    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%.

    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

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.

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    The infamous "Tidus' laugh" was meant to be awkward and stupid:
    he's a teenager trying to hit on the girl he likes by being silly and make her laugh - this is how teenagers work.

    Absolutely one of the best FF games, and RPGs, ever made.
    A great story, with some big plot twists in it, and a romance between the main characters that never fells odd or forced.
    The graphics were insane for the time and so was the music too. This soundtrack is simply amazing.
    In 2001 there weren't actual side-quests, but FF games had something like that and FFX does no less. These extra-activities were mainly mini games that serves to unlock special weapons... plus, a certain something called Blitzball:
    A side-game tied both with FFX lore and with various characters background. Great addition.

    But... there are flaws. Mainly in the battle system:
    This FF comes without an ATB system, rendering the fights more dull and slow.
    In other words: A bit too easy and unchallenging (the main story battles at least).

    . Leveling system. Different from standard leveling, requires more intelligence to navigate it.

    . Lore. It's a 9/10. The concept that sustain the lore is beautiful: a being that haunts humankind and cannot be defeated easily. Besides that the interpretation of Sin realized by the factions in the game shows similarly some approaches of real problems today.
    . Soundtrack. The singles "To Zanarkand", "Wandering Flame" and "hymn of the faith" must be in the top 100 video-game songs of all time.

    --> Negative points:

    . Unskippable cut scenes.

    . Random encounters battle system. In a J-RPG supposedly the player should explore, but the random encounters move the player in another direction.

    . Censorship. In my country, it’s 10 years old censorship. Man, if this final fantasy was 18+ and the authors added some adult stuff like blood and violence. That would improve the lore and experience of a world that mankind isn’t the true ruler a lot. Spira in real life would be pretty violent.    … 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. I would consider it one of better Final Fantasy games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Final Fantasy X is a very linear JRPG with a lot of history, my type of game

    The story of this game is very good overall. It already starts in action, with a very good sequence of events. After that she has more of a comedy feel to it (I didn't like it that much) and later it became a very emotional and heavy thing (from the arrival in the first boat village, when Yuna dances, the story starts showing her true face, I started to like it) . But the introduction of the party characters I found was weak, it was very fast and with no time to establish them (Wakka's was the best). The policy in this Final Fantasy is subtle, being directly affected constantly by the party in the course of the story but only in two moments is the party affected by it (I wish there was a little more focus on it).
    The way it is told is generally phenomenal, but there are some moments that I thought were not very good. The lore of this world is very good, but if you don't 'search' it extremely deeply, just reading on the internet to understand everything. Another problem is that it is somewhat understood.
    It is normal for the part of the revelation about the dream that you 'get lost' a little bit in the story, the screenwriter threw a bunch of questions at once, you already had some and the worst is that even finishing the game some of them are not answered or are implied. Tidus' Zanankard was very poorly explained, they needed to have detailed how certain events were possible in more detail. Besides, for me, his defects are how the screenwriter treated Seymour, the weak introduction of the characters, the drama of Tidus in the city of Al Bhed (I didn't really like the execution), I thought there were too many things implied in this game, both concepts and parts of the story and the way the 'final solution' was simply given to the party I found it weak.
    Seymour is a good character with a deep and tragic background. I really liked your role in the story and the wedding arch was pretty cool (one of the best parts of the game). But unfortunately I thought that its potential was wasted by the tiny focus on its history and its goals. What's the use of having a good and thoughtful story if the player doesn't see it (I read it on the internet, I don't know where this information comes from, maybe sidequests)

    The characters in the game are good and have a decent amount of interaction between them (I wanted more, but I'm boring with that). The party changed throughout the journey, everyone developing during the journey, some really changed, some had changes in their beliefs and others matured. I would say that mainly Yuna, Tidus and Wakka. Some of the party characters also have 'subarches' of their own in the narrative, but some don't ...

    The gameplay surprised me a lot, I could make a graphic remake. It is very deep, fun and keeps you entertained. The camera during combat, although occasionally confused, I liked a lot. Good boss fights, several different mechanics in them. Overdrive was something I found very interesting, a mechanic that makes the game more dynamic and fun. The sphere grid seemed quite absurd at first but in fact they did something phenomenal, evolving your character became fun, challenging and very rewarding (apart from one more interaction with the gameplay by the 'extra' spheres). Blitzball is very complex, which I found interesting since it is only a very secondary thing in the game.

    The graphics are decent and a lot is due to the mods so I recommend playing on the PC. But to make this game in its best possible way it took time, I downloaded several mods (texture and reshade), I had to use a patch from the internet to fix a bug in it (green screen), I changed a configuration on my video card and downloaded one app to check the relationship points of the characters. But it was worth it. The cinematics are fantastic, and there are surprisingly high numbers of them. The character model outside the cutscenes has no facial emotion. And Tidus' model itself is very bad (outside of cutscenes). Another thing that bothered me was that at different times the characters cry but the tears don't appear (the player only knows that they are crying because some other character comments on this).

    Very good level design and considering the season it is something out of this world. Okay puzzles (I found 'bad', Bevelle's temple, the problem is not solving, the problem is that getting around there is very boring and time consuming)

    Yunalesca is a boss nonsense, Seymour in flip flops (it may be because I was well underleved in her ¯ _ (ツ) _ / ¯). Until the boss fight at Mt. Gagazet the game was okay okay in difficulty but after that the difficulty curve gives a considerable jump in general, maybe the game was made thinking that the player does the sidequests that make you well OP, because some bosses fights are very difficult from then on (it is worth noting that some definitely are not)

    Also really good soundtrack    … Expand

I loved the characters development and each character's personality brought something special to the table. I'd say my only problem with this game was the voice acting. it was lacking in emotion and at times the characters sounded very robotic. Despite this the game is a must play!!

    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

Voice acting could be better, but some performances were excellent including voice of Wakka, i.e also John DiMaggio, voice of Bender in the wonderful comedy Wow - this is the first Final Fantasy game I played, and I have to say I enjoyed every moment of it.

A fantastic, addictive, game that I reccommend to anybody of any age interested in video games.… Expand

    A compelling story with unique outlooks on a classic gameplay style. With tons of depth to both the main storyline in gameplay and story, with hours of sidequests that contain incentive to complete, you will be glad to have gone on one of the most prized experiences the PS2 has to offer.

    in theory this game SHOULD be a 10. but it loses one point for the flawed battle system and one for the flawed blitzball. why oh why do i have to switch in a character to perform a perfunctory action like blocking just to get him some exp? why cant all characters level up together? this makes battles drag on literally twice as long as they should do. *wags finger at squaresoft* , bad in theory this game SHOULD be a 10. but it loses one point for the flawed battle system and one for the flawed blitzball. why oh why do i have to switch in a character to perform a perfunctory action like blocking just to get him some exp? why cant all characters level up together? this makes battles drag on literally twice as long as they should do. *wags finger at squaresoft* , bad squaresoft. and blitzball, while awesome, is so damn easy i can win the league first year with hardly trying and winning 6-0 every time gets old fast. but the battles and blitzes are still good enough as they are for this to be a damn fine game. graphically it stills holds up even now in 2009. people whining that tidus isnt whiny and emo are just whiny and emo. so what if he's cheerful for once, big deal. and if the previous FF games had voice acting, do you really think it would be much better sounding? how id love to hear yuffie and aeris peircing my eardrums with their shrill whining. such a SHAME i cant hear cait sith or squall moaning about how his big gunblade hurts his girly arms. lastly, for me the religious mumbo jumbo was completely yawn inducing and the 'fantasy' element was seriously lacking. traipsing through long boring nameless woods or mountain ranges is just dull. at least the previous games could make such locations really shine but that seems to be lost with the more modern graphics that were still in their infancy in 2001. ok, done, just had to vent my spleen. chow. oh and er, play it!… Expand

    I love this game. The battle system is the greatest, no stress to choose action. The story is really good and sad. I like the game so much I've played it like five times

    This is a great game for the final fantasy series. I have played almost every game in the final fantasy series (available in America at least) and this is by far the best one yet! The voices are awesome much better than the constant reading of old. And the ability to switch out all of the players in battle is the best idea square has added since the ability to summon.

I love this game but i must point out the flaws blitzball is not really that fun of a game they make it WAY too hard at first giving you the shaft for the first couple of games. And some of the voices seem like bad dubs from old godzilla movies. And their is no leveling which is a real bummer add the disenchanting way of obtaining abilities( it looks more like a maze) this are problems that need to be addressed in the next game. But i hear it will be online so i guess we can kiss the game goodbye. if only a system like ff7 matera was incorporated this game would be almost perfect but it is still a 10 because the graphics are ungodly and you will love playing it.… Expand

    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.
