If you've been waiting for the definitive role-playing game for the PlayStation 2, here it is.
Don't wait now, go play it
Square's Final Fantasy series is one of the longest running, most critically acclaimed lines of games ever. That means each new installment in the series needs to be exceedingly good--since the company has outdone itself on so many occasions, millions of fans expect each new Final Fantasy to be even better than all its predecessors. Whether they truly end up better is the subject of never-ending debate among Final Fantasy fans, but one thing is certain: Each new Final Fantasy game is a momentous occasion.
Final Fantasy X the visual style is most closely resembles that of Final Fantasy VIII for the PlayStation one, which was the first game in the series to give its characters a more life like appearance instead of a cartoon like image. The hero of Final Fantasy X is Tidus/ you could change the name, a teenager all decked out in decidedly garish clothes and feathered hair look. Unlike many Final Fantasy protagonists, Tidus apparently isn't a shy, stoic youth, but rather an outgoing, cheerful person. You might not take a liking to him right off the bat--he's a jock and can be a bit arrogant--but in time, you'll find him to be suitably endearing and to have the same kind of surprising depth that's characterized past Final Fantasy heroes. Tidus traveled through spira with his all friends to find his home Zanarkand. When Aron show up, his story was to be change forever.
The sphere grid isn't the only way to build up your characters. You'll eventually gain the ability to add special properties to your weapons and armor, though most equipment you'll find will have particular properties already ascribed isn’t that fun. For instance, one weapon might let you automatically counterattack the foe each time you're hit. Another stands a chance of inflicting a deadly poison on the enemy or causing it to fall asleep. Certain types of armor can make you immune to debilitating effects such as blindness, petrifaction, or confusion. Others can make you resistant to elemental effects such as fire and ice. There's an immense amount of variety here, though most of these properties will be familiar to those who have played previous Final Fantasy games. Beyond their special properties, weapons and armor unfortunately have little purpose in Final Fantasy X, as your characters' equipment doesn't really affect their attack and defense ratings as you might expect. Still, there's a lot of strategy to be found in using different equipment--you can even switch weapons or armor in the middle of battle if you have to.
Play and enjoy the game and you will find the most incredible story ever.
