About

Final Fantasy X is the tenth main installment in the FF series and the first title released on sixth-generation consoles. It was also the first game to feature fully three-dimensional areas rather than including pre-rendered backdrops, and the first to include voice acting. Final Fantasy X tells the story of a star blitzball player, Tidus, who journeys with a young and beautiful summoner named Yuna on her quest to save the world of Spira from an endless cycle of destruction wrought by the colossal menace Sin.

What players say

Remembered as one of the most emotional and tear-jerking JRPGs, with a strong story and beloved score; its linearity feels like a guided journey rather than a flaw, though the early English voice acting is mocked as awkward and rushed.
