All Good Games have Bad Bits

This is a fun game, where the main characters actually stay in character. Coming from someone who ownes a greater portion of the Final Fantasy series on varies (recent) platforms, take my word for it, its nice that they stay in character. Tidus is bright and esentially optimistic, Lulu is kinda creepy goth (in a good way), Waka is mildly bigoted but esentially good hearted, Kimari is silent and thoughtful, and Riku is a bundle of kinetic energy looking for an outlet. The fact that they stay in character the entire game is one of the things I LIKE about this, compared to earlier games in the series *coughsevenandeight* where the main character is supposed to be silent and broody but ends up chatting away with everyone. Just a tip for squaresoft, silent and broody is fun, but talkative and reasonable Stay fun longer.

As for the graphics and voice acting, they were wonderful! Not quite what I actually wanted when the game came out, but wonderful! I was and still am rather fond of the silent games, the ones that can be played late into the night without disturbing the daytime dwelling denizens of a household, but the voice acting does add certain elements to the game. For one thing you don't have to guess what inflections their using to guage mood or seriousness of a given coment. Sometimes when playing a silent game, its hard to decide whether a comment is supposed to be said seriously, or whether the character is being sarcastic.

Now, for the level system. I'm NOT fond of the sphere grid in this game, buying the abilities with the spheres and moving around by spending levels. Sure, its a great way to customize your character, but you never, ever have enough spheres and that just sux. Not only do you have to spend them on the characters, but to get the sumon monsters to be any good you have to spend a ton of spheres on them too. Not my favorite way of doing things to be honest, but its a bit better than the ff8 system.

One last thing, this game definitely has re play potential. For one thing, there are many early scenes with the al bhed language that cant be understood till you get the primers, and you can only get the primers by playing through the game. For another, there are many side things that can and should be done but can take a bit of time to ferret out.

All in all, a pretty good game, highly worth it to any fan of the series, or any rpg fan looking for something new.

Outstanding

I found this game to be very fun and entertaining for several hours. It has great graphics and a cool battle theme. If you are looking for a fun rpg to play for hours on end this is the game. The only complaint I have on the game is the mini-game it makes you play part way through. I found the mini-game extremely hard and boring.

Good oldschool

One of the best Final Fantasy games out there (there are more bad ones than good). I still like VIII more, though. X is good if you've got lots of time to kill completing this 100%.

BEST PS2 RPG EVER!!!

This game is the first full-fledged RPG (and consequently first Final Fantasy played also), and it's AMAZING!!! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, about this game, from the storyline, to the music, to the leveling up system, is awesome.

Stunning!

I never realy liked turn based RPG. But when I bought Final fantasy 10 it changed my mind for ever. In the first place I did not enjoy TB(rpg)'s is for the single reason that the gameplay was way to slow and never really kept my intrest. But what makes FF10 an exepction is it's simple but complex battle system almost never ruined the pace. And with the additon of voice acting and a story like no other made it better then the rest. Therefore, FF10 should be your game of choice when it comes to TB(rpg).

A great Final Fantasy

Though all games in this series seems to be a hit, the Final Fantasy series is Hit and Miss with me. This is one of the Hits for me. If you like traditional J-RPGs you will love this one. I found myself lost for many hours at a time in this universe. The main story arch is engrossing and there are also plenty of fun side quests along the journey.

A masterpiece

For years now Final Fantasy games have been providing the gaming world with countless hours of gaming with the remarkable series. And with the exception of Final Fantasy VII, this may be the best one yet.

This game introduces voice actors to the game, which provides a very pleasant change. The graphics are also far beyond any game created to that point. The movie scenes in particular are simply brilliant as demonstrated by the scene of Tidus and Yuna in the water which may be the most stunning display of digital art that has ever been seen.

But once you get past the look of the game you'll find yourself immersed in an intricate story line. It centers around the journey to defeat a monster named Sin and restore peace to the world of Spira. Each character has a distinct personality and early on creates a feeling of care for each one. Underneath the main plot lies a beautiful love story centered around the main character, Tidus, and the summoner, Yuna.

This game introduces a different way of getting stronger in battle with the Sphere Grid. The characters gain experience in battle to get sphere levels which allow the characters to move around the grid. Also various spheres are found in battle which activate the different nodes on the grid.

The Limit Break or Overdrive is also different in this game. a characters Overdriva gauge is charged by whichever mode the character is set in, whether it be by taking damage, dealing damage, defeating a monster, and many others.

Overall, this game is magnificent and will have you hooked from the first time you play it. This game easily stretches into 50 hours of gameplay, and will have wanting to replay it again and again.

Its Final Fantasy is anything extra needed?

This is yet another fantastic game created by squaresoft for our entertainment. As long as you are able to get around some of the main characters faults ie) complaining and whining. The story and gameplay are a blast as well as the new skill ... orb ... thing is a lot of fun to learn to use. The cinematics are "FINAL FANTASY" amazing ofcourse. Otherwise it would not be FINAL FANTASY

VERY TICKED OFF!!

i'm sorry, but im not a very happy camper with this final fantasy. sure the graphics r great, but itz nuthin compared 2 metal gear solid 2 n virtua fighter 4. and trust me, i know my rpgz, ecspecially final fantasy. i know that the usa never got the actuall copies of final fantasy 2,3, and 5. those of u who r confused saying "we got final fantasy 2 n 3, they were 4 super nintendo!!" have got bad info. Fnal Fantasy 2 n 3 were on the regular nintendo and 5 never came out (if u dont include final fantasy anthology). The onez for super nintendo were final fantasy 4 n 6. anyway, this is possibly the second worst final fantasy out there, the worst was 8. sorry, i dont like that u dont get levelz. it just doesnt feel right. the blitz ball thing was just a waste of time for squaresoft. not fun at all and can sometimez take forever just to finish one game. if this didnt have the final fanatsy label on it, i wouldve already returned and forgotten about it. save yourself some $$ and rent this one and see 4 yourself. ...........wait, dont even rent it, itz not even worth THAT much. letz just all pray and hope squaresoft will bring us another classic like final fantasy 4,6,7, and 9.all in all, DONT BUY, youll regret it.
