Tidus laughs, the world of Spira opens up, and a piano melody settles in, never to leave you again.

Final Fantasy X's profile is that of a game still taking shape here, few votes on every line. First thing that jumps out, its fun ranks right at the bottom, ahead of barely 7% of games. Surprising for such a beloved RPG, but the question targets the sessions you put down at 3am, not the journey of a grand epic. The rest sits in the lower-middle or around the median: connection and rediscovery slightly above, the desert island quieter. Its art direction seems to peek ahead of 60% of titles, but on just two duels, that's still to confirm. Nothing here is settled yet, the early votes suggest more than they assert.

In the wide family of Japanese RPGs, FFX is a story, an emotion, a coming-of-age voyage. What immediate fun measures isn't quite its turf, this is a game you savor across dozens of hours.

So, for who? For you if you love a story that carries you and leaves a mark for years. Much less if you want the game you fire up for ten minutes between two things.
