THE GOOD:Sphere grid is useful for upgrading your characters stats and is one of the best things in my opinion for
Final Fantasy X.
The game features one of the best mini games I have ever played... Blitz Ball!
Fighting multiple enemies at once can sure keep you strategically thinking for a while.
THE BAD:
Cutscenes usually end up being way to long and if you die and don't want to watch them again you will have to sit through it all over again.
If your three characters that are out on the field die you fail the game even if you still have others available for use.
SUMMARY:
The story is one of the best I've seen in many games and although it's quite hard to follow at the start you will understand it after some time of play.
Final Fantasy X starts of with Tidus, the main character, telling a story and it ends up taking you to his hometown of Zanarkand. Tidus is about to head off to a game of Blitz Ball. During the game mysterious attacks happen throughout the city and Tidus ends up meeting Auron, an old friend, to fend off the monsters.
That's where your first battle comes in. The battles are turn based and I don't like those types very much. Reason being is that they sometimes end up being slow.
Tidus is then teleported to a different land known as Spira, which is where you will continue the rest of your quest on the game. Tidus is determined to return to Zanarkand and be reunited with his family.
Blitz Ball, one of the greatest mini games ever in my opinion. The gameplay of one of the games is very easy to do. I'd say you learn the controls for it in about 15-25 minutes which is a short time considering how great a game it is. The game is similar to soccer but you can use your hands to handle the ball around. It is kind of hard to dribble a ball with your feet underwater. This is one of the most addicting mini games I have ever played. I'm at about 40 hours of gameplay and probably about half of it just Bltiz Ball.
Sphere Grid option allows you to upgrade your characters and it will allow you to increase certain things like the HP or MP to be greater. It's on of the best things for the game because even if you don't want to upgrade your character for some reason you don't have to, it's all choice.
Graphics for a 2002 game are really good. No, not just good excellent. Even the normal scenes are crisp and they look really good. But what is really astounding is that for certain special occasions the graphics are increased.
Summonings return in this game and I think a few previously seen are also included into the game. Each one has it's own special traits that are useful for different situations. I think it's great that there are so many so you can really think out your strategies. Though most of the time they make battle to easy so they make your game time somewhat shorter.
The thing that I didn't like at all from this game is that the cutscenes usually ended up being to long. I recall a time that there was a five minute cutscenes and immediately afterwards is a hard battle. Unfortunately I died and had to watch it over again various time until I could beat the battle simply because I couldn't skip the scene.
If you exclude my previous statement this a perfect game. It's something you should play if you like any Final Fantasy games, RPG games, or are just looking for something to pass the time as this game probably has about 80 hours easy if you try to do everything.
