Lets discuss ffx and vii the two most celebrated titles of the series.

Story: Although Vii has been called the best game and story from beginning of cloud appearing and the ending is great and all. However ffx opening with to zanarkland and the listen to my story strives emotion into many ff players. The story of ffx goes from begging and focuses on 3 points of interest. One is sin and save the world. The second point is auron and tidus story. While the final is tidus choice at zanarkland. While ffvii has also has points of interest such as: save the world and cloud pass. In my opinion ffx has the better story because, of these points.

Battle system: ffvii uses a atb system along with materia. Which works like the following of basically putting materia into weapons and armor also allowing lot customization. While ffx uses atb and allows the player see the enemy turns allowing one to think of strategy instead of blindly guessing and enemy turn. Then again both system are tied of which i prefer to use.

Level up: While fvii use the same old same old of just leveling up. Then there ffx which brings something new to players of the sphere grid which allows you to learn any skill on the grid and customize characters to your liking. This is why i prefer ffx way of new and innovated instead of the old fashion method.

Music: The hardest of the topics while ffvii and ffx have two of the best soundtracks. Some of ffvii are the prelude,One-Winged Angel, and planet crisis to name of name. This is where ffx in my opinion has its strongest point with to zanarkland, the ending theme, "Suteki Da Ne, and a dream that will end some time are all memorable. The reason that it tops it is the emotions of the player gets sadden with the opening music of ffx and ending and can get some player to tears. Wile ffvii does this to it doesn't do it on the scale of ffx. This is why ffx has the better soundtrack to me.

Main character: FFx has the main character tidus who like the player is confused and the star of the but grows just as the player does and makes a coice at the end most wouldn't do. Now to ffvii wit cloud who is shrouded in mystery and learn of little details of his past and also grows as a character. For these reasons i believe ffvii has the better lead but not by much.

Supporting cast: The part that makes ffx even in better is the cast around tidus which are: auron, wakka,lulu,yuna,rikku, and kimahri who lead the main character to his goal and devlop. The character the most devlopment could be wakka who religion at the end gets shaken to core from the truth. While Auron is the strong and silent type knowing what will happen when they reach zanarkalnd. The other character will be explained by others. Now to fvii: The characters of which i forgot have many developments and regrets that don't get solve that can mess with the players emotions. This why i believe ffx has the better supporting cast.

The final is villain: while i believe sephiroth is the best villan of the series people do not. hate him like the three villains of ffx sin.yu yevon, and seymour who do there job. While vii has the better villain a player is suppose to hate the villain not like him.

This is everything to say about the two games and what they do best while everything wasn't covered in greatest detail i would like people to discuss what both games do best and add anything that missing such as ffvii supporting characters.

I think you need to adjust the comparisons to allow for the fact that 10 was on ps2 allowing for better graphics and to put more into the games.

You could compare sidequests, its tough to compare backstories because 7 is in the same universe as 10 just way prior too it.

For me, the golden saucer was fun. The minigames to unlock the celestial weapon's abilites was just annoying and waste of time. Dodge 200 in a row? get 0 or less on the race? neither of those things are fun in the least.

What about limit breaks vs overdrives?
To be honest, I am not sure which I liked better.

Spells/Animations? or Abilities?
The contain materia was awesome. But in X once you learned a spell you always had it so that was def. better.

Worlds?
7 had the cooler world and it was bigger, both had good diversity though.

Airships?
X def. had the weaker airship it just looked pansy-ish.
