Terrible

This has to be the lamest excuse for an RPG ever created. The story has little depth, the characters are bland and the sphere level system is very tedious and annoying. There is no reason why anyone should waste their $20 on this mundane pile of fecal matter when there are far superior RPGs out there such as Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, Chorno Trigger, Chrono Cross... the list is endless.

Thumbs down on all accounts.

Boring, unless you play games to watch movies

I admit this is the first Final Fantasy game I have played, so maybe the others are like this one. However, I can't see how a series can be so popular if all you do is watch the game being played in front of you.

Another thing that I will admit is that I haven't finished it. I only played it for a total of 3 hours. The truth is it is too boring to continue.

The graphics are great, but the story is stupid. You can't move two steps without having to watch a 3 minute movie. When you do get to move you can't possibly go in the wrong direction or make a mistake. It is way too linear.

The battle sequences are moronic. You take a turn, then the person you play takes a turn, then the enemy takes a turn. There is no defense or strategy to it. Absolutely stupid for a PS2 game.

My main gripe is the lead character. I hate him. I have no interest in controlling a ignorant surfer-dude. He should have died in the flood.

Don't waste your time with this game.

One of the most beautiful games I have ever seen.

The cut scenes are absolutely beautiful, though... perhaps too lengthy at times. On the whole, it didn't other me *too* much. But throughout the game I kept thinking how beautiful everything looked. The scenery was wonderful, the characters looked great, everything about the game was aesthetically breathtaking.
So, I came in with the want to truly like the game. I liked most of the previous Final Fantasys (though 8 was lowest on the list) and this looked fun.
The sphere system was interesting. I personally liked it because it was a nice break from the regular systems and though it wasn't the *best* system, I didn't think it was that bad. The system alone I'd probably give about 3.5/4 stars.
However, the story did not draw me in at all and the more I played, the more my hate for Tidus and Yuna grew. Especially Yuna. Everything about her annoyed me--her voice, the way she acted, her clothes, her face (which I thought was pretty before I hated her) and everything. Gah! She was the most annoying character I have ever come across, tons worse than Rinoa.
Anyway, I began to hate Yuna so much I would get agitated and annoyed everytime I played Final Fantasy X so I stopped playing about 20 hours in. Now, if FFX had a really wonderful story, I would have kept playing despite the annoying characters. But since I stopped, there was obviously nothing there that really made me want to play.
I suppose if you liked Rinoa and you like annoying type of female leads and stupid male leads and pretty graphics, you'll probably like FFX. I for one, would much rather play another game that has a better story and characters but may not be as visually attractive.

If it ain't broke,DON'T fix it!!

It's been said that "if it ain't broke,don't fix it."So why then does Square soft keep "fixing" the classic elements of the FF series that so many veteran players have grown to love??Square tired to change things drastically in FF8,and it failed HORRIBLY!
After playing FF9(which I rented BEFORE going straight out and buying it)I believed Square learned it's lesson with messing with a good thing,and that some times "old school" is truely the best option.FF10 completely destroyed my hope by changing everything....mostly for the worst!

The mini-games are WAY too deep and confusing,the experience gaining system was completely ruined with a "new" way,and both the characters and plot were very plastic and unconvincing!Why did they make the lead hero a cocky,arrogant sports player??I actually hated the hero in the story!He kept making these "witty" remarks which were,well....anything but!This also brings me to the VERY BAD voice acting!It reminded me of a Pokemon or Dragonball Z episode....yech!!The only impressive thing about FF10 is the graphics,but I'm not throwing down [money] for mere eye candy!Besides didn't Square try to make a FF movie relying soley on graphics??Look what happened to it!I'll stick with good ol' fashioned 4,5,6 and 7.Think I'll go ahead and pass with the whole online only 11th installment of this series as well!

This game isn't that great!!!!

If you are thinking about buying this game...think again! It's not that it's that bad...it's just not that good either. I bought it from a friend, and at first glance, it looked good. Graphics were great and sound was ok. Then the game started. Just because you have voice-acting capability doesn't mean you have to use it! I'd much rather have a few more hours of gameplay and not have voice dialogue! Well, battle systems and power-ups are good for a FF game. My next big complaint is the characters? What the? Can anyone say FF8 re-visited? Tidus looks like Squall, Yuna looks so much like Rinoa, I call her that all the time. They all look like FF8 characters somehow. Blitzball (Sidegame) is actually pretty fun. That's the best part of the game, I've spent more time playing that than the actual game. After so many power-ups, the game becomes redundant. It'll take you 1 hour to beat the final bosses. This was a big disappointment! Where are all the side-quests? Where is the freaking overworld? Not there! This'll keep you occupied for a few hours, but the storyline [is bad]!

I don't understand the hype.

To be fair, this game has amazing graphics. The sound is also superb. However, I have to give it only 1 star because you don't actually get to play the darn game. I spent 2 hours in one sitting "playing" this game after initially opening it, and I felt like I had just watched a movie with no plot or ending. Bottom line: if you're not an avid role-playing-gamer, this game is probably not for you, especially with its turn based play that leaves you feeling as though there is no real action to be experienced in playing this game.

This game is a terrible game! I hated it in every way! The game involved little play, most of it was movies. It was almost like pokemon yellow in the fighting system. The grapics were good but only is some scenes. In the rest, the grapics were grainy. The bosses past the half point of the game were super impossibly hard to beat. Before the half point the bosses were super incedibly easy to beat. The storyline was non progressive.(it stayed the same through the whole game) There was a pokemon style of travel. You walk a bit, fight a bit, and thats about it. The cut scenes were SOOOOOOO LONG, and they wernt always with good grapics. Personally, the only thing that I would recommend this game for is to throw it in the trash.

Nothing compared to Final Fantasy 7

As the greatest Final Fantasy fan ever, I was very much looking forward to a true sequel to Final Fantasy 7, and I've always fantasized to myself about a FF game that was on a new generation platform. I thought FFX was going to be the game I was always waiting for, but sadly, I was mistaken.

First of all, they totally mucked up the graphics. Why did they have to move away from the elegance and beauty of the FF7 graphics? FFX is all smooth and shiny and stuff. Its totally just a cop-out made to look exactly like every other new RPG, rather than steering its own evolutionary course like FF7. Who thought this game would be better by adding more polygons? That is ridiculous.

Also, the story in FFX is more boring than church. They keep bashing you over the head with it again and again. I get it already. If you hate your father, and become a successful Fun-ball player, then you will create a giant sin ball that will destroy the fake fantasy world you just got transported to. Gotcha.

Whose bright idea was it to put voice acting in this game? Seriously, I can read. Those dumb-heads at Square have severely underestimated me by doing this. I read the FF7 script like five hundred times. Do you really think I want to listen to this long, boring story? No way. Also, their voices aren't right, and I hate them. Which reminds me, Tidus is stupid, and all whiny and wussy and stuff. He was like my worst character, nothing like the cold, calculating majesty of Cloud. Boo Tidus!

Also, the FFX mini-games aren't nearly up to par. Fun-ball and chocobo race just aren't any fun at all. Not like the brilliance of FF7's sub hunt, or board race, or mog's hidden fantasy castle adventure. Please. I'm going to spend hundreds of hours playing mini-games, so they should be good enough to be their very own game, like all of FF7's games. All the bonus stuff you can do in FFX was stupid and easy too. I killed the Ultimate weapon without even breaking the slightest of sweats, unlike the titanic struggle it was in FF7.

And what's the deal with the combat system? Its like they thought I was too stupid to do things with a little action bar, and now I need it to be turn based. And the summon animations only take like 30 seconds, so that you don't get the full majesty and wonderment of the spell. Sitting through all five minutes of Knights of the Round was a pleasure every time, and it gave me an unnerving sense of power. And I never needed to change out any member of my Cloud, Tifa, Cait Sith dream team in the middle of a FF7 fight, so why did they make FFX so stupid and hard and different and stuff so that sometimes I might want to switch people out. Sometimes I just don't understand those screw ups at Square at all.

Why can't they just let you level up in a normal way? That was very confusing. When you fight things, you get little balls or something, and you put them in a thing. I didn't really get it. You're supposed to just get experience points, and then every once in a while it says, "Godly Cloud has leveled up", and it plays the little song.

In closing, this game was pretty stupid, despite my expectations. I mean, as the greatest FF fan ever, I think I can tell these things, but this was just a hideous rehash of FF7, with nothing new added, and no innovation, and some huge backward steps in the story and character departments. You're probably better off just playing Final Fantasy 7: "The Sephiroth Wars", again, because it is awesome.

It's a waste unless you want a cartoon DVD

This, for me, was the biggest waste of money. It is an animated story that has very mild interaction. For me, it is not a game. If you want to watch a cartoon for most of the time and then play for a couple of minutes and then watch a cartoon for a while and then play for a couple of minutes, etc., etc., then you will love this game, otherwise save your money. If you really are curious, rent it first. This way you don't waste forty+ dollars like I did. The animation is good, but I'm not going to review this for game play, because I do not consider it a game. Some love this game, and some hate it.....This is a rent first, buy later (if you like it).
