    The Final Fantasy atmosphere is there, graphics are OK, but characters have stiff movement. Main character is annoying and sub-characters hard to love. The skill upgrade system is unique and good. Fight system turn-based and feels dynamic. Music score great. Game pretty linear until you played more than 10/20 hours. Just can't bother finishing the second time I tried several years later.

    The game has excellent combat mechanics and the story is interesting, but I'm not sure why this one gets a pass for its linearity while XIII gets bashed by everybody.

    This is based on only playing about 5 hours of X. I have not delved into X-2. I'll give it a benefit of the doubt on some stuff, like being ancient in terms of gamer time, but I doubt I will reach hour 6. Maybe it was more revolutionary back when it came out (I didn't play it then), but this has got to be one of the most ridiculously cut-scened game I have ever "played".

Maybe it was more revolutionary back when it came out (I didn't play it then), but this has got to be one of the most ridiculously cut-scened game I have ever "played". About 12 minutes of the game has been actual gameplay so far. It wouldn't be so bad if I could skip the cut-scenes or if they weren't so f*cking stupid. I get that there are messages to be had and emotions to be felt, but this is about the least interesting and/or non-abrasive way in which I could receive those messages and emotions. I went in looking for a decent turn-based RPG (which seemed to be shaping up battlewise rather well in the miniscule amount of battle time there was) and ended with a 138 minute tutorial of blitzball I had no desire to learn. I would've stuck with it had they allowed me to skip the bullsh*t, but instead decided to put the final nail in the coffin that sealed away any remaining interest I had in the Final Fantasy worlds. I played and liked 1 and 7 (many years ago), but 13 and now this? No thanks.… Expand

    FINAL FANTASY X 7/10 - By far one of the better Square-Enix games in recent years. The game introduces the sphere grid leveling system for the first and only time which is a bit sad considering how good it was for the min-maxing completionist and gave the game plenty of reason for spamming the Battle Arena to fight some of the toughest enemies in the game. The story to the game is deepFINAL FANTASY X 7/10 - By far one of the better Square-Enix games in recent years. The game introduces the sphere grid leveling system for the first and only time which is a bit sad considering how good it was for the min-maxing completionist and gave the game plenty of reason for spamming the Battle Arena to fight some of the toughest enemies in the game. The story to the game is deep and was truly the last Final Fantasy game to date that really wanted you to see it's end. The musical score to the title was one of the series best. The game is packed with content and hands down has the best mini-game of all time; Blitzball. The major set back to this game was how slow the battle pace was during each fight. Great entry to the series and a title to be proud of. For the trophy hunters, achieving a platinum for Final Fantasy X is a walk in the park.

    FINAL FANTASY X-2 3/10 - The first Final Fantasy game ever to be a direct sequel and wow was this title pathetic. In short, this game is reminiscent to Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. Meaning, it is a game created specifically for girls or old men with cartoon fetishes. The story falls flat, dull, too light hearted and absolutely boring. The battle system re-introduces job based classes to the mix and is a lot quicker than FFX which was a relief. However, the sad truth is 90% of the jobs are useless and purely put in the game to watch the characters transfer from one skimpy outfit to another. Blitzball was re-introduced as a "manager mode" style which failed to capture the original beauty of the game. Although this title had alot more things to do in content the title fell short in every aspect. A game to miss. For the trophy hunters be warned, Final Fantasy X-2 is quite easy however annoying and will require a game percentage step-by-step guide to ensure a 100% play-thru on the first attempt.

    Combining both game scores this title has been given a 5/10.    … Expand

    There are two reasons to put the HD Remaster on the shelf – it’s an example of how magnificent Final Fantasy once was (X) and the evidence of how low it fell (X-2). [06/2014, p.63]

    The refurbishing team did a great job. Both games look quite fashionable and show their resistance to age. [Issue#241]

    Final Fantasy X is a true masterpiece and one of the best JRPGs of all time. FF X-2 is a decent addition to the franchise. Combine these two games in an HD version with a budget price and you get a superb deal.
