It doesn’t take long for the story itself to receive a jolt of adrenaline as the mysterious being regarded as ‘Sin’ attacks Zanarkand, destroying it in its entirety and sending both Tidus and Auron 1,000 years into the future. 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.
