    There isn't anything I could say about the game; it has its own wonderful aspects, but I believe that the fans overhyped it because their emotions weakened their judgment.

In terms of gameplay, I think it is the most interesting of all the Final Fantasy games released so far, because it offers turn-based combat where you have more time to think and plan strategies. 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

    I desperately want to give this game a ten, there are so many aspects of this game that are the best in the series. The party is stellar, the romance is captivating, and the combat mechanics are flawless. But those damn Cloister Trials really hold it back for me, most puzzles just aren’t my thing, except for Portal.

    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    FF10 is an amazing 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.    … Expand

    There will never be a game that surpasses the story of this one, never ever.

    It has the best (more humane) story writing and character development. Everything hits really close.

    We could say that is the best FF, if not, a top 3 for sure.

    Really love the story the characters and the world Spira.
    The way how they handled the antagonist sin is very well done.

    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.    … Expand

    This game made me fall in love with the FF franchise, after mistakenly hated it because of the OG FF7 I was young and naive at the time to understand the mechanics.

    The graphics for its time, the music, the story, the unique universe on every FF game, voice acting for Tidus could have been a little better, this game got me hooked for months that I never regret spending on it.

    Sakaguchi's last Final Fantasy, and the last great final fantasy game. The move to full 3D definitely comes with a lot of losses here. Gone is the world map. Even without that, the individual levels are far more linear, the number of NPCs is reduced. The comedy also doesn't work nearly as well with this format as it did with the style of 7, 8 and 9.

    However, the move to full 3D allows for great scenery, and more importantly, a more personal attachment with the characters. And thats a good thing because the characters are fantastic here, as is the story. There's still a lot of JRPG weirdness, but this might be one of the tightest, most emotional, stories in the franchise.

    This is also the height of the turn based combat system and the leveling system. Both the sphere grid and the ability to move characters in and out are exceptional additions. And the gameplay would only go downhill from here.    … Expand

    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.

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.    … Expand

    Tiene el gran defecto de que no es mundo abierto. Difícil estar a la altura de los mejores siendo lineal. Impecable, en todo caso.

    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.
