Final Fantasy X is one of my favorite games of all time and was one the most iconic ones of all time due to the fact that its story was one of the most memorable. Almost anyone who played X will remeber the scence where Tidus and Yuna kiss. The only other Final Fantasy game to be applauded for its romantic story telling was
Final Fantasy VIII due to the relationship between the two main characters Squall and Rinoa. The romance between Yuna and Tidus can be seen throughout the game, and how she connects with him due to her father Braska's relationship with Tidus' father Jecht. Also as the game goes on Tidus comes to realize how much his father actually cared about him by the end of the game. He finds out most of this through stories told to him by Auron about his time he spent with his father and Braska, and how in the end he sacrificed himself to bring an era of peace to the world.
The popularity of
Final Fantasy X can be seen from the fact that it was the second game in the main series to gain a direct sequel next to
Final Fantasy VII where it continued to follow the story of the characters from the previous game. Not only that the sequel was a success with it gaining a 85% on Metacritic and IGN giving it a 9.5/ 10. Unlike many other games in the series X and X-2 were granted an HD Remake and packaged together as
Final Fantasy X/ X-2 Remastered HD edition. Another thing that added to the gameplay of the remastered edition that will put in my list of best games ever is that it included the Dark Aeons and Penance which were a set of extra bosses in the international edition. Unfortunately I never did get to face them when originally bought the game when it first came out back on the PS2, but now I have that chance relive it all over again with the new experiences as I play it on my PlayStation 4.
Also the addition of trophies into the games remake made it for an even more enjoyable experience as I have spent hours trying to collect all of them just to earn that sense of accomplishment every time I get a new one. At the time of writing this the only trophy I am currently having moderate difficulty achieving is
Lightning Dancer it is most definitely one of the most annoying due to you have to dodge 200 lighting strikes on the Thunder Plains but the hard part is you cannot be struck.
There is so much more that I can include in this post about the game making it on of the best games of all time but lets leave that for another time.
Happy Gaming
