Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFinal Fantasy X is the first game in the franchise to feature full voice acting. However, as in its predecessors, the player is allowed to change the main character's name at the start of the game. For this reason, Tidus is never referred to by name by any of the other characters. In the sequel he is simply referred to as "him," by characters when referring to Tidus.
- GoofsAfter visiting Macalania Temple, the group are knocked down below the lake ice by the Wendigo. While they are under, they are quite close to the temple yet they fell several miles away from it. They couldn't have had time to move as Tidus regains consciousness for the first time in that location.
- Quotes
Auron: [as Lady Yunalesca prepares to battle them] Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
Kimahri: Yuna needs Kimahri. Kimahri protect Yuna.
Rikku: Well, I'm fighting!
Wakka: I can't believe we're gonna fight Lady Yunalesca! Gimme a break!
Lulu: You can always run.
Wakka: Hah! I'd never forgive myself-no way! Not if I ran away now. Even in death, ya!
Lulu: Hm. My thoughts exactly.
Tidus: Yuna! This is our story! Now let's see this thing through together.
- Crazy creditsAfter the end credits, a short clip is shown of Tidus waking up underwater and swimming up towards the surface.
- Alternate versionsAn International version of the game is available in Japan, with English voice acting subtitled in Japanese, and an alternate Sphere Grid. (This is standard for Final Fantasy games since Final Fantasy VII.) The international version was also released in the Euorpean and Australian market albeit with English subtitles instead of Japanese. The game was originally planned to make use of the hard drive and broadband adapter accessories for the Playstation 2, but these features were scrapped due to delays in the production of those peripherals.

Final Fantasy X brings the game series into a lot of new territory. It being the first FF game for the Playstation 2 console, the graphics are even more incredible than those in any game before it. It's also the first game in the series to use spoken dialogue. Each of the main characters has a distinctive voice. While the acting isn't top notch, it's easy to listen to most of the time and the voices fit the characters well. For a first attempt, Square did a fantastic job.
Changes to the way the game works came as well. Rather than a normal leveling system, in which characters become stronger in every category by gaining X amount of experience points, the stats of each character are improved through use of the new Sphere Grid system. Characters earn points to move around the grid and use spheres to activate points, allowing them to boost individual statistics, such as maximum hit points or magic defense, as well as learn new spells and abilities.
The player also has the option to switch characters in and out of battle at will. A welcome addition, now every character can get in on a fight and gain points to use on the Sphere Grid.
Last but not least, the storyline of Final Fantasy X is wonderful. The characters have definite personality, and the protagonist, Tidus, is a great character. Unlike past Final Fantasy heroes like Squall and Cloud, Tidus isn't a brooding, stoic person lacking in the emotional department. He's outgoing, adventurous, humorous and has a full range of emotions, making him feel more like the average guy rather than yet another tragic hero.
In short, Final Fantasy X is an excellent game and shouldn't be missed. Even if you've never played a role playing game before, it's easy to pick up and learn. Years from now, fans of the series will have many fond memories of this game.
