Hard to put into words...
Story: Very compelling and emotional, it really involves you. Not a single plot hole. It even made me cry, and not much can do that. It's very inspiring, everything about it is perfect.
10/10
Music: Sets the scene perfectly. The music is never dull, and always good to listen to.
10/10.
Gameplay: The turn-based battle system is great. It's fun to use, and there isn't a single hiccup. The puzzles don't fit in too well, but that's only minor. Apart from the slight annoyance of random encounters, and the highly disappointing final boss, the gameplay is perfect. The scope and depth is truly amazing. And you can develop your character's stats whichever way you want.
9.7/10
Graphics: The graphics are beautiful, but can be slightly jagged at times. Though taking into account that it was early PS2, what more could you ask?
9.5/10.
I'm going to say 11/10, above perfect. Perhaps I'm just blinded by the ending, but it's an excellent game all the way through.

The story of FFX is fantastic and beautiful. It wouldn't matter if the gameplay had been broken, I would still play and love this game just because of this story.
The tension prevalent throughout the game because of Tidus' ignorance on how summoning works and the fact that you know something is simply brilliant and really pays off during the revalation at Home (love the fade on the background noise and the looks on the characters' faces). But the fact that the story continues to build right up til the very end is what makes this game special. It isn't a simple, the truth is revealed now to save the world plot, and it continues to twist until the final scenes which are tremendous.
Add to this the greatest soundtrack in gaming and one of the best of any medium (the only ones that come right to mind that are close to this are I am Legend's track and The Fountain's). The music perfectly complimented and even added to each scene. At Zanarkand, Someday the Dream Will End, and the ending theme are three of the most beautiful pieces of pure music... match them with equally beautiful scenes and you have a art at its most poignant. All those cynics out there that scream that games are not art have no idea what art is.

First FF, and my favourite. Loved the graphics, story and gameplay, and it didn't hurt that the main character was extremely fit. But that aside, the music was beautiful - i'm still playing To Zanarkand on the piano a year on from finishing the game - and the TidusxYuna pairing was amazing. Only fault was probably FFX-2. Bit of a letdown. But it's hard to sequel such an amazing game.

final fantasy x was my second favorite. i just that it challenged me because i normally fly through games which makes it a little boring but there was times i wanted to break it because i couldnt get passed a certain part. like when u exit mount gagazet and you fight the dragon thin; it was my first time so i played through the game without using the sphere grid.. yea i no kinda noobie but i didnt know but overall it was very fun. o and i loooovvveee blitzball

I really love this game and i beat the game before finishing the sidequests just for curiosity...
as i don wanna spoil the game for u guys, i'll try to make it more general~^^
Characters: The characters in the game is very well organised and they are really vivid~ every character is very unique and their outlook was great~ my favourite character was Rikku since she was really cool and sweet~ (even in FFX-2) ok back to subject~ tough i got really confused in the beginning of the game when all the characters just popped up suddenly... but you can be able to identify them very soon~ also love the part that each character speak funny stuff in battles~
Rating:(MAX 5)
Battle: i love the battle system in this game~ though its not ATB~ it allows you to have as much time as you want to choose the action and you can really enjoy the battle~ plus the graphics was fabulous, and i absolutely love the summoning, powerful and beautiful~
Rating:
Story: the story... i was pretty confusion at the first time actually... of course, when you get deeper into the story you start to understand more and know whats going on~ its quite good and touching but would be better if there's different endings~ how i wish Tidus and Rikku be together!
Rating:
Mini games and quests: some of the mini games and quests are actually pretty annoying! i love playing blitzball(well sort of...)and therefore it wouldnt be a problem for me... but the chocobo one is really frustrating~ i was very mad and almost pulled the creator out and bash him dead~ (shhh...)anyway, the trial in the temples are quite.... pointless~ i think they can make better puzzles other than walking around and around...
Rating:
Extra stuff: well the monster arena was a great idea... catching monsters around and having more challenges~ and the dark aeons were quite a bit of a challenge~ they wouldn't be that hard as you think when you've maxed ot your stats~ they're worth it~ and i really dont want to end the game so quickly, but since i got all the celestial weapons and all dark aeons killed... there wouldn't be much left to do but still~ the last boss was... surprisingly dissappointing~ guess squaresoft wanna get it done quickly and ppl can start playing X-2...
Rating:
alright, hope u guys have fun beating the game and if you got any questions, ask right away, hope i can be some help~ thankyou~

There’s only three Final Fantasy games I've played up to now, Final Fantasy VII X and XII; I have to say by far X if my favourite followed by VII.
I thought the graphics in the cut scenes were breath taking! Though the story had just a few minor things that could have been altered but apart from that it was the best game I've ever played, I’ve played so many I can't remember.
I went through a spell of having the game for a long time, about a year, and I didn't once play on it, and as soon as I did I couldn't move from the screen. (Although as soon as I started playing it, my sister wanted to play it as well) even though half the time it wasn't me playing it, I had to follow with my eyes, being allowed to only fight a few battles, namely the hard ones.
