Final Fantasy X - An adjustment but a great game!Review created: 02/13/06(updated 02/13/06)

For any perennial Final Fantasy purchaser this game may come as somewhat of a shock. It's the first Final Fantasy to incorporate vocals from each character and more importantly fail to provide players with the infamous world map. There is a map present where you can travel from town to town, but a series of lines and arrows guides you to your destination, in rather prompt fashion. There is no roaming around on a large world map and leveling up your party crew, which a typical RPG gamer might be used to. This game has far more animations than the previous games in the series. It seems like Square's idea here was to take advantage of the PS2's capabilities while still making a wonderful game simultaneously.
The first two hours into this game I was skeptical. The adjustment was too much for me after playing RPGs on the earlier consoles. Just as Final Fantasy VII was an adjustment for RPG gamers on the PS1, the same stands true for Final Fantasy X on PS2.
You will hear people love and hate on this game. It's true, you either love it or hate it. Many people I've talked to over the years who liked FF8, loved this game. I actually didn't play through it until my second time giving it a shot, some two years after owning it. After being adapted to PS1 and SNES RPGs my whole life I couldn't make the adjustment at first, but surely gave it another attempt. I completed through the whole game and thought it was amazing. The story is great, the battle system and sphere grid is a creative idea, and the animations were well constructed. Not to mention the absolutely wonderful soundtrack this game features.
I rate it as excellent, though it is more than far from the best RPG in the Final Fantasy series.
I will end it with this which should determine your decision, assuming you're a previous player of the Final Fatnasy games. If you're a SNES gamer who didn't like FF7, then this game is certainly not for you. For anyone willing to make the necessary adjustment from their previous RPG play then I would definitely recommend buying Final Fantasy X.
If you can't make the compromise you will not enjoy FFX.
If you're new to the whole RPG scene and have never played a FF game before then I would not recommend starting with this RPG. FF3, FF7, and FF9 should be played before this game.

I have been an avid Final Fantasy player since the games were first introduced, and I'm as moogle-recognizant as any other self-respecting FF follower. Each installment really tops the other, with continuing improvement, and I'm always happy with a new one. This one, however, really shot off the grid with me.
The story was a gripper from the beginning. Yes, the graphics are nothing short of spectacular, lush and colorful and detailed and unique to almost the point of dizziness. The game play is involved and interesting, allowing you to customize your game play to your own nature to a certain extent. But the story, and the characters, were what really sealed it for me. I don't hear many gamers talk too much about this, maybe it's just an oddity with me, but all the graphics in the world can't make up for a boring or confusing game that doesn't draw you in. From the beginning, the characters stand out with real personalities that shine through, especially with the new voice features and the incredibly lush cut scenes. You know from the beginning what's happening with Tidus and the other characters, and the gameplay is logical and proceeds chronologically, not much wasting time trying to figure out what you're supposed to do next. Young blitzball star Tidus is washed somehow into the future, or at least another dimension, and finds friends who will help him try to return home while he assists them in their endeavors.
The tough yet softhearted Tidus searches to return home while helping his new friends with their troubles; the boyish Wakka is the kind of best friend every guy should have and is an ebullient and lovable character; central character the lovely Yuna (Tidus' lady love)is beautiful and delicate looking which belies her strength of character and of faith; the legendary stern Auron is the seasoned pro that everyone looks up to, a font of wisdom and strength; the beautiful yet waspish Lulu is not as tough on the inside as out; the reticent Ronzo giant Kimahri is another pillar of strength for the inexperienced members of the group; and the upbeat and positive Rikku brings a splash of youthful innocence and delight. These completely believable characters and their unusual story make the rest of the superior aspects of the game such a joy.
There are lots of changes in the battle system and leveling up just like every other new installment, and the grid is an unusual and not overly difficult way of advancing. Everyone get their own customized equipment, and the magic spells are pretty interchangeable, which is a reverse on the usual setup. There are moogles, ships, airships, chocobas, monsters and bosses galore, a cool mini-game called blitzball that wasn't half bad, as well as friendship, love, revenge, betrayal, redemption, courage, and everything in between.
The different areas that the groups travels are another great highlight of the game, making it superior over any other I've played. I LOVED the Thunder Plains, with their ghostly looking lightning rod towers and craggy slopes; the sprawl of the Calm Lands; the snowy mountain peaks, underwater caverns, highroad, and desert locations; the unique cities and the temples, and the familiar powerful aeons.
This is a MUST for any serious RPG gamer, and one you'll enjoy over and over again. I would recommend a guide to help you with some of the side quests, as they enrich the gaming experience for you and are not easy to complete otherwise.

This game can describe itself for gamers. Those RPG attics like me drool over when Final Fantasy is about to be Released. This game has a great Battle System it is easy to use for New RPG gamers it takes aboout a Half Dozen Battles to get use to it. This game has stunning cutscenes and graphics. This is well worth any money for . You get 80 plus hours of addictive game play and a great story line to boot. This has a High replay value on my list of games.

Yet Another Home Run Game
) 7 of 13 people found this review helpful.
If you liked any of the Final Fantasy, this is another home run hit. Rather than copy and paste you information, just know that this is another beautiful complex story style RPG game with great CGI and 60+ hours of game play.
Pros:
1) Great Story
2) Self Contained finish to the story (sorta unless you plan on playing FFX-2)
3) Beautiful CGI
Cons:
1) Long hours to power up player
2) Harder to beat without fully exploring everything. I suggest you get a guide if you want to spend less time and enjoy the story of the game.

If you wish to have adventure, fantasy, and all of the RPG crave you've been looking for...stop no more. There is a reason why this is one of Squaresoft's last best sellers. There is a reason why everyone who is in the culture of Final Fantasy talks about this game. It has everything from the beautiful large maps, to a GREAT story line. If you have not played this I not only suggest....but I highly recommend it. Write me an email for more on this game. I don't want to spoil the game so I give it a solid 10/10.

Final Fantasy 10 is the game that brought full voice acting to the series as well as a boost in the graphics department. Being able to switch your characters in battle is also an added convenience and changes your playing strategy.
The Sphere Grid system to learn abilities allows for easier customization of characters and is simple to understand. With the ability to decipher and learn the 'Al Bhed' language and many other side-quests available, this game will keep you playing for many happy hours.

Cool game but not the bestReview created: 01/17/09

ach installment of the Final Fantasy series has featured strong storytelling, characterization, and strategic combat, fun minigames, and hours upon hours of captivating gameplay. The 10th title in the series is no exception. This is the first time a Final Fantasy game has appeared on the PlayStation2, and it takes full advantage of the increased technical capabilities.
The story this time concerns Tidus, a blond-haired star of a sport called Blitzball. While he is playing in a match, Tidus's city is attacked by an evil force called Sin, and everything is destroyed save Tidus and his guardian Auran. The adventure begins as the pair are somehow transported to another world. From here on, it's standard Final Fantasy gameplay: fight battles, manage experience points, learn new powers, and recruit a motley crew of nonplayer characters to join your quest.
The graphics, however, take things to a new level. They are amazing not only for their realism, but also for their imaginative art design. The world these heroes inhabit is breathtakingly beautiful, flowing, and full of inventive surprises. You haven't lived until you've surfed cables high in the air, or ridden a graceful airship through the clouds. The stunning effects are on display when you use magic in combat, summon gigantic monsters, and use fire columns to devastate your foes.
One new element is voice acting. The innovation yields predictably mixed results: it's wonderful to hear spoken dialogue rather than read subtitles, but as with most games translated from Japanese, the acting is mediocre and sometimes unintentionally hilarious.

This game was great. I loved the story, the graphics, the voices for the first time, the videos, the side quests, the mini games. It was all amazing. The videos are great because you can watch about 40 videos at the end whenever you want to, just go visit the theater. Blitzball, not my favorite at first, but once i had a good team, I could play for hours in a row. I was a little disapointed with the ending reward of this game, but that is about tis only flaw. Some of the side quests liek dodgeing lightning is fun at first, but if your trying for a special item that takes around 200 dodges it can get old an frustrating. But overall this game I thought was great.

Unfolds into a beautiful gameReview created: 01/18/06

I love role-playing games, and this game was so much fun. Final Fantasy X is a huge game with a strong story line, and options that make the game that much better. If you like sports games, you can play Blitz ball for a long time; it is a game unto itself.
If you like fighting games, you could level up your characters in the monster arena.
I do not care for either one and concentrated on the rpg part of the game play. At first, I was overwhelmed at the sphere grid, but if you don’t think about it, and start moving around the grid you will start to fill up all those empty areas. For the most part, I do not mind leveling up since that is what you do in role-playing games.
The opening is the best I have ever seen in a game. The world was huge and after a while you get the ship and have freedom to go anywhere in the world. I loved everything about this game; the game play, story line, characters, music, the way it looked and the voice acting.
If you enjoy role-playing games then this will be an easy one to like. I think this is a perfect game. I do not know what you would do to make it better; it is that wonderful.

There aren't words to describe my feelings for this game, but I will do my best.
When I first started out playing games, my mom bought FF1 for the NES... and I thought, "Wow. That's just.. stupid.." Because FF games for SNES weren't common around here, I never even knew another one was released until FFVIII. There was a demo at walmart one time. I played it a little bit and I thought to myself "Wow. This is just.. stupid again.. maybe ALL FFs are stupid?" Boy was I wrong. Through the power of the internet I got ahold on FF:MQ for SNES. I loved that game! Everyone seems to hate it though =(. So I decided that all FFs arent bad. So I got a PS2 for Christmas 3 years ago. Now.. I never had a PS1.. My last newest system I had was a SNES.... (Sad I know). So my mom got me FFX. Because she liked FF1. It turned out SHE /HATED/ FFX!! Because it was 'too 3D'. Psh she should try some of them other gams.. like Super Mario 64.. .. Now that.. is.. "Too 3D" Lol.. So i played FFX for awhile. I thought "This is kinda stupid. The game is way too dark.. So i stopped for awhile and played some more later. I was hooked. This goes to show you.. that even if you hold a grudge against a game, you might actually end up liking it.
Ok onward! FFX is an RPG. An RPG full of Love. I /LIKE/ love. :). So this was a real addicting game to me. I HAD to find out of Tidus got to be with Yuna. I just HAD to! So i played endless hours! I don't think I EVER got to a point i had to look for an online game because of stuckness. This game is so perfect. I love the battle system. I love the characters. I love the way the characters interact. I LOOOOOOOVE the music! Everything about this game is so perfect...
I have absolutely nothing negative to say about it. Besides perhaps.. it needed to be longer and more complete. *Gets hit by several people*
Perhaps FFX and X-2 Should have been rolled into one. And everyone should have gotten the good ending.. PLUS more! Even after playing FFX-2 I still feel that they should have more to the story.
OH! I DO have a complaint. Blitzball. I didn't like Blitzball. I liked watching it, but not playing it. XP
Eventually after beating FFX I wanted more! So i played FFX2.. And FFVII.. And FF Dawn of souls... and like 70 other FFs! The only one i havent played is FF XII. And I probably will never play it. Because its ONLINE. Which is stupid >_>
So... RUN.. RUN to your nearest store.. (Or ebay search box) and get FFX!! It's a great game. ^_^

This game is really fun to play. It can be difficult at times though. It can take forever to power and level up to beat bosses. I would say great for any Final Fantasy fan.

If you've never heard of Final Fantasy X or have only heard of it and never even seen it played, you just don't know what youre missing out on. This game is so exhilirating and the graphics are still today so kickass theres just too much good stuff to say. I never wanted to finish the game so I just ran around continually lvling all the characters up to insanely high levels. I would recommend this game over any other.

This is the first Final Fantasy installment involving a nearly total immersion experience with a 360 degree explorable world. Nearly seemless cutscenes between cinematics and gameplay were beautiful. Also, it has the most involving storyline up to its date. New comers to the series could enjoy it as much as FF veterans. Recommended for all RPG'ers.

Addictive gameplay, compelling story1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I'm not so much a Final Fantasy fan as a game connoisseur. For example, Final Fantasy 7 for me was a great game with a startlingly compelling plot, but the characters ultimately lacked the depth necessary to really feel connected to them, despite some really bright, shining moments.
Final Fantasy X is much the same. The gameplay is downright addictive. The idea of the sphere grid--the ability to take your characters off their own set path and down another, allowing for highly customizable strategies and a lot of replayability--is fantastic. And the blitzball mini-game is the main reason I picked up this game again after two years.
The plot is indeed compelling. Tidus and Yuna both have potentially powerful struggles they are working through. In fact, Tidus' unique conflict with his father is an outright heartbreaking idea. Some of the characters--Auron in particular--seem to say less than they mean, which lends a kind of mystery and intrigue to the story. Sometimes it leads you to believe it's going one way--perhaps toward an old cliche--then it suddenly turns it on its head.
I have to say, however, that the execution of the story is ludicrous. Any power the plot has is totally destroyed by the shallow way the plot is revealed, in part because of the weak voice acting on the part of the main character, and in part because of the script. Top that with a couple of nonsensical scenes where friendship is some kind of trump card that instantly defeats any kind of interpersonal conflict in the group, and any hope that you might ever sympathize with these characters--or even find them realistic, which is to say human--is utterly demolished.
Overall, though, the game is worth playing simply for the pure enjoyment. Even if it's not in the top three Final Fantasy stories of all time, it is one of the most fun games in the series.

Final Fantasy - Keep the Faith!1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
You've no doubtedly played any one of the previous Final Fantasy games before, now here's one more visually stunning than the rest (except maybe for FFXII, which I haven't played yet).
Anyways, if you're playing FF, it's most likely for the story. The gameplay is as diverse yet consistent as expected with the use of a "sphere grid" instead of leveling up. This gives you the ability to customize everyone to your liking. Or better yet, make them all (roughly) the same if you gain a ton of sphere levels.
But for most of us, the story is where it's at. As in every FF story, join a diverse group of characters as you adventure through a world in peril. In this one, get eatin by Sin, travel 1000 years into the future, fall in love (but deny it), kill lots of ugly bad things, hunt for cactau, help ensure chocobos don't go extinct, complete the ultimate pilgrimage, save the world(s), and all this while struggling with family problems (namely your dad). Every FF story is different and intruiging in it's own way, and FFX is another fine example.
Fall in love with the characters, and you may find yourself playing it again in a few years for nostalgia reasons (like those of you who have played FFII over and over again and became a paladin to fight your own brother... only to find out you had to go to the moon for more important reasons)
Yea... I'm a nerd.

Fun RPG in Final Fantasy series.1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Unless you got money to shell out to buy FF XII. X is basically the best in the series out there and fun too. Decent storyline and action. Worth the money if you can get it for under $20.

Fantastic Game! Great cut scenes and action!Review created: 01/12/07

Likes:
I like this game because of the great selection of weapons the players can choose from, the magic the players can use and the sweet short movie scenes throughtout the game. The game progresses quickly and it shows you how far in the game you are based on a map. What I also like is how the Aeons use special overdrive attacks when fighting large, hard to beat enemies.
Dislikes:
Some parts of the game are slow and you can not skip past the talking of everyone. Some of the converstaions of the characters are very long and detailed. I also don't like the bliztball game...you can never win and it seems like a waste of time.

another good FF game1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Although which FF game has the mechanically-best battle system is heavily debatable, FFX has the best-implemented battle system of the entire series, except possibly for FF Tactics. The battle screen in FFX loads quickly, battles are bug-free and the turn system in FFX takes into consideration character speed and execution time for moves, in order to determine when to give each character another turn, rather than working in battle rounds, like in FF 1-3. The result is a battle system tactically similar to the ATB system, except which allows for easy character and equipment swapping, and features no delay between the selection and execution of a move, keeping the battles moving along at maximum speed. The quality of battle action animations are at a series high in this game, and overkill bonuses, plus the ability to fight using Aeons, give the player extra battle mechanics to consider, just when hacking and slashing start to get a little dull. Although originating in Lunar, the in-battle voices in this game add a lot to it, with what characters say in battle often determined by the opponent, or combination of characters in the party, rather than merely the move being executed. The voice acting in FFX is generally high-quality, although the abundance of voice acting serves to disguise the fact that the characters have much less to talk about in FFX than in FFVII through FFIX. Like FFVII, FFX often features five-minute cut scenes filled with dialogue, although the actual amount of dialogue present in five minutes' worth of voice acting is significantly less than in five minutes' worth of text boxes, with the final result being that FFX features a shallower story with less character development. The game's story has an annoying pattern of explicitly emphasizing moral dilemmas which should already be obvious to the player, overemphasizing the emotion of particular scenes and allowing its characters to act too much like themselves. After the reasonably mature stories of FF7-9, this game's story comes off as positively childish, despite featuring a good amount of philosophical content regarding the nature of death, because the dialogue is written with a constant degree of paranoia that the player won't understand the significance of certain scenes, and most of the time, the characters exist not to interact, but rather to be different from one another. One particularly annoying flaw in FFX is the field exploration screen, where the edges of navigable areas do not in any way correspond with the position of walls and barriers, so the majority of the time, field avatar Tidus is exploring a dungeon or forest until he runs into a barricade of... absolutely nothing! This causes the player to spend more time looking at the minimap for the position of the abstract walls than the field screen for the position of the illustrated ones, and actually discourages the player from enjoying the level of detail that the illustrators have put into the game's environments. The music in FFX, while not bad, is also unspectacular.

I had never played Final Fantasy until a couple of years ago and I am saddened that I had missed out on it until then! I owned a Super Nintendo when I was little but always played the Mario games and never tried these. I highly recommend you play it and own it but I will warn you it's very addicting!
