    Il secondo miglior Final Fantasy secondo me. Final Fantasy 10 è un viaggio meraviglioso che si diversifica molto dai classici rpg e ha uno dei finali più emotivi della serie. Adoro questo gioco e detesto il suo inutile seguito, perchè una storia perfetta non ha bisogno di essere recuperata, ma va lasciata per quello che è.

    Best Final Fantasy Game ever!!! The story ohh my gosh is amazing and flawless. The fun goes on and on. Final Fantasy is so immersive and drives you to play all the way to the end. I fell in love with the characters!

    Final Fantasy X e o melhor jogo da franquia , fica lado a lado de Final Fantasy 9 em questão de diversão . Nesse jogo tem detalhes e missões diferentes pra historia do jogo , e pra conquistar as armas celestiais , algo que não tem nos jogos de 2021 e 2020 . Odiei os personagens mimando a Yuna , e o Tidus e tão engraçado como o Zidane .

    Simplesmente o jogo da minha vida. Não tenho muito mais o que falar dele, mal falo inglês e desde criança entendi bem a historia, já na vida adulta entendendo melhor joguei de novo só pela história e não me arrependi.

    A Masterpiece! One of the most funny videogames that i ever played. Characters have a lot of depth, a story that might make cry even the most tough person of the world. A pool of emotions, perfect gameplay, perfect level design and art design. Only a word: unmissable!

    I wanna say, i'm not big fan of FF franchises, but this game made me cry about 3 times. This game is fantastic, i have no words to explain, what i feel about this game. I'm so glad, that this game shows me, what Final Fantasy is.

The bright, detailed visuals, the spotty but incredibly charming voice acting, its something I would reccomend to anyone in a heartbeat. I wont go into spoilers, but the story has so many twists and turns that I personally believe its the 2nd best story in the franchise, with extremely likable characters and more incredible Nomura designs. Where I think it really shines however is the gameplay and music

    Gameplay wise, it is very much a traditional rpg, but one where encounters almost feel like a puzzle. Everyone in Final Fantasy 10 is kind of a glass cannon, so it's really fun to have to work with powerful spells and limit breaks to be able to get through encounters before they do too much damage to you.

    Musically the score is done by Nobuo Uematsu, Massashi Himauzu, and Junya Nakano, and I think they all bring something amazing and special to the table, working together incredibly well. The game is great at framing environments through its music, expecially with instances like Thunder Plains

    While I think some limit breaks (like mix) are overpowered, its never in a way that distracts from the game. I truly love basically everything about it

    FFX introduced voice acting for the first time in the series and it was great, yes, including that cheesy laugh by Tidus and Yuna, which btw, if you notice it was done on purpose due to the convo they were having.

    Call me old school or so, but in my opinion this is the best game I ever played. Amazing story, awesome graphics and cutscenes, nice combat system and of course :) Blitzball. Sometimes I still play it for a few hours of Blitzball. Hope they do a remake or remaster for the PS5.

    The best Final Fantasy! I just love the characters, story and the fighting system. Sphere grid works well as a skill tree. Gets me crying every time. Yuna/Tidus is the best love story on any game I've played. Game that has changed my life when I played it as a kid.
    Best character awards go to Auron/Jecht cause they're just dope!

I remember seeing this game for the first time. It was my first playstation 2 game and I was absolutely stunned and although the graphics haven't aged well, the FMVs are still outstanding.
    I enjoy the gameplay and especially like grinding my characters to absurd strengths, finding all the best gear, and taking on the post game content, but as far as impact on my life, the story and the music are what makes this game one of my all time favorites. This game has some of the most beautiful, emotional, and evocative music I've ever heard in gaming. Every single piece I hear carries with it old memories and strong emotions. The story is a harrowing tragedy that takes place in Spira, the single most interesting world in any FF game. Every time I play, I'm impressed by the best-selling novel quality of this plot. This is one of the only games in my collection that I come back to every couple years, and very likely will for the rest of my life.

    An amazing game. Absolutely a 10/10 game from start to finish. I’ve heard people complain about the voice acting. Considering it’s the first final fantasy to have voice acting it’s not perfect but it’s by no means bad what so ever. This game is absolutely perfect. Visuals story soundtrack I’ve played this game multiple times and have hundreds of hours into it. Amazing game you won’t regretAn amazing game. Absolutely a 10/10 game from start to finish.

    As a lifelong gamer and 34 years old in 2022, FFX is the first JRPG I have ever completed.

I have picked up plenty over the years, but none of them have captivated me enough to warrant follow through to completion; FFX even fell into this camp up until this most recent playthrough. There was probably a bit of younger me ADHD at play before, but actually completing this game feels substantial just for the simple fact that it is my first in the genre.

    Obnoxious foreword aside, there aren't many games I can think of where a story has grabbed me quite the way X did. Every character had their purpose, but the heart and soul of this game is the relationship that unfolds between Tidus and Yuna. Their story and dynamic is what pulled me through this game, and I'm sure I am far from alone in feeling that way. The winding road of this game brought upon all the emotions. Happiness, anger, sadness. Tears were definitely had along this journey

    I think the thing with JRPGs that tends to make me shy away is the anxiety of making the right choices when assigning attribute points to your characters. There was a little bit of that at the beginning for me, but I quickly began to realize that the sphere grid system in this game is actually pretty genius. It made me WANT to engage with it. I wasn't so concerned with min-maxing after realizing fairly quickly that even if you pass something up now, you'll have plenty of opportunity to loop back around later. I adored spending time with that system.

    I am a little mad at myself for not completing this game 5, 10 - hell, even 20 years ago because it is just so damn good. At the same time, I am happy that I was able to truly experience this game for the first time as a grown adult, with the emotional maturity that comes with those years. Easy 10/10 for me, not because it's perfect, but because it is significant, and it's impact on me as a person was profound.

    FF10 is an amazing game. Its combat allows for more strategy, and switching between party members in battle allows freedom in choosing how you play.

    The story is also fantastic. It is complex and is paced perfectly. Also making tidus the protagonist was a fantastic move as he is new to the world so therefore you will be as surprised as he is if there is a twist in the game. The worldbuilding is so great, making it linear allows it to be more focused on story and characters, and that works well. Also the cast actually has chemistry with each other, which I find is something JRPGS often struggle with.

    The soundtrack is fantastic, and works amazingly with the game. Everything about this game is amazing, and even though the voice acting is not too convincing, you have to remember that this is a product of its time. And for a ps2 game the graphics are miles ahead of games like devil may cry, god of war, and others.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For better or worse, this is a work that has reduced the degree of freedom and has become a game that is only about the story. However, the storyline was so well crafted and the freedom in terms of ability development made it a monumental work of art, and it will still be talked about decades later as the last genuine masterpiece of offline Final Fantasy.

    The climax of the game is still unforgettable, and I have never experienced such a hot and sad scenario as the one that leads to the opening of the game and the true identity of Tidas.I was twisted and turned by its overwhelming story, I have no complaints.

    But if I had to say what Final Fantasy could rival this one, it would be the online Final Fantasy 14 Shadow Bringers.

The characters are absolutely charming, each one has their own story, they are full of charisma. What fascinated me most about the story was that it was told by the protagonist himself. This character, Tidus, uses this type of narration (in the first person) to reflect his feelings, emotions and thoughts in every situation, which enriches the development of the plot. In conclusion, this video game surpasses excellence and is my favourite game of all time. Expand

  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.
