    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%.

    9.5/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Breathtaking. From the moment I got this game alongside my PS2 console over a decade ago, I was amazed. From everything, from the animations to voice acting, from the enormous content to the jaw-dropping story that unfolds.
    It's one of those games that when it ends you scream "NO,NO,NO,don't end like this!!!!", much like a movie. An absolute masterpiece. My favorite game so far. 11/10    … Expand

    I love the combat system, the story, the characters, the music... EVERYTHING! The grapgics are very good for being a 14 year old game, lol. I'm enjoying it A LOT! Highly recommended

Every character is detailed and designed in a perfect and accurate way, the music is simply extremely good, the sphere grid system is a big improvement to the previous systems, you finally have the sensation of really developing your characters the way you want. Blitzball could be a game on it's own already and it's just a mini-game. I just can't think of anything that could've been done better in this game.… Expand

    I've always heard about the glory of FFX, but I was still surprised to find myself so completely enthralled by this one. I couldn't believe that I could enjoy another FF as much as I enjoyed FFVII. This is the epic story we've been waiting for.

Spira is a vibrant, colorful world, and Nobuo and Masashi (two of my favorite vgm composers) help make the trek that much more grand. I quickly adapted to the turn based battle system, and as different as it was, the sphere grid leveling system was clever and fun. I loved being able to "hot swap" characters in and out of battle without penalty. Blitzball is a bit overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it, there's loads of fun to be had in this extensive mini-game. However, the characters and the storyline is really what shines brightest in FFX. It's refreshing to have such an imaginative otherworldly final fantasy tale with a plot that still holds together well in spite of pushing the limits of fantasy. Highly recommended for anyone with a soul.… Expand

    It does have its flaws though with Tidus being a mediocre protagonist despite his nice character design, the voice acting is a mixed bag with some characters sounding good and others sounding like they came from an abysmal anime dub, some of the decision making in the game is odd and some of the characters can be downrightfrustrating at times such as Wakka whose bible-thumping gets really annoying overtime. The difficulty in the game is also very bipolar and the sphere trials shouldn't be in the game period.

    I think this is a game worth experiencing for anyone who likes Final Fantasy or JRPGs, if you don't like either then better off avoiding the game.    … Expand

    Okay, so as far as RPGs go, Final Fantasy X is near-perfect. What makes it so much more involving than other games I played, aside from the abundance of items and minigames to build your characters with, is the huge Sphere Grid.

In this grid, all your different characters have a specific path they can take with skills along the way which are best suited to them. The thing is though; these aren't paths you necessarily HAVE to take for each character. You get the freedom to experiment and build every character into the character you want it to be. The possibilities are almost endless, and it's so much more involving than just having your characters 'level up' after a few battles. It's really addicting, even now, and I don't think I've seen this is any other games besides Final Fantasy X.… Expand

    This is the best Ps2 game. The best Jrpg of its decade.
    A masterpiece.
    The combat system is easy to learn but challenging for the whole game. You have a lot of enemies to fight and bosses to defeat.
    The soundtrack is pure Nobue Uematsu. So it's great.

    The story is hearthbreaking.
    Is a 10/10.

Compared to the other Final Fantasy games I've played it's quite linear until close to the end where you get access to an airship and can use it to revisit previous areas. The gameplay can be challenging later on when enemies get stronger, but it's incredibly straightforward at the beginning, giving you infinite time to chose what you want your three chosen fighters to do in a classic turn based system whilst also allowing you to change members whenever you please.

    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.

    Amazing game. There were a few cringe worthy moments due to voice acting, but very few considering how adolescent voice acting was in the US at the time. The music to me was the best of any Final Fantasy, my favorite being the Ronso theme "People of the North Pole".

    As most final fantasy games are, this is definitely a shining gem of JRPG games. But I had trouble really getting into the game - blitzball is basically a meme (it controls terribly) and I had so little direction in some of the early game battles and quests that it took me three or four tries before I made it past the opening sequence of this game.

    Auron brought the best in this game, the Sphere matches are an great addition if not the only objective to focus on. Final Fantasy 10 is a good example of how this saga thrives and been surviving long. Not bad there with the features in implement to have a nice time of it.

    In the beginning, i thought it was a little boring, and the characters weren't that good. But as the history goes, the characters are developed and the history gets better and better, until it reaches it's climax on that final. It was one of the best endings ever made, and also, it builds a "bridge" between this and the next game. For those who prioritize histories in games, this game is for you!

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.
