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

    Final Fantasy X was my first old Final Fantasy game. At first, I was concerned because it's old, but after few hours, things got better.
    Anyway, the story is amazing; it's probably one of the most emotional stories I've seen in a JRPG to be honest.
    The gameplay holds up well for the most part! It does feel a little bit clunky but it's still fun and more complex than I thought it would be.    Final Fantasy X was my first old Final Fantasy game. At first, I was concerned because it's old, but after few hours, things got better.

    The gameplay holds up well for the most part! It does feel a little bit clunky but it's still fun and more complex than I thought it would be.
    The main characters are pretty good and the protagonist got better in the process than I expected.
    The Sphere Grid is interesting and the RPG elements are servicable.
    The music is awesome, the set-pieces are nice and the CGI cutscenes are impressive!
    The graphics are outdated, obviously, but they are not bad.
    Unfortunately though, some minor elements in the game are outdated, including difficulty spikes.
    Also, the world design feels a bit too linear.

    Pros:
    + Fantastic storyline
    + Good characters
    + Gameplay holds up well for the most part
    + Sphere Grid
    + Beautiful music

    Cons:
    - Outdated minor elements
    - Difficulty spikes
    - Very linear

    Gameplay: 7/10

    - Really Great -
    Even after all these years, Final Fantasy X is still a damn great game.
    Some elements haven't aged well, sure, but the story is so good, it makes the experience worthwhile.

    Yes but only to those who like turn based combat and JRPGs.    … Expand

    Once again another amazing entry in the franchise.

    The graphics have also aged well for a ps2 game for the most part (some stiff facial animations here and there). The cinematics were also still very beautiful. The gameplay was classic turn base combat so that was fun.

    The gameplay was classic turn base combat so that was fun. The skill tree system was pretty sick and varied since all the characters trees connected and you can enter them and have like fusion characters.

    There was one boss in the middle of the game that was unnecessarily difficult and harder than the final boss so that kinda sucked but it was just the one.

    The characters were all fleshed out very well as well as the world they lived in. The story was one of the best yet, and honestly has my favorite ending of the entire franchise and it left me covered in goosebumps.

    And who can forget the music, some of the best I've heard come from the franchise and with such variety too. Also a nice touch to be able to change between the og synth music and the new orchestra covers.

    The all star cast was pretty cool too, with people who need no introduction like James Arnold Taylor, Tara Strong, and Tom Kenny. Aswell as the person who voices robin in the teen titans cartoons, and the voice actor of Bender from futurama John DiMaggio with many others as well.

    Overall I'd give this one a 9/10 and from what I've played of X-2 so far it's looking to be just as good.    … Expand

    Graphics are a hit or miss for people. The content added is interesting and this is the only way to play these games on the current consoles. X-2 is utter garbage and should be fully avoided, X is the best it's ever been, again, if you don't mind the different graphics.

    FF X is a great game overall, with some minuses which refer to the fact that the game was developed a long time ago. FF X-2 I didn't like at all from the first glance, so I will talk only about FF X.

    - Interesting story to follow, the good atmosphere of the world
    - A lot of cut scenes
    - The great character progression system

    Cons:

    - The biggest annoying factor of this FF is minigames, they are weird and no fun at all, and you cannot skip them
    - You cannot skip cutscenes, which is especially critical at the end of the game with hard boss fights
    - You cannot load the game in the menu, only from the title screen. Annoying.
    - Random encounters are too often. Practically every 10-15 seconds of walking u have to fight, even if you go back. This is especially annoying at the end of the game, where some fights with regular mobs are like a mini-boss fight. You can skip them, but still...
    - Fixed camera, after some time you get used to it.
    - I would like to have more full description of the enemies, their weaknesses, that you can get from the scan spell. You can still experiment and find those weaknesses, but there are so many of them possibly...
    - The main story of the game and quantities of fights was more than big enough for me, to skip any other side quests.    … Expand

    I'm just gonna say this straight. FFX-2 is the BEST FF game to play. The combat is fun, the music is fantastic, the characters are fun, it's a a great game.
    FFX though is okay. The story is pretty good but it's dumbed down by one of the worst FF protagonists ever. Not to mention how easy the game is. The final battle is amazing, but that's about the only part of the game that stuck out to me.

    My rating is for Final Fantasy X only. This collection is worth it just for that game.

    Before Nier, Final Fantasy X was the most beautifully tragic story in a game (to me). If you're into tragedies in games, this is a must-play. It's coherent, meaningful, has adult themes, and there's not too much juvenile nonsense going on. I believe this was also the last true turn-based battle    My rating is for Final Fantasy X only.

    Before Nier, Final Fantasy X was the most beautifully tragic story in a game (to me). If you're into tragedies in games, this is a must-play. It's coherent, meaningful, has adult themes, and there's not too much juvenile nonsense going on.

    I believe this was also the last true turn-based battle system in a Final Fantasy game, and it's excellent. You will die frequently if you don't employ any strategy (unlike most jrpgs these days), and you have all of the time in the world to make your decision since it is a real turn-based game.

    It also encourages you to frequently swap characters (can be done on the fly during battle with no repercussions), so you're not stuck in a situation where you only use certain characters and all of the others end up unused and under-leveled.

    Here's the general downsides of the game which may or may not bother you:
    - The random battles are very frequent compared to modern games.
    - The HD updates are inconsistent. They basically only updated the main character's heads. When scenes switch between showing your characters and an un-updated character or un-updated part of your character, immersion is broken a bit.
    - There's still a bit of jitter in the character motions. I believe this was one of the first games were the motions of the characters were done by motion-capture actors, so there's jitter in almost all motions. It was smoothed out a lot for this HD remaster, though.
    - English voices only. Thankfully the English voice acting is above-average, even compared to modern games.
    - The game is very linear. It's meant to tell a single set story, so you won't find a lot of possibilities for deviation.
    - Although the story is very good overall, there are quite a few generic bad guys who give unconvincing reasons as to why they're bad / want to kill everyone / want to destroy the world.

    And finally, I will say that this is a standard sort of story, like most games (and unlike the Nier games), meaning that you'll be able to understand the full thing just by watching someone else play it rather than playing it yourself. Not that this is a bad thing, but Nier just set a whole new bar in storytelling.

    Quick impressions of the other included games:

    I forced myself to complete X-2 this time around (I couldn't do it when it originally came out). All of the good and tragic storytelling from X isn't here. X-2's story is comparable to a typical power rangers episode and is downright juvenile in my opinion. It's like we're watching our heroines regress into teenagers rather than growing as individuals. But if you don't mind that sort of thing and just want more Yuna, you might find something to like here.

    X-2's battle mechanics went bonkers and there's not much strategy other than picking the dress sphere (class) that counters your enemy and holding down X while your characters auto-attack. There's more to it than that with some boss fights, but holding down X is what you'll be doing for most of your battles.

    I couldn't force myself to complete the X-2 final mission game, which is a grid-based, turn-based dungeon crawler. It's fiddly to control and the camera angle and screen-covering text boxes aren't things that I like.    … Expand

    I have played FF 1,7,8,9 and I can easily say that 10 bests them all. Being able to use every character in any given battle is really fun. I spend time figuring out ways to beat bosses without relying on summons, which is sometimes a puzzle in itself.
