voice acting is great for the most part and suits him very much. I'd argue that it is the voice direction in the game that is sometimes off. other than that it is fine.

    I think the only the thing I dislike about this game is that fact that you can't skip cutscenes -_- (doesn't help on multiple playthroughs). Other than that it's one of the greatest video games ever created in my opinion and has shaped me to become the person I am today. :)

    A beautiful, poetic adventure with attaching characters and a good, solid plot. The side quests aren't all that fascinating but they're still here and they work well. The world is colorful and alive, an amazing job for a game that came out in the early 2000s.
    Plus, it has that legendary laughing scene so it can only be good.

  1. We've seen the Final Fantasy epic take us on a memorable journey, but now it all seems like it's been done before. 10 is good, great at times, but it is no longer original.
  2. The replay value is very low, and the design is flawed by an inability to skip past sequences, even in replay mode. The playability also suffers by a lack of freedom of movement.
  3. Great RPG and certainly the best one on the PS2 currently, however, I feel it isn't as great as past FF's have been due to its lack of freedom.
