He is accompanied by Auron whom he recognizes as his mentor, but who is at the same time hiding a troubled past. I should say that a normal playthrough of the game can take on average 50 hours to complete, but you can easily get sidetracked with the many mini-games featured within the experience.įinal Fantasy X begins with Tidus, a star blitzball player who is a celebrity in his hometown of Zanarkand but who still struggles with the painful memories of his late father. Revisiting Wakka’s undying hope, Lulu’s tough love, and Rikku’s unmeasurable energy brought a sense of familiarity to the over 180 hours I spent the first time around all those years ago. Having played the game on the PlayStation 2 when it initially released, I am no stranger to Tidus’ story. The HD Remaster gave new life to the PS2 masterpiece, allowing a new generation to enjoy the game in all its HD glory, and besides a few minor gripes with some of the changes, it is undeniable how important Final Fantasy X is not only for the JRPGs that subsequently followed but also the Final Fantasy series as a whole. Originally deemed a departure from the more story-driven entries in the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy X pushed the limits of the system, introducing fully rendered 3D graphics and environments, more linear story-telling, and for the first time in the series, the characters spoke, making it a more cinematic experience than ever before. Time has been kind to Final Fantasy X, which released back in 2001 for the PlayStation 2.

A bloated package with improved graphics, revamped audio, and plenty of extras makes this the definitive Final Fantasy X’perience.

Price: $49.99 USD (Packaged together with Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster) HISTORY:įinal Fantasy X is a near-identical representation of the PlayStation 4 HD Remaster while Tidus’ classic journey to Zanarkand still resonates masterfully after 18 years.
