This is the best PS2 RPG I have ever played!
Although linear in format, the game has the most complex storline, animated movies, character developement, items and treasure. This was my first introduction to playing the Final Fantasy series and I absolutely love it. It is destined to be labled as a classic in console gaming.
I could go into great detail about the game, but many reviewers have touched on it's pros and cons. The cons are heavily outweighed by the pros. Buy this game over any other RPG if you are going to buy an RPG for the first time, I cannot believe you will be sorry.
THIS IS A CLASS ACT in game programming. The execution is flawless. Awesome! BUY IT!
Al the Guy who LOVES Final Fantasy Games!

OH MY GOODNESS! Final Fantasy X is one of the best RPGS ever made! It's definitely up there with Final Fantasy VII! The graphics were "the Cream of the Crop" and the gameplay was easy to learn and MAGNIFICENT! Even the mini-games (especiallt the Chocobos and Blitzball) were almost a game in the game itself! The storyline was great and it wasn't too difficult to understand, although the end (find out yourself!) did leave questions (that's why Final Fantasy X-2 is coming out, which by the way I pre-ordered). Overall, you should definitely buy this game because you are definitely missing out if you don't. Here the Scores:
Graphics: 10+
Gameplay: 10+
Storyline: 10+
Replay Value: 10+
Overall Opinion: BE A GOOD BOY OR GIRL AND BUY IT! YOU WON"T REGRET IT!

I really wanted to like this game, and I did at first. The graphics are fantastic, though still spotty in some places. I like the concept of having voice actors rather than reading script, but the dialogue was terrible, and so were the deliveries. Tidus was a whiny baby at the beginning, but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, hoping that he'd stop whining. HE DIDN'T. He's rather pathetic, and just embarrassing to watch at times. For the most part I like the rest of the characters, though the interaction between Yuna and Tidus made me cringe. The attack style is an improvement on previous final fantasies in that you can swap out characters in battle. You have access to all the characters, not just a party of three. The storyline has some interesting twists, though I'm not very sympathetic to any problems Tidus has. The other characters aren't nearly so irritating. I like the overall concept of movie/game, but it could have been much better.
My final analysis is that this game would be SO much better without Tidus. Since he's the main character, he's hard to avoid. Here's looking forward to FFX-2!
Excelente game

One of the best final fantasy's, not the best because that tittle belongs to FF VIII, but an excellent game with a nice story and characters. A must have if you are fan of the RPG's
One of the best in the series

I've owned this game for many years and still can say I, on occasion, love to just resart the whole thing over again just to experience it all again. Everytime I reminesce about the game all I imagine is pure magic.
I love the characters and how complex each personality is. I know some people who have personalities just like these people (Albeit they dont say "ya" all the time). They all can also teach you moral lessons in life. Like Wakka learning not to be racist (technically that's pretty much what he was)and Tidus discovering deep down, he really does love his father.
When it came to graphics, this game was a cut above the previous. The colors and textures.So much detail in the ememies you fight as well as the allies you fight alongside. I remember walking through Macalania forest for hours just to look at the shiny crystals bounce colors off themselves and thinking "Why isn't there a real forest as lovely as this one?" The cut scenes, i love! Especially the one where Yuna sends the sprits of the dead off to the Farplane.
The music, oh, the music! Nobuo Umetatsu proves he is a large piece of what is the final fantasy series and I love that I can buy the songs and the cutscences and watch them whenever. Who can beat the "Hymn of the Faith"? (Note: Did you know each summon has their own version of the song?) You will also love songs with lyrics and without. "Suteki da Ne" is a lovely song and "Otherworld" will leave your neck sore from headbanging to it's crazy guitar riffs.
The story line was better than I thought it would be. I really anticapated that the story would fall short. But it goes on just like a movie. Some parts of the story you might not comprehend but I had to play the game a second time to get a few of the tiny pieces of the story, especially surronding the other characters and their backgrounds.
The only thing I would change comes to parts of the voicing. Rikku and Auron where probably the two voices I liked. I know there is an option to put and take off subtitles. Possibly, they should have and option to take off the voice and only leave on subtitles. but I can live through voicing that arent the greatest.
This is my favorite in the series

I love this game. Hands down it's my favorite in the series. Back when I was in college this came out and my friend bough it. The next 140 hours of our free time was dedicated to this. (I'll have to say that probably 60 was due to ultimate weapon getting and blitzballing)(we were really bad blitzball players)And there was a bad obsession on my part for finding every single possible thing to be found.
The fighting style is turn based, so you can think about what you need to do and go through varies options (like what do you want Rikku to "mix" to attack the enemy). It's not very quick paced, but the storyline is sweet. And yes, I mean sugar sappy sweet that an entire new game was created BASED off that sugar sappy sweetness (X-2). But it's good, it wasn't unbearable.
Since it came out me and my friend have easily played it a dozen times. So it has replay value.
The story is linear, and the map is simple. I like easy maps because I get lost easily in real life! The leveling up system is called a "sphere grid" which is actually super easy to use, so your character can take on whatever attributes you want, no one character is stuck in a role.
The only real down side is that you can't adjust the camera angles and you can't "x" through the cut scenes.
Overall, it's still a great game and I recommend it to anyone who likes the final fantasy legacy.
Might be the best in the series

Final Fantasy X has got to be one of the greatest games in the FF series, and definitely one of the top titles on the PS2 (assuming you are at least a casual fan of RPGs). In terms of graphics, story, playability and replay value, X easily ranks with the PS1 Final Fantasy games (VII-IX). The addition of voice acting is really what elevates this game from its predecessors. Instead of wading through hours of text and watching silent-movie style cutscenes, you now actually have a chance to hear the characters express themselves. The voice acting is almost uniformly top-notch and is a real treat to listen to.
The main complaint about FFX seems to be how linear it is. Yes, it's true that there is no world map to explore, and you can't even revisit most areas until near the end of the game. Like every Final Fantasy, you do eventually get control of an airship, though it would have been nice if this occured sooner in the game. The role of Chocobos has also been downgraded somewhat, giving you control of the cute creatures in only very limited areas. But with these minor complaints aside, FFX is blissfully fun to play not only for the story and main quest, but also for the multitude of side areas and challenges. It took me 60 hours to beat the game with only about 5-10 hours dabbling in the sidequests... considering that this game retails for less than $20, that's some pretty good value.
If you are new to the Final Fantasy series and RPGs in general, you might be better off starting out with FFIX or FFVII as they have simpler interfaces compared to FFX's sphere grid. But this is by no means a difficult game to get into, and should be an excellent and well-loved addition to your game collection.
i loved it!!!!!!!!!!

i really enjoyed this game. one of my favorites, i am a final fantasy fan and have all the games. this game really got me involved and i really found the charecters so very likeable that it made gameplay more enjoyable. i regret not having had the game book in the beginning as there are many areas that can be overlooked and still be able to complete the game. i was rather sad when i finished the game. beginning is rather tedious, but once past the starting it is about the best!

Final Fantasy X was a great game... so long as you can ignore Tidus's continual whining and his obsession with his 'story.'
It sets you into an interesting plot and puts faction against faction in an exciting story which rivals many of the stories of previous Final Fantasy's. It was also the first Final Fantasy to include talking so it added something new to the whole series.
The character models were beautiful as well along with the music and the story was filled with a large selection of mini games to choose from. Generally it was a solid game and still would be fun to engage in today.
Definitely worth playing if you haven't already.
