Final Fantasy X would mark the franchises first foray onto the PlayStation 2 and the leaps made from the previous entries is immediately present. Breathtaking FMVs that still hold up today serve as one of the main cinematic storytelling elements. The in-game cutscenes are equally as high of quality, though at some times jarring when blended with the FMVs. The story is slow to start, but once it gets going it is hard to put it down. This is a somber story that reflects largely on the meaning of death, free choice versus fulfilling our perceived duty, and the relationships we share with our family, our friends, and ourselves.
