I never had the opportunity to play Final Fantasy X when it came out for Playstation 2. I got the game and a day later my PS2 died. So when I saw that Final Fantasy X came out remastered for the Playstation 3, I became very excited and purchased it right away. As it turns out, it was the biggest waste of $37 that I spent this year.
It is important to begin with the positives about this game. The graphics and music are both excellent. The character Auron is fascinating and mysterious. This concludes the positive aspects about Final Fantasy X.
1) The battle system, known as the Sphere Grid, is terrible. Gone are any EXP points from battle. You plot your character stat upgrades by receiving AP instead. It sounds good until you find yourself limited by the design of the grid. For example, many times you'll want to learn a very useful spell but it will be blocked by a “level sphere”. And since the 3's and 4's are harder to get in the game, you eventually keep moving your character along the sphere to gain other abilities, taking them further and further from that spell you wanted...So go back you say. Not so easy as that requires AP, too! And once you get to the higher levels where it takes 40,000+ AP to gain one movement on the grid, that is a LOT of backtracking.
2) The voice acting sucks beyond belief. Square should have kept the Japanese voices and had the English audience read subtitles. The English voices are whiney, stupid, and sound like hormonal high school kids (especially Tidus and Yuna). The voices are so stupid, and the characters babble about so much nonsense, that my roommates overhearing me play the game, asked me on several occasions: “what in the world are you playing?”. This is the kind of game you play in secret, because being associated as one to play along with such a terrible storyline and voice acting reveals the idiocy of the player themselves.
3) Blitzball? Give me a break. This mini game is such BS. Go to hell Wakka and Tidus. Go play FIFA.
4) No overworld map to explore? F* you Square.
5) “Sin”, Jecht, and Seymour are all losers.
6) The storyline is half-baked, extremely linear, pulled from several real world mythologies, fried, and pooped out for the player to enjoy. Yum.
7) I took the game out of the PS3 and threw it into the trash. Finally, Tidus and Yuna can now STFU.
