No leveling up?
Lol, Ive just started replaying Final Fantasy X again and havent played it since 2004, yeah long time! But Ive only just noticed that you dont gain levels! I think its because Ive played Final Fantasy 12 alot and expect levels to be in every FF game.
But yeah, imagine my surprise when I seen you dont gain levels, but AP for the sphere grid. Talk about noobish-ness lol!
So yeah, how do you feel without the level system? Would you rather have levels so you can see how far youre progressing or do you like the good old sphere system and see it as an interesting way of leveling?

Come to think of it, your not the only one who forgot. The same goes with me as well, you have just reminded me.
I actually prefer the levelling up more than FFX sphere grid.

I wasn't too bothered. The Sphere Grid was a nice change, even if it was only for one game. Sort of like something to make it all less repetitive.
FFXII tried to give a mix of both, with the License Board and levels too, but it wasn't quite as good I thought.

Mad isnt it lol?
Yeah the sphere grid was different, but I love levellinh up in any game! It pushes me forward in battle to get as high a level as I possible can. But in X, I feel like I have nothing to push forward for, only a new ablility if possible.

With XII's license board, I feel you fill it too easily but with the Sphere Grid you can continue on to another characters side and it goes on for ages.

I’ll admit I definitely missed it, I always enjoyed the traditional leveling system found in the previous titles, but I did like the change with the Sphere Grid. It was interesting and it sure took a hell of a long time to fully complete...

I played this before FFXII so when I returned to it the second time I was surprised, but not as surprised as I take you to be. 
Eh, can't say I missed the level system, it was (sorta) easier to see stats increase with the Sphere Grid system.

Haha, I didn't even think of it until now either. I prefer gaining levels then AP for the sphere system in X. That's a real shame they did that in my opinion but you can't always get what you want. I haven't played X for ages now so it's harder to remember things about it, that's my excuse anyway.

i'm a huge fan of the sphere grid. i thought it was a great change, it allowed you to customize your characters more to your liking. also it was a much longer process then leveling up to level 99, so it gave the game more to do. i also thought it was the most beneficial way of training your characters.
