A 2001 Japanese role-playing game by Square for the PlayStation 2 following the young warrior Tidus on a pilgrimage to save the world of Spira.
Origin
The first Final Fantasy on the PlayStation 2 and the first with voice acting, Final Fantasy X moved away from random world-map encounters in favor of fixed map paths. Its setting, Spira, mixes Polynesian, Japanese, and post-industrial influences.
Gameplay
The Conditional Turn-Based Battle system shows the upcoming order of actions on screen, allowing tactical planning. The Sphere Grid replaces traditional level-ups, letting players steer character growth.
Legacy
Final Fantasy X received broad acclaim and was the series’ best-selling entry up to that point. A high-definition remaster bundled with its sequel X-2 keeps the game in active circulation.
