Additionally due to the sphere grid your characters feel different but it also feels like you have control over what they are capable of doing, which makes for pretty good gameplay. The battles are quite good and not monotonous and the difficulty level, while a bit low for my tastes, is tolerable. All around a solid RPG title and well worth playing. That said, it does have some flaws; the main characters, Yuna and Tidus, are very unlikable and not really all that interesting, and towards the end the game does begin to drag a little in places. All in all though, a good game.… Expand

    Great graphics but to much watching videos and not enough playing the game. In a way it is like watching a movie, which is ok I guess. I have not played X-2 yet but I hear that it is better. There are rumors that Square is making a X-3!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Final Fantasy X is a game I've picked up and put down many times before. Originally, I was looking for Sonic Unleashed for the PS2, as its daytime stages are looked fun, but the gamestop I was in didnt have it, so instead, I got this. I have played three Final Fantasy games (VII, XII, X), and out of them all, this is the one I like the least. And beleive me, I have my reasons. Let me start off with the positives: The story. The story in this game is really really good. You take control of Tidus, an annoying character whom youll end up hating, who is a Blitzball player who is teleported away from his city of Zanarkand after a creature known as sin walks into it. He soon finds out that he is in the future, 1000 years later, and eventually meets Wakka, a fellow Blitzball player who has never won a game and decides to go off on one more championship before becoming a guradian. I dont want to spoil anymore now. The plot does have some flaws though: Apparently, when you die in the world of spira, if you are not sent by a summoner, you will be reborn as a fiend. If you get killed as a fiend, you will become a fiend. If you get killed as a fiend, you will become a feind! Eh? This means that there is no downside to dying. So death is pointless since ten minutes later, youll get back up. Also, the battle system is really really good as well. Strategic thinking and using the right characters is key to winning a battle. And a convienient bar at the right tells you who will move next, and you can also strateigecly switch party members. This is the one part of Final Fantasy X that I really love. The only bad thing I can say about them is that theyre a bit too slow paced, but thats not really something fair to gripe over. Thats unfortunately where the positives end really. Now its time for the ranting. Where to start? How about the character design and models? Alright. The character design is really... um... unique? Its all really weird. I mean, who looked at Seymour all of a sudden and said YES! THAT HAIR STYLE IS PERFECT! MAKE IT HAPPEN! Youll really have to see the characters to know what I mean. The models, while some are great for the time, look flat out weird, especially Rikku and Issaru. Some people dont even move their mouth when talking, and simle when theyre not supposed to. Okay, moving on. The gameplay is linear. Youre always set on a straight forward path with little to no oppertunity to go back. A factor to this linearity is the amount of cutscenes that spend way too much time showing off graphics and are like "YEAH! LOOK AT THESE PS2 GRAPHICS. SCREW GC AND XBOX, GO OUT AND BUY A PS2!" My first 5-6 hours of gameplay was spent moving from place to place which will trigger a cutscene, a boss fight or both. I land on an island. Theres a red arrow to follow. I follow it and a cutscene appears. It ends, and another red arrow appears. I walk two steps and another cutscene. That cutscene ends, and I proceed to follow the arrow. Another cutscen. Another arrow. Cutscene, arrow, cutscene arrow, cutscene, arrow, CUTSCEN, ARROW, CUTSCENE, ARROW, CUTSCENE, ARROW! WHY?!!! There was barley anything interseting around me. None of the NPCs have anythign to say, there is a severe lack of shops. If Yuna runs out of MP, and I dont have any potions, Im screwed. If there was a shop, just-UGGHHH! Another aspect of tyhe game is that its soo annoying! Dont get me started on those wait for yuna sections. In certain sections, Yuna is praying at a temple, and all of the characters keep on telling you to sit down, shut up, and wait till Yuna is done. But you
    re not supposed to wait. Youre not supposed to sit ther. Youre supposed to go a certain spot in the area, and then it will trigger a cutscene! HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT! Some places you're supposed to go to trigger the cutscene are the places that everyone is telling you not to go! Like the place where Yuna is praying why? I spend, I kid you not, 3 hours, sitting there waiting for Yuna, and she never came out. And besides; WAITING FOR SOMEONE? DOES THAT SOUND LIKE FUN TO YOU?! And last, Blitzball. Blitzball is so annoying. First off, the tutorial is painfully long, and it gives you som much wrong advice on what to do in the game. Second, Blitzball is slow, its boring, its quiet, and the first time you play it, you are the worst team by a lot, and youll loose. Luckily, by the end of your first Blitzball game, a majority of the problems you had are gone. No more Cutscene aroww following and Blitzball is completely optional. However, there are still some gripes. You can never really go a decent distance without a random battle, and, still, there are a lack of shops. Luckily, only my first 10 hours of the game were painfull, but ya know what? FFX wasnt that bad. Its the worst of the FF games Ive played, but thats not saying much, since the three I played were great. When its good, its great, and when its annoying...oh god........ill give it an 8.0/10    … Expand

Don't get me wrong, the environments are beautiful and the creature battles varied and engaging. The game does open up completely, but only right at the end and the freedom to explore feels more like a needless additional activity that doesn't really add much to the central plot. But, that aside, the additional stuff is vast and incredibly challenging. The monster farm has some hard as nails fights.

    The story is can be really moving at times and you can not help but fall in love with Yuna. Tidus is a tool, but a lovable tool and it is great to see their relationship develop and grow.

    Blitzball is a simple little side game. but damn is it fun. The better you get the more you want to play. I'm a bit surprised that Square never a spin-off title around this.

    Overall:
    Final Fantasy X is a really good addition to the FF series and has done a good job bringing the FF franchise into the 21st century. While I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous titles, I still liked it none the less.    … Expand

    Final Fantasy X is one of the most famous titles in the series alongside 7, 8, and 9. While it is indeed awesome, there were some pretty big flaws in the game that slightly ruined it for me. But before I can get to those, I have to talk about the amazing things.

    The story in FFX is quite what you'd expect from a Final Fantasy game: depressing, deep, and full of angst. For long-time fans of the franchise, it won't really amaze them much. But for first-timers, it'll blow you away. It is so amazing that you'll definitely shed a tear or two. I won't go into detail due to spoilers but I will say that it's one of the best stories I've seen for an RPG. The characters in FFX are very well-done and realistic. You might even see bits and pieces of yourself in some of them. Yes they're that deep.

    The gameplay in this game is very linear which is one of the flaws I was referring to earlier. Linearity in an RPG tends to turn me off. There are very few side quests and mini-games in FFX which saddened me since the side quests are so easy that anyone can do them. There's only one mini-game in X and that's blitzball. It's really fun and quite addicting! There is also something that you have to do several times in the game and it never fails to give me a headache. The Cloister of Trials. Ugh. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.

    The fighting system in FFX is turn-based where up to three characters at a time can choose amongst their regular attacks, magic, items and specials to defeat the various enemies in the way. You unlock abilities to use as you level up by advancing characters through a special grid, differing from a standard level up system. However, I found that it's very easy to manipulate and quite predictable. For both you and the enemy. Some battles do have special controls which sorta makes up for it but only slightly. Another flaw is that X has the easiest final boss in gaming history. Are you kidding me? Seriously? But the ending to the game is so sad and tear-jerking that it makes it forgiveable.

    As for music, X is as good as it gets. The tracks in the game are very somber and easily match the game perfectly. You might even shed a tear or two. After beating the game, there's virtually nothing to do afterwards. The least the developers could've done is offer a New Game Plus. So X might be one of those RPGs that you'll only play once then let it collect dust on your shelf. Which I find to be very sad since it's quite good.

    So if you're looking for a one-time fling, Final Fantasy X is the RPG for you. If you're looking for a long-time relationship, you might want to look elsewhere.    … Expand

    Corridors, the game. Apparently, director Motomu Toriyama went several steps further in Final Fantasy 13 and made that game 1 long corridor (haven't played FFXIII). FFX is a pretty good game, albeit Auron is a better main character than Tidus, & the game is way too linear. Rated 8/10 because I love the Blitzball minigame, it alone is worth the price.

    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!

    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.    … Expand

    X falls short compared to ps1 games in some areas, its more linear and streamlined but at the same time you can't deny its achivements in others, mainly telling a compelling story with use of voice acting and 3d, something never before done in the series.

    Impressive JRPG for its time, still holds up. Great gameplay and soundtrack.

    At times, Final Fantasy X can feel like more movie than game, though it is elevated by an incredibly rich narrative and deeply strategic battle system -- both of which help mask the linear world design and the worst crop of side quests and mini-games in any Final Fantasy title.

    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.

    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.
