Amazon.com Review
Each 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. Still, the game's new graphics engine and solid gameplay are sure to please fans of the series waiting to see what Square has in store for them. While Final Fantasy X doesn't offer much innovation, it also doesn't disappoint. And fortunately, with Final Fantasy XI already in development, the title is still a misnomer. --Andrew S. Bub Pros: - Gorgeous graphics
- Epic story line
- Voice acting
Cons: - Little innovation
- The voice acting is sometimes laughable
Amazon.com Product Description
Final Fantasy X is the first title in this landmark RPG series to be released for the PlayStation2. The main characters are Tidus, a star of blitzball (a hugely popular sport in the Final Fantasy universe), and Yuna, who has learned the art of summoning and controlling aeons, powerful spirits of yore. These two people of different backgrounds must work together as they journey through the world of Spira. This installment of Final Fantasy has a distinctly Asian influence, bringing a fresh feel to the characters, music, settings, and story.Features include voice-overs for the first time in the series (utilizing the Facial Motion System), high-polygon, motion-captured player characters designed by Tetsuya Nomura, and a camera that automatically adjusts its perspective to correspond with the movements of the characters--a feature now possible because the game is largely polygonal.

 decent rpg, but falls short July 13, 2008
I have yet to finish this game, but from my hours of gameplay thus far, I can already make some evaluations of the game.
First of all, I am a fan of the battle system and method of learning new abilities and improving stats. I like how you are able to switch out characters immediately during battles. I find the red arrow on the map helpful when trying to delay story progression in order to find items and explore the area.
Despite these enjoyable features, I do find many things I dislike with this installment of final fantasy. For one, I dislike the characters- immensely. Yuna is the cliche, innocent, kind, beautiful character- similar to Aeris or Rinoa, but much more annoying and unlikable. Her lines and mannerisms are aggravating (and I am sure I am not the only one disgusted by the benevolent caress she gives Valefor when summoning!) Tidus is also quite aggravating- but he at least has his moments of humorous stupidity. I also find Wakka's Jamaican-like accent a little unsuitable for his character. The most likable character is Lulu, though her cleavage is quite alarming.
Final Fantasy X seems focused on the plot and the massive amounts of cutscreens are done wonderfully, yet leave me longing for more gameplay time.
For all this, I have to say Final Fantasy X ranks as the lowest Final Fantasy game I have played thus far (though I am led to believe that FF X-2 is even worse!)
After games such as FFVII and FFIX, FFX remains a woefully inadequate successor of the FF title.
 One of the greatest games I've ever played. July 13, 2008
Final Fantasy X was released on the PS2 seven years ago and to this day it still doesn't disappoint me. In fact, this was my first Final Fantasy so its very special to me. This game influenced me to buy all the previous Fantasies and of course the ones after it up to FFXII.
Plot: This is probably the backbone of any Final Fantasy ever created. Every previous game before FFX has amazing stories and this installment definitely doesn't disappoint. You start the story as Tidus, a rising star in the fictional underwater sport of blitzball. From there you travel into several places, some vast and some small, but each place in this world has its own purpose. The character development in the story is also awesome and each character has its own use, although I must say that Rikku and Auron are my ultimate favorites :)
Graphics: Well any Final Fantasy veteran should know that every recent installment is graphically better than the previous one and FFX definitely delivers. Facial expressions on the characters are now installed (like lips moving) since the characters are now voiced! Can I get a hallelujah??? Now the voice-acting is kinda goofy at times but meh.
Music: Pshh...I feel like I dont even have to cover this part since Nobuo Uematsu is composing the music, but lets just leave it as awesome, okay?
Gameplay: Okay the new CTB-system of FFX is probably the weakest point of the game. Why?? I feel like it gives the game a slower feel than the ATB-system but it is more strategical. The sphere grid takes the place of the usual leveling system in usual RPG's and it is definitely the most innovative thing Square has ever come up with in their games. It's fresh and unique, and its probably one of the best things in the game. It is kinda complicated at times but when you get it, you get it.
Difficulty: If you play just the linear game, then I'd say its pretty easy. If you do the numerous sidequests in the game and the optional places (like the Omega Ruins) then you better start training hard. :)
Overall this is a great game to play. I really liked it and I recommend it 100%.
Third Best Final Fantasy June 25, 2008
Final Fantasy X is third on my final fantasy favourites list. To this day I will pick this game back up and play through to the end. Great game overall. The story is what makes this game one of the best. There are a few too many cut scenes, but the overall game is worth the intrusion. Trust me, at the end of the game you will be ready to sit back and watch the rest of the story unfold. One small problem is the hoops you have to jump through to get everyone's ultimate weapons. If I wasn't an avid gamer, I would have burned the game and stomped the ashes into the ground. Most of the sidequests were entertaining. I especially liked blitzball, although I know most people played it the bare minimum.
Overall a great game that will be remembered for a long time.
To much effort on character voices than on actual game play June 17, 2008
It's a great game but I miss that ability to revisit past location after your character has grown more powerful. Still had a great time. To much effort on character voices than on actual game play. Jody Bissoon
Final Fantasy 10 June 2, 2008
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).
