Final Fantasy X tv Review
Spira, once a peaceful land, has been under a threat from the existence of Sin for a 1000 years now. Their only hope is the Summoners. Only they are able to defeat Sin and bring the "Calm" if they complete their pilgrimage.
In Besaid Island, a 17-year-old newly made Summoner, Yuna, meets Tidus - a boy who claims to have come from Zanarkand. However, as unbelievable as it might seem, Zanarkand, is no more than ruins and rubble from war that took place 1000 years before. Together with Tidus and her guardians Lulu, Wakka and Kimahri, Yuna sets upon a pilgrimage as a Summoner in order to bring peace back to Spira.

Art
The Artwork for the game is amazing. Graphics are superb and the details of each character and monster is beautiful.
Also the menu designs are really nice, the game has a pop culture theme to it but adds a lot of Elements of Art. One
place you encounter has a beautiful Blue and purple color scheme for a forest. The graphics also helps make the story a
lot better.
The Places to see and characters to meet is whats fun about the game. The weapons are detailed but comes in little
variety of style. There is all sorts of types of landscape of different color. The cities look nice and so does the
characters. Overall the graphics was amazing when it first came out and is till really nice to look at.

Sound
The Music is very well done. like all other Final Fantasy the music gives you an Epic feel. The battle music is nice
and done very well for the type of fighting in the game. Most of the music relates to the theme so it's really quite
nice. Each character always has they're own music theme and this games themes are well done but not the best.
The Introduction theme "To Zanarkand" is one to remember because it's really sad and really does show what
the game has to offer. Truely an Epic theme for an epic game.

Presentation
I really liked this game a lot. Mush of the other Final Fantasy's didn't feel as Epic as Final Fantasy 7 untill this
one came out. FFX is truely one of the better Final Fantasy's with enough comedy, Action, and Romance to keep you
playing. The Fighting system is the best in a Final Fantasy yet. The Leveling up system is nothing special but very
creative.
I loved how the game had scenes like a movie that had voice and dialog. The story is pretty neat and has a lot of
mysteries. The Sidequest comes in many variety that kept me playing for well over 250 hours. The Monsters comes in all
variety and difficulties. The gameplay is easy to learn because there is an arrow that points to where you go next. Your
supporting characters all have they're own personality that makes the game enjoyable.
I played the game when it first came out and beat it in about 3 days. I have to say I was really into this game and
been waiting for a game like this in a while. It's not quite difficult if you like to play Rpg's and even for Rpg
newbies will adapt quickly to this game. Like all other Final Fantasy's it starts out easy and gets harder as you
progress.
This is truely an Awesome game Overall is graphics, music, gameplay, and story.
