I've never played a Final Fantasy game but I'd like to give it a try. Would this game be a good place to start, or are there better ones? In other words, which would be the best introduction to the series, gameplay-wise? (I know there's no continuity between them, so I'm asking about the story.)
ok...can someone please give me 3 good reasons why I must play this game??? anyone??...Ive half the ppl say its amazing..and the other half say its garbage...so im kindof on the fence here
The game is exceptionally well written but yes sometimes the dialogue can be a bit exaggerated. This is understandable because when FFX came out, voice acting for all games in general were usually sub par and FFX was actually one of the better ones. By today's standards, the voice acting is a bit lacking but if you can get past this, you will experience one of the most memorable and enjoyable games ever. As for the goofing looking characters, I can't understand that. They look fine to me.
@scratchhh187 oh it is amazing, i assure you the ones who say its crap think FF7 is the best -.-. Reason 1 - You cannot hate any of the characters.. they are all amazing :D. Reason 2 - Has one of the best FF Bosses in the whole franchise ( IMO Anyway ). Reason 3 - Like KuRoTsUbAsA said .. it has fucking amazing music :)
you said horrible voice acting at a few parts but noone seems to find when yuna faces symour for the first time funny. when she says "I will fight you to!" i find it hilarious how she says it. ah well.
....I f-ing hate Seymour! In my opinion, Seymour was not a very good villain! He annoyed me, especially when you face him not once...not twice...BUT THREE F-ING TIMES!!! Each one more complicated than the last!....but that's just me. I mean Sin was a better bad guy and he didn't even do much (okay, he killed a lot of people but that's beside the point). Don't get me started on Tidus (...just don't). But again, this is my opinion.
i think this is a good game but i couldn't really relate because i've never lost anyone special... and i don't really care about human lives 'cause i'm nihilistic and misanthropic.
I love the story in this just for the reasonance it has with our society to do with religion. I also like the way they toy with the theories of death and the afterlife. All in all this is a great game, and anyone who disagrees has a right to their opinion. No need for the constant arguing.
the ffx story was GREAT! i couldn't exactly beat it but i still love it! IMAGINE! if it was remade again with an HD touch! I mean the story and everything would be the same but screenview would be amazing!
FFX is the best FF game ever invented. If people who say FFX sucks then you probaly couldnt beat the game and just quit and now rant about it. FFX FTW!
Actually I have something more meaningful to say. Don't tell me not to play an entire game series ever again just because you like one game in that series that I dislike. It's very immature and you have no right to do so. I don't even know who you are. To me your some just immature jerk on youtube that has nothing better to do than go around making people feel bad about themselves to make yourself feel better about yourself. I have no respect for you, and don't feel obligated to do as you say.
man this brings back so many memories. what a great game, especially for the platform at that time. damn. i wonder if final fantasy 13 can ever live up to this?
yea i use to love this game, back when i was a kid i had to use the cheat codes. i had to get far in the game so the story could continue, i did not care about the gameplay i just cared about the story. i beat the game about 30 times over and over again thats how much i loved the story. i doubt the new one could ever live up to this
no shit idiot thats why i said playstation network if u had a ps3 u would know what it is n they have it in there for 10 buks the whole game with all the cursing all the action everything the same
hahah u cannot in no way no how buy ff7 for 10 bucks haha .. u wont find a copy of that for under 60 bucks and im tlaking 60 bucks for a damaged crap lookin thing..look on ebay ff7 second hand goes for at least 100 bucks
Go buy a ps3 or go to a place with a ps3 hooked up to the internet, look up ffvii on the psn network (Aka the Playstation Store) for approx 10 bucks *with tax* read it and weep,
I have only played X, X-2 and Xii. X was a freaking masterpiece, X-2 could get a little ridiculous but it was great too, but the Xii was just a big vaste of money. I hated the battle system, the licence system and last but not least Vaan. He had NO personallity and the voice acting was garbage.
when did I call Tifa whore? besides i only hate Tifa because Tifa-lovers hate Aerith, my favorite character, and so i get revenge by dissing Tifa. And my name is for Crisis Core not FFVII, i never even played it. I was 2 years when it came out! god, i have to make a new account...

you sound like a real reviewer, you did a great job! I think it's kind of weird/ironic how in the beginning Sony said they didn't want any rpgs on their console, and then years later, the system became the rpg console lolz :) FFX was my first FF game (DoC was actually) but now I hate it after playing other FF games, I realized how flawed X was, and off-track. No moogles, no chocobos (you can't ride them), no airships (can't control them), no leveling up (what is an rpg without leveling up!!?).
i wouldn't. FF X was epic and one of the best Final Fantasy games of the entire series. X-2 however was a joke. They ditched nearly all the traditional FF elements and introduced nothing revolutionary. The lack of summons was hugely noticeable. The only upside was the eyecandy female characters.
I ove this game and is by far the best game to reach any platforms , if don't got it get it , if you got it play it again or keep playing it. Best story also in a game :P nice upload
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this game is pretty average, they took away the brilliant world map, you can no longer ride your boat or airship, it has embarrasing voice acting, the bad guy looks like a big shit. ff9 has actually aged better than this. 5/10
the only thing that sucked (in my oppinion) about final fantasy X is that I disliked bahamut. He wasen't like the other bahamuts from previous final fantasies (you can call me whatever, but i will not remove this comment)
how long is it? how much? does it have good replay value? are there side quests? are there multiple endings? can u replay levels? how many diff characters can u get? what weapons can u get? are the levels unique or are the same every time is there good customization? does changing your armour change your appearance or not? can u play after you have beaten it or is it over when the credits start? can u have multiple save slots or just one?
the game is pretty long and its really cheap now and LOTS of side quiest no multiple ending and LOTS of replay value, more than half a dozen character GOOD AMOUNT OF WEAPON its like going on a journey with the characters your appearance don't change U, lots of save slots......get it dude its only like 10 bucks since its old.
Yeah I would probably have liked this game a lot if it had stuck with the old text style narrative.
I couldnt stand the voice acting.

1) Great story filled with great characters with lots of surprising plot twists.
2) Fucking amazing music.
3) The battle system is the standard turn based FF battle system with a few upgrades, but strategy is greatly required in many boss battles.
