Final Fantasy X is an emotionally gripping story about the innocence of love and unavoidable sacrifices accompanied by a touching score of music paired with lovely characters and a snappy turn-based combat system.

As someone who experienced love many times, I can tell that the innocent love story is absolutely convincing. From time to time it is cringeworthy, but as cringeworthy as some moments are, they feel embarrassingly real. Despite having a convincing love story, this game never loses focus on the actual plot and its tragic and consequential story comes to an end.

Completing this game was hell, but one of my greatest gaming accomplishments. I still remember how I finally dodged 200 lightning bolts and got a 0 in the Chocobo race — frustrating, yet absolutely satisfying.

Final Fantasy X is my favorite entry in this series and one of my favorite games of all time. It is perfect as it is.
