in the past


FF X:
I would say this is the best story-telled game.
The characters are elaborated and accompany the story, the music is very good, it has the most elaborate secondary minigame (blitzball) and its story is very deep and emotional.
It has many HARD side content too.

FF X-2:
The gameplay has improved and the "jobs" are back, but what about the story.
It works as a direct sequel to final fantasy X but it's pretty bad.
Yuna becomes an idol and sets out to find Tidus with her friend Rikku and... Paine?
Anyway, the story is really bad and it doesn't get better with time, but the gameplay and the affection for the characters half saves it.

lo que me gusta a mi un peregrinaje

0/10 too much water





Has a slow start but ramps up really fast. The world they live in is fucked up but so beautiful at the same time. Twist's and turns that you don't really see coming. Characters are very fleshed out and of course the music is beautiful and classic.

+1000000 points because Yojimbo is cool as fuck in this game

(as for X-2 I never completed it all the way through .....)

For Final Fantasy X, I had a good time with it. The gameplay was a pretty cool throwback to how much of the JRPG genre used to look. I liked the characters and the sphere grid was a pretty interesting mechanic. The story was good too.

For Final Fantasy X-2, I think it's intersting. I liked how it literally takes place at the same time and has the same characters. I also liked how it included only women as the main characters, a change for the franchise. Overall, other than that, it wasn't outstanding.


It was nice to experience it again in HD, although the PS3 version didn't look that much better^^ But now that there's also a PC version, I'll play it again when the time comes, I'm in the mood again.

Final Fantasy X - 4/5 (Feb 10, 2024 - March 2, 2024)
- beautiful ost
- amazing story
- if only cutscene and intro can be skip after failing a battle

O final fantasy x tem a minha historia favorita de todos os ff's atrás dos final fantasy 6.
Só não quis jogar o x-2 para não estragar a minha experiencia

Complete change from when I originally played these on release. Back then, I am pretty sure I though X was fine and X-2 pretty great. This time around I really enjoyed X and the story hit way harder, guess that's just a life thing, whereas X-2 I found it hard to stick with. Just seemed disjointed. X though, liked the battle system and loved most of the story. And as a package it certainly isn't lacking in gameplay hours. I just watched the cutscenes from Final Mission, Rogue games not for me really, and the story itself seems, fine I guess.

- THIS REVIEW IS JUST FOR FFX I WILL LOG FFX-2 SEPARATELY
- used magus sisters to wipe jecht idgaf!!
- i worked for rikku and yuna's celestial weapons (also tried for tidus and got 0:0.1 for the race like dpmo please) but i was just over it
- overall ok like voice acting was janky but it was 2001 so what could they really have done. my only other gripe is the long dialogue that couldn't be skipped
- but this is my second favourite ff mainline believe it or not i think it's just because it was newer in relation to titles i played that released before (just vii)
- but i'll be playing x-2, viii and xii in that order while juggling p3r and rebirth. curious to see if this will move down my ranking

beautiful game, made me cry so much

X: Precisa muito de um remake, é bem na cara o quanto esse FF foi limitado pela época. Apesar de tudo, ainda é um dos meus favoritos, com uma história linda e com uma das melhores OSTs de tudo que já joguei (principalmente To Zanarkand).

X-2: Não tem motivo para existir.

This review contains spoilers

Bem, essa aqui é uma coletânea, então vou fazer as reviews à medida que for finalizando cada pedaço.

FINAL FANTASY X: Meu quarto Final Fantasy da vida (eu até hoje só tinha jogado a trilogia da Lightning) e certamente um dos grandes jogos da minha vida. A história é um pouquinho confusa? Sim, mas se você tiver paciência você vai aos poucos entendendo (quase) tudo.

Os protagonistas são TODOS muito legais de um jeito ou de outro, e tem suas próprias backstories e objetivos próprios. Detalho eles nos próximos parágrafos.

Tidus é um típico protagonista impulsivo e meio boboca de praticamente qualquer anime shounen, mas a tragédia pessoal dele o torna muito interessante. O mesmo vale pra a Yuna, que é uma mocinha disposta tudo pelo bem maior, coisa que a gente já viu várias vezes, mas acompanhar a jornada da coitada e vendo ela ter medo e dúvidas dá todo um tempero pra essa aventura. Juntos, esses dois vão nos trazendo uma mistura de otimismo/coragem com melancolia que mexe demais com os sentimentos. Eu nunca fui muito de chorar mas a cena do lago de deu um nó na garganta e o final do jogo me fez chorar LEGAL.

Wakka, Lulu e Kimahri são bem carismáticos e suas backstories transitam por temas profundos como luto, fé, intolerância e preconceito; o que os torna muito humanos e cativantes. Sim, usei o termo humano para o homem leão azul.

Sir Auron merece um parágrafo só pra ele por que de cara eu achei o personagem um saco. O espadachim misterioso que fala pouco e de maneira críptica é um conceito que eu acho meio chato e manjado, mas à longo prazo funciona por que a backstory dele é muito boa. Fora que ele faz uma ponte boa pra o Jecht, que poderia ser um personagem um pouco melhor, mas foi bem escrito o suficiente para que eu conseguisse sentir as daddy issues do Tidus.

Os vilões são um ponto fraco por que seguiram um esteriótipo que reza a lenda é muito presente em RPG japonês que é: primeiro encontre líderes corruptos com backstories tristes e por fim enfrente DEUS. Ao contrário do Auron, não achei que eles brilharam o suficiente pra ser um caso de "conceito básico perfeitamente aplicado que torna o personagem acima da média". Pra mim foi bem na média.

Agora sobre jogabilidade, eu gostei dos combates, dos poderes e golpes especiais. Consegui passar horas grindando e matando monstros quase iguais ouvindo a mesma música e sem enjoar. O único defeito pra mim aqui são as cutscenes cortando completamente o flow do jogo em alguns momentos. Você entra num mapa e pega uma cutscene, assim que ela termina tu anda dois passos e já tem outra. Se era pra fazer colado assim poderia ser uma cena só não? Me incomodou um pouco, especialmente no começo.

No quesito beleza, essa versão remasterizada BRILHA MUITO. Eu diria que tirando alguns npcs meio quadrados demais, o jogo se passaria fácil por um jogo feito pra PS3 mesmo. Talvez até com eles, por que lembro que o FF13 tinha uns npc quadrado também.

Um jogo fantástico que valeu cada uma das minhas mais de 60h nele. Se não fossem alguns defeitos bem pontuais ele seria perfeito, mas apesar desses defeitos ele ainda é grandioso!

FINAL FANTASY X-2: (Ainda vou iniciar)

holy FUCK its the MIDDEST of MIDS. BIGGEST waste of 30 HOURS of my LIFE. NEVER playing this shit AGAIN

i lost my cartridge before the final boss but good game

Mesma coisa dos anteriores, eu não curto tanto final fantasy mas quis testar pra ver qual era! Gráfico lindo e trilha sonora tbm, um game bem melhor que os anteriores e aqui ele já tá com uma jogabilidade menos bugada e travada na minha opinião, uma coletânea de respeito

Provato più per dovere. Non il mio genere.

Final Fantasy X Only

The story is masterpiece, gameplay is kinda funny and most of bosses are gimmicky.
It aint a perfect score due to some lacks in QoL and to be honest it has so much cutscenes and talking than the "gaming" part.
X-2? whats that?

For Final Fantasy X Only

It happens to be one of my all time favorite games to come out. Mostly because of two things; The characters and the gameplay. The characters also branches out to the plot as well, it is one of the best told stories to be told in an RPG game, let alone any game. But you have a rounded out group that are all memorable and likable in one way or another.
The gameplay does away with the battle system from the SNES and PSX era, with a more tradition turn based system. The difference is that you can see who goes next in the next few turns and it can change depending on what attack or skill that you use. Also you can change your party members on the fly in the middle of the fight, making for more versatile.
They also did away with the normal level-up system with a crazy grid! Once you level up you can make around on this huge board and choose what stat boosters and skill you can to unlock for each character, and with careful planning, you can make an OP Tidus or Yuna by the time you are ready to take on some of the more challenging bosses.
Speaking of bosses, this game has some hard or nails fights once you get into the latter half of the game, they really test out your knowledge of what you are able to do in the game in a satisfying and frustrating way. It may be frustrating because on the one major hiccup this game has, unskippable cutscenes. It can make or break you're playthrough if yo might be stuck on a certain fight.
The other hit or miss portion of the game are the side quests. Some of them are fun to do as you are nicely rewarded with awesome end game weapons that can obliterate the baddest of the bad, but some of these quest can potentially take you weeks just to get that one McGuffin and get that one weapon, do them at your own risk!
Regardless of the blemishes this game may have, it is still one of the best of the best that needs everybody attention and needs to be appreciated!

I know people like complaining about this game's level design being too linear but I really dont see the problem. Imagine going down the best hallway in the world. Doesn't that sound awesome? Yeah this game is awesome

Sympathique, même si il y a un moment en particulier qui pousse à farmer comme un gros porc mais l'histoire vaut le coup d'aller jusqu'au bout

Par contre je chie sur X-2, nul nul, nul

this game has exceptional themes and story but some of the boss fights are actually the worst fights in history, a remaster coming out without QoL features like skipping 20 minute long cutscenes after you wipe to a boss or FMV cutscenes not being green is ridiculous
also braskas final aeon might be the worst fight in the series which is so unfortunate because the story is actually good

not finished*
Tidus best character

Final Fantasy X was my first old Final Fantasy game. At first, I was slightly concerned because it's an old game, but after the first few hours, things got much better.
Anyway, the story is actually amazing; it's surprisingly well written and very emotional, arguably one of the best stories I've seen in a JRPG.
The gameplay holds up perfectly well; it honestly plays like a modern turn based game, still really fun and as deep as it needs to be.
The main characters are very good and they got even better in the process, even the characters I wasn't sure I would like.
The Sphere Grid is very interesting and the RPG elements are completely serviceable.
The music is awesome, the set-pieces are very nice and the CGI cutscenes are quite impressive even to this day.
Unfortunately though, the level design is extremely linear, and some minor elements in the game are outdated, like the puzzles, annoying difficulty spikes towards the end and voice acting.

Pros:
+ Fantastic storyline
+ Great characters
+ Enjoyable gameplay
+ Sphere Grid
+ Beautiful music

Cons:
- Very linear structure
- Outdated minor elements
- Difficulty spikes

Narrative: 9/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Content: 8/10
Characters: 8/10
Music: 9/10
Graphics/Audio: ?/10

Final Rating: 9/10
- Amazing -
Even after all these years, Final Fantasy X is still an impressive JRPG, as well as one of the most engaging, fun and technologically advanced games in the entire series. Some elements haven't aged very well, sure, but the journey as a whole is so beautiful, it makes the experience worthwhile.

Do I recommend it?:
Yes but mostly to those who enjoy turn based combat and JRPGs.
Must-play for Final Fantasy fans though.

Amazing game and an amazing remaster!


liked playing gotta pick it back up...

It was really nice to have a re-release of this game I could play on my Vita, handheld gaming was a bit of a novelty for me back then. It was also a great excuse to replay the games and hunt the achievements (although still haven't finished getting them for X-2...)

The changes to the styling of the in-game models that are commonly criticized, I tend to agree with. They did not ruin the experience for me, but it is sad to think about what was lost.

I feel as though there was opportunity to implement quality of life features to this version that would have improved upon the original, such as being able to skip cutscenes in FFX for example, or highlight multiple nodes on the sphere grid. (Making the chocobo race controls less aggravating might have been asking for too much...)

This was also the first official release of the international version of X-2, which included a number of changes. While I enjoyed the new dresspheres, the creature creator felt unnecessary I tend to avoid it entirely when playing.

X: If you asked 15 years ago, I might have said this was my favorite game at the time. I must have blocked out the absurd amount of grinding if you want everything.

It's a hit of nostalgia playing through this for the second time after so long. I still love the music, the world building is fantastic, and enjoy the fact that there isn't levels. You have a large grid with your stats and skills that everyone can learn. You can out level bosses and hilariously one or two shot them with some grinding. The aeons and summoner aspect was well done in the story.

However, the dialogue isn't the best. There's awkward moments and odd facial expressions amplified by the weird camera angles.While I'm happy Final Fantasy didn't create another moody MC like Squall and Cloud, Tidus seems too cheerful or unfazed at times. (Especially considering what is happening.) The two big twists are revealed about 3/4ths into the story. They are strange choices...almost for cheap shock value.

If you want everything done, (mini games, ultimate weapons, all side bosses, grid completion) prepare for HOURS and HOURS for grinding. I did not want to grind one enemy 100+ battles for one item.

The optional bosses will act cheesy and can one shot you at max. It's insane how the difficulty goes up. But I was not going to kill the same enemy for hours to max items.
