Romance has remained a constant part of the Final Fantasy franchise for decades, weaving often heartbreaking love stories into epic tales of saving the world. And to this day no Final Fantasy, and no other game period, has managed to tell a love story more charming, poignant, and emotional than Final Fantasy X.
Final Fantasy X marked a massive turning point for the franchise, one that would define a lot of what future entries would do. It was the first game in the franchise to feature voice acting, completely overhauled the turn-based gameplay, and featured an utterly gorgeous presentation that was a tremendous step up from the PS1 titles. Despite everything it does well, however, what people remember about FFX the most are its impeccable narrative and characters.
Taking place in the world of Spira, FFX is a drastic aesthetic shift from past games with a more tropical, island setting that’s steeped with culture and religion. Spira is easily one of the best settings of the whole series, doing a great job of building diverse peoples and cultures that feel meaningful and well thought-out at every step. In this highly traditional world comes Tidus, a young man from a wildly different world, where entertainment and pleasure trump everything. FULL STORY from Inverse
