Final Fantasy X has a place in history as one of the best JRPGs ever, so finally replaying this PlayStation 2 classic and its sequel in Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita is a real treat. I’m impressed with how well both games hold up, and the extra story content, improved graphics, and re-recorded musical score gives an old fan something new to see.
Even having played Final Fantasy X several times before, I still found myself spellbound by everything that happens in the story. It’s a near-perfect blend of action, drama, humor, and romance that throws together memorable characters like the cheerful blitzball player Tidus and the kind but determined Summoner Yuna. I wish I could lavish equal praise on X-2 (which follows Yuna’s adventures two years later), but just like the first time I played it I found myself rolling my eyes at the silly story and muddled direction. It’s a much less endearing experience, though luckily there are more than enough good moments sprinkled in to make it worthwhile.
