Final Fantasy X 2001

Is it still worth playing?

Square's 2001 role playing game for the PlayStation 2, set in the fantasy world of Spira, which draws on the South Pacific, Thailand and Japan. The story follows a group of adventurers on a quest to defeat a rampaging monster called Sin, and you control Tidus, a star player of the sport blitzball. It was the first Final Fantasy with fully three dimensional areas and voice acting. Battles use a Conditional Turn Based Battle system that pauses the fight during each of your turns, and you can swap any party member for one outside the active party at any time. Characters grow on the Sphere Grid, spending Ability Points to gain Sphere Levels, and Aeons arrive and fight in place of the party. Time stops while you decide and swapping characters makes each fight a choice of who suits it, so the battles still reward planning.
