"Nice work Squaresoft"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Square Soft have kept the great reputation of their series Final Fantasy with Final Fantasy X. The graphics and game play are clean and beautiful, and the introduction of the Sphere Grid as a style of customizing your characters allows for great diversity within the game.

The main highlight of this game is the amazing cinematics, really showing the beauty of this distant land and its inhabitants. Another great point about the game is the freedom; For beginners using the Beginners Sphere grid allows you to get to terms with the style of the game. With the Advanced Grid you have very little limits as to where you go with each character, allowing advanced players to customize their characters in any fashion they like.

If you have been a great follower of the Final Fantasy Series, this is a must for your collection.

"Best PS2 game"
5 stars"

This is probably the best PS2 game (other then guitar hero, but thats different). It has an awesome story, heaps of stuff to do and heaps of side quests and replay value. Its a bit different then the older final fantasys, but I reckon it's a lot better. For $35 you get one of the best games ever and 130 hours of gameplay if you want to fully beat it and probably up to 200 hours because you'll want to do it again. So basically it's 20cents and hour to play this game! If you don't have it, get it now!

"The best in the series"

"An epic story"

Final Fantasy began in the eighties as a simple RPG and has evolved into a world famous series. Squaresoft produced this title as the first PS2 Final Fantasy title, and it is a real winner. The game's graphics are incredible – it makes the graphics in FF8 look like a child's drawing.

The beginning will simply blow you away. Tidus is a blitzball player, which is an underwater sport in a giant sphere of H2O. You sign some fan's balls, then all hell breaks loose. You meet a cool but mysterious man called Auron in a red cloak and fight some easy battles to introduce you to the new turn-based system of battle, then are warped into…

… The future? Well, the plot is a little far-fetched, but that's what you come to expect from Final Fantasy. As the game continues your enemies are revealed. The battle graphics are superb. There are not as many spells as we are used to but still more than enough. The storyline is immersive and battles are fun.

There is no card game, but enough mini games to keep you happy. Gameplay can be repetitive if you want to level up a lot, or win lots of blitzball games, but that's the only flaw. Seamless 3D environments and beautiful girls… What more could you ask for?

"A step in A direction"
4 stars"

I'm not quite sure how to rate this game. It is different than FFIX and VIII which has many good points but many down sides as well.

1. The game is now practically all 3D. IX was almost sprite orientated with the camera scrolling over a 2D plane. Now the camera moves around the characters making it seem like a movie. This makes it easier to get into the story which has the main theme – Death.

Good points: Game is more emotional. Graphics are amazing Bad points: Game is slower. Less replay value.

2. The game is very linear (straight forward). In previous games you would often have to trek over the world to find your destination. This time round, there is no world map. It is just one long path with no crossroads.

Good points: Game is quicker. Storyline easier to follow Bad points: RPG experience lost. It feels like your just watching rather than playing.

The gameplay is pretty similar to IX and VII except it's slower, no longer in real time. I liked this but it made the game so much slower.

If you've played Morrowind on Xbox and loved the endless world, you may not like this game. If you've enjoyed the previous games in the series, you still won't be disappointed.
