PlayStation 3 User Reviews

The games narrative and story play out wonderfully. With great storytelling and an immersive score by Nobuo Uematsu the player is led into the world of Spira. I would recommend this game to everyone who is searching for a single player experience.

Très bon portage HD d’un jeu excellentissime (pour FFX). X-2 le portage est excellent aussi mais le jeu en lui même toujours aussi moyen malgré les ajouts.

Best game ever made. Hands down. Story = masterpiece. Everything else = perfection.

Is FFX worse than the FFXI+ era of the series? No. But man is this game terrible when compared to the previous titles. One of the most insufferable protagonists ever and the game's artstyle is really ugly. I thought I would get used to it but I never did. Much of the architecture doesn't make sense and the fashion is horrendous. The whole game is essentially just walking down a hallway until the very end of the game opens up and even then it's still fairly small. Blitzball is one of the worst minigames ever. The story is a mess, the cloister of trials ****, and the battle system is good on paper but ends up being slow, resulting in even trash mobs taking longer to kill than they should. If you haven't played the previous titles before this one I recommend you do so. If you have and still like this game then you should stop pretending to like this hallway simulator.

Et bien plutôt bon mais je préfère la version PS2 le portage est vraiment mid les persos font peur mais sinon je me suis bien amusé avec Tidus et Yuna !!

Since FFX's original release on the PS2, I have loved this game. This was the first Final Fantasy for me to finish the story. The music is fantastic and I (off the top of my head) cannot think of a track I don't enjoy. I am a big fan of the way this Final Fantasy game takes turn-based combat: attacks more or less have a cool down that may delay a character's turn, but the interface helps the player easily keep track of turns adding a level of strategery. The story is a beautiful story about love, determination to prove one's self, and camaraderie. Voice acting is great, but Titus has...moments. If the game allowed in back on PS2, it would have been nice to have an explorable world map. I'd argue that because this game is a quest from point A to point B (like taking the Ring to Mordor) that it works. Everyone feels spread out but once their story comes to a head it feels complete. I cannot say that the puzzles are perfect though. As soon as I entered a temple and had to face a new trial, I would become overwhelmed with dread. However, one Aeon fight later, my patience is rewarded and I can go back to turn-based goodness. FFX-2 is a definite change of pace. I don't mind the Charlie's Angels vibe. I feel like this game tries to differentiate itself from its predecessor, but I can see how that could be a turn off for people expecting a similar sequel. It would have been nice to get a more "serious" sequel, but Yuna genuinely grew into a new woman after the events of FFX. Still turn-based, but heavily focused on class-types. The costume changes are fun, and thank the Lord above that this clothing/class change was before DLC ever became a thing. The story doesn't resonate with me as well as FFX did, but FFX-2 has a good story.

Just reviewing X and not X-2. FFX does a really good job overall. It's not the most challenging game, but its design philosophy is to guide the player along and only introduce one mechanic at a time without making the game feel like a tutorial.

Final Fantasy X es una obra maestra inolvidable. Su historia me emocionó como pocos juegos lo han logrado, con personajes profundos como Tidus y Yuna que aún resuenan conmigo. El sistema de combate por turnos es ágil y estratégico, y el tablero de esferas permite una evolución única. La banda sonora, especialmente temas como “To Zanarkand”, es sencillamente magistral. Visualmente sigue siendo hermoso, incluso años después. Es un juego que marcó mi vida y siempre ocupará un lugar especial en mi memoria. Un clásico que todo amante del RPG debe jugar.

Actual peak story. The characters are all unique and have their own stories we follow. The sphere grid is immense with endless options for each character, many builds are possible for each character. The endgame has a ton of activities and bosses.

This game is beyond boring. The protagonist is annoying as heck and the story is as bland as unseasoned chicken. I could only force myself to make it to the blitz ball tutorial and I checked out. Total let down.

A história mais marcante do mundo dos games. Sem duvida lembrarei disto para toda minha vida. Eventualmente no decorrer da jogatina você sentirá felicidade genuína, tristeza, conforto. O final mais emocionante de todos, mais tocante. É lindíssimo, belíssimo. A trilha sonora 10/10. História 11/10. Entretanto o jogo tem seus lados ruins. Demora muito para achar um local de save, existem momentos que você fica 2 horas jogando sem salvar. É muito fácil morrer neste jogo. Mecânicas complexas de mais, exige grinding demais, punitivo demais, sensação de progressão é ruim. Combates repetitivos. Lutas com chefes são geralmente injustas. Tem 15 minutos de cutscene, se você morrer na luta com o chefe o que geralmente acontece muito, você terá de ver novamente as cutscene já que não há como pula-las. Não tem como zerar este jogo sem estudar. Você precisa ter boa noção de matématica. Você precisa saber o que fazem TODAS as habilidades, especiais, magias negras e brancas. Precisa saber buildar, precisa de armas e escudos fortes para isso é nescessário muito muito explorar o mundo. Os puzzles são desafiadores, leva-se muito tempo para resolver apenas um! Nivel de dedicação para zerar este jogo é enorme. Clts fiquem longem!!! Com certeza é o jogo mais dificil que já joguei. Bastante frustante e estressante. Levando em conta todas essas coisas ruins o jogo vale a pena! Vale a pena porque a história é pura arte, não se acha tal coisa em outro lugar. Jogo estará para sempre em meu coração.

This JRPG to me is the pinnacle of how to make a game. Like this was an extraordinary experience. From the graphics, acting, soundtrack, gameplay, story, mechanics, this felt extremely well produced. It’s really hard to find serious issues in this. This is simply amazing & quite possibly the best game I’ve ever played. Like if you haven’t played this yet then what you waiting for?! Everything in this is near perfect & deserves my rare 10/10.

I LOVE SO MANY THINGS ABOUT THIS GAME it truly brings back memories of one of the best final fantasy games of the past it improves there where it needs to be improved but leaves the core untouched

One of my personal favorite Final Fantasy's and is the quintennial starting point for any newcomer to the franchise.

**Positive review of Final Fantasy X:**- The game features a captivating story with well-developed characters that draw players into its world.- The graphics, especially for its time, are stunning and enhance the immersive experience.- The gameplay mechanics are deep and engaging, offering a variety of strategic options for battles.- The music and sound design are top-notch, adding emotional depth to key moments in the game.- Final Fantasy X's world-building is rich and detailed, creating a vibrant and memorable setting for the adventure. This is definitely my favourite JRPG of all time️️️

The game is linear which I didn’t mind at all, linearity somehow works for heavy story games. The world does opens up a tiny bit close to the end of the game but I’m so used to just going forward in the game I didn’t really explored/revisit any city after it opens up. It does gets grindy as you progress and some of the battles are actually hard. Overall, I think the game has good pacing, amazing story writing and incredible soundtracks (except that *annoying* one in that particular dungeon), good cast of characters and the colourful world of Spira is beautiful.

This is a pathetic game. Casting aside the ridiculous side game under the water. If you're at the pub and there's some extremely annoying ****, you move away and if you're lucky, someone will spark them and they'll **** off home when they wake up with a bloody nose. Well Square Enix take that annoying little **** and put him at the centre of most of their games. In this case they picked the most annoying little turd of them all as the lead character. If it's someone I definitely couldn't be arsed with in the real world, I certainly don't want to pay money to have the scrotey little **** on my screen. Who the **** designs these **** characters? I'm just about done with Square and their **** casts. Sick of wasting my money. Everytime I see these huge score reviews I think, oh I'll give them another try and everytime it's the same ****. Some annoying little **** that makes me want to cave the screen in.

Square Enix have truly outdone themselves to remaster a game as good as Final Fantasy X worse than the original.

Most overrated FF game in history of gaming, I had to be honest and also give it what I think it deserves, I gave 7,9, 12 The Zodiac Age, 7 Rebirth, 7 Remake all 10/10 and praised it, But this game is the most misleading overrated turn based RPG in history, it is linear, boring, repetitive, the world is ugly and the remaster doesn't do the game no justice. 1/10 period.

Shadow444 must be **** (previous review). This is a beyond a doubt, the greatest FF game ever created, closely followed by 7

This is the worst final fantasy game ever. FF6,7,8,9,12,13,15 all have better soundtracks, graphics, story and combat. There is nothing memorable in this game, aside from a few songs in the soundtrack. The characters are annoying and uninteresting. If you want the most overated game in history, this is it.

It was as generic as it can come for JRPG. Nothing stood up, nothing came to my eyes that I said "Wow, that's interesting". It was obvious in every point of the corner and it made me grind just to fight a boss, before the final two bosses... In which you can never lose because you have eternal free auto-res. This was not a game that will stay on my head for more than one or two months, if less...

Final Fantasy X is an outstanding masterpiece. I can't stop thinking about it since I've played it, its music, art and story will always stay with me. In terms of gameplay, I think it is the most interesting of all the Final Fantasy games released so far, because it offers turn-based combat where you have more time to think and plan strategies. The characters are absolutely charming, each one has their own story, they are full of charisma. What fascinated me most about the story was that it was told by the protagonist himself. This character, Tidus, uses this type of narration (in the first person) to reflect his feelings, emotions and thoughts in every situation, which enriches the development of the plot. In conclusion, this video game surpasses excellence and is my favourite game of all time.

worth it and glad to play this game again. so much memories and nostalgia within this tenth game in the series.

Una lástima no conseguir los 60fps en dos juegos que se podría haber hecho perfectamente aunque no lo necesitaran.

Final Fantasy X war damals der erste Ableger des immens erfolgreichen JRPG Franchises für die PS2. Und was war das für ein Fest! Die dramatische, cineastische Inszenierung, die erwachsenen Charaktere und die fantastischen "In Game" Cut Scenes, die besser aussahen als alle "Renderfilmchen" der PSOne Ära - was ein Quantensprung! Final Fantasy X war bei Veröffentlichung eine Offenbarung. Doch auch heute weiß das erste Next Gen Final Fantasy immer noch zu faszinieren. Sicherlich, an cineastische Inszenierungen haben wir uns mittlerweile gewöhnt. Erwachsene Spiele sind heute eher die Regel als die Ausnahme, und "Rendersequenzen" sind für viele schon gar kein Begriff mehr. Was von FFX heute also bleibt, ist die überaus bewegende Geschichte die es erzählt. Wie auch das fantastische Setting, dass Square mit der verträumt wirkenden Welt von Spira entworfen hat. Die Reise, die wir als Wächter der Media Yuna antreten, auf der uns immer weiter die Geheimnisse der spirituellen Welt von Spira enträtselt werden, hat bis heute kaum von ihrem Zauber verloren. "Sin", als übermächtiges Wesen, wegen dem wir nicht nur in dieser Welt gestrandet sind, sondern das uns hier auch als unbezwingbarer Gegner gegenübertritt, überschattet die teils herzzerreißende Geschichte um die Protagonisten Tidus und Yuna, wie ein nicht fassbarer Fluch. Denn beide Hauptcharaktere scheinen auf tragische Weise untrennbar mit diesem Schicksalswesen "Sin" verbunden zu sein. Das Spiel mit der Metapher "Sin" kommt natürlich nicht von ungefähr. Die Stärke der Geschichte von Final Fantasy X ist sicherlich ihre Metaphorik. Daran, dass die Meta Geschichte sich letztlich primär in einem Vater/Sohn Konflikt entlädt, hätte ein Freud sicher seine Freude gehabt. Aber auch, wenn man hier weniger den psychoanalytischen Zugang sucht - die Geschichte um Tidus und Yuna ist seit Final Fantasy VII sicherlich die tiefgehendste Erzählung aus dem Hause SquareEnix. Wem die Vorgänger gefielen, den wird auch die Welt von FFX wieder begeistern. Dass das sehr taktische Kampfsystem zudem großen Spaß macht, es eine Menge spannender NPCs und Twists in der Story gibt und man sich mit diversen Minispielen und Nebenaufgaben hervorragend die Zeit vertreiben kann, macht FFX auch auf der PS3 zu einem der besten JRPG, das man spielen kann.

FFX While instantly aesthetically displeasing and having bad writing and bad voice acting [really campy b-movie level], it really did seem like it was an 8/10 early on. As the game goes on it becomes more and more abrasive for many reasons. -The random encounters are all rock paper scissors fights where you hit really heavy and so do they, so you have to manually heal your party after every single battle -They hype up this big sports game in the story, then when you finally get to play it, it is a rigged match made for you loose badly in, and then instead of that mattering for the story like they hyped it to, the game disappears into the menu at save spots as an optional minigame -there are very annoying puzzles with unnecessary menus that pop up anytime you want to do something -There are very few enemy types, they get reused often and in the same exact combinations -There are very very cheap enemies that can wipe out your entire party before you even have a turn later on, making them harder than bosses -the protagonist is exceedingly dumb -a sex scene happens completely out of no where with no lead up romance -there is a race of people who speak a different language, and you find books that teach you one letter each, and you never piece it together. You are supposed to combine the letters your friends have found on the same game system by combining the save files. So you go through the game watching all this dialogue in a different language annoyed that you can't understand it and are missing parts of the story. -the airship in this game is unusable -they didn't bother to lip-sync the characters to the english audio -an entire level where you have to constantly be on edge for lighting to hit you -and you can't skip cutscenes This last point brings me to where I quit. After a 5 minute long cutscene, I was faced with a boss that killed one of my party members before I even had a turn, and then later killed them all in one hit. When you get a game over, it doesn't offer to reload from the start of the fight or the cutscene OR your last save file. It goes back to loading the main menu. You have to click through to prevent the opening movie to play, load your game, walk back to where you were, and sit through the same poorly written, poorly acted cutscene again, only to face the same poorly designed boss. I truly do not know why this game is highly regarded, I am more disappointed in the community than the game. FFX-2 At first it seemed pretty cool. I could play through as a giant crab if i wanted to. The job system is cool. I love their goth friend. The way they tease each other is funny and lighthearted. But the more I played, the more sloppy the design became. I went to a place with a mission, it didn't tell me where that mission was, eventually I encountered a red "go there!" arrow on my mini-map, and when i went where it told me, there was nothing to do there. So I tried another mission and it involved going through an entire level you already went through in FFX just to have someone run away so you have to backtrack through that entire same level again, all with random encounters. This is a sloppy mess.

FINAL FANTASY X 7/10 - By far one of the better Square-Enix games in recent years. The game introduces the sphere grid leveling system for the first and only time which is a bit sad considering how good it was for the min-maxing completionist and gave the game plenty of reason for spamming the Battle Arena to fight some of the toughest enemies in the game. The story to the game is deep and was truly the last Final Fantasy game to date that really wanted you to see it's end. The musical score to the title was one of the series best. The game is packed with content and hands down has the best mini-game of all time; Blitzball. The major set back to this game was how slow the battle pace was during each fight. Great entry to the series and a title to be proud of. For the trophy hunters, achieving a platinum for Final Fantasy X is a walk in the park. FINAL FANTASY X-2 3/10 - The first Final Fantasy game ever to be a direct sequel and wow was this title pathetic. In short, this game is reminiscent to Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. Meaning, it is a game created specifically for girls or old men with cartoon fetishes. The story falls flat, dull, too light hearted and absolutely boring. The battle system re-introduces job based classes to the mix and is a lot quicker than FFX which was a relief. However, the sad truth is 90% of the jobs are useless and purely put in the game to watch the characters transfer from one skimpy outfit to another. Blitzball was re-introduced as a "manager mode" style which failed to capture the original beauty of the game. Although this title had alot more things to do in content the title fell short in every aspect. A game to miss. For the trophy hunters be warned, Final Fantasy X-2 is quite easy however annoying and will require a game percentage step-by-step guide to ensure a 100% play-thru on the first attempt. Combining both game scores this title has been given a 5/10.

Really good game. Lots of things to do besides the main quest. It is a pretty hard game though especially X compared to the usual games. It's more about skill when it comes to fighting rather than strength which might interest you.

8.5 that's a shockingly low score i can only guess the same guy kept making accounts and gave this game negative reviews because to be honest i have played pretty much every RPG going and finished them and they don't get much better than this epically when you take into account the games age hearing peoples complaints about this really did make me laugh the graphics people really this game came out on the ps2 and looks 100% better than it did, and saying that it feels old and dated would lead to me question to why you bought the game in the first place its a remaster not a remake from the ground up and the argument about the graphics guys look at FF7 yes one of the best RPGS ever and graphically rubbish anyway enough of my rant. If your fan of RPG's you will more than likely love FFX and FFX2 even if the girl power theme is a horrible idea in FFX2 getting back to FFX the looks great the improved graphics and the remastered music takes some getting used to but i soon loved it and the comments again about the world leading you down a straight path well yeah for the start of the story the game pretty much leads you down a path which i wouldn't call straight until you reach the calm lands at which point you can pretty do as please, you will be revisiting areas to find new and hidden items, bosses, NPC interactions, hidden areas, summons, finding new player for blitzball, monster capture, so plenty of stuff to do and explore, anyway moving on to Blitz ball one of my favourite mini games of all time think football under water now you will either love or hate this mini game but its in your interest to like it as it pays out useful items if your team wins that is,i love the fact you can recruit NPC to your team as well i spend lot of time deciding what type of team i want. The story still holds up as one of the best ever as does the turn based combat just a quick note if you have never played ffx before be sure to have a guide handy or a friend who played the game combat can seem unfair at times if you don't know the tricks to defeat some of the tricky bosses same thing for goes late game lvling, If some reason you haven't played FFX drop what doing go get a copy and enjoy. Moving on to sigh FFX2 don't worry this will be short now firstly great combat system no problems the world and main characters also no problems apart from the way over the top girl power vibe which would not have been to bad if they did it differently, and then my major problem with FFX2 is the hellish trophies and then their is the Leblanc Syndicate aka team rocket no really they are basically team rocket the act the same predictably fail in the same manner and try and steal your stuff all while delivering bad lines and breaking up a story which mite be OK if they had less to do with it and the ending doesn't really help either and the nail in the coffin was ruining blitzball why, anyway the positives again the game looks great and in terms of combat the game is arguably much stronger than FFX so while it sound like i am saying FFX2 is crap it still one of the best RPG's i have played so finally my verdicts on the games FFX 10/10 FFX2 9/10

This games were released to the PS2 and now got a HD port in the collection, i'm a huge fan of the Final Fantasy X, for me the best Final Fantasy making it worth the package for itself

Absolutely fantastic remaster of a classic game. The game has held up well in terms of gameplay, character and story. I think they could have done a bit more with the graphical upgrade and give the option to have the original soundtrack(not that the remastered soundtrack is not awesome) but besides these two very minor points its a fantastic game. Two games for the price of one and additions to the games as well as achievements added make this a well worth purchase of $40 when released and about half that price now!

A true masterpiece. The HD remastered version contains content never before released in America, and the graphics and story still hold up to this day. Unfortunately, this duology holds the travesty that is Final Fantasy X-2.

No. I just can't play this game anymore. I hate it. It's just so... bad. Let's start off with why I didn't give this game a 0/10: Reason 1: The story's... good, I guess. I mean, I like it, I just don't necessarily love it. Reason 2: The music's also okay... but more on that later. Now why it ****. Reason 1: Combat. It's so boring! Here is combat in Final Fantasy: Decide what you want to do. Press buttons. Wait for enemies to attack. Attack. Rinse and repeat. It's pretty boring. And sometimes these fights last FOREVER! You will be sitting on your couch mindlessly pressing buttons for hours. This is, without a doubt in my mind, the WORST example of turn based fighting EVER. Reason 2: The music drones on... and on... on an endless loop. The songs themselves are okay, but the fact that they loop constantly is annoying. Reason 3: The voice acting. I have no words on this topic. Goodbye. Reason 4: SIN'S. FREAKING. TAIL. WHY GAME!?!? WHYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!?!?! Reason 5: Let's get away from combat for a minute. Walking around the map is so pointless! I'm not kidding! Aside from "secret" treasure chests that you could find in a heartbeat, the game is so linear that there's no point to adding this to the game! I think that about sums it up. As a remake, it's really good! But as a GAME.... Don't pick it up. Just don't. The graphics are meh, the story is meh, the music is meh, but other than that, there isn't anything redeeming about it. I give this game... a 3/10.

The Final Fantasy atmosphere is there, graphics are OK, but characters have stiff movement. Main character is annoying and sub-characters hard to love. The skill upgrade system is unique and good. Fight system turn-based and feels dynamic. Music score great. Game pretty linear until you played more than 10/20 hours. Just can't bother finishing the second time I tried several years later.

Ahh the good old days. I have fond memorys of this game (particularly 10-2) But for sum reason it just doesn't do it 4 me now? It is 1 of the better ffs and u do get 2 games. U knows?

This game is really something else. This to me was the last great Final Fantasy title. The atmosphere was fantastic. A religion banning machina with a doctrine of living in a world where death is inevitable due to a specter of judgement called SIN. To save the world is to destroy it, a contradiction from a past war created a spiral of death that is **** is it? This is your Story! Beautiful remaster, Remixed Music, Sharpened 1080P visuals. Fast battles and a giant sphere grid to populate (Level up). This is a game of Celestial proportions do not pass the blitzball on this one!

A re-release of a very, very good game and a very solid game. The HD reskinning is hit and miss. The issue being a LOT of characters didn't get truly updated, they simply got smoothed out. So you often have high end PS2 modeled characters talking to well done PS3 HD graphical models and the difference can be quite jarring. Out side of that, if you enjoyed X and/or X-2, and you have a HD tv, this is well worth the money.

Divine game! All the problems with the original version has been corrected, the game looks more beautiful, the soundtrack sounds better. What do you want more? If you have a PS3 / PSV you have to play this game!

I was very exciting coming into this but a little disappointed. I never played FFX until I brought this game and I'm not that into it. Gameplay - My only problem is that I was stuck in Mushroom Rock Road with barely any items and I kept dying there should be more Shops available in the game to get items and icons for where to find these shops. I dislike the fixed camera and the random encounters I prefer the chase enemy or run into enemy kind of encounters like in FFXIII or Tales of Symphonia. But this is what you should expect from FF Random Encounters and Fixed Camera Points. I also don't understand the Sphere Grid System at all call me stupid or dumb or whatever I just don't understand it. For people who have played FFX before there's alot of extra's including the chance to fight Dark Aeons and a secret boss called Penance which is an extremely difficult Boss Battle. FFX-2 comes with the Last Mission Edition and some Gameplay Additions you now have the ability to control monsters and you can do other new things. FFX-2 Gameplay - This game shines in the gameplay department because its faster and much more exciting in my opinion. Too bad the bosses and story aren't as exciting or threatening as they were in FFX. Plus we still have fixed cameras and random encounters but that's to be expected of a 2001 & 2003 Final Fantasy Game. Graphics - I like the improved HD Graphics and the Main Menu KH1.5 had a similar Main Menu and I liked that one too. A Good Main Menu for an HD Collection always adds more excitement to play the game regardless of how good or bad it is and I always add points for this because some HD Collections have horrible Main Menu's like the Ratchet & Clank HD Collection. Lip Synching **** in this game. Story - The story for Final Fantasy X didn't really get me all that much but there are some twists and turns here and there to get you excited and more enticed to find out more. FFX-2's story isn't something amazing or exciting its a happy girls tale and 1 that I don't mind. When I played it for the PS2 I really used to hate it but as I play it now I don't think too badly of it anymore. Soundtrack - They remastered all the tracks for FFX which may sound good to some people but for me sounds terrible some songs didn't need to be remastered they were good the way they were. Change isn't always good so I drop points for this one. I'm not sure if FFX-2 had remastered tracks it felt the same to me regardless FFX-2's OST isn't really all that. I do like Memories of Lightwaves Mushroom Rock Road and Zanarkand Ruins Songs I can listen to those songs all day the OST isn't bad but not that great either. Characters - Tidus - The Clueless Idiot. Wakka - The Blitzball Fanatic Lulu - Simple Auron - Badass Yuna - The Chosen One Kimarhi - Silent but Tough Jecht - The Horrible Father FFX-2 Characters - Yuna - is happy and a little more badass Rikku - The Yuffie Kisaragi of Final Fantasy X-2. Paine - The Emo girl but also the Badass one. Replay Value - Moderate why? If your a fan nostalgia I'm not a fan so no nostalgia for me this is my 1st experience with FFX. For FFX-2 I have a little nostalgia. There's also alot of extra things to do in this game over 100 hours so yeah you'll be busy. For FFX-2 you'll want to replay the game to try out the different Dress Spheres and for FFX you'll replay the game again for the experience I usually replay games with long stories to get the full story experience because sometimes there's things you missed when you played the 1st time. Overall - Well in my opinion not your bias opinion its your average FF Game with a unique setting and a somewhat great story. Gameplay is good especially those Limit Breaks and the Dress Spheres adds some originality and fun to battles. Its not worth the $40 I paid for it + you don't get the Art Book and the manual is only 2 pages if you are me you would get mad just really mad. But since your not me you will get this game for $20 which is the price right now which is a better deal.

This game is such a classic. I remember my friends and I would play this game in the seventh grade. Brings back some excellent memories. Normally, I don't like it when they remake games on the PS3, primarily because they are copy and paste jobs, but this game actually is improved over its predecessor. The textures are smoother and they even changed the soundtrack a little. I liked it some areas, however I wish they would have given you an option to hear the original soundtrack. This game, at least for me, is the last final fantasy to be excellent. It's a shame that the series has gone downhill, however this game is good for the price. It's around 20 at gamestop now, so pick it up.

You must play this game, not only is the story line great and you'll get attached to characters throughout the game. You must watch the cut scenes and movie sequences as you'll learn quite a bit about some of the characters. Some parts of the game are just so beautiful and then some are very sad. It's definitely a very emotional game. At times the game can be very tough so my recommendation is that instead of just rushing through the game, stay around and battle stuff to get extra AP, this way you can level your characters up more to make the boss battles easier so you don't get frustrated. This is a must play game and one of the best for this system IMO.

Square Enix have re-released a masterpiece, here. It's unlikely that you will pay much attention to X-2 here, with X being the stand-out title. Impressively updated visuals and sound enhance the experience, along with the slightly improved interface. If you get on your hands and knees and really nitpick, you can find faults. For example, one could argue that not being able to skip cutscenes is a negative, and they can surpass five minutes. Or, the poor lip syncing, although this can partially be forgiven, considering they were PS2 games, and they have only been Remastered, not Remade. The original X way back on PS2 was my favourite game ever made, and this new bundle has flown beyond all expectation. It brings back memories, and deserves no less than 10/10, 5 stars, 100%.

This is based on only playing about 5 hours of X. I have not delved into X-2. I'll give it a benefit of the doubt on some stuff, like being ancient in terms of gamer time, but I doubt I will reach hour 6. Maybe it was more revolutionary back when it came out (I didn't play it then), but this has got to be one of the most ridiculously cut-scened game I have ever "played". About 12 minutes of the game has been actual gameplay so far. It wouldn't be so bad if I could skip the cut-scenes or if they weren't so f*cking stupid. I get that there are messages to be had and emotions to be felt, but this is about the least interesting and/or non-abrasive way in which I could receive those messages and emotions. I went in looking for a decent turn-based RPG (which seemed to be shaping up battlewise rather well in the miniscule amount of battle time there was) and ended with a 138 minute tutorial of blitzball I had no desire to learn. I would've stuck with it had they allowed me to skip the ****, but instead decided to put the final nail in the coffin that sealed away any remaining interest I had in the Final Fantasy worlds. I played and liked 1 and 7 (many years ago), but 13 and now this? No thanks.

Final Fantasy X is my favorite game in the series, in terms of story, battle system and character development. The HD version is clearly the version to get, while far from having spectacular graphics, the game has aged well. The improved and much sharper visuals improve the game significantly, because you can see the objects, e.g. chests, spheres, books etc. much better. The music, which was already great, has improved, too. Apart from the improved graphics and sound, the remake also supports trophies, which is nice since it is such a long and quite challenging game.

My favorite RPG of all time. Everything about the remaster is perfect, EXCEPT for what they did to Tidus' face. >.< I have yet to play an RPG that has a better story than FFX.

I was really looking forward to this and pre-ordered it in anticipation. I remember taking a week vacation when this first came out on the PS2 to enjoy it and beat it during that week. I was really looking forward to a 2nd jaunt through in HD and while it looks **** is not without it's issues. For one it runs a little faster on the PS3 making things that require timing/precision nearly impossible. Particularly the Lightning Plains dodging mini-game. Just to be sure I pulled out my original PS2 version and ran it on my PS2 to make sure it wasn't just me slowing down as I got older. :p It's not me. The time to dodge after the flash is FAR less than on the PS2 version making it impossible for myself and a couple of friends who also tried to get the 200 successive dodges in this new version..There are a few other issues including the odd crash but otherwise is fine and a joy to see in HD. I would give the original a 10 back when it first came out. This I can only give an 8 due to those issues mentioned that should have been resolved before shipping.

Neither game is nearly as impressive today as it was back at original launch. The remaster does some nice touchups but overall it still looks like a remastered PS2 game, and since the big draw of both these titles when they were new (mainly FFX) was how hard they pushed the tech, the game is left to rely a lot on the gameplay. Far too many cutscenes, watch more than you play for the first 20 hours or so. No cutscene skip, which should've been implemented for the Remastered version. Battles get repetitive fast. Needing to have every party member do something each battle to get XP makes grinding become very tedious very quickly. Music remixes are a nice touch but completely unnecessary, some tracks (like Via Purifico) are absolutely butchered in the new renditions, overall this was an unnecessary feature and I really would've appreciated an option for the Original tracks. FFX-2 is as painful to sit and play as it's always been. Cool battle system, but everything about it is incredibly embarrassing to play, even when alone. What's really odd is there are frame drops in certain areas, and during spell effects. The game runs at 30fps, but constantly has drops to 20 or lower when big spell effects go off. This wasn't the case with the original titles, this is a matter of upgrading the graphics a *bit* for the remaster, and then failing to optimize properly. If you've played these games before, or still have the original PS2 versions, I'd recommend waiting for a price drop before picking this up. FFX is still a very solid game overall which is what gets this a score higher than 1, but as a remaster, this package leaves a lot to be desired.

This is a beautiful remaster of an incredible entry in the Final Fantasy series. This package contains two very well fleshed out RPGs with amazing battle systems in both X and X-2 and an awe-inspiring world with fully developed, unique characters. The re-done character models look great, though the eyes do look a little vacant. The environment is vibrant and looks stunning in HD and the remastered soundtrack is terrific. X has an epic storyline that will grip any RPG fan. International content is added for those that didn't have access to it before. This includes new super bosses, abilities, job classes, a creature capture system (which add mounds of depth to X-2's customization options) and a plethora of other extras that will make old and new fans alike really enjoy this compilation. Very small issues such as unskippable cut-scenes in X and slightly longer loading times really do not detract from the experience. Though this package is great value for money, X-2's story did disappoint me quite a lot.

Here is a classic game. When it first released on ps2 I remember being extremely excited to play it, and I was happy to see that it lived up to the series name. Unlike any of the other Final Fantasy games I played I never achieved 100% completion with this one, and I'm happy to say that the HD Remake gave me the chance to correct that. Along with the greatly updated visuals, in particular the new character models for the player characters, which do look beautiful, all of the new content adds to that already great experience. If you're looking for a game to sink time into, or bang for your buck, this is the game.
