Final Fantasy X review HG exclusive

After that debacle, though, I noticed that Yuna had a particular piece of armor designed to block three particular negative statuses, so I decided to make sure she was always in the party when fighting them. Sure enough, she was able to avoid being confused or silenced by the…

Final Fantasy X review

FFX's gameplay, though, has some truly significant differences from its predecessors. The most drastic change is that you can swap characters in and out during battle simply by pressing the R1 button. This is extremely helpful because it keeps you from getting jacked in boss…

Final Fantasy X review

FFX introduces many new elements which have never been seen before in a Final Fantasy game. I guess the one with the biggest impact is the new battle system. Square finally decided to just throw exp/levelling-up out the window.

Final Fantasy X review HG exclusive

Being even eight years old, you have to have seen these sort of guises in one type of media or another: The unquestionably pious big brother; a girl turned callous by love and war; wise and strong, the guiding spirit of an old warrior monk; it goes on. And all of the others that…

Final Fantasy X review

Entries of the Final Fantasy series have always been memorable classics of one sort or another. Since the beginning, each of the Final Fantasy games were designed to be nothing less than epic quests for a group of heroes to defeat evil and save the world. (I suppose that’s the…

Final Fantasy X review

Final Fantasy X reached down a mighty, benevolent hand and pulled a faltering series from the tepid water in which it was drowning. Years of terrible indiscretions were forgotten in an instant, as the epic quest of Tidus and Yuna banished former Final Fantasy failures to the…

Final Fantasy X review

Final Fantasy is perhaps the biggest name in console gaming today, and the debut of the tenth game in this tradition is certainly a prime opportunity to compare this game to previous titles, and see what progress we have made. Art, in its best forms, appeals to us on many…

Final Fantasy X review

Final Fantasy X is the tenth game in Squaresofts long running role playing game series. Over the past ten years the series has evolved across four console formats. NES, Super NES, PlayStation and with this latest installment PlayStation 2. This finally arrived in the UK, one…

Final Fantasy X review

The first thing you will notice about Final Fantasy X is not the beautiful graphics, which show the great architectural structures or the beautiful lush green tropical forests or even the gargantuan mountains with winding paths covered in snow that you will become very familiar…

Final Fantasy X review

The Playstation II gave SQUARESOFT an entirely new oppurtunity. Instead of needing four discs to tell their stories, they could all pack it on one for Final Fantasy X, and with graphics to die for. Everything was looking up, and it seemed that SQUARE would one up themselves once…

Final Fantasy X review Review of the Week

Final Fantasy X is the exact product of what everyone said it would be. The visual entourage that dazzles and delights rarely lets up. The game upon full completion reaches far into triple digits according to the game's hourglass. Furthermore, this installment of Square's all…

Final Fantasy X review

The Final Fantasy series has been out for many years now, spanning many different platforms, and it has turned into one of the most beloved and revered video game series to ever grace the planet. It has certainly become one of my favorite game series, if not my favorite, and has…

Final Fantasy X review

Bon voyage, Playstation. Hello Playstation2. The Final Fantasy series has graced each era of gaming equally. The 16-bit generation of consoles were given classics like FFIII (VI in the United States) and FFIV, which appealed to the hardcore RPG gamers. Final Fantasy blew the…

Final Fantasy X review

The latest instalment of the Final Fantasy series, FFX, is truly a work of art. The graphics are great; characters are spectacular, and the story as in-depth as ever. The game introduces many new things into the series. Square kept the limit break or power break idea, only this…

Final Fantasy X review

Final Fantasy X is a very good game. In fact, judged solely on gameplay and storyline, it's a great game. However, there's a lot of little things that continually add up to make Final Fantasy X somewhat lacking. In a series that is well known for a high standard of quality, the…

Final Fantasy X review

When a game series makes the jump to one generation to the next, you expect certain things. The jump to the NES to the SNES gave square more freedom to tell a story with more lines of text and better quality music. With the PSX you where immersed in computer generated movies…
