Final Fantasy X Turns 25 This Summer, as Square Enix Opens Special Website

I don't like this. I absolutely adore the game, one of the last great FF's before 16 reclaimed much of the glory. But it is not 25 years old.

I don't remember clamouring for more screenshots in the latest gaming magazine, being blown away by every moment of it, having the single weirdest nightmare of my life about Blitzball.

Or if I do, it was last year, when it first came out.

Would love to see x-3 i remember the director saying they had an outline of what the story would be or a prequel would be good with auron jecht and brascka even though we know how it ends playing through that story and fleshing it out would be really cool.

My all time favourite game of all time. I have replayed it multiple times on all sorts of consoles and PC over the years and I still listen to the soundtrack often.

Game showed me that gaming is an artform. Love and adore it

Still the best looking PS2 game for me. When Square used to care aboit being at the pinnacle of graphics. I've never been able to pick between 7 and 10 as my favourite

@Yousef- this didn't even come to the death of FF, FF12 and 13 hold that crown by miles, this literally has everything you need for a good JRPG and sprinkle of western in there also, the cheesy story,.epic bosses, power grinding to see everything,.killing the dark Aeons is pretty much a game in itsself and the the combat arena, fun sides for ultimate weapons, od be very intrested to know what exactly marked the death

X is still one of my most favorite FF. Sadly, SE did a lazy job with the remaster but somehow they did a great job with XII remaster.

I personally don't want a remake or X-3 which sounds really bad if that audio drama from the remaster is the based story of X-3.

Square, please, just let X rest in peace. No more garbage sequel that tainted its legacy.

I consider X to be the last good FF game. 12 was good as a post game Monster Hunter game but the main game was kinda meh. 7 and 8 are still my favorites b/c nostalgia, but I recently watched my kid play 7, 8, 9, X, not in that order, more like 9, X, 7, 8 or something random like that, and really X was the only 1 that still held up. Sphere ball still sucks though. 😝

X-2 is one of the worst games I've ever played, still don't know what they were thinking, but I don't hold that against X or what came after, it was a spin-off game they kinda shoehorned into the mainline series.

Kilmari is still 1 of my favorites. One of the last non-human looking playable characters. Bunny girl Fran was basically just a girl with rabbit ears, but Kilmari was Kilmari. The all boy band in XV nearly killed me playing it. 😩 Vivi is still the best though, 9 is basically his game.

So yeah, X holds up, it's the height, the pinnacle, all lead up to there - Wakka still the best voice actor - and all downhill from there.

The 25 years doesn't phase me, I've been old for years, it's all downhill for me too for awhile now. 👨‍🦳

Been playing through the series this last few years, I get to X next year… can’t wait!

Let's have FF7 Part 3 announcement already!

@Hyena_socks hahaha, i think it’s your alzheimer’s messing with you gramps 😂😛

Happy anniversary to my favorite game of all time!

@kyleforrester87 I can't play it on PlayStation any more. Its PC with the cutscene skipper and 4x speed or nothing.
And i say that as someone who is clearly a fan of the game given my picture. But those unskippable cutscenes and long ass grinding sections have had their day.

X is second only to IX for me. One of my favourite games and it gets better with age. One of the best soundtracks to a game too. Hated the trials though. Would love FF to return to the heights of its golden run

Still waiting on some kind of FFXIII trilogy remaster/remake. Would actually love to play it on my ps5 somehow.

They could add boosters too the ps4 version would be nice.

@nomither6 no, not yet, I'm not even middle aged! I've not even begun to peak!

This is a good excuse to go back to the game though, it was like the end of a JRPG era for me. I remember being pretty disappointed with a bunch of JRPG's that followed, when I'd devoured every one I found from the late 90s onwards.

It has its tropes, but in terms of overall story and the 'big bad' it's still pretty unique and compelling. Blitzball had no right being that involved and addictive (and frustrating) too.

I love X because every single slightly boring part feeds into the narrative. There’s no 5 hour detours or nonsense sidequests, basically all of the game happens on the pilgrimage path. It has focus that later games completely botched. It’s funny that XIII attempted the same thing but failed completely. I do love XII but you just sort of wander around for most of the game.

Favourite FF and deffo in top 3 games for me. The story still hits me after all this time.
Would love to get that vinyl soundtrack but it will probably cost an arm and a leg to import it.

I really like the art they have for the vinyl record, and the plushies are really cute.

I have a soft spot for FFX, I remember playing it as a kid and enjoying it a ton. Since the game is going to be 25 years old this summer, I should really give it a replay since I haven't touched it since the PS3 version released.

@LifeGirl I played recently on PS5 for the first time, and it was completely fine. Why the drama? Just to say PC is better?

I miss the glory days of FF before it got so western.
